RELIGION EXPOSED TO EDUCATION REDUCES GOD TO ABSTRACTION
Sep 5

Sep 5 RELIGION EXPOSED TO EDUCATION REDUCES GOD TO ABSTRACTION

Laura Hooker
debunked, bullshit, religion

Laura Hooker evades having to pen this weeks ‘long read’ content by submitting instead a short but sweet takedown of religious experience. She reveals it to be another case of addict-personality, a useful Trojan story with chapters for regulating emotion (numbing) to chasing the junkie hit (rapture).

HELP! HELP! DO YOU HEAR THE NEWS? THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!
Aug 29

Aug 29 HELP! HELP! DO YOU HEAR THE NEWS? THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!

Tamsin Arnold
debunked, spin

Tamsin isn’t interested in more useless dead-end stories and in this ‘long read’ she presents her conclusion that all the talk about Russians and their influence on election propaganda is a red herring, not simply because it’s unlikely but because it wouldn’t matter if it were 100% correct.

DING! DING! DING! DON'T BE ANOTHER PINBALL IN THE PINBALL MACHINE
Aug 22

Aug 22 DING! DING! DING! DON'T BE ANOTHER PINBALL IN THE PINBALL MACHINE

F. J. Wexler
pushingback

Advice from resident Newslegion curmudgeon on how to get through the confused smokescreen of news, gossip and crafted hypernormalisation without being lost in an endlessly distracting cycle of event response event response.

1 in 100 WRONG + TIME = 99 in 100 WRONG
Aug 15

Aug 15 1 in 100 WRONG + TIME = 99 in 100 WRONG

Merton Futon
perspectives, blameyourself, hypernormalisation

Merton Futon thinks about the way “fake news” (or bullshit) can feed into the mainstream to become accepted truth without any dishonesty or deliberate hypernormalisation, where journalists are sincere and hard-working and almost never make mistakes…

COULD IT BE A CHANGING WORLD OR IS IT ALL JUST A CHANGING YOU?
Aug 8

Aug 8 COULD IT BE A CHANGING WORLD OR IS IT ALL JUST A CHANGING YOU?

Agoston Weedon
perspectives, life

Agoston, our scheming biologist, shares some of his thoughts on aging - and specifically middle age - and wonders why the things that were once simple passions seem to fade, as if life itself is like a great song that starts beautiful but soon loses its magic as it gets overplayed…

POETRY IS WORD ALCHEMY BUT ONLY IF THE CHEMISTRY IS PERFECT
Aug 1

Aug 1 POETRY IS WORD ALCHEMY BUT ONLY IF THE CHEMISTRY IS PERFECT

Maggie Hetherington
perspectives

Maggie is our resident literati and in this short piece, she thinks about why rhyme seems memorable and why poetry remains relevant in a world of prose.

F. J. WEXLER AND THE BACK TO THE FUTURE RUBICON
Jul 25

Jul 25 F. J. WEXLER AND THE BACK TO THE FUTURE RUBICON

F. J. Wexler
perspectives, top, philosophy

The" “Back To The Future” rubicon is F. J. Wexler’s defining dividing line between our modern world and “the recent past” i.e. what’s commonly called the 20th century. He defines the rubicon and tries to explain why it’s the beginning of the end of everything we human beings we care about.

TELEPORTING MIGHT ONE DAY BE CONVENIENT - BUT IT'S ALSO MURDER!
Jul 18

Jul 18 TELEPORTING MIGHT ONE DAY BE CONVENIENT - BUT IT'S ALSO MURDER!

Merton Futon
perspectives, science

In a flash of inspiration, the truth about “teleportation” came to Merton Futon as he was watching an episode of Star Trek. In a few paragraphs he tries to explain why teleportation is - objectively speaking - a window into the way consciousness works and how, if it worked like in the movies, it would be an act of murder.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN - NOT GOD MAKING MAN BUT MAN MAKING THE GODS
Jul 11

Jul 11 INTELLIGENT DESIGN - NOT GOD MAKING MAN BUT MAN MAKING THE GODS

Agoston Weedon
perspectives, religion, science

Agoston is a scientist and hasn’t much patience for human egomaniac fantasy - plus he’s renowned for not being swept up in the moment. In this short piece, he thinks about intelligent design and God and synthetic intelligence (AI) as it is and what maybe it’ll become.

THREE INDELIBLE WORDS: LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY
Jul 4

Jul 4 THREE INDELIBLE WORDS: LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY

F. J. Wexler
pushingback

Frank Wexler, ever the practical sceptic, puts “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” in the red white and blue crosshair and tries to explain why the Left and the Right are doomed to destroy themselves.

BLAME TRUMP AND TRUMP VOTER STUPIDITY AT YOUR PERIL
Jun 27

Jun 27 BLAME TRUMP AND TRUMP VOTER STUPIDITY AT YOUR PERIL

Laura Hooker
pushingback, politics

In an attempt to put Trump and what he represents into some sort of context, Laura Hooker tries to see the bigger picture and put Donald Trump into perspective so he can shed light on some of what matters more than one particular day’s distracting brouhaha.

RESPONSE: "DARK TOURIST" A NETFLIX TRAVELOGUE (2018)
Jun 20

Jun 20 RESPONSE: "DARK TOURIST" A NETFLIX TRAVELOGUE (2018)

Tamsin Arnold
connoisseur, response, media

Tamsin is a consumer of Netflix content and travel shows, stumbling on “Dark Tourist” in 2018. Here she writes up some of her reactions and observations in a spontaneous stream-of-consciousness review.
