Augmented reality alters mind. This is media ecology. Watching a screen puts you into a disembodied state. Your body becomes nothing but a shell and in the same moment you are deprived of its greatest value. To engage the projection, you project your consciousness into a virtual space. In exchange for this heightened mental experience, you… Read More What’s out there
We at Mad Mondays don’t know a lot about the model Chrissy Teigen, but she seems to know how to grab headlines. Teigen and husband John Legend tragically lost their baby son to a second-trimester miscarriage in 2020. But during an interview last week, Teigen said it wasn’t really a miscarriage: “Let’s just call it what it was. It was an abortion.… Read More Word games
Author Matt Walsh as been at it again, doing journalists’ jobs for them. In a tweet thread, he reported that a transgender clinic at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville has been giving cross-sex medications and performing transgender surgeries for young children. While that is gross enough, his thread shows that Vanderbilt executives promoted the gender clinic program as… Read More Feet to the fire
Well, you have it from the mouth of the President of the USA – COVID is still an issue, but the pandemic is over. Phew! Thanks for the heads up.

His ink, including the satanic star, sports an animal’s corpse, a… Read More It’s dark, I know
Two weeks to “stop the spread” really has changed things. One thing that may be changed forever is the workplace. You might remember the Great Resignation, which saw droves of people change jobs, retire early, start businesses or quit outright. The new buzz word is “quiet quitting” – what Gallup calls “disengagement” – in the workplace. People just… Read More Redeeming the time
We at Mad Mondays haven’t reported on the pandemic for a couple of weeks. Life has continued on and, unless you’re online or watching the news, there is little evidence of the past two years. While the slow drip of clarity seems to be corroding a hole in the narrative, there is still a whole lot of obfuscation going… Read More A big lie
The governors of Texas and Florida showed they weren’t kidding around last week. Governor Abbott dropped busloads of illegal immigrants outside the residence of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor de Santis flew 50 people to the wealthy enclave of Martha’s Vineyard. The Twitterverse was equal parts freaking out and smug as the MV community rallied, fed… Read More A quick tour
The death of the Queen of England strikes me as almost meaningless. The ascension of her lame duck son to the throne is a massive “also ran.” The substantially reduced power and potential of the British Empire compared to that which Elizabeth II inherited the better part of a century ago, and the ceding of… Read More On bad princes
It has been observed by a number of pundits recently that the demand for racism seems to be outstripping supply. Due to the mercurial definition of racism, discrimination and bigotry can be found under every rock. Classical music is racist.
