Ah, Monday, the enemy of all that is fun and interesting. We meet again. Once you Monday, you can never get rid of it – rather like herpes. Or, worse, the Clintons. Fortunately, the Great Mondaydact Browser Burster is here to befuddle, bemuse, and bewilder all who behold it – though this is slightly more difficult these days, in light of the fact that Internet Exploder, the absolute worst web browser, is finally dead. If you tried to load up one of these weekly instalments on that shitheap of a browser, you would quickly discover that the “Browser Buster” moniker is extremely well deserved.
At any rate, I was watching some interesting videos over the weekend about various different weird movie and video game aliens, so here is a selection of icky stuff to make you remember the good old days, when film and game aliens were genuinely scary and creepy:
Natasha Henstridge in her prime… yowza.

The Male Brain delivers as always with a collection of most excellent excellence. We start with a new channel from probably the busiest guy on all of YOOTOOBZ, Baldy Wheeler himself, with Sideprojects, talking about weird sounds:
Yannic Kilcher reports on an AI that learned how to become every bit as obnoxious and annoying as your average 4Channer – by training itself in 4Chan:
Here is the El Reg article on the same subject, which is every bit as hilarious as you might expect.
This is why I’m not yet really so worried about the Great Robot Uprising – when you expose them to the worst of Teh Innarwebz, they become just like us, but you can still figure them out pretty fast. Of course, this may only be a temporary reprieve from the Rise of the Machines.
Solid jj continues his streak of superb retro-comedy by explaining what it is like on a Monday morning at Legion of Doom HQ:
Wisecrack offers a philosophical take on the film, Everything Everywhere All at Once:
The Critical Drinker rather liked that movie, too.
When you’re the Neo-Tsar, you’ve got a lot of very powerful, very unhappy people constantly gunning for you – and, as The Infographics Show points out, you also have ways of surviving that crazy stuff in equally crazy ways:
Poli-ticking Off
Mark Dice unpacks video of noted Constitutional scholar (/sarc) Van Jones looking at what America’s founding document actually says about how a Presidential candidate can question, dispute, and otherwise disrupt the electoral process, and discovers, to his astonishment and horror, that the Constitution is in fact anti-democratic, and that President Trump had absolutely every right to do what he did when he suspected election fraud in the Fake Election of 2020:
China Uncensored reckons that the Small-Hat Tribe are becoming increasingly unpopular in the Middle Kingdom:
If nothing else, this should put paid to the exceedingly foolish notion, touted by the likes of David P. Goldman and others, that the Learned Elders of Wye can simply decamp from the USSA after it falls and breaks apart, and go to China, because of the similarities in the ways in which Chinese and Jews have assimilated into non-native populations.
Lord Razor of the Fist Clan goes into full rage-spitting mode on the subject of “red flag laws”, which are nothing more than a covert attempt to steal your rights:
The dynamic duo over at Redacted analyse the likelihood of success of NATO’s “NEW new strategery” with respect to 404:
Jackson Hinkle looks at what the Americans captured by the Allied forces in Banderastan have to say about the real nature of war over there:
The New Atlas is thoroughly unimpressed by the Limey commitment to train up to 10,000 Banderites every 4 months in NATO-standard tactics and weapons – because that has worked so well up to this point:
An army – a REAL army, capable of actually winning REAL wars – cannot be trained in 4 months to modern standards of battle. That takes YEARS. You HAVE to build up a true cadre of NCOs and officers, and you have to teach them how to deal with the full realities of combined-arms warfare.
There is pretty much only one military on Earth that does this anymore – and it is Russia’s. The Brits forgot how to do this decades ago.
Дед Сварилвый Говорит!
Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about plummeting standards in American ADOLT EDJOOMUHCAYSHUN, which used to be supposedly the best around, but in fact NEVER was, at least when it came to producing genuinely great minds in mathematics and science:
Do not mistake me (or Grumpuss). We are NOT saying that Americans are stupid. America has produced geniuses and titans of science, engineering, and mathematics throughout its history. That is a function of true innate brilliance and opportunity.
