WHO LET THE GODS OUT?

Ever since I was a kid I’ve wondered what the hell happened to all those beautifully carved ancient statues with their noses, eyes and extremities chopped off. Then I studied the history of the Roman Empire and discovered the sad truth: it was the Christians that done it! Christianity did not grow from quiet proselytizing […]

The country has reverted back to what it has always been throughout its history: a white supremacist, oligarchic, theocratic, authoritarian imperial power. tRump and […]

A RACE TO THE BOTTOM…

In the absence of any actual policies, the GOP has chosen instead to promote every unqualified, brain-damaged wannabe fascist they can find to public office. Former NFL star, wife-beater and serial philanderer Herschel Walker is a perfect example of this strategy, but he is certainly not the only one. The Republican nominee for the US […]

BRING BACK GOOD MUSIC!

A recent article in The Guardian [‘Bring that beat back: why are people in their 30s giving up on music?’ by Daniel Dylan Wray] highlighted research which purportedly show that as people today reach their thirties, music becomes less important in their lives. It’s a sign of the times that music is not so much […]

College

“President” Joe Biden’s measly ten thousand dollar student forgiveness program doesn’t go nearly far enough to actually fix the student debt crisis.
