If the last 18 months have proven anything to us, it is the truth of Lord Acton's observation that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". There is no better demonstration of this...

The weekend is finally upon us, and much-needed it is, too. This week has been a busy one, at every level. Trying to keep up with events is approaching a futile exercise, almost, because things...

The past day or so has been quite chaotic in terms of Banderastan War news. For a few hours yesterday, there was all kinds of panic all over Russian Telegram channels about a major Ukrainian assault...

Back when I was living Stateside, in a part of the East Coast with a fairly substantial Hispanic population (in the Heights area, not downtown where I was), May the 5th was always this weird...

Just a quick one from me today, lads, as it is late and I am absolutely knackered. Yesterday was leg day, and it was unusually difficult - I have no idea why, I finished up my course of antibiotics...

Yes, I know, I'm a day late with this one, but I have been spectacularly unmotivated to write for a few days. It took me a while to get around to posting that long one about how one Jacob Dreizin...
