Update June 2023

The purpose of these updates is to place all articles/whatever for the month. Also means I don’t have to repeat myself. Got some good positive feedback for one of these op-eds, nice to get some responses for a change.

A few reminders:

  1. This blog is for interested people and there will never be any spoon-feeding.
  2. I write books, do graphics and music. There are plenty of links. I do not do overproduction on the blog.
  3. If you don’t know the subjects, WTF are you doing here? I’m not here to entertain bots.
  4. The whole point of Op-Eds is to get a perspective, not to agree with anyone else.
  5. Op-Ed subjects are generally commentary and extrapolations of things like scientific options.
  6. When I can be bothered, I enjoy critiques of media coverage because most of the coverage is utter crap.
