“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning with Captain Kirk

by | Mar 22, 2021 | Mondays | 7 comments

Monday… oof. I’m not a big fan of antidepressants – actually, I think they might just be Satanically evil – but I can sort of understand why some people pop them like Pez candies on days like this.

Honestly, last week was very rough – nothing bad happened, I just had a HELL of a lot of work to do in a very short time, which is why the number and quality of posts kind of took a swan dive off a cliff. This week should be a bit better as things open up.

Even so, it IS Monday, and that DOES suck. Especially for me, because I’ve got to sit through marketing presentations all bloody day long – and give one of my own as well. But that, of course, is why we have the Great Mondaydact Browser Killer – to make it all better.

And we do have some good stuff to get through. This week’s theme is a suggestion from our good friend The Male Brain, who pointed out (quite rightly) that today is William Shatner‘s 90th birthday. That’s right – the one, the only, the often-imitated but never-replaced, CAPTAIN KIRK himself, turns 90 today. I’ll let Dawn Pine take over from here:

The guy did a few things in his life – Actor, director, author, singer. Let’s also not forget his planet size ego.

William Shatner is best known for his distinctive voice and his roles on ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Boston Legal.’

Born on March 22, 1931, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Shatner started his career as a child performer in radio programs for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. As a student at McGill University, he continued to pursue acting. Shatner spent his summers performing with the Royal Mount Theater Company. He graduated from the university in 1952 and joined the National Repertory Theater of Ottawa. Working with Sir Tyrone Guthrie, Shatner also appeared in productions at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario.

In 1956, Shatner made his Broadway debut in Tamburlaine the Great, which was directed by Guthrie. He also found work in the emerging medium of television, appearing on such shows as the Goodyear Television Playhouse, Studio One, and Playhouse 90. Playing one of the title characters, Shatner made his film debut in 1958’s The Brothers Karamazov with Yul Brynner. That same year, he returned to Broadway for a two-year run in The Secret Life of Suzie Wong. He won the 1959 Theatre World Award for his performance.

The book is one of the “must reads” (as I see it) – even if you are an atheist. I’m not sure about the play. [Agreed, and I’d extend the sentiment to pretty much anything that Dostoevsky wrote – Didact]

He had a lead part in The Intruder (1962) as a racist who fought against school integration. On the small screen, Shatner had his first series, For the People, in 1965. He starred on the short-lived drama as an assistant district attorney in New York City.

Not to mention our favorite appearance in “The Man from UNCLE” with Leonard Nimoy.

The following year, Shatner took on the role that made him famous around the world. As Captain James T. Kirk on Star Trek, he commanded the U.S.S. Enterprise, a starship traveling through space in the twenty-third century. Kirk encountered all sorts of unusual aliens and challenging situations during his journeys. Accompanying him on these adventures was his loyal crew, which included first officer Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and medical officer Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy (DeForest Kelley). The science fiction series created by Gene Roddenberry premiered on September 8, 1966, and lasted for three seasons.

During the run of the show, Shatner also made an unusual career move. He recorded an album, The Transformed Man (1968), which featured spoken word versions of contemporary pop hits. Already known for his dramatic, but earnest delivery of his lines on Star Trek, Shatner recorded renditions of such songs as the Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”

Star Trek became a Saturday morning cartoon that ran during the mid-1970s, and it was resurrected a live action film in 1979. Returning to the role of Kirk, Shatner starred in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The film’s warm reception by film-goers showed how much affection the public had for the old series.

For Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989), Shatner not only returned as Kirk, but made his debut as a feature film director as well.

The Practice creator David E. Kelley created a spin-off series, Boston Legal, featuring Shatner’s character Denny Crane in 2004. Law partner and master litigator Crane acts as a mentor of sorts to Alan Shore (played by James Spader). For his work on the series, Shatner won his second Emmy — this time for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series — in 2005.

