Cryptocurrency – a way to supposedly create wealth by wasting massive amounts of water and energy to do meaningless computer calculations that solve no actual real life problems or serve…
I missed this back in August, but, while I keep seeing Orwell and Huxley in everything around us, Tern saw Joseph Heller: This is exactly the crazy-making that’s going on.…
We’re skipping gleefully into the most absurd period in history. The philosophical notion of the absurd came from Camus. It grew legs with existentialists after WWII when the youngest and…
So Dr. Kieran Moore, CMOH, claimed he doesn’t have the authority to institute mandatory masking in schools, and that boards can “consult with their local medical officer of health.” It…
I was searching through YouTube looking for things to include in my career retrospective, mainly looking for a clip of an old CKCO show, What’s Your Point/The Final Round, from…
I just finished John Green’s Turtles All the Way Down, which I read because he claimed it was his way of trying to put words around what it’s like to…
