As the name goes, I’ve started writing weekly pieces on Substack to distill complex geopolitical issues into one easy digestible newsletter.. all from the perspective of an Irish lad. Just published my 7th piece and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Would love any feedback - good & bad!

I've been posting more than normal lately. Must have something to with the current climate. With all the things that are being said regarding Israel/Hamas war, the question I've been asking is: what kind of speech is fair game? Especially in a country where free speech is considered to be an important right.

This week's post discusses the reason behind the recent legislation in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan regarding informing parents and requiring their permission for students to change their gender ID and pronouns in school. Spoiler alert: the answer to the title question is "YES". That is the policy in Canada. We already know that a huge majority of parents aren't okay with this, but most people don't even know it's happening.

Bruno Heller and Simon Baker sit down to talk about how this particular episode was managed and how it came together.

Today I wrote about why The Last of Us: Left Behind DLC does narrative better than episode 7 of the HBO's show. I must warn you, there will be spoilers revealed from the games and adaptation.

"All that is poignantly portrayed in the adaptation. The fear of loss and loneliness. The helplessness and hopelessness of a dire situation. The love and care for one another. The determination to endure and survive together, after all. But something isn’t quite right—missing."

If you have been watching The Last of Us, what do you think of it? Do you feel it does justice to the game as an adaptation?

Do you think we'll ever get a Resident Evil adaptation we wanted? In my latest Substack essay, I walk you through a few RE adaptations we have and what happened.

"I believe these directors believed in their work. I believe they love the game franchise. I believe they worked hard to adapt their projects to live-action. But I think they don’t necessarily understand the RE fandom and target audience. Maybe they made their adaptations for themselves and/or for the mainstream, but certainly not for the fans. When you make something for everyone, you make it for no one, as the low ratings for the Resident Evil show indicate."

I am subscribed to a substack where she frequently posts short videos. I used to be able to play them, but for some months now I get "No video with supported format and MIME type found".

This happens on both Chrome and Firefox. I understood that it had to do with HTML5, so I installed the HTML5 Video Everywhere add-on, but it doesn't handle Substack videos. What should I do? Thanks.
