Secular Sunday – None of This Really Matters, None of It’s For Us, and We Don’t Know Why

A bit of a different take on my usual Secular Sunday posts poking fun at religion…a very serious, deep reply to a Reddit question about “What are some dark realities people are in denial about?”

Some Recent Covid Tweets

One of the biggest stumbling blocks to overcoming Covid is people who act like Covid is already over… When COVID started I thought the best thing to do was to learn all I could about what it was and how to avoid it. I thought that the people I cared about would want this information […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – EPL vs. CPL (Aug 2019, Feb 2022)

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting both the newly built Calgary Public Library Central Branch (in 2019) and newly-refurbished Edmonton Public Library (in 2022). And you know what? Newly built or refurbished, both are incredible libraries in their own ways with the main thing they have in common is both cities embracing the value of […]

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?)

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”… https://www.twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/1567987415704379393 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 […]

Friday Fun Link – 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony

With so much focus on the UK and the meaning of the Queen’s death, I’m reminded of the amazing opening ceremony from the 2012 Olympics in London which captured so many unique aspects of British life and culture (while also being a real thumb to the nose to the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony!)

Secular Sunday – The Longer Lasting Harm of 9/11?

9/11 was caused by religious extremism but an ever-longer lasting harm of this attack is the culture of conspiracy theories that sprang up around the attacks which continues to affect our society in ways ranging from vaccine hesitancy to lack of faith in government to the idea that mass shootings are actually false-flag operations are […]