But the American education SYSTEM is an entirely different story. And that deserves every last brickbat that it gets, from the 1960s onwards.
I am a product of several different education systems – including the American one. I can attest firsthand that its lack of rigour in mathematics and science is shocking relative to the British, Chinese, or Russian systems.
It’s All Greek To Us
The dynamic duo of The Duran have had their hands full keeping up with events over the past week. First up, Alexander Mercouris offers a long and in-depth analysis of events over the past few days in 404 and elsewhere, especially considering the Neo-Tsar’s comments at SPIEF:
His good friend and colleauge Alex Christoforou did a night update in the Olympic Stadium in Athens:
And in their joint programme, the two analyse the current failures of Western economic and financial policy, especially as Russia and China continue to strengthen a relationship based on pragmatism and simple sense:
Righteous Rantery
Paul Ramsey notes that – shockingly – some cultures are better than others, especially when you look at how a groom treats his bride over in Uzbekistan or wherever it was:
PJW wonders whether we should be concerned about an AI that “thinks” for itself:
Terrence Popp can be very scary when he gets all serious about some of the genuinely strange shit that he has lived through:

The Drinker explains to the dim bulbs over at Disney, in words that they can understand (though his Scottish accent does mangle things somewhat), exactly how they managed to screw up their relationship with the STAR WARS fanbase:
Reading Too Much Into Things
Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is about the odd phenomenon of “starquakes”, in which inconceivably huge “waves” ripple out across the surfaces of entire stars, like tsunamis:
A trove of data collected by the European Space Agency (ESA) through its Gaia space observatory has been released on Monday, revealing “starquakes” on thousands of stars across the Milky Way galaxy.
Astronomers say the phenomenon is more like a stellar-scale tsunami than earthquakes which shake the base of a planet, as main sequence stars have no crusts (although neutron stars can undergo extremely powerful quakes).
The newly observed oscillations provide a hint of what is happening under the star’s surface, analogous to the way seismologists use tremors on Earth to deduce its internal structure.
Astrophysicist Conny Aerts, a member of the research team, said: “Gaia is opening a goldmine for ‘asteroseismology’ of massive stars.”
The ESA has released a video showing the “sounds” of the starquakes. Rather than actual soundwaves, they are a “sonification” of the data collected by the space probe and its two telescopes.
Video below:
Your long read of the week is a rather interesting article about the catastrophic “Winter-20” wargame that Poland conducted a while back, which involved a scenario in which Russian armoured forces invade Poland through the “Suwalki Gap”, a narrow corridor that links the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad with the Motherland. This is quite germane to the current time, given that, over the weekend, the Lithuanians did something so staggeringly stupid that it almost defies comprehension – they closed the Suwalki Gap to all rail and road traffic carrying Russian goods and citizens between Kaliningrad and the Russian heartland.
The Lithuanians staged a giant provocation that may draw all of Europe into a land war. How do you suppose that would go for Poland? Keep in mind, the Polacks conducted this exercise over 18 months ago, BEFORE they gave away over half of their tank fleet to the Banderites:
The scenario of the game assumed a plan for the defense of Eastern Poland against a Russian invasion through the Suwalki Gap. Polish Armed Forces were tasked with the defense of the region to the East of the Vistula River for 22 days with the use of all units at the disposal of the General Staff. The fulfilment of a new modernization program for the Polish Army was modelled into the wargame. It means that the new F-35 jet fighters, HIMARS artillery system, long-range A2/AD batteries equipped with Patriot system, modernized Leopard 2A4 brigade, and new Badger IFVs, were at the disposal of the defending side. It was the largest wargame of this type conducted since 1989.
