Here's a photo manip I did of live-action versions of Drakken and Shego from Kim Possible. Features my dream casting of Jeffrey Donovan and Morena Baccarin.

The Sexual Revolution in a Nutshell:
“Because guns miss more often than not, that means they’re not really weapons, just a way to make pretty noises. Therefore, I have every right to fire guns wherever and however I want and bear no responsibility for the consequences. "Also, you have to pay for my ammunition.”
A Tribute to Walt Disney
In case it's not clear, I'm a great admirer of Mr. Disney's (not going to defend what his company has become, but the man himself is something of a personal hero). Partly to tie into the relaunch of my book, I made this video tribute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4WBA81GXms
The Wisdom of Walt Disney Relaunch!
Today we're announcing the relaunch of my essay collection The Wisdom of Walt Disney: The Themes, Ethics, and Ideas of His Greatest Films. In it I take a closer look at twelve of Uncle Walt's most important films to dig out the morals and ideas woven into the story: essentially, considering the films as examples of … Continue reading The Wisdom of Walt Disney Relaunch!
Occam’s Razor in Action
So, there's a study going around the different popular science sites of the internet to the effect that genetic testing indicates most animal species actually appeared about the same time as humanity: 100 - 200,000 years ago. Apparently, they can tell this by the lack of notable variations in mitochondrial DNA between different species. I'm … Continue reading Occam’s Razor in Action
The Not Mary Sue
I’m rewatching Kim Possible at the moment, after being away from it for several years, and I’m delighted to find it’s even better than I remember it. It’s not quite in the same league as Phineas and Ferb or My Little Pony, but it is a very solid, very entertaining show anchored by two particularly … Continue reading The Not Mary Sue
Privilege in Action
I'm a little late on this, but it's too good not to share. This is a textbook example of why I despise the whole concept of 'privilege' (be it 'white privilege,' 'male privilege,' or what have you). To sum up, the incomparable Larry Correia, sci-fi / fantasy author extraordinaire, had been invited to Origins Game … Continue reading Privilege in Action
Our Particular Challenge
There are some doctrine that are ill-suited for some times. St. Paul wrote the Corinthians that he “gave them milk to drink, not meat, for you were not yet able.” (1 Cor. 3:2). That is, he didn’t try to convey the fullness or complexity of Christian doctrine to them, since he knew they weren’t yet … Continue reading Our Particular Challenge
In Flanders Fields
Fitting words both for the day and in relation to my last post: In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt … Continue reading In Flanders Fields
A Reminder of What We Are Thanking Them For
Today is Memorial Day in the United States, where we honor the memory of the soldiers who gave their lives for our country. In the land that once was England, meanwhile, we are given an object lesson in what they laid down their lives to defend us from. Activist Tommy Robinson, who is known to … Continue reading A Reminder of What We Are Thanking Them For
