Scotland has had an election which has seen a plurality to the SNP. The Socialists in the upcoming French Presidential elections have received a late boost with the leader of the far-right, Le Pen, calling for a "mass absention" and the centrist François Bayrou declaring he will not vote for the right-wing candidate, Sarkozy. Australia however retains the title of the nation with perhaps the most idiotic politicians in the OECD with Bill Heffernan declaring that Deputy Labor Leader, Julia Gillard is unfit for public office because she is "deliberately barren".

In the parallel reality in RPG.net they've had a Superheroes week; not my favourite genre but any stretch of the imagination, but nevertheless did reviews for the first Superhero RPG, Superhero 2044 (with the lowest possible rating) and DC Heroes. In a comparison of tough fantasy scenarios, have also recently reviewed AD&D's Tomb of Horrors and RQ's Snake Pipe Hollow. I would love to expand the latter into a larger setting, but the way licensing has been set up RQ3e/Glorantha is sadly as dead as the dodo.

Interrupting my normal life, has been a rather significant debate on [livejournal.com profile] philosophy, where I was challenged with the new community rule kumite over Kant, causation and space-time. This has led to a follow-up post on causation in science and I have just posted on discourse ethics and 'kumite' and rephrased the questions concerning Kant, space-time and mathematics.

On May Day attended Keating! The Musical with [livejournal.com profile] tabouli, [livejournal.com profile] ananas2003 and [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya. Quite good, great musical parodies although some of the humour was a bit amatuer. The setting, the Comedy Theatre, is full of old-world charm. In rodent news; Vagabond has declined significantly over the past few weeks, apparently suffering from what I suspect is osteoarthritis. He's ridiculously happy with all the extra affection he's getting, but his movements are slow and of very modest distances. He turned on the charm for [livejournal.com profile] ser_pounce and [livejournal.com profile] hathhalla who visited on Friday night for an eve of fine Indian food and the delights of Munchkin Cthulhu.

As an added bonus, the author slash something of Keating is a denizen of alt.religion.kibology.

I, alas, never did see it or him when I was in Melbourn.e

Now that's very interesting indeed... That's far in the fringes of USENET...

I may ask for your advice at some stage on the Kant debate.. You'll probably know some of this maths/physics stuff better than I do...

Ha! a.r.k is where I first met TimC!

I never made it to Keating! either. Bad fan-girl.
