Happy New Year, everyone! It has been a thundery, sweltering start to 2021 down here in Auckland.

Understandably then, the beaches have been very popular, […]

At the time of writing, only one of the two US Senate Elections in the state of Georgia has been officially called, with Democrat Raphael Warnock unseating Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler. The other race, featuring Democrat John Ossoff against Republican Senator David Purdue, has not been officially […]
Some of you may be familiar with the internet phenomenon of recent years whereby people, seeking to make some form of political point, choose to put hilariously implausible words in the mouths of their small children. Usually, in these stories, the children are implausibly eloquent, extraordinarily concerned about political issues, and coincidentally, hold the exact […]
Interesting fact of the day, for those of you who don’t think so much about the words you use: “Amen”, which christian people customarily say at the end of a prayer, doesn’t actually have anything to do with men.

Many of you have been following the ongoing campaign by Laila Mickelwait of Exodus Cry to shut down PornHub, the world largest porn monopoly (her petition has now garnered more than 2 million signatures.)

As the fallout from the revelations that Pornhub has regularly hosted videos of sex trafficking and rape continues, more evidence that pornography is fueling the victimization of minors is emerging. According to an extensive report in The Guardian—the U.K.’s left-wing standard-bearer—pornography has “become a gateway drug into child abuse.” The report cites the observations of counselor Michael Sheath, […]
A bit of twitter bait here from the Brazilian Foreign Minister: The pandemic must not lead to totalitarian social control or the abrogation of fundamental freedoms. Freedom is foundational to the UN and essential to human dignity. Brazil🇧🇷 stands for freedom.
