Good evening, I’m Completely Empty BBC Presenter. We are here to debate whether Kneecap and Bob Vylan should be sent to the gallows, on one side, we have Barry Constantbladder, who supports the mass slaughter of the Palestinian people and wishes Kneecap and Bob Vylan to be sent to the gallows, on the other side … Continue reading Should Kneecap and Bob Vylan Be Sent To The Gallows?
Fuck It
There's a comparison I'm very reluctant to make. Because it's a very overused, and abused comparison. I feel if I made this comparison, I would be deploying the oldest trick in the book, and really, what would that say about....... Fuck it. I'm comparing the way the Western Media genuflects to Israel to the classic … Continue reading Fuck It
Bottlehill Forest Is A Great Place To Listen To Bird Song. But It Shouldn’t Be.
One of my favourite places to listen to bird song, and record bird song, is Bottlehill Forest (I'm not sure if that's even the exact name of the place, but that's what I've come to know it as.) Some of my clearest recordings of robins and chaffinches were recorded there. And now I look forward … Continue reading Bottlehill Forest Is A Great Place To Listen To Bird Song. But It Shouldn’t Be.
How I Went From A Mess Of Thought Terminating Cliches To A Supporter Of Palestine
I think I probably have a reputation among people I know as, that guy who never shuts up about Palestine. Palestine this, Palestine that, has he anything else to say for himself? And I get the impression, that I come across as someone who has been a supporter of Palestine for years, if not decades. … Continue reading How I Went From A Mess Of Thought Terminating Cliches To A Supporter Of Palestine
A Zebra Jumping Spider Comes To Visit Me On My Backyard Patio Table
https://imgur.com/nefMSOD Possibly the world's best spider. One of the reasons I got obsessively into wildlife was my absolute fascination with jumping spiders. I would watch video after video after video about them, and Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children Of Time was also a big part of it. That's a book about how jumping spiders are given a … Continue reading A Zebra Jumping Spider Comes To Visit Me On My Backyard Patio Table
How To Pretend To Care About Palestinian Life
My friends, we all knew this dark day would come. I just didn’t think it would come so soon. Our Lord and Saviour, Bono, has stated that Nehenhayu has been very bold this year. If even the Crown Prince of Lethargic Centrism has offered a fairly mild criticism of Israel, then I’m afraid we may … Continue reading How To Pretend To Care About Palestinian Life
I Have Watched Almost All 889 Episodes Of Doctor Who, But I Won’t Be Watching The Next Episode
To say I love Doctor Who would be an understatement. I remember it being a constant feature in my house as a child, those constant U.K Gold reruns, but that's not when I got into it. I started watching it when, as is the case for many sci-fi fans, the revived series saw Christopher Eccleston … Continue reading I Have Watched Almost All 889 Episodes Of Doctor Who, But I Won’t Be Watching The Next Episode
The Arrival Of The Baby Birds, One Of The Best Times Of The Year!
https://imgur.com/DK8CskG Three cygnets in the Lough. I wrote last year about how much joy I get from seeing baby birds slowly grow into adults over the span of often as little as a few months: https://autismneurodiversity.com/2024/07/12/the-elation-of-seeing-baby-birds-growing-up/ And they grow up so fast! People say that about humans. No, humans do not grow up fast. Thirteen … Continue reading The Arrival Of The Baby Birds, One Of The Best Times Of The Year!
Amazing Pilots, The Peregrine, The Kestrel And The Mute Swan
Sometimes I'm blown away by the fact that birds are sentient aircraft. When I overhear people complaining about how there are too many pigeons or seagulls around, I think about it the other way, I feel privileged that I get to share a planet with such amazing animals. Birds are amazing pilots. And what I'm … Continue reading Amazing Pilots, The Peregrine, The Kestrel And The Mute Swan
Transphobia Is A Useless Distraction From Your Real Problems, Don’t Fall For It!
I remember, starting around 2020, it could have been before that but this is just when I became aware of it, trans people really started to become a target. It started as something I would witness from afar in Britain and the United States, but as the years went by, I would gradually meet Irish … Continue reading Transphobia Is A Useless Distraction From Your Real Problems, Don’t Fall For It!