The guy was funny as hell, and rumor’s say he actually played himself.

Age 90, the guy still works:

He is the host and executive producer of the HISTORY nonfiction series The UnXplained, which premiered on July 19, 2019. The series tackles subjects that have mystified mankind for centuries, from mysterious structures and cursed ancient cities to extraterrestrial sightings and bizarre rituals.

I saw 2 episodes to decide that it is rubbish, but that’s my opinion.

Dawn also sent over a bunch of great old-school videos and pictures, which we’ll feature throughout today’s post.

KHAAAAAAAAN!!!!!

Classic.

Didact here again. That is why you shouldn’t let Shatner sing. In fact, here’s another “artistic” (read: BAD) take on another classic song:

Still doesn’t change the fact that William Shatner is an effing legend.

Here are some from a movie that I actually kind of like – Miss Congeniality. (Don’t judge me – I keep telling you guys that my taste in movies is garbage. I make up for it by having SUPREMELY EXCELLENT taste in music.)

Honestly, William Shatner and Michael Caine saved that film, between them. Benjamin Bratt and Sandra Bullock work well together, but you really can’t do much better than an epic horndog like Shatner doing his thing.

And Shatner IS an Alpha among Alphas, make no mistake. I distinctly remember seeing a video involving Star Trek: Enterprise star Jolene Blalock years ago. The video no longer exists on teh innarwebz, but she narrated a hilarious incident involving Shatner at a convention in which they were up for a photo op and Shatner (rather inevitably) grabbed her very shapely arse while posing up a storm with a shit-eating grin on his face.

This was back before the days of the PoundMeToo movement, when such things were both funny and normal. And, given what Jolene Blalock looked like, back in the day, can you really blame the guy?

Yep. We’re getting started with the eye-candy EARLY this week.

And, of course, only Shatner could make cooking a TURKEY look like an epic moment:

What a VOICE that man has!

He may have been (and still is) a colossal douchebag. But he is also a living legend.

Plenty more to come, stick around.


His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, continues to hint at a return in 2024:

If he does come back as the Republican frontrunner, that would be great. He is of course the greatest President since Andrew Jackson.

But it really doesn’t matter anymore.

The 2020 election was stolen from him. The Georgia Senate runoff elections were stolen. The midterms in 2022 will be stolen. The eventual election in 2024 – if America even has an electoral system at that point – will be stolen.

There is simply no point in pretending anymore that American democracy actually works. THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY when the will of the people can be usurped at will by an elite class appalled by the rubes and hicks trying to take control of a country that has plainly gone off the rails.

President Trump is indeed the God-Emperor. But he made a COLOSSAL mistake by being a Cincinnatus instead of a Caesar. In fairness to him, I don’t think he could have done anything differently. The military – supposedly the last relatively uncorrupted institution left in the US – has been thoroughly infiltrated and usurped, and the top generals refused to support him.

They betrayed their oaths of office and their duty to the country. They will be remembered for that betrayal. And Donald Trump’s Presidency will go down in history as the final gasp of a once-great and free people trying to reclaim their honour and destiny.


#BasedTucker is based:


Mark Dice is having rather a lot of fun mocking the sheer insanity of cancel culture:

*oink oink oink* HOW DARE YOU!!!

I nearly collapsed a lung from laughing so hard.


Dave from Blue Collar Logic points out the increasingly precarious position of the Chief Goombah of New York:

Anyone who thinks that Cuomo will go down easily is delusional, not least because the people of New York state apparently quite like the guy. This says quite a lot about how hopeless New York is as a state, too.

And Jason explains that Al Bore, the failed divinity school student, actually managed to tell the truth, albeit in the midst of a pack of lies, about what the Daemoncrats actually plan to do:

The fact that Al Gore once attended divinity school – even if it was at a liberal shitheap like Vanderbilt – should not deter others from attempting the same thing. Most non-Christians don’t realise just how hard real divinity degrees are. You have to study Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, which are EXTREMELY hard languages. The first thing you will learn about English when you try to learn Greek is that you don’t understand English – not at the deep grammatical level.