The Polish news outlet, Interia.pl, managed to gather information from the participants of the “Winter-20” wargame. The testimonies of officers that had reportedly taken part in the drills were more than grim. With the original defense plan for the East, the Polish Armed Forces were unable to hold for the anticipated 22 days. Instead, on day 4 the Russian forces managed to reach the line of the Vistula River and encircle Poland’s capital, Warsaw. On the fifth day the remaining Polish forces left on the eastern bank of the river were virtually obliterated. It was assumed that the units fighting on the first line lost between 60 to 80% of their equipment and personnel within the opening 96 hours of operations. Furthermore, Onet Wiadomości reported that some of Polish division commanders refused to fulfil orders given by the General Staff as they were incomprehensible.
A similar scenario with a similar conclusion was conducted during the wargame conducted by Marine Corps War College in 2019. NATO forces were deployed in the same region and received similar tasks to stop the Russian invasion through the Suwalki Gap. As the outcome, after merely 72 hours the Polish Armed Forces received 75% losses and were incapable of conducting any further operations. They were practically drained defending the Suwalki Gap, with the Russian spearhead achieving a major blow.
The strategy of defending the area of Eastern Poland was based on the deployment of the 1st Armoured Brigade from Western Poland to Wesola near Warsaw. The Brigade consists of new Leopard 2A5 and Leopard 2PL MBTs and is a part of a newly created 18th Mechanized Division that was formed during the 100 anniversary of Polish independence. It was the idea of a former Minister of Defense, Antoni Macierewicz, a controversial figure.
Antoni Macierewicz is a politician closely tied to the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party and he remained in radical circles and was defense minister until the government reformed 2018. During his time in the office, the Polish Armed Forces conducted purges among high-ranking officers, academic lecturers, chiefs of various committees, directorates, and members of the general staff. Macierewicz was accused of dismantling and politicizing the armed forces as he made changes suitable to his views and demands, for example, he turned down the Airbus contract for new MH-225M helicopters. He was also the creator of the WOT formation, which has arguably deprived the Armed Forces or much needed equipment reserves. Since then, the Polish Armed Forces condition began to deteriorate rapidly and Macierewicz was replaced with the current Minister of Defense, Mariusz Blaszczak.
I think that the Europeans are going to discover in a very big hurry that their grand schemes and plans of a pan-European alliance, capable of taking on Russia and winning, are nothing more than pipe dreams. NATO has proven to be totally impotent in the face of Russian combined-arms warfare and its C4ISR in the 404 War, against Slavs who actually know how to fight, and who possessed the largest land army in Europe aside from Russia’s, before the war. By comparison, the rest of Europe barely has enough strength to swat a fly, never mind take on the actual Russian army.
Linkage is good for you:
- Larry Johnson has seen a lot of dumb things in his life, but even a hardened realist like him is staggered at just how dumb the Lithuanians have been in closing the Suwalki Gap to Russian transit;
- Ivan Timofeyev argues that Russia’s Special Military Operation is about far, far more than just Banderastan – it is nothing short of a full-throated rebellion against the failed world order of the Empire of Lies;
- Col. Douglas Macgregor notes that the lies of the 404 War, told by the USSA and its Empire of Lies, are finally being exposed for what they are, and the results are disastrous for the imperial overlords;
- The Z Man points out that the dividends of the Cold War have been spent, several times over, and now the bill is coming due and America is far from capable of paying it;
- Scott Ritter writes an obituary for the (largely unmourned and almost certainly highly impractical) JCPOA, aka “Iran Deal”, though he does rather gloss over some of the deal’s more odious stipulations;
- Kim du Toit has some exceedingly choice words, written in his own inimitable Grumpy Old Git style, but with impeccable Ye Olde Englishe grammare ande spellinge, about Odumbass the Lightworker;
- Web users everywhere, rejoice! Internet Exploder, the WORST of all of the modern web browsers, is FINALLY DEAD!!! Except that, when the Grim Reaper came to drag it along to the Underworld, it stopped responding…;
- Everything is so fake and gay that USA Today had to remove nearly two dozen articles from its website after one of its writers just straight-up fabricated shit – Stephen Glass would be proud;
