2022 The Year of Discontent

I had several titles for this article. Top of the list initially was, “Lying Bastards” but that may be insensitive to bastards. Here we are halfway through the first month of the new year and around the world leaders are doubling down on their respective populations with mandates and restrictions that despite being about pandemic

Fake News Alert

Okay I should have titled this “Shameless Self Promotion” as I am going to promote a little project I started a few weeks back. Lots of people have experienced strange feelings of rage, anxiety, or depression at times when watching, reading, or listening to news over the past few years. I know I have and

Something that has probably been questioned by people who are endowed with a modicum of critical thinking. When did vaccination status override testing negative for covid? Personally, I would be more comfortable with people who tested negative rather than positive, regardless of if they are vaccinated or not. The data and media reports of how

My Covid Things

I have a warped sense of humour which would be apparent to any who have read anything I have written. I recently wrote my first ever rap song and from that decided that perhaps music is the key to finding sanity in the world we now live in. I re-wrote the lyrics to the Sound

It is being promoted by our political class and media, and as with anything to do with the virus it is creating a divide within society and within segments

Same Shit Different Day

There are so many topics to touch upon today that it has become somewhat impossible to figure out where to begin. First things first, this technological dinosaur has embedded two songs that kind of relate to the sentiment of this article. Here in sunny lockdown Australia this morning the news is the same old, same