Bill Whittle spent a decent chunk of time analysing perpetually annoying stroppy teenager David Hogg’s attempts to take on Mike Lindell of MyPillow:

If nothing else, that video should make you realise in a very big hurry that Wikipedia is disgustingly biased and completely converged. You might as well stop bothering with it. The site can no longer be considered reliable or useful by almost any meaningful measure, except when looking at the most anodyne and uncontroversial subjects – and, being co-opted by the Left as it has been, even that is not assured.


The Male Brain has plenty more to add for our entertainment this week. We start, as usual, with a hilarious video from JPSears:

ScreenRant takes on one of my favourite movies of all time, 300:

John Stossel, ever the common-sense man (I mean, for a libertoonian), explains why no one with any brains watches the Wokies:

This next video from CineFix is definitely worth watching:

In case you need another reason to hate yoof:

Prager U explains a basic truth – through a rap musician married to a woman who looked like an inflatable doll, at one point, no less:

Just so you understand how improbably this is – here’s a picture of his wife:


I came across this video while perusing across teh JooToobz for metal videos, of all things, and I have to say that I’m surprised that the Big Tech algorithm permitted it to stay up:

The chap talking in that video, Calvin Robinson, is quite a character. And he talks an AWFUL lot of good sense. He’s absolutely right to say that anyone can be racist, and he’s absolutely right to point out that, these days, the worst victims of racist abuse are WHITE PEOPLE.

I will go even further and say very clearly, as I have always said, that WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE LEAST RACIST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. The most racist are Chinese and Jews, followed closely by Indians and Black Africans. You’ve never really seen racism until you’ve experienced it at the hands of Chinese people. Listen to them talk about Blacks and Indians, especially, and you’ll be shocked at what they say.


Paul Ramsey is most amused by way that the Pentaloons have gotten their noses so thoroughly put out of joint by #BasedTucker’s criticisms:

The Drinker watched The Snyder Cut too, and has a more nuanced take on it than our buddy El Razor:


Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and concerns a new approach to dealing with flesh-eating bacteria – just writing that gives me the creeps:

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes diverse human diseases, including life-threatening soft-tissue infections. It is accepted that the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 protects the host by killing GAS. Here, we show that GAS extracellular protease ScpC N-terminally cleaves LL-37 into two fragments of 8 and 29 amino acids, preserving its bactericidal activity. At sub-bactericidal concentrations, the cleavage inhibits LL-37-mediated neutrophil chemotaxis, shortens neutrophil lifespan, and eliminates P2X7 and EGF receptors’ activation. Mutations at the LL-37 cleavage site protect the peptide from ScpC-mediated splitting, maintaining all its functions. The mouse LL-37 ortholog CRAMP is neither cleaved by ScpC nor does it activate P2X7 or EGF receptors. Treating wild-type or CRAMP-null mice with sub-bactericidal concentrations of the non-cleavable LL-37 analogs promotes GAS clearance that is abolished by the administration of either P2X7 or EGF receptor antagonists. We demonstrate that LL-37-mediated activation of host receptors is critical for defense against GAS soft-tissue infections.


Your long read of the week is all about the intriguing life of one of the highest-ranking Soviet Bloc defectors, Ion Mihai, who just passed away recently:

I believe Pacepa first reached out to me in 2010, when I published my Cold War tome, Dupes. Pacepa was cited a number of times, particularly for his disturbing insights into how easily communist officials were able to manipulate gullible progressives in the West. That was a subject that troubled and perplexed Pacepa; it fascinated him but also nagged at him. He had seen it from the Truman years through Vietnam and still into the 21st century.

