- Moderate by Rochdale standards 11th February 2024Three days ago the Muslim media outlet 5Pillars expressed doubts about the Labour candidate for the forthcoming by-election in Rochdale: “The troubling backstory of Labour Rochdale candidate Azhar Ali” What was it about Mr Ali that troubled them? The fact that he advised the government on counter-terrorism during the premiership of the hated Tony Blair. […]Natalie Solent (Essex)
- “My third leg can be flexible and unbending” 10th February 2024This catchy Chinese-language song “People of the Dragon” by Malaysian filmmaker and recording artist Namewee has had 7.5 million views since it was posted two weeks ago.

- Systems indoctrinate, deprecate questioning and doubt, produce reactive citizens, and blame them(An extension of a few points I mentioned in this video concerning education.) So-called educational systems teach young students what to believe, how to behave, and perhaps skills deemed necessary—not to question. (To a considerable degree, teaching what to believe … Continue reading →Wisdomdancer

- Review: Lawrence in Arabia 10th June 2021Scott Anderson’s Lawrence in Arabia is, quite obviously, about the famous T. E. Lawrence “of” Arabia. The book ranges significantly wider than Lawrence’s personal account, however, shifting between the perspectives of Ottoman officials, German spies, American spies, Zionist spies, and of course British spies.

MRDA’s Crowning Music of Animé #5: ‘Nemurenu Mori no Bijo’ by Saki Takaoka (from Megazone 23 III)
Whatever else the Wachowskis ripped off from the Megazone 23 trilogy, they couldn’t emulate the sheer awesome that is the soundtrack. Here’s a sample: When that violin kicks in, you know what time it is! ~MRDA~
