Long time between recordings, but here we are in 2024. This episode I focus and reminisce on some bands that I used to like.

Merry Everything, ladies and gentlemen.

When I was in Japan for work, I visited the Peace Museum in Hiroshima. It’s purpose is to show the human cost of war. Wars are fought between governments and principalities. Who suffers the most, but the innocent civilians caught in the middle. Much like it is the Israeli and Palestinian civilians who are likely to suffer the greatest losses in the current conflict. By the way, all you Ukrainian flag flying social media folk better get the Israeli flag up in your bio’s, lest you be hypocritical…

Big W, popular department store in Australia, has decided that a book encouraging children to participate in sex, written by Yumi Stynes and Dr Melissa Kang, should be on their shelves. I will never understand why these people think that children ought to be taught explicit sexual content, tips, and techniques.

One of the more strange weeks in Pride Month 2023.

A teacher in New Zealand was deregistered for refusing to use the so-called 'preferred pronouns' of a student.

Children as young as 12 are able to change their gender on their birth certificate without any treatment whatsoever.

And apparently penguins are gay, and they're great role models for teaching children as young as 6 about sexuality.

What a week.

Pride month part 3. Jetstar can't make a plane depart or land on time, but in good news they have eliminated gender from their uniforms. A Christian doctor in the UK is sacked for refusing to play pronoun games in a simulated training exercise, and Christianity remains one of the only religions not protected by anti-discrimination laws.

Pride month part 2. Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass' apology to the 'Pride' community reminded me of Israel Folau and his staunch public adherence to his Christian faith. Bass apologised for his beliefs, and is now undergoing re-education. Sad, really. His apology is a sign of weakness, not of virtue.

Pride month is almost upon us. Are you ready to be bombarded by rainbows? Or are you, as a Christian, willing to stand and reclaim the rainbow as a symbol of God's covenant to never again flood the earth?
