Hey, remember when The Watchmen TV series showed how deep the Operation Paperclip rabbit hole went, and many people learned about NASA’s origins through popular media, but the storyline about the continuance of the conspiracy was the fictional part?
Yeah…good times, good times…

My Year 13s are currently learning Christian moral ethics and actions with the case study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Despite the years that separate us from Bonhoeffer’s death, some of his theology becomes more prescient every time I teach it.

It is the the sad truth of being an immigrant. You will never be able to go back to where you came from because it’s a place left back in time, and you’ll never be truly seen as belonging in your adopted home.

I hate the look of the new Nolan Odyssey film. If that makes me tedious and boring, so be it. If you want an adaptation that is wildly out-of-step with the period(s), Oh Brother Where Art Thou was brilliant.

Seriously, I survived off of Kraft macaroni and cheese and the odd chicken tender specifically made by my grandmother for years. It’s a miracle I got through early childhood without getting scurvy. Anyways, happy this fella is doing okay now.
