“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 aerobatics

by | Oct 2, 2023 | Mondays | 2 comments

It is axiomatic that weekends never, ever last long enough – as the Great Prophet Murphy might once have phrased it, “the length of the weekend is inversely proportional to the amount of rest you need to recover from the week”. Certainly that was true in my case, as I was VERY much in need of rest and sleep after a pretty rough travel schedule, but didn’t quite manage it.

(By the way, I AM one of those people who can wake up right before the alarm goes off, naturally. I set my alarm for 0730 this morning, knowing I had an 0830 meeting – and woke up at 0728, instantly awake and ready to go. Yes, I can FEEL your hatred.)

Nonetheless, life goes on, and, like a Lazy Susan, Monday always comes back around. That, of course, is why we have the Great Mondaydact Browser Killer.

This week, let’s set our sights a bit higher, and slip the surly bonds of Earth, etc., to see what happens when men crazy enough to go blasting through the skies in supersonic jets, and skilled enough to handle them in coordinated manoeuvres, decide to do really cool epic things:

The Russian Knights (ะ ัƒััะบะธะต ะ’ะธั‚ัะทั‹):

Yes, the Su-35S literally can stop, do a flat spin, and then cartwheel in midair

The US Navy Blue Angels:

The USAF Thunderbirds:

The Indian Air Force’s Suryakiran:

And the ROK’s Black Eagles:


The Mighty God-Emperor

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, had a LOT of fun stopping by an ice cream store in Clownipornia โ€“ no doubt to get his two scoops, while he โ€œonlyโ€ bought everyone else one:


#BasedTucker is Based

#BasedTucker also interviewed the man whom he succeeded as the biggest voice on cable news โ€“ the one and only Bill Oโ€™Reilly:


Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain is back with plenty of thought-provoking (and one thot-provoking โ€“ go to end) material for the start of the week. We begin with a video from PsycHacks about a classic and serious misunderstanding women have about their relationships:

As our man in the field points out:

Quoting the comments section:

“You are asking women to admit they made a mistake. Not impossible but highly improbable “

Honest Ads (aka Cracked) tells DA ZOGGINโ€™ TROOF!!! about skincare advertising:

The remarkable success of skincare products, particularly for women, has a lot to do with skin-whitening, as well. It is a fact that the top-selling skincare products in the entire WORLD are always and everywhere skin-whiteners for women โ€“ and that is as true in China as it is in India or Africa.

Just goes to show โ€“ white skin is very much in demand around the world, and for very good reasons.

Moving on โ€“ AGC Andy tells you what your therapist would never dare:

Pursuit of Wonder takes an interesting point of view on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, who believed the cosmos was a place of terror and madness, full of unimaginably powerful beings that could easily crush all of humanity like a bug:

Our friend says the following in response to this video:

Science teaches us that there is uncertainty.

Also, as is written in Genesis:

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”

If you ignore God, you end up without form and void.

I agree entirely with Dawn Pine. The reason why Lovecraft was so terrified of the Universe, is because he lacked the central figure of a just, firm, yet benevolent Creator in his world-view.


Poli-ticking Off

Mark Dice watched the Republicuck Pozzidential Durrbate, so you didnโ€™t have to:


The dynamic duo over at Redacted report on the rapidly growing number of Ukrainian POWs being captured by the Russians:


Jackson Hinkle and his lovely girlfriend tour Red Square in Moscow:


Lord Razor of the Fist Clan reckons the Hollyweird writer strikes could soon extend to the video games industry as well:


PJW goes into the rather odd happenings over at GB News, which just suspended two of its star personalities because they said politically incorrect things โ€“ one got YEETED because he basically said no red-blooded man in his right mind would ever want to bang a crazy Leftist woman, no matter how hot she is:

I mean, itโ€™s not like Laurence Fox is WRONG, after all…


Warriorโ€™s Rage

Col. Douglas Macgregor speaks with Michael Savage at considerable length on all matters Banderastan-related:


Rulings from the Bench

Judge Nap has been busy as usual, interviewing his most excellent panel of talking heads. We start this time with LTC Tony Shaffer, who discusses the prospects of victory for Banderastan in the current conflict (spoiler alert โ€“ NIL):

Maj. Scott Ritter talks about the Westโ€™s endgame in 404:

Alistair Crooke discusses the ways in which governments keep tabs on their diplomats to stop them getting out of line, among other things:

Matthew Hoh provides some pretty shocking insights into the rapidly approaching collapse of the Ukrainian military, which has suffered losses on a scale not seen since the Eastern Front in WWII:

Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern are not optimistic about the state of Western UnIntelligence services, which appear to be getting stupider and more reckless by the day:

Finally, we have an EXCELLENT interview with Prof. John Mearsheimer about the true origins of this war:


ะ”ะตะด ะกะฒะฐั€ะปะธะฒั‹ะน ะ“ะพะฒะพั€ะธั‚!

Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the whole massive kerfuffle that happened last week with respect to the appearance of that Ukrainian Waffen SS 14th โ€œGalizia/Galiciaโ€ Division member in the Canuckistani Parliament, and the subsequent mindless applause of all the sheep present there โ€“ including Jews:


Polonium

Ania Konieczek did a livestream from Moscow (again) with Maj. Scott Ritter, who gets SERIOUSLY worked up about the Nazi influence in the West โ€“ itโ€™s great fun to watch/listen to:


Itโ€™s All Greek To Us

The good gentlemen of The Duran discuss the not-at-all-subtle plans to ship Bellendsky the Crackhead Hobo out of office:


The Bald Truth

Brian Berletic of The New Atlas and Mark Sleboda talk at great length about the Khlearly Khatastrophic Khollapsing Khreat Khumvee Khokholite Khounteroffensive:


Bad Medicine

Dr. John Campbell is not at all happy about the data showing significant and serious changes in menstruation related toโ€ฆ uhโ€ฆ an unknown origin with strange side effects:


Dr. Suneel Dhand talks about the true Merchants of Death โ€“ the doctors who prescribed opioids without EVER telling people about the devastating side effects and addictions that went with them:


Warriors of Faith

Tha Dizzle is hugely amused to see Izzlamist clerics admitting, FINALLY, what we Christians have been saying for CENTURIES:


Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms sits down with his greatest disciple, Hatun Tash, the Lioness of London, to offer a point-by-point refutation of the existence of Mecca โ€“ and therefore the entire false construct of Islam:


Al-Fadi from CIRA International sits with his friends, Dr. Jay Smith and Mel from Sneakerโ€™s Corner, to discuss the true identities of two of Izzlamโ€™s most important female personalities:


Manly Men of Manliness

Terrence Popp explains why men do stupid things โ€“ because weโ€™re STOOPID (a lot of the time):


Joker from Better Bachelor has a lot of inspirational advice to offer young men these days, who want to walk away from a society that clearly hates them:

It is important to understand here that the Christian and MGTOW views of the world are fundamentally irreconcilable. The MGTOW worldview is essentially about giving up and quitting the fight. The Christian worldview is all about fighting to the end โ€“ and taking tremendous casualties while doing it.

This is not to say the MGTOW guys are necessarily sinful or mistaken in their actions. All men have their breaking points. Those men who have been put through the meat-grinder will, at some point, say, โ€œenough is enoughโ€, and walk away.

The problem is with those young men who have never actually suffered, but are frightened by what they see, and want to avoid suffering in all of its forms. To this, I can only say: look up top at those videos from #BasedTucker.

The Christian lives by the COMMANDMENT to stand firm in the face of evil. It is our DUTY to stare death and destruction in the face, and refuse to flee โ€“ because we do not fear those who can destroy our bodies or souls in this life, but in the Hereafter.


Burn Paedowood to the Ground

Midnight’s Edge analyses Bob Igerโ€™s recent all-but-admission that the Culture Wars strategery has failed for the Devil Mouse:


Overlord Dicktor Van Doomcock speculates on the actions of one Dave Filoni โ€“ to that, I say, look down below in the Dank Memes section, where you will find an EXCELLENT one from our boy Robert W:


Gary from Nerdrotic also tackles Bob Igerโ€™s recent mea culpa:


The Drinker thinks Expend4bles (DAFUQ?!?!?!) is irredeemable stupid trash:


Reading Too Much Into Things

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and consists of a mathematical analysis of the Minoan Linear A script to try to decipher that writing system, which remains largely unknown:

Minoan Linear A is still an undeciphered script mainly used for administrative purposes on Bronze Age Crete. One of its most enigmatic features is the precise mathematical values of its system of numerical fractions. The aim of this article is to address this issue through a multi-stranded methodology that comprises palaeographical examination and statistical, computational, and typological approaches. Taking on from previous analyses, which suggested hypothetical values for some fractions, we extended our probe into assessing values for some problematic ones. The results achieved, based, on the one hand, on a close palaeographical analysis and, on the other, on computational, statistical and typological strategies, show a remarkable convergence and point towards a systematic assignment of mathematical values for the Linear A fraction signs. This contribution sets the agenda for a combinatorial, novel, and unbiased approach that may help advance our comprehension of some standing issues related to ancient undeciphered writing systems.

Here is a video on the subject to help provide some useful context:


Your long read of the week is a quite fascinating piece from Eugene Kusmiak about the misconceptions and realities of population growth/collapse, using mathematics and modelling:

In each of the 3 scenarios above, the first generation acts like us: with an average fertility rate of 1.5 children per woman (0.75 children per person), the next generation is exactly ยพ the size of the previous generation. But after that, the scenarios diverge โ€“ to population collapse, population explosion, or collapse followed by explosion. The first 2 scenarios are biologically impossible, leaving something in between as more realistic. The 1960sโ€™ fear of a Population Bomb has already been widely discredited, forgotten by all but a few Boomers who havenโ€™t noticed how much the world has changed since then. The fear of Human Extinction, currently frightening the Tech Bros, needs to be discarded as obsolete too.

