    All About Threats

    I read that scientists, by using magnets, had 'turned off' the threat centres in people's brains, and that this made them 'change their attitudes towards immigrants.' Obviously, the stunning revelation that people don't like immigrants because they feel threatened by them is one that will echo down the ages as a revelation made possible only by scientific brilliance, but given that such

    A Blog Post But as Soon as I Start Getting Grumpy I Stop Typing

    One thing I've noticed a lot of around YouTube recently is videos with 'X but Y' titles. You know, things like 'Dragon Ball Z but every time we see people screaming at each other in a desert the video speeds up', or 'Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart but it's a Pokemon boss-battle theme'. With this in mind, is there any chance of seeing 'Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones but every time Hayden

    An American Fail?

    Apparently the British satirical magazine Private Eye is now listed on numerous 'fake news' sites for having covers like this:

    This, coupled with the existence of the show Friends, leads me to the conclusion that comedy is a largely unpractised art in the USA.

    DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

    I've seen the phrase "Don't read it if you don't like it!" written on quite a lot of fanfictions lately. Granted, I've been seeking out the truly awful ones (sorting the chaff from the wheat, as it were) for my personal collection, so that might explain why I've seen so much of it. Read on for my thoughts.

    50(ish) Followers!

    As I've reached 50 followers, here's a thank you video. Well, slideshow with me talking over the top. Don't quibble, Horatio. A lot of this seems to be because Somepony Tries to Sell Twilight Insurance has just been posted on FIMFiction as part of the Royal Canterlot Library collection. I am, understandably, chuffed to bits.

The Day Today · 4:12pm Jan 7th, 2016

This is the news!
On The Day Today tonight:
"My goodness, that girl can sing," says Discord's doctor;

Celestia in stare-out with new 'cake-based' villian;

And theme-park opening ends in tragedy as falling stallion crushes roundabout.

Those are the headlines - now set phasors to news!

The Day Today: approaching Equestria's events with a broad scope and well thought-out plan.

Reports have just come in suggesting that Appleloosa may be about to disappear. Scientists have long been concerned about rumours that the charming desert town may be shrinking, but only recently has the size of the full scale of the magnitude of the situation been recognised. It seems that repeated rainstorms in the area have caused the town to shrink due to communal errosion, and, says Professor Decisions McCarthy, who has just returned from touring Saddle Arabia with his new chalk-balancing act, Appleloosa may soon disappear altogether. He told us:

The town, which is Equestria's chief exporter of string, is expected to be gone by next Wednesday. Inhabitants have been seen sacrificing precious time in an attempt to get the town museum's rarest artifacts, a collection of ancient hoof-made haybales, to safety, by determinedly pushing them across yards of soil and sand to the nearest grass sanctury.

When asked to comment, Princess Luna replied "Where? Oh, that place. Well, it's just half a dozen houses in the middle of some sand."

Stay tuned for more news updates, as they happen!
