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.

A Thought... · 1:02am Jan 10th, 2016

It occurs to me that the people who claim that 'everyone is beautiful' are the same people who go around telling each other that they're beautiful. Now, correct me if I'm wrong,* but surely this renders the compliment meaningless. It is roughly equivalent to saying "You're just like everyone else." I shan't pretend I've met everyone else, but I've met some of them, and, frankly, the less like them I am, the better. Based on this logic, the next one to tell me I'm beautiful gets a punch up the bracket. Now I'm off to pass a legislation to that effect. Tschüsköfski!

*Don't you dare.

That's actually pretty true, now that I think about it like that.

Thanks, but don't start taking the grumpy nonsense I write seriously. I'll only do more, and then where would we be?
