You may notice a particular approach that combines event-driven or objective journalism with academic exposition interspersed with colloquialism wrapped within an aim to be serious while allowing a sardonicism expressed in a smart-assy style to shine through?
I realize that anyone that doesn't know me may have a hard time drawing the line between what's serious and what's satire, knowing when I'm being genuine or tongue in cheek.
In truth, that only matters if your aim is in knowing more about me; if you read enough of what I put out, over time, I think that line will become clear.
My goal is to provide a different point of view, provoke some reflection, doing so mostly through humour.
Rest assured: Deceiving you is in no way a part of DMS&UY's aims.