“They were like putty in our hands,” said Pacepa of the ability of Western liberals to be duped by communists, from the “strong leftist movements [in Western Europe] that we secretly financed” to the vast amounts of disinformation cooked up and spoon-fed to Western liberals who gobbled it up.

Consider Vietnam: “During the Vietnam War,” said Pacepa, “we spread vitriolic stories around the world, pretending that America’s presidents sent Genghis Khan-style barbarian soldiers to Vietnam who raped at random, taped electrical wires to human genitals, cut off limbs, blew up bodies and razed entire villages. Those weren’t facts. They were our tales.” (Recall a young John Kerry’s 1971 Senate testimony.) They were lies. Nonetheless, said Pacepa, millions of Americans “ended up being convinced their own president, not communism, was the enemy.”

According to Pacepa, it was the odious Yuri Andropov, then head of the KGB, who conceived this dezinformatsiya campaign — that is, disinformation campaign — against the United States. The Soviets devoted exorbitant spending to that cause. “Vietnam,” Andropov told Pacepa, had been “our most significant success.”

Pacepa read my book and was very pleased to see that I had focused upon what he judged one of the most significant but underreported and least understood phenomena of our times: the cynical but remarkable power of disinformation.


Linkage is good for you:

And some more from Dawn Pine:


The Neo-Tsar is PISSED at the Fake President – which means SOMEONE IS GONNA DIE NOW:

Biden is a moron for believing that Putin has any interest in what a decrepit old man thinks of him. Putin is a virile, tough, strong, and capable leader – everything that Biden ISN’T.

He also plans to take the Russian Kung Flu vaccine at some point – though, given who Putin is, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could kick the Commiepox’s ass simply by synthesising some of the man’s own blood into some sort of super-serum.

If, God help us all, Russia and the USA ever go to war by conventional means, I expect the USA to be UTTERLY HUMILIATED. The Russians under Putin have a defensively-oriented, high-tech, battle-hardened, slimmed-down, modern, and very capable military machine. The Americans have sacrificed military capabilities for wokeness and diversity. That will not go well for the Damn Yankees.


History lessons of the week:


Your Great Man of the Week is, of course, William Shatner:


Rocket Sloth looks at HALO levels that make absolutely no damn sense:

I totally agree with him about that ridiculous run along the Pillar of Autumn‘s superstructure. It makes NO sense at all, given that the ship itself is supposed to be “only” about 1.17Km long. Bungie did that for dramatic effect, of course, but it was still kind of a weird way to go about things.

However, there is a reference in that video above to something called “the HALO 3 Guardian”. I immediately perked up when I heard that, because apparently it was a real thing:

Now that the serious stuff is out of the way, let’s watch Mint Blitz bork the f**k out of the HALO physics engine:


Wazzocks gonna wazzock:

The number of Easter Eggs in this next clip – and the sheer amount of wazzockery – is just off the charts:


Kitchen Nightmares with the Angry Scot:


Sean Bean answers teh innarwebz’s most searched questions:

He’s a PROPER hard man, he is. And yet he comes across as really gentlemanly and laconic. No wonder he’s such a well-beloved actor.

Don’t believe me? Watch THIS:

That is the ONLY man that I’ve ever seen who can make drinking a cup of tea seem manlier than storming the beaches at Normandy.


Speaking of Sean Bean, here’s one of his best and most famous roles – Richard Sharpe, doing what only Richard Sharpe can do:

Sharpe is such a hard man, even being played by Sean Bean can’t kill him.


Comedy hour with William Shatner, courtesy of The Male Brain:

Remember back when SNL was actually kind of funny?

Yeah. That was a LONG time ago.

The full roast of William Shatner can be found here. Download it and stick a finger in the eye of Comedy Central – the same channel that brings you smug woke comedy by Trevor Noah and others.


Pics, guns, girls, starting with some Shatneriffic memes:

Shatner could easily kick Chris Pine’s ass even today, at 90 years old.

