A British Gentleman


I am a fan of many things, particularly the fine works of Sir Terry Pratchett (may he rest in peace). After spending a long time lurking, I have elected to create an account.

    Too Funny Not to Share

    Good evening, my fine ladies and gentlemen. I may be a touch late with this, but I feel it's too good to pass up on. Behold, fanfic, as written by predictive text:

    [Non Pony] Purest Snake Oil

    Good evening, my good ladies and gentlemen. I hope to find you alive, well and, preferably, tipsy.

    A video recently dropped on YouTube, concerning the vexing topic of Anti-Vaxxers. Some of it, however, featured a firm called Coseva. A seller of outrageously overpriced snake oil, it's claims about its products are mindbogglingly stupid and wrong.

    I Really Hope That This Guy is a Troll

    Good morning, my good ladies and gentlemen, and a Merry Christmas to all.

    I'm hoping that the guy I'm about to show you is a troll, but, having looked at his posting history, there's a very real chance he's the real deal. If so, I present to you the least self-aware arsehole on the internet. As you read that statement, consider the state of the competition...

    [Non-Pony] CERN Controversy: An Impartial Scientist's Perspective

    Greetings my good ladies and gentlemen. I hope to find you well.

    For the benefit of anyone who hasn't been following the news on the matter, an Italian physics professor, Alessandro Strumia, was invited to participate in a workshop on gender in physics by Cern, with an audience largely composed of young, early career (Ph.D students and Postdocs) female physicists.

Signal Boost: Be Careful at Conventions [Read; Important] · 1:42pm Dec 31st, 2017

This isn't quite the blog I wanted to end the year with, but it is rather important. Horizon recently posted an important blog, detailing an incident he/she is aware of that occurred at Bronycon. Specifically, sexual assaults involving the use of date-rape drugs.

The blog in question is here.

It is not often that I ask anything of my followers, but I shall do so now: please, read and signal boost horizon's blog. This is particularly important for those amongst you whose own follower count far exceeds mine.

This sort of thing is extremely dangerous; it is no exaggeration to say that people could be killed.

I ask you again: please read and boost. Tell your followers to do the same. Collectively, we can reach a great many people, and if even one of them is made safer as a result, then this was a worthwhile exercise. I thank Orbiting Kettle for drawing my attention to this.

Have a lovely new year, my good ladies and gentlemen.
