“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. WTF, man. And this one is worse than most, because the place where I’m staying has a very wonky bed. As a result, I have severe lower backache, which makes my usually delightful temperament even more… SUNNY than usual. It’s just a good thing that there is a place down the beach where I can do static holds and hang for a minute at a time. This does wonders to decompress the spine, let me tell you.

Anyway – it’s Monday, and that of course means another instalment of the epic Great Mondaydact Browser Buster series. We start this week with a mega meta moment, wherein the one and only William Shatner looks at other actors doing impressions of him:

Shatner is 90 years old and still Alpha AF. So much so, in fact, that The Male Brain and I dedicated an entire episode of this ongoing series to him.


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, does not pull ANY punches whatsoever when it comes to what he thinks caused the Coof:


#BasedTucker is based:


Mark Dice puts in very concrete terms exactly what the Daemoncrats want to do to the country:


Dave from Blue Collar Logic asks (rhetorically) who started the culture wars, and why they have become so vicious:


Related – Jason Siler points out that the whole nonsensical furore over the use of “whips and reins” by CBP agents against the Pore & Stervin’ Haitians, is nothing more than kabuki meant to distract you from the actual problem:


Bill Whittle and his good friend Alfonzo Rachel ask whether America has an actual obligation to welcome the entire dregs of the Dirt World into its borders:


The Male Brain is back with some great stuff, as always. We start with a very timely video from Academy of Ideas:

It’s very solid advice, but it avoids making the obvious conclusions about the need for faith as an actual, vital component of a healthy society. And, while tyranny is indeed a huge global problem, there ARE still plenty of free spots that you can go to. Paradoxically enough, Russia is now more free than the USA – and better maintained and better policed and less corrupt, if you can believe that.

Here are some Futurama moments that turned out to be eerily prescient:

The boys at ScreenRant explain how to pitch to the Hellmouth execs who populate Netherflix, if you happen to have an idea:

Prager U teams up with #BasedTucker to ask why America’s border crisis has even been permitted to happen in the first place:

It’s great to see Dave Cullen back, and he reviews an highly underrated gem of a film – Gattaca, one of the best sci-fi movies that I’ve ever seen:

Cracked is doing well on its quest to become funny and relevant again, with a video here about what an honest dentist’s office might look like:

And now let us enjoy some great JP Sears videos of him… well, being him, really:


Paul Ramsey gives an update on the GOP’s latest attempt at Noble Defeat:


The lovely and charming Dr. Sam Bailey takes on one of her most strident critics, as only she can:


Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms collaborates with his good friend Mel from Sneaker’s Corner to discuss the issue of depicting people and animals in the Izzlamic dogma:


Al-Fadi from CIRA International and Dr. Jay Smith discuss why Mecca’s “hajj” stages actually come from much more ancient rituals based in Jerusalem:


Alisa Childers for Cross Examined notes that “progressive” Christianity is basically just a bad remix of Gnosticism, with a good amount of nonsense thrown in:


China Uncensored takes a close look at the CCP’s plan to spread serious viruses around the world, starting with the Coof:


America Uncovered wonders why Fraudci is so keen on “booster” shots of the not-vaxx:


Jared Taylor from American Renaissance points out something that you’re not supposed to notice about human evolution:


Terrence Popp takes off all of the limiters and filters for this one:


Lord Razor of the Fist Clan looks at the results of the Maricopa County, AZ, audit – not recount, AUDIT – and points out that all of us “conspiracy nuts” were 100% CORRECT:


The big pop culture news this past week was all about how Jabba the Lucas’s ex-wife, Marcia, absolutely trashed the Devil Mouse Wars films. Overlord Dicktor Van Doomcock looks at it:


Gary from Nerdrotic does the same:


The Drinker provides a powerful and well-argued breakdown of why modern movies REALLY suck:


Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and concerns how to make actual 2-D magnets at the atomic scale:

The recent discovery of ferromagnetism in two-dimensional van der Waals crystals has provoked a surge of interest in the exploration of fundamental spin interaction in reduced dimensions. However, existing material candidates have several limitations, notably lacking intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetic order and air stability. Here, motivated by the anomalously high Curie temperature observed in bulk diluted magnetic oxides, we demonstrate room-temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped graphene-like Zinc Oxide, a chemically stable layered material in air, down to single atom thickness. Through the magneto-optic Kerr effect, superconducting quantum interference device and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements, we observe clear evidences of spontaneous magnetization in such exotic material systems at room temperature and above. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy results explicitly exclude the existence of metallic Co or cobalt oxides clusters. X-ray characterizations reveal that the substitutional Co atoms form Co2+ states in the graphitic lattice of ZnO. By varying the Co doping level, we observe transitions between paramagnetic, ferromagnetic and less ordered phases due to the interplay between impurity-band-exchange and super-exchange interactions. Our discovery opens another path to 2D ferromagnetism at room temperature with the advantage of exceptional tunability and robustness.


Your long read of the week is from Israel Shamir over at The Unz Review, and looks at how and why Putin disappeared the way he did:

Russia’s ‘democracy’ is as limited as anywhere. The political process is controlled by a governing body called AP (Administration of the President); it is not even mentioned in the constitution, but they decide who can take part in the elections and who will make it to the parliament. They do dirty tricks, too, by creating splinter parties to steal votes from the opposition. The AP decided that the Communists should not get more than 20 per cent of the vote, while the ruling United Russia should have about 50 per cent. These were the instructions given to local bosses and they just followed orders. In a few districts where the local bosses decided to ignore the AP orders, the Communists got up to 30 per cent, and United Russia below 30%. Together with the Socialists, the Russian Reds could form the new government. They would gladly serve under Putin.