Onward:

I’ll just state this plainly: being a monogamous married heterosexual DOES make you better than everyone who isn’t that. And that’s just the simple truth.

“The wickedly talented Adele Dazeem” definitely isn’t going to like life under the Fake President – and nor is anyone else.

Uhhh… and that is different from regular FEMA how, exactly?

I don’t wonder about how Joe Biden got there at all. I believe it was another Joe – Stalin – who said that it doesn’t matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes.

That is, indeed, quite tragic.

Even the Devil Mouse can do something right, once in a while.

I remember those kids. Most of them were complete weenies. Heck, I used to be one of them. Difference is that I started lifting heavy shit and hitting things with sticks (and fists and feet). Saved my life.

Headlines of the week indicate that Floriduh Woman is SERIOUSLY PISSED about something:

Your “He Deserves an Award” moment of the week:

Your “Compound Interest” moment of the week:

Your “Trump & Dump” moment of the week:

Your “MURICA!!!” moment of the week:

Your “Groundhog Day” moment of the week:

People over 30 or so will understand this one perfectly:

Apparently she and her brontosaurus-sized rear end just broke up with yet another guy.

QUICK! SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE!

This is absolutely true. Southerners and English people CANNOT handle snow. They go all squirrelly over a slight frosting.

Yep. My corporate overlords at Maths, Inc., were extremely pleased with my sales pitch from last week. They’ve given me a raise. I now get paid:

WARNING: this next picture contains more awesomeness than a human brain can reasonably handle.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you when your head explodes:

ALL HAIL ST. REAGAN MAGNUS OF THE RIGHT!!!

Not to lower the tone or anything, but:


Your Dog of the Week is the


Your aminules are adorkable moment of the week

And also your animals are absolute DICKS moment of the week, to balance things out:


Gym beast props go to a Finnish chap named Tuomas Hautala, who hit a 420Kg (!!!!!!!!!) deadlift at 109Kg bodyweight:


Buakaw Beatdown of the Week:

Buakaw is, of course, getting on a bit in age – he’s older than me by a few years, which in muay thai terms makes him a doddering old man. But he’s busy training the next generation of ruthless killers in the Art of (Breaking a Man’s Will and Spirit with) Eight Limbs – and one of the top talents in the Banchamek Gym stable is his protege, Superbon:


Jesus loves knockouts:


Let’s have some good old-fashioned shuffling:


#MoreMetalThanTheSteel


And finally here is your Instathot for the start of the week. She calls herself Angelique – subtle, eh? – and as far as I know, she’s from Germany. That’s the full extent of my knowledge about this young lady. We can speculate that she is in her early 20s and that her lips, at minimum, are plastic. The rest of her seems pretty well put together, though.

Right, lads,now that you’ve had sight of a lovely fanny, stop fannying about and get back to work…

    Shatner is strange. I rolled my eyes while skimming the introduction to today’s post…then the moment I tried to scroll through the embeds of Shatner on twilight zone, Man From Uncle, Trek… I had an involuntary smile and started to watch them. He really is a unique on-screen presence.

    The Final Frontier is the strongest of the Star Trek Films, even more than the KHAAAN one. It carries the hope that Trek brought. So far it is untouched by The Abrams, there is real mercy.

    Good for Ice-T. It is a strange nation when Ice-T and Kanye West have developed to be intellectual elite in pop culture.

      He really is a unique on-screen presence.

      Yes indeed. He’s a very unusual character. Sometimes you think he’s just a colossal ass and severely high on himself – and then you see him in a completely different context, where he is a serious, capable, and committed actor. It’s genuinely a weird combination.

      So far it is untouched by The Abrams, there is real mercy.

      We shall see. Judging by the parlous state of ViacomCBS finances and the complete lack of appetite to risk any more capital on new, disastrous, KurtzmanTrek and Jar-Jar Abrams projects, it looks like many of the older-generation (i.e. GOOD) Trek films will stay untouched for a while yet.

