An Element of Emulation

New blog post: An Element of Emulation.

For an upcoming project, my poetry group has decided to look at forgotten poets from Dundee and bring them back to the forefront once more. As part of our research, we were invited up to the central library to look at archived copies of The People’s Journal. This was in print from 1858 to 1986, and the editions we looked at were all issued towards to the beginning of that period. Unfortunately,…

I reacted to lame Valentine's messages. Eve's 10 roses are red poems and hilarious Valentine's 😂 😃 😄

Hi Lovestar, If you’re tired of Valentine’s content, no worries, it’s about to be over this week, which means we’re on the final and most intense Valentine’s Day explosion of content. I will plan Valentine’s content for next year and years to come much more carefully. This is meant to be a fun and lighthearted post with my sprinkle of sexy poetry on it! Lame things people say on Valentine’s…

Power of the press, top-secret papers, and the media's obligation to "truth" in "The Post"

Daniel Ellsberg opens the safe which contains The Pentagon Papers at the beginning of the film. This is the only security stopping him from accessing the papers. Some time ago, I watched the 2017 film, The Post, a historical and political thriller film about the role of the Washington Post in publication of The Pentagon Papers. Critics were relatively positive, apart from criticizing the film’s…

Nancy B.

Today, Nancy speaks to us about how God called her into her ministry, her podcast Ordinary People Extraordinary Things, and why you need to tell your story. Tell us a bit about how you grew up and your childhood: I grew up on an acreage in rural Iowa with my mom, dad, sister, and brother. My dad owned his own business (and still does) doing carpentry work. By watching him build spec houses and…

No More Of This "High School Stuff"

“After I finished high school things got real” The same month I graduated high I got a job in a production plant. Straight out of high school. It was a very diverse work environment with different cultures. As clueless as I was, it taught me a lot about being an adult. I learned I couldn’t be so careless and reckless I truly realized when people said “welcome to the real world” this is what they…

The Addiction of Best-friends

It’s the end of January- already. Crazy how this month has vanished in a blink.  Being absent from Christmas and New Years, kind of felt like I missed the things that usually kiss the year goodbye. The rituals and people that swaddle you up in a blanket of retrospection; with the outcome feeling like you’re stuck in the same year, just with extended months.  I don’t know why anyone would want…

Humans are biased. There is no.doubt about that. I'm including myself in this category. But in making policy, in a democratic republic with a diverse group of people you have to acknowledge it. I have a particular soft spot for marginalized women, children, elderly for a historic slew of reasons. I try aggressively not to weapinise it. So watching fragile egos with majorities do it is quite a trigger for me. It's not a luxury society allowed to me or the past generations of my family. Nor could I stomach myself if I did.

Any first year science student will completely understand the above pics. A real journalist should have similar values. Journalism isn't entertainment. An op ed piece is a separate genre entirely. There is a time and place for it all.

You MUST entertain ALL possibilities. Rule them out probabilistically and systematically. Some theories will persist because they cannot be ruled out and that is just fine. Conformity is NOT the point. The weaponizing of science from people with NO science background is destructive.

DO your job. If I wanted to read the entertainment section I would

Of course, I’ve combined it with my own Tanka Tuesday challenge where the theme this week is “maps.” Forgive me for not using one of our regular forms.

Phoenix Journals - SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET

Phoenix Journals – SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET

  이것은 약 30 년 전 피닉스 저널에서 나온 현대판 계시록이다. 그동안 이와 비슷한 종류의 세상의 종말에 대한 예언은 매우 많았며, 대표적으로는 약 2,000년 전 요한 계시록이 있다. 물론 그러한 계시들 중 어느 것도 현재까지는 이루어지지 않았지만, 언젠가는 이루어질 수도 있을 것이다. 그러나 그 ‘언젠가’ 가 언제가 될지는 아무도 모른다.

이 문제는 시간을 초월해 존재하는 상위 존재들(?) 과 시간에 제한받을 수 밖에 없는 우리 인간과의 본질적 차이에서 기인하는 것이다. 즉 상위 존재들로서는 ‘그 사건이 일어날 것이다.’ 는 팩트 자체만 중요하다. 그렇기 때문에 그들의 입장에서는 그 사건이 언제 일어 날 것인지에 대해서는 거의 관심이 없거나 완전히 무관심할 수 밖에 없다. 그 점은 이미 입증 되었다.…

Think spending time with your kids and spouse is the key to your happiness? You may actually be happier getting together with your friends, said SMU psychology professor Nathan Hudson. Hudson's research finds that people report higher levels of well-being while hanging with their friends than they do with their romantic partner or children. In fact, being around romantic partners predicted the least amount of happiness among these three groups, reveals a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. via Snapzu : Health & Body

Less than 2% of India’s population is invested in stocks and mutual funds.

Yet, India has at least half-a-dozen business newspapers in English. And just as many business news channels. Every newspaper in every language, in every part of the country, has a page—or half of page—dedicated to business news.

Or what they think is…

The Rise of Young Black Conservatives

The Rise of Young Black Conservatives

This past weekend, I spoke for the second time at the second annual Black Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., hosted by Turning Point USA. Turning Point was founded in 2012 by then-18-year-old Charlie Kirk. Its website describes its goal as seeking “to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.”

In addition to…
