Sometimes I just need to rant. Be afraid, you are my captive audience.
Twenty-five years ago, a report written by a now-discredited academic and former physician was published, and we are still paying the price for his fraudulent claims.

When people decide to rehome pets because they don’t suit their lifestyle, I’m inclined to take the view that they are absolute assholes. So it’s an extreme level of assholery for someone to try that with a kid. Yes, a child. One of those ridiculous “online influencers” adopted herself a child from China, but after

Spotify’s favourite cockwomble strikes again, this time having a crack at the haka specifically, but Māori culture in general. Joe Rogan (ex-TV host, professional conspiracy theorist, Covid denier and all-round irrelevant twat) took it upon himself to slam the New Zealand basketball team for performing a haka before a game. Apparently he thinks the haka is
