The New World Order by H.G. Wells
Whilst the author makes some correct (enough) criticisms of the world, the text is ultimately more self-indulgent, vague materialist-socialist/communist drivel like his other works.

Corporate Employee Suggests More KPIs
Sydney, Australia – A corporate minion was given a reprimand for “not being a team player”. Last week, John Lee was told that he had failed to meet one of his key performance indicators (KPIs). He contested that decision because his position is a core function of the company. “I only get to do the work that comes to me,” said Lee. “You can’t do the work if people don’t give you work. It’s not like the support departments where you can just keep shuffling paper as long as the

Dushpaggery takes the innovative approach by constantly releasing company newsletters about women in the office and how much he wants them to be executives. “Well, maybe not while I’m the CEO but you kn

Woman Who Keeps Her Head Bowed is Praised as Ideal Churchgoer
Melbourne, Australia – A middle-aged Asian woman at St Eutychus Lutheran Church has been hailed as the ideal churchgoer. Earlier in the year, the congregation excommunited a young man for sleeping through sermons. This Asian auntie, however, attends every Sunday and is seen with her head bowed throughout the entire service. Unlike the young man, it is clear she is not asleep. “She is an example of piety, she seems to be meditating on my one-hour sermons,” said the pastor. “If

K-drama Review: The East Palace
Intriguing enough premise but the plotting is a little clumsy. But still, solid performances and excellent production. In any case, it’s short so it is over quickly.

On Church Authority – Part I
This article aims to defend ecclesiastical (church) authority. This is not an apology for whoever is currently at Rome as that is another topic in itself, but rather for authority conceptually, including the papacy. As usual, the matter is not that complicated. It is made complicated by over-simplifications and ambiguity, deliberately or otherwise. This is a three-part series, moving from the general to the specific. Part I is a brief overview of authority in the Old Testamen