The Russian Reds are not similar to the US (and European) Left. They are against identity politics, against gender and race discourse, they love Christ and Stalin. The Russian Reds differ from the US (and European) Right, for they support massive nationalization, a comprehensive health service and free education; they are against oligarchs and do not like immigration. In short, they are much more Putin than Putin. And they are not West-friendly. Their rise would change things on the world scale. Now, for the first time since 1996, they became popular among young people as well as among the older citizens. Though they are very different from the pro-Western liberal opposition, they learned to do things together against the AP diktat. CPRF is basically a social-democratic party, perfectly fit to rule; but the AP considers them too independent.

The Communists rejected the results of the digital vote; the government responded in force. Many Communist candidates and their staff were arrested. The government forbade the protest demos and rallies, using the Coronavirus as their preferred pretext. What would they do without the Corona, I wonder! The West correctly accused the Russian authorities of manipulating the electoral results; wrongly they attributed the opposition success to Navalny and his pro-Western liberals. But the Reds are quite timid, for two reasons: they are rather supportive of Putin and his foreign policy, and they are afraid of being outlawed and banned, as happened under Yeltsin. The liberals overthrew the communists and shelled the parliament in the 1990s, and they aren’t going to allow the Red Return, I was told by a member of the Russian parliament, the Duma.

History lessons of the week:


Your Great Man of the Week is Robert Blake – it happens to be his birthday today, in fact – at Dawn Pine‘s suggestion:

Who was Robert Blake, you might ask? Read this and marvel at the sheer size of his titanium-cast balls:

Blake’s first naval campaign was against his old adversary Prince Rupert, who had also become an admiral. He sailed against Rupert’s squadron of privateers stationed at Kinsale in southern Ireland in May 1649, chasing Rupert to Portugal and blockading him in Lisbon harbour from March to September 1650. Blake seized the Portuguese Brazil fleet after King John IV of Portugal refused to expel Rupert or to acknowledge the Commonwealth of England. He continued his pursuit when Rupert escaped from Lisbon and sailed into the Mediterranean. Blake attacked a detachment of Rupert’s squadron making for the neutral Spanish port of Cartagena where one was captured and the rest wrecked. Finally, with most of his ships destroyed or captured by Blake, Rupert sailed away into the Atlantic. Both Portugal and Spain were obliged to recognise the English Commonwealth as a result of Blake’s activities.

Blake was back in British waters in 1651. With the assistance of Sir George Ayscue, he captured the Royalist base on the Isles of Scilly in May 1651, from where Sir John Grenville had been running an effective privateering campaign against Commonwealth shipping. In October, Blake attacked Sir George Carteret’s stronghold at Elizabeth Castle on Jersey, which surrendered in December after a fifty-day siege.

And that’s just the start of it, by the way. His full biography reveals a swashbuckling life that was rarely equalled and never excelled.

Wise Uncle Chael the American Gangster breaks down the spectacular and continued rise of Valentina “Bullet” Schevchenko, easily the most dominant and dangerous champion in WMMA today:

Valentina is simply amazing. She is hugely talented in multiple areas, and her striking is incredible to watch – it’s clean, precise, powerful, measured, and beautiful.

I don’t respect too many female athletes, because most of them are wildly overhyped. Valentina is one of those rare instances where the hype belies the reality.

Here are the fight highlights from her most recent outing to show what I mean:

#DoYouBelieveInSteel


Right, lads, here’s your Instathot for the start of the week to get you off to a good start. Her name is Stefanie Gurzanski, age 26, from Ontario, Canuckistan, and if her name sounds familiar, it’s because she got caught being a SERIOUS thot a few months ago. To her “credit”, I suppose, she was totally honest about who and what she is, so I can’t really blame her for taking a simp’s money and leaving him with severe blue balls – thots gonna thot, and simps gonna simp. It’s just that simple (heh).

All right, lads, end of show, get back to work. Tens of thousands of Haitian “refugees” need your support, so get to it.

    They should play that Terrence Popp video in high school health class.

    There were two women, and I wish I kept the links, that were pilloried for pointing this out. The first one said that if you even think you want to have kids, you need to start moving to do that in your twenties. The other said if you even think you want to get married, you should start looking in college since you will never be around a larger cohort of eligible men ever again.

    They both were right, and they both were excoriated. But it’s something I told both my Daughters. My youngest is 26, and engaged to a great dude. My oldest just turned 30 and has 4 kids.

    When my son was involved with a wall smash woman, I flat out told him so. My exact line was “She’s heading to the wall at ramming speed with a fat grenade in her hands, and I think she’s pulled the pin”. Older men, like me, can see such things. It blew apart, and he’s now at the stage where his eyes have been opened. He’s also at the point where his buddies are telling him how lucky he was to have dodged that bullet.

    But to add on to what Popp said, you can tell straight away if you see them side by side. Last winter my 20 something niece was here to study. It was wonderful having a beautiful, feminine, young woman in the house (not that I don’t love my wife). But side by side it’s night and day. When evil girlfriend was over it was even more stark. Being her cousin, the boy wouldn’t notice her the same way, but it was like looking at a toad sitting next to a beautiful, fragrant flower. She’s so far from the wall she can’t even see it, and there probably won’t be one since her mother is my wife’s age and is still thin and pretty.

      “But side by side it’s night and day. When evil girlfriend was over it was even more stark. ”

      This is something interesting. Sometimes experienced men have the eye to tell the difference, but many men are just old without being able to discern the difference.

      The wisdom of the young man is to winnow which one is giving the advice.

      Your son is a blessed man.

        Your son is a blessed man.

        He is indeed. TechieDude contacted me separately with the full story. I will not go into the details without his express permission, but suffice to say, his son has a strong father, a very solid family, and some very good friends. His son went through some… challenges, but he’s going to be just fine. Better than fine, in fact.