      I personally have never seen Star Trek V. My favourite out of the bunch is probably Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. (Comments about Didact’s APPALLING taste in films to follow, natch.)

      Good for Ice-T. It is a strange nation when Ice-T and Kanye West have developed to be intellectual elite in pop culture.

      Yes indeed. We live in strange times and they only get stranger by the day.

        I have made a grave error and you have helped me discover it. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is absolutely the finest.

        Star Trek V is so bad I blocked it from my memory and replaced it in my mind with The Undiscovered Country.

        I will now go into a hibernation of shame.

          The OUTRAGE!!! For shame, sir! For shaaaaaaame!!!

          In all seriousness, Star Trek VI is a very good movie. I like II and IV a lot as well, but I always found VI to be about the right balance of cheese, sentimentality, and – let’s face it – epic overacting. It’s not often that you find Shatner being out-hammed by anyone in a movie, but Christopher Plummer does a superb job of it.

    I know Jason was trying to pin Al Gore on his father. I must say Al Gore father voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by using filibustering. Well I must agree with that. It is one of the worst laws to come to America and the funny thing was I along with many of my Generation were taught it was a victory for rights in America. When in fact it takes rights to discriminate away from people. It also pushes the courts in places where it does not need to be.

    The person does not get the job well now they can claim it was due to race, sex, religion or other reasons. The business will now have to prove it was not the case instead of you know trying to make money. I would say this is one of the reason we get large multinational corporations in America. Now they can afford the lawyers and the red tape, smaller business get shut down over the legal issues

    I am surprise on Razer not liking Snyder Cut of Justice League. I must say for myself it was very entertaining and fixes many of the problems I had with the Joss Whedon version. I know 4 hours is a long time but it fleshes out both the story and the Charters of Cyborg, Flash and especially the Villain Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf now has motivation to what he is doing and the movie provides a epic conclusion compare to the Joss Whedon version. Also less bad jokes. I would give it a 8 out of 10. I know Snyder movies are not for everyone.

      This is de rigeur among conservatives. Their basic decency and humanity gets in the way of objective reality from time to time, and the issue of civil rights is a very touchy one for them as a result. It’s impossible to argue with people these days to point out that civil rights legislation has largely failed.

      No one that I know of on the Right argues in favour of going back to forced segregation. It is an utterly unworkable and foolish policy. And no one on the Right argues for slavery – we hate it for the affront to human dignity and God’s Truth that it is.

      But conservatives fight tooth and nail against the idea of VOLUNTARY segregation, which others on the Right recognise is inevitable and necessary. This is because conservatives are hopelessly wedded to the idea of a “melting pot” society. This doesn’t work in real life.

      There is nothing in the world wrong with all-White towns, any more than there is anything wrong with all-Black towns. And if those communities voluntary insist on keeping themselves racially pure, that’s up to them. The Civil Rights Act and other such legislation made such voluntary arrangements impossible. So we all have to find other ways of dealing with the fact that xenophobia is a survival instinct.

      Ironically, both liberals AND conservatives acknowledge racial realities in their behaviour, if not their words. “Good schools” is classic coded language for “neighbourhoods without many Blacks or Hispanics”. Those are precisely the neighbourhoods where White liberals, especially, prefer to live – as much as they cherish their idiotic kumbaya ideals, the moment that they are forced to confront the messy realities of Black-dominated neighbourhoods, they run to the hills.

      I am surprise on Razer not liking Snyder Cut of Justice League

      I suspect that this is because of the nature of Zack Snyder’s work. He is a highly polarising director. Those who love his work, will greatly enjoy the Snyder Cut. Those who hate it, will loathe the Snyder Cut.

      I personally do like his style, especially in films like 300 and Watchmen. He’s actually a very good comic-adaptation film director. But I can see why people like Razorfist, who are not big fans of the DCEU, would dislike the Snyder Cut.
