Is This Chuck Norris’s Grandfather?

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. In which case, there are some individuals who are surely titans among us. Yamaguchi Tsutomu was visiting Hiroshima on business when the city was hit by the atomic bomb. Wounded, he nonetheless returned home and went back to work three

Not Everyone Is Copping a Haircut

Celebrities relaxing in their hot tubs in their multi-million-dollar mansions. Publicly-funded journalists at the national broadcaster. Politicians with eye-watering allowances.

Ardern’s ‘Chariddy of Silence’…

It’s my own fault. Believing it was, surely, not possible to say anything more arrogant than her performance on March 19th when she declared herself and her administration “your single source of truth”, I hadn’t taken the opportunity to recalibrate my supersiliometer which carefully measures the contemptuous arrogance
