If you’re of a certain age, you’ll almost certainly remember The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams on the telly. I never watched it myself, but, by cultural osmosis, I still know about John Adams and Gentle Ben. What I certainly didn’t know is the real story
Trying to discuss religously motivated violence these days nearly always follows the same tedious script of whataboutism. But what about… Almost always, of course, the whataboutism of choice is something that conveniently bashes Christianity. Whatabout the Crusades? Whatabout the Inquisition? As Malcolm Lambert points out, in Crusade and Jihad, the
Remember the shrieking headlines about “fascism!” when Giorgia Meloni was elected Italian PM? Somehow, though, for all the pearl-clutching by the mainstream media, the blackshirts have conspicuously failed to march on Rome or anything. That isn’t deterring the mainstream media one whit, though. They’re still gibbering about the
If the past two weeks have been the “best yet” for the Yes campaign in the “Indigenous Voice” referendum, then they really are rooted, to use a great Australian vernacular. After all, the past fortnight saw the release of polls showing that even women voters are deserting them in droves.

It will come as no surprise to readers that I am enjoying what I do, and especially so now that I have my own radio show at Reality Check Radio. I enjoy talking about politics with people and I hope that is coming through in my interviews. Over the weekend
Reading old science fiction is an often eye-opening glimpse of long-discarded scientific theories. Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, for instance, refers to the idea that continents grew from atolls. Whole libraries of SF were built on the long-debunked notion of Martian canals. The demise of the
Humans are, let’s face, a species of outrageously horny monkeys. We no sooner get our hands on something than we’re trying to figure out how to insert it into ourselves, or vice-versa. Or some way to use it to get off. Within years of Gutenberg’s printing press,

How long before Australians start booing the tedious, fatuous, insulting, endless “Welcome to Country” nonsense? So far, a great many of us have so far settled for quietly rolling our eyes as we are browbeaten with this fabricated nonsense at weddings, school assemblies, sports matches and even every day plane
Has Hollywood woke-ism killed comedy? Consider a couple of lists of the greatest comedies. While I’m not impressed with any list that rates the frankly boring, one-joke This Is Spinal Tap as the greatest comedy (The Bad News Tour is a much better comedy on the same theme), the
