he thing you want to do to women is put them in cages (even your own wife!)
You insist women are not women and then argue about nature, replacing science with ideology
You naturally come to realise women keep a distance from you (they probably explain to one another why)
You cheat on women casually
You assume what’s theirs is actually men’s (like you)
You antagonise women except those who flatter you

HIS year I heard the term “emotional vulture” many times and wrongly assumed it might be similar to “crocodile tears” (a fake emotion(al) crocodile that cries for the people or animals it devours). As it turns out, emotional vulture is one who preys on the emotionally vulnerable – i.e. it is something different altogether. It’s said to refer to a manipulative dating trend that targets people going through a breakup (or similar ordeal). I remember a Norwegian girl showing interest in me when her Danish boyfriend was not treating her well; I wasn’t preying on her, it felt like she was using me to try to get him (the boyfriend) jealous or not to take her for granted.

Anyway, today I saw a Crocodile or Rhino shedding off tears. It was some angry lawyer who operates under the false impression that while labouring as a hired gun with death threats, threats to decapitate sites, and threats to put a family in prison he is somehow a poor victim. Are these people as drunk as their clients?

Seriously, how can such pathetic and aggressive people seriously portray themselves as the victims? Someone who explains their behaviour is doing a public service, nothing else.

he insensitive behaviour of Brett Wilson LLP last year [1, 2, 3] was a self-inflicted wound, as it was not the first time, far from it, but this time it was more blatant and likely intentional (they like to attack people during holidays, they effectively weaponise religion). In this particular case it was a mistake as they know that in this sector being seen as antisemitic is career suicide and, to make matters worse, their biggest client is alleged to be profoundly antisemitic. Freedom fighters don’t massacre dogs and civilians.

2026-08-10 How to staycation better

T is not the first time I stay in Town during summer. We’ll travel around for a bit, but not go far as there’s no point. Staycations are good for people who like being where they are, vacations away (or abroad) tend to be for people who escape the job, the home, the routine, the culture, and maybe the local weather.

Thankfully for Rianne’s birthday the weather will be almost perfect. Sunny, not too hot, and exactly one week before Bank Holiday.

have learned, over time, after 20+ years of investigative journalism that when people risk their lives (or livelihood) to bring out an important story or critical information you must all along be willing to sacrifice your own life (or livelihood) to protect: 1) the source/s and 2) the information the source/s risked a lot to bring out to light.

In just over two months from now Techrights turns 20 and I believe I kept my committent and stuck to my principles as explained above. It’s not always the easiest thing to do. It is, however, the moral thing to do and the right choice.

Society must look up to people like him, not greedy people who hoard money and power, not “pay it forward” to those in dire need (of a voice, not necessarily money)

‘ve long respected Paul Robeson (for decades already) not just for his excellent, strong voice and learning of new languages, which he then used to communicate internationally (this reminded me of RMS). In the face of controversy and risk (the US tried to ostracise and sanction him) he persisted in his activism, using his good name and reputation to do something risky without monetary gain/rewards.

A recently-deceased French model did the same for animals. She died as controversial because she opposed the same “Establishment” that had helped her rise to fame.

Don’t rise to power. Fight unjust power.

oday I spoke with my in-laws (in their native tongue; I speak over 3 languages already, some better than others) and as elderly people, one of whom turns 80 in less than a year, one who never experienced old age is reminded about the hardships of old age (my own parents are younger, they are both 70).

When you are under 40, you might count how many years it has been since becoming adult or studying or working or marrying. At some point later in life the count refers to “time to live” or “time until retirement”, i.e. the numbers become smaller each year. After retirement it’s almost always just “time to live” (depending on one’s physical health).

More religious people think in terms like “afterlife” or “time to Heaven”, but superstition is not a harmless, victimless fantasy. Some people exploit this fantasy to work people to death, to make themselves richer. Some offer them alcohol (to sedate them) – that damages their body and kills them sooner.
