Swearing Is Actually A Sign of More Intelligence – Not Less – Say Scientists

I am a huge fan of scientific knowledge that help justify my potty mouth!

(And my kids are clearly geniuses as they named their band, “The Shits”!) 😉

Secular Sunday – Waiting For The Rapture (But Not For Too Long I Guess?)

There should be (is there?) a Wikipedia page that lists all of the wrong dates that have been predicted for The Rapture/Second Coming/End of the World.

(I wonder how easily those stickers come off a car?)

Saturday Snap – Trying on Dad’s Glasses

I joke that when I picked out these glasses, I asked “Do you have anything that will make me look like a cross between John Lennon and Harry Potter?”  😉

Music Monday – “God save the queen/’Cause tourists are money/And our figurehead/Is not what she seems” (aka Decorum and The Queen’s Death)

There are lots of interesting angles to the Queen’s death – cultural, historical, sociological, religious, etc. etc. – but one that fascinates me is this notion of “decorum”…

There’s a parallel to gun violence in the States where politicians will quickly say “It’s not the time” to talk about gun violence…right after a mass shooting.

The ceremony and spectacle of the Queen’s death led to a clampdown on any sort of act of civil disobedience or exercise of free speech…

“Decorum” is especially troubling when it is used to protect and even rehabilitate the image of a member of the royal family who has credibly been accused of some incredibly sickening behaviour…

Honestly, the whole idea of “royalty” is out-dated, only serves to reinforce divisions in society, and hide all of the terrible things they do.

I mean, these aren’t divinely appointed rulers, they’re just normal humans…
