The politicization of phobia is... annoying. In my field, there are specific phobias -- such as an overwhelming fear, to the point of panic, of a specific animal, object or situation. There are two subsets that are so common to exist apart: social phobia and agoraphobia -- which is the fear of being trapped more … Continue reading SJW phobia is a Nigerian email scam.

Taleb, Turkey
This collection of quotes was primarily from linkage by Will S. There is a theme. Choose your allies by who they are, not what you would like them to be. In general, the Turk is the enemy: our forefathers got that right in WWI. From the time when they first entered the Middle East in … Continue reading Taleb, Turkey
Near sighted despite correction [2 Pet 1]
A bit of theology on salvation. We are saved. It is done. We cannot add to it nor subtract from it. It is only through Christ that we escape from the sinful desire of this world. So, why then, should we improve? Why don't we just sit and listen to our gut? Why do we … Continue reading Near sighted despite correction [2 Pet 1]
A warning to this generation [1 Thess 5]
Well, we are not living in a time of peace and prosperity. We were, but now things are changing. The situation between Turkey and the Tsar needs careful management. There are Sunni terrorists posing as refugees in the European heartland: and the cucks -- Key, Obama, Trudeau and whoever is the current PM of Australia … Continue reading A warning to this generation [1 Thess 5]
Roger Gale on refugees.
I have a namesake who is a Tory MP (and thanks to the Romans at the Hermeneutic of Continuity who linked to his Sunday Trading Blogpost). He seems a good sort of the type that exists in the English parliament but not in NZ or Australia: the career backbencher. There are but 120 MPs in … Continue reading Roger Gale on refugees.
But, mundabor, Trolls are crunchy with tomato sauce.
For those of you who do not get the Laundry reference I will elaborate. Charles Stross assumed a multiverse in this book series and that one could use mathematical alogrithms to communicate with aliens. The parallels with witchcraft were noted: and the aliens consider us Scooby snacks. Or as he put it, they find us … Continue reading But, mundabor, Trolls are crunchy with tomato sauce.
Expect opposition [I Peter 4]
Well, we are going to have a fairly tough time. Locally, it appears that my town is going to be a refugee centre. This led to a very scary conversation at lunchtime, when a Singhalese colleague who has just come from the UK made the comment that the Christians and Yezhadis and Amalites have fled … Continue reading Expect opposition [I Peter 4]
Cinnamon on Fedora and chapeau.
With Fedora 23, there is an official cinnamon Spin. This is useful, since I find cinnamon much more usable than Gnome. Or Apple OS, for that matter. If you have fedora or chapeau installed, you don't need to reinstall: just run sudo dnf install @cinnamon-desktop The guys have made a video that demonstrates this in … Continue reading Cinnamon on Fedora and chapeau.
The fruit of progressive religion is death.
It is all about the consequences of behaviour. To start with I need to quote something I said at Vox earlier today.... and give you all a trigger warning. All the tweets are from the Unitarian church, and I did not screenshot the creepiest one with a gay couple, a lesbian couple and an ordinary … Continue reading The fruit of progressive religion is death.
The truth is not abusive, Petunia offense notwithstanding [I Peter 5]
Well, we have those who see all discipline as abuse and all confrontation as power come in and double down on the church. Dalrock has a series of articles about the wife of a pastor who claims she was abused... and now wants out. And the commentators there are cynical. With good reason: as I … Continue reading The truth is not abusive, Petunia offense notwithstanding [I Peter 5]