- Hunter Biden‘s ex-wife reveals the exact moment that she discovered her ne’er-do-well sleazebag of a husband was cheating on her – it’s hard to feel sorry for a Biden (though she married into their corrupt clan), but you really do for her;
- Just in time for Juneteenth (whatever the heck that is), Robert Hampton puts up a thought-provoking, though probably slanted, piece about the true effectiveness of Black soldiers in the US Army in WWI;
- Paul Craig Roberts has nothing but contempt for the globalists who have ruined the lives of millions of Americans by first subsidising credit creation, and then making it ruinously expensive through rate hikes;
- The Falklands War deserves to be remembered for a lot of reasons, the most important of which is the fact that it proved, back then, that Britain could still fight overseas wars – though rather a lot has changed since then;
- I didn’t even know that Revlon had gone bankrupt until I read about it in, of all places, The Daily Fail, but full credit to them, their article on the subject is a stellar examination of a business that failed to adapt and move with the times;
- The House of the Devil Mouse continues to be a fertile spawning ground for paedos and child-botherers of the absolute worst kind – “What would an operation be… without a Disney employee?” – actual quote from the article;
- And speaking of Paedo Mouse, The Dark Herald watched Lightyear, so that you don’t have to, and finds that it is even worse than you can possibly imagine;
And some more from Dawn Pine:
- The Sun continues to publish fake and gay news of the absolute worst kind, such as this ridiculous claim that some “crack SAS unit” operating deep behind enemy lines in 404 has managed to kill up to 20 Russian generals;
- If you’re going to use AI algorithms for anything useful, you might as well use them to hunt potentially dangerous asteroids – it’s certainly a better application than using them to programme rogue chatbots;
- And speaking of which, as mentioned above, here is an article from The Register about how some guy with FAR too much time on his hands created an AI chatbot that became every bit as nasty as your average 4Channer;
- If you want to avoid a Coof quarantine, don’t go to Hong Kong, and especially don’t plan to meet Chinese Supreme Leader Xi Jinping anytime soon;
- Apparently, the people over at Goolag have a lot of spare time, because they kept a long-division programme running on Google Cloud to calculate pi out to 100 TRILLION digits;
- If you think that the most ridiculous thing about the world’s first realistic sexbot is that it has a Glaswegian accent, then I have some very bad news for you – and also, WE ARE ALL DOOMED;
- THere is a reason why Christian marriage vows have the whole “til death do us part” clause, and this tragic case of a woman who woke up from a coma to find that her partner had left her, shows exactly why;
- I know I bag on OnlySimps “content creators” and Instathots a lot, but not that many of them are ACTUAL whores – the case of one Kitty Lixo, however, is exceptional enough to warrant a full-page story;
- Ladies, do you want to know how to live longer and have a better life? Just be optimistic and happy;
- Petrolheads like me find elective vehicles to be a joke in very bad taste, but you know that shit’s gotten way out of hand when an EV pickup truck comes with a Tesla adapter to allow them to charge Teslas;
- Thai farmers are using weed instead of antibiotics to keep their chickens healthy in the latest all-organic craze, which gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “fried chicken”;
- You can file this one under “Fake Pope Spreads Fake News”, but when even the pretender to the Throne of St. Peter thinks that WWIII has been effectively declared, then you know that something genuinely big is happening;
- Putting teenagers to work, in a country where weed is legal and yoot employment opportunities are scarce, is a very good way of filling a labour shortage AND teaching today’s misbegotten youngsters some much-needed humility;
- Here is this week’s candidate for “Pathetic Spineless Beta of the Month” – dude found a chick online and was then dumb enough to tell her that he saved her pic and kissed it;
- For some reason, the Leftoids in PommieBastardLande are all bent out of shape over plans to deport a bunch of illegals to Rwanda, but actually, if you look at where those illegals will be staying, it’s a really nice place;
- The WTO did something unusually sensible, which is quite rare for that pack of evil globalists, and extended a moratorium on tariffs on electronic communications until next year;
MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOZHUN!!!
The Neo-Tsar gave an absolutely outstanding, and extremely important, speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF):
