Lluniau o frodorion America, llyfr gan Brifysgol Pennsylvania, gyda traethodau gan Gerald Vizenor ac eraill: [Quanah] Parker was Comanche, a wise crossblood leader at the turn of the last century who defended the use of peyote as a religious freedom. The narratives of his religious inspiration, his crossblood uncertainties, are not obvious in either of [...]
Erthygl arall, gan yr un awdur yn yr un cylchgrawn: The success of British imperialism could never be accounted for by military force alone. It needed accompanying myths of cultural accomplishment, uplift and efficiency. For a worldwide set of elites, English served as an entrance to that cultural mythography, as it continues to do today.

Hen erthygl (o 1996) sy’n cnoi’r cil am ddefnydd ieithoedd bychain ar y we. Llawer o edefion diddorol i’w dilyn: The anglophone world favors understanding English rejection as a measure of technological backwardness, as national socioeconomic suicide in the face of anglophone-based international market competition. The degree of English-speaking in a non-anglophone country’s population serves [...]
Aladair Gray
Dych chi wedi darllen Alasdair Gray? Alasdair Gray’s was a voice that offered me something freeing. It wasn’t distant or assumptive.

There is more at stake in Northern Ireland than “identity.” If it were only about identity, the conflict really would be insoluble, for if [...]

Peiriant ffrwythau’r Beatles
Peiriant ffrwythau’r Beatles, caethiwus dros ben. Casglais i 143 o gredydau cyn i mi ennill y jacpot. Fyddet ti ddim mor dwp, na fyddet?
Jo’Burg Hawk
Ces i fargen yn car bwt Abertawe y bore ’ma: record gan Jo’Burg Hawk.
Oriel Applets
Oriel Applets. Dw i ddim yn deall y mathemateg tu ôl iddyn nhw, ond mae’n hwyl i’w gwylio. Dw i’n credu taw hwn yw fy hoff un. Mae’r caleidosgop yn neis, hefyd. A’r prismau.
