Did you notice that torpedoes are the only pedos that the Trump administration are willing to fire...

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.

While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.

Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.

I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

Ever wondered what it’s really like to be deaf?

Meet the chaos, the comedy, and the jaw-dropping ignorance I deal with daily.

Comedy at the expense of my hearing disability, because if I don’t laugh, I’ll scream (and I won’t hear that either).

X hates it when you call for the castration of child rapists.

I wonder why that is?

I bought We Bury The Dead on Amazon Prime and was shocked to find no subtitles.

As a deaf person, subtitles aren’t optional β€” they’re essential. In 2026, how is a mainstream film released on a major platform without basic accessibility?

Inclusion shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Hugo returns to the coastal village, a place of childhood safety, love, and long-forgotten peace.

Hugo has slipped through time, pulled back to fragments of his childhood, between the early eighties and early nineties.

Can he change what was lost?

β€œEver wondered what it’s like to be deaf?
It’s chaos, unintentional comedy, and weapon-grade ignorance.
I laugh at my hearing loss because screaming wouldn’t educate anyone.”
