Reworking The Paradox of Choice
The events in New York and Virginia of the past couple of weeks have been interesting, to say the least. The abortion debate has escalated dramatically, with talk of fourth-trimester abortions and keeping the infant “comfortable” while “a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” Without getting too much into the politics of… Continue reading Reworking The Paradox of Choice
Politically incorrect thoughts on intersectional authorship
I’m subscribed to six or seven short story podcasts, and I’ve noticed a trend on them recently. Before they start the story, they introduce the author by first listing all of the intersectional minority identities that the author qualifies for, like “queer,” “transgender,” “immigrant,” “disabled,” “person of color,” etc. Whenever story starts off like this,… Continue reading Politically incorrect thoughts on intersectional authorship
Would you kill baby Hitler?
So the March for Life happened recently, and Ben Shapiro did a live show where he used a thought experiment about going back in a time machine to kill baby Hitler to make a pro-life argument. His argument was that you shouldn’t kill baby Hitler; instead, you should raise baby Hitler in a more loving… Continue reading Would you kill baby Hitler?
Christine Blasey Ford raped me
As you may have heard, the congressional hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have been thrown into chaos late in the eleventh hour by shocking allegations of sexual misconduct. The accuser is a certain professor Christine Blasey Ford from Palo Alto, California. According to her, when Kavanaugh was around seventeen (I say “around,” because… Continue reading Christine Blasey Ford raped me
Why Extra Credits is right (and couldn’t be more wrong)
It is rare that I see something that truly makes me outraged. As trendy as it is these days to raise your fist and shout at the world, that’s something I generally try to avoid. But recently, I saw something that I just cannot let fly without addressing it directly. It’s this: The Good Extra… Continue reading Why Extra Credits is right (and couldn’t be more wrong)
“Do you have any Republican friends?”
Will Witt from PragerU recently went to New York and asked a bunch of random people this question. The result was this video, and holy heck. I’m not even a Republican, and I’m infuriated. We have a word for people who don’t tolerate anyone who disagrees with them. It’s INTOLERANT. We have a word for… Continue reading “Do you have any Republican friends?”
Thoughts on #AmazonClosed and disappearing KU reads
There are a lot of scandals happening in the indie publishing world right now. The latest one has to do with Amazon deleting KU reads from March: some authors have seen their page reads retroactively revised down as much as ninety percent. The speculation is that this is connected with Amazon deactivating several customer accounts,… Continue reading Thoughts on #AmazonClosed and disappearing KU reads
Further thoughts on the Florida school shooting
The Broward County sheriff needs to resign or be fired immediately, and should also stand trial for criminal negligence. There’s something rotten in the state of Florida, and it all points back to this man. CNN has completely lost all credibility. As far as I’m concerned, they rank slightly above Alex Jones and slightly below… Continue reading Further thoughts on the Florida school shooting
Color Revolutions and Collusion News Network
For most of 2012, I lived in Georgia, a former Soviet Republic of the USSR. I came to know the people, the culture, and the politics of that part of the world first-hand. In particular, I was there for the 2012 elections, a watershed moment for modern Georgian politics. A little bit of background. Georgia… Continue reading Color Revolutions and Collusion News Network
