    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.

I'm at University. Yay. · 1:24pm Oct 5th, 2016

Now that I've been spat out, a chewed-up relic of my former self, by the 12-year brainwashing process that is the British educational system, it's time for me to move my counter to the next square on the board of the Game of Life? And where does the dice-throw take me? Not Cambridge, but never mind. I'm at a different, but still quite good, university.

For all my griping, I've done well for myself. I've got my own little room with a large-ish bed and a private shower and loo, and I only have to share my kitchen with two others. Sorted. I also have decent wi-fi (at long last), so I can log on to FIMFiction every single day. If I want to. I haven't as much free time as I'd like (18 hours of lectures, problem classes and tutorials every week), but I can at last get on with writing. This is, of course, a relief to no one but me, but all the same, I'm in a much better mood. And in case anyone's interested, I'm doing maths.
