Get learnt.

To someone who was trying to argue his anti-vax stance with their reading scientific articles, I replied: “You don’t read a scientific article like you read a newspaper. The average person has no idea how to read a scientific article.Unless you are trained, it will not teach you anything.It’s a minefield of scientific metalanguage and

Marketing vs Soliciting

If a company uses a picture of a woman striking a sexy pose or wearing revealing attire, it’s “marketing strategy”. If a woman uses a picture of herself striking a sexy pose or wearing revealing attire, she’s a whore. Go figure. Actually, don’t. It’s right there: patriarchy.

Tell us what you think…

I get an email, followed by at least three reminder emails, asking me to review every single purchase I make on line. No! I mean, imagine if we had to give a review for every single item we buy in the shops. Cashier: That’s an apple. Me: Indeed. Cashier: What did you think about our

A tale of two invasions

The speed at which the Talibans are regaining control of Afghanistan “beggars belief” considering the US has been there, “bringing democracy” for 15 years. The US and UK alike are still stuck in an immediate post WWII world and their policy is dictated by what they supposedly achieved: They built enduring democracies in Japan and

Gay bars: None of that! All the straight men I know want to go to gay bars.

Ever lasting

The longest relationship you’ll ever have in your life is with your siblings.

Democracy begins and ends with you.

Why should political parties listen to people who refuse to vote in the first place? This is an exercise in futility. Democratic governments are made to listen to what voters say, if you choose to not speak, it’s your loss. Stop expecting strangers to behave as selflessly as your parents.

COVID-19: Save yourself first.

“Things are different for me because I’m gay.” That’s what I say to people when they ask about the COVID-19 vaccines and how I see them: a social and economic protection, before anything medical. Queer people, we have been suffering from another pandemic called AIDS. Remember? It’s still here. And if few of us actually

Of masks and stars

“Masks are like yellow stars.” “Vaccines are like yellow stars.” No. Nazi Germany is a society based on conspiracy theories and eugenics.Nazis believed that being a Jew was a disease threatening the purity and survival of their race. They called it a cancer but they had no cure. No cure, because Judaism is not a
