Skippable Intro So I'm going to do something a little different. Rather than review an entire series, or an entire season of a show, I'm going to do an episode review. Besides, when it comes to a show like the Simpsons, most die-hard fans will agree that this show has been dying a slow death … Continue reading The Simpsons: S2E9: Itchy & Scratchy & Marge

What is censorship in the face of sensitivity?
So I originally had this as a blog post on boardgamegeek.com. I suspected it would be too hot for it to handle. Sure enough, before the day was over: "Your blog has been deleted due to multiple severe violations of site rules, including defending sexism and objectification, dismissiveness to concerns about inclusiveness, personal attacks, and … Continue reading What is censorship in the face of sensitivity?

If It’s Cyber-War They Want, It’s Cyber-War They’ll Get!
So yesterday InfoWars got banned practically simultaneously across several social media platforms. While I've never been too much of a fan of them myself, especially with how nutty Alex Jones is, this is something I don't condone for the reasons these companies have stated. The following companies who have banned InfoWars include: iTunes Spotify Facebook … Continue reading If It’s Cyber-War They Want, It’s Cyber-War They’ll Get!
SJWs attackers proving the point of Death of a Nation, and a note on BitChute

Migrating from Facebook (plus a pre-2016-election debate)
For about a year now, I've been looking for an excuse to get out of Facebook; delete my account.

I was willing to put up with a lot of the shitty movies on your network for the sake of … Continue reading Why I’m cancelling Netflix because of Bill Nye