I call scenario 3 โ€œPopulation Recoveryโ€, but you could also call it โ€œPopulation Replacementโ€. It entails the wholesale replacement of modern childless individuals with people who behave quite differently. In a few generations, the >=10 child family lines will replace the <=2 child family lines.

This is great news for America and Europe. Our current birth rate collapse will turn around and fertility will come back with a vengeance. We donโ€™t need a political program to make this happen. Our biology will make it happen whether we pass โ€œpro-natalistโ€ legislation to encourage children or not. The simple fact of people who want large families having them and people who want small families having them, and their children behaving like their parents did whether from genes or upbringing, will take care of it.

Thank goodness! The future would be bleak indeed if we had to rely on conservative politicians to save us. Luckily, the Right can continue their 100% losing streak in the culture wars, and everything will be just fine. In fact, it might be better if conservatives keep losing. The more progressives win the culture wars, the more they drive their own most loyal supporters to extinction. Itโ€™s worth remembering that over the past century, the Left has gone from trying to violently establish a Workers Paradise to now encouraging their most ardent believers to โ€œliberateโ€ themselves with chemical castration and genital mutilation. Whatever you think of the latter, itโ€™s far less destructive than the former. 100 years ago, the Left was murdering tens of millions of their class enemies (land-owners, small businessmen, โ€œrich peasantsโ€). Today, the Left is persuading tens of millions of their own supporters (gays, trannies, college-educated women) to not have kids. This is a fantastic improvement no matter what aspect you consider:

Eliminating the next generation through voluntarily not having children is nowhere near as evil as eliminating the current generation through mass murder.

Gruesome surgery by doctors is less harmful than organized slaughter by soldiers.

Not reproducing the in-group is more moral than executing the out-group.

Figurative suicide is a lot nicer than literal homicide.

Thereโ€™s no comparison really. During the past century, the Left went from ordering โ€œthe liquidation of the kulaks as a classโ€ to asking boys โ€œcan I cut your dick off to make you a girl?โ€ Though creepy, thatโ€™s just not as bad โ€“ you can say โ€œnoโ€ to gender-affirming doctors, and in fact most people do. The only way anyone could think that 21st century Leftism is as bad as 20th century Leftism is if they forget the enormity of what 20th century Leftists did. Communists killed 100,000,000 people during the 20th century. Today, they have not only cut way back on their murders, they have also embraced childlessness which ensures that they wonโ€™t produce descendants who will murder again in the future. We should not only be thanking them for no longer killing millions of people, we should also thank them for sterilizing themselves and everyone who drinks their Kool-Aid. So, letโ€™s give thanks for our blessings: we are blessed to be living in a century when the Left is primarily suicidal, not homicidal.

It is a nice theory and all – until you realise that what he is effectively saying, in a very roundabout way, is simply, “the future belongs to those who show up for it”.

And when you then realise that the people showing up for the future in the West are low-IQ Dirt Worlders and Shitholistanis… well, then you understand why high-IQ Western right-wingers might be worried about the future.


Linkage is good for you:

Comedy Hour


Meme Warfare

We begin with a bunch of dank memes from The Male Brain, which I rather forgot to put in last week’s poast – mea culpa, mea maxima culpa:

No. The problem is you are not hanging with the right crowd. May I suggest “The IT Crowd”?
SO COOL!
Comment section: “Thanks. The banana really helps.”
CAN CONFIRM
Who said puns aren’t funny?
OK, that’s a physics joke. Not engineering.

[Yeah, but engineering is basically repeatable, confirmed, useful applied physics – Didact]

It’s going to be a few days…
So cool, Car Edition
I believe we can easily find the flaw in the logic.
Comments section again: “Probably the best response ever! ๐Ÿ˜‚”
I’m conflicted.
On the one hand – I use the metric system.
On the other hand – we all saw what happened when Disney took over the Empire.
USE OTHER SOFTWARE. Even Excel.
Why on Earth would you buy an Apple computer?

[Not to mention, the corporate symbol for Apple is LITERALLY a reference to original sin – Didact]

BURN
Comments section one more: “Displacement too”
I believe our host can confirm

[He most certainly can – Didact]

OK, that is a MATH joke. Not engineering

[OK, THAT is hilarious – Didact]

Let’s have a few more from Dawn Pine, related to the late, great David McCallum:

Ok, the movie also counts
Cue titles
To clear: An American Alpha works with a Russian Beta and gets ordered from a Brit.
This is why it is called FICTION
And some of the work he did

Oh yeah, he WAS in that Batman movie!!! (Which was AWESOMESAUCE!)

And some more of the same with excellent contributions from LRFotS Robert W:

    I like Tucker. And it was great when he talked about Paul and the bravely he show.
    It was weird that Tucker and his family only quit the church because of Covid Shut down and not because of the Female Pastor.

    1 Timothy 2 : 11Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
