Thomas Aquinas in 50 Pages: A Layman’s Quick Guide to Thomism by Dr Taylor R. Marshall is pretty much what the title states it is. It is a text about the basics of how St Thomas Aquinas thought and what he taught. The text is organized into 12 sections, excluding the introductory note and endnotes (references). The last section before the endnotes is a helpful glossary. The main text is over fifty pages if one includes this but it is still a very short book. It is an excelle

Whilst it is not outright bad, it is simply too conventional, predictable and lacks intrigue. Mackie and, to a lesser extent, Ford carry the film.

Melbourne, Australia – Young Asians, mostly high school and university students from Southeast Asia, have banded together to protest against knife crime perpetrated by those of Middle Eastern descent. “It’s a disgrace,” said Hac Yu, a student in year 11. “There was a time when it was just Asians who carried knives or meat cleavers and actually whipped them out to use them on people. Now it’s all brown people.” Jon Lee, a commerce undergraduate student, agrees: “I remember a t

Starts a bit slow and the villains are too simplistic. Conclusion is too rushed but is overall not a bad thriller-drama with some effective tension.

Brussels, Belgium – The EU on Friday decided not to just take the frozen Russian assets and use them to fund Ukraine’s defense. Instead, it agreed to provide a €90-billion loan. “We were really hoping to just take Russia’s money,” said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “Let’s be honest, we’d already spent most of it on coke, washing machines, male strippers and coke. We needed to legitimize that theft and spending.” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen had earlier v

To the Zelensky administration and their fans who accuse Russia of committing genocide, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is not biting. In Ukraine vs Russian Federation “Allegations of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide”, Russia has denied the accusations and made counter-claims. Regardless of whatever Russia has done or not done, anyone who has been half-following the party knows the stunts Ukraine has pulled sin

Pope Leo XIII (b. 2 March 1810 – d. 20 July 1903), born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, began his pontificate on 20 February 1878. His papacy is the fourth longest in the history of the Church. He is known for having composed the Prayer to Archangel St Michael and for the encyclical “ Humanum Genus ” on freemasonry published on 20 April 1884. The encyclical “ Rerum Novarum ” was published on 15 May 1891. It is subtitled “On Capital and Labor” or “On the Condition of

Defenseless country with strict gun laws to have stricter gun laws so that it can be more defenseless.

London, UK – In the aftermath of Miss Finland 2024 Sarah Dzafce being stripped of her title for making the Asian “slant eyes” gesture, a new beauty pageant has been proposed. The new competition will showcase how good looking the contestants are when doing slant eyes. “I think it’s important that we uphold the principle of universal tolerance and respect,” said Beth Horship, spokesperson for Miss World Slant Eyes, “and this contest is the perfect platform to celebrate freedom

Endor (GNS) – Rebel Leader Mon Mothma has confirmed that the recent follow-up strike on the Death Star was “perfectly appropriate” after receiving a briefing and viewing the classified video of the operation. Imperial senators have been questioning the legality of the strikes and demanding the video be declassified and released. Over a million imperial personnel died after the first strike on the massive battle station. When the Empire built a second Death Star around the moo

Los Angeles, CA – Matt Gutman, who as an ABC News correspondent, copped much criticism for calling Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin’s messages “very touching” is set to join CBS. “It is a very touching move, we’re excited to have Matt join us,” said recently appointed CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. “We know he’ll continue with his high-quality homoerotic reporting, and attract the kind of audience who love to hear that kind of stuff.” Gutman seems equally aroused as the

Not bad sci-fi dystopian film based on the novel. The pacing suffers in the final act but it is an interesting premise. Looks good, nice set designs.

Low-budget indie film notwithstanding, the film is decently produced. The satirical ideas are there but not enough laughs.

A Chinese paper by C. Wei et al titled “ Research Progress of Nattokinase in Reducing Blood Lipid ” posted on 24 May 2025 reviews research regarding the positive effects natto has on issues associated with cardiovascular disease. By the way, natto can degrade spike proteins as well. The paper is about 18 pages, with the main text at about 15 pages. The remaining are references. Unlike many papers, the authors actually try to explain some background regarding natto includi

Not bad even though it can be much better. Can look darker and grittier. Admittedly not the easiest short story to adapt, but at least the screenplay is written by the original author.

Camden, NJ – In the wake of the explosive recording of Campbell’s Company executive Martin Bally making derogatory comments about fake meat and minorities, the company has decided to release a new canned soup. Campbell’s has fired Bally but understands that the “public deserves better from our iconic brand”. The company is scheduled to release “Non-Racist Co-Exist Mystery Soup” which, according to the barely legible label, contains 65% cultured pork with the other 55% being c

Nashville, TN – An elementary school student is severely disappointed that he has been forbidden from rioting after finding out that French President Emmanuel Macron had allegedly put a hit on Candace Owens. “I don’t get it,” said George, 10, of Cabalsville Elementary School, “I would’ve thought that nowadays a white man trying to kill a black woman is like the near-perfect excuse to peacefully trash the place.” However, George is willing to consider an alternative view: “I g

Melbourne, Australia – A young woman has failed at the church band tryouts despite being technically awesome. “She’s got great voice control,” said Sheryl, one of the band leaders even though she herself can’t sing that well. According to Jason, another band leader, this female vocalist doesn’t lift her arms high enough either but that is an issue which can be fixed with “a little practice”. “She’s got good mic technique, which none of our current singers seem to manage and i

A study by M. Günther et al titled “ A calibration of nucleic acid (PCR) by antibody (IgG) tests in Germany: the course of SARS-CoV-2 infections estimated ” published on 13 October 2025 has worked out figures that confirm the PCR tests used during the plandemic weren’t very accurate. The paper is about 10 pages, with the main text at about 8 pages. The remaining are references. The study takes weekly data of PCR tests and IgG tests during the period March 2020 to 2021 in Germ

The US Department of War has issued a statement reassuring all Americans—North, Central and South—that the recently issued NOTAMS near Venezuela are part of the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. “The NOTAMS are for all the fat turkeys that we intend to send to Venezuela,” said spokesman Vincent Bomdashiottau from the War Department, “because we love President Maduro and the cartels and we want our turkeys to get to them safely.” The effort is in recognition of

Entertaining series. Some visual elements are a bit jarring but generally well-produced. It is funny, but can be funnier. Tries a little too hard to be edgy. Grounded by the friendship between the two lead characters.
