YouTube announced last week that it will be updating its policies to deal with content about eating disorders. They promised to take a nuanced approach, acknowledging that “a video about a creator’s eating disorder recovery journey can help” others.

The Nimrodian World Empire didn’t just get started with the Bilderbergers and the bankers and the robber-barons-cum-silicon-gurus. The battle against Christianity is as old as Babel and more ancient still. The only difference is that today we are afraid there might be demon involvement behind the great pagan empires (like the United States), whereas the Christians before… Read More How Honest Should I Be?
Some weeks, Elon Musk almost needs his own sidebar. His “loose cannon” approach to things has seen him fill headlines for the last couple of weeks.

New St Andrews College, a Reformed school in Moscow, Idaho, has done a bang-up job summarising our moment. If you haven’t watched their viral video/advertisement, taking a minute or two away from the awfulness of the hour to watch it will no doubt lift your spirit. Their basic message?
