“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 Tropic Blunder

by | Mar 10, 2025 | Mondays | 0 comments

“Welcome to Monday” – said literally nobody, ever. And anybody who DOES say it, deserves a mouthful of knuckles, because Monday is like that horrible stain on the carpet that you cannot get out, no matter HOW hard you scrub. It ALWAYS shows up, and it ALWAYS causes problems.

Fortunately, of course, that is why the Great Mondaydact Browser Smasher exists, to reduce the pain a little bit and provide some useful distractions.

Today we will kick things off by taking a look at one of the greatest action-comedies ever recorded – Tropic Thunder, which I watched in the theatres back when it came out, and laughed until it hurt. That is a film that has genuinely aged like fine wine – it is even funnier to watch in today’s hyper-politically correct climate, than it was back then.

It is one of the VERY few genuinely hilarious movies of the past 20 years, thanks to its sledgehammer-subtle send-up of vapid, self-important, stupid movie stars:

Let’s not forget the fake opening trailers:

But, the single greatest role in the film, has GOT to be Tom Cruise as “Les Grossman” – which was a not-at-all-subtle pisstake of serial rapist Harvey Weinstein:

I remember watching that in the movie theatre at the time with my jaw on the floor. it was IMPOSSIBLE (see what I did there?) to believe that was TOM FREAKIN’ CRUISE.

That was the moment many of us – self included – realised that Mr. Cruise is, in fact, a legitimately talented actor, not merely an action hero. And – with some notable exceptions for particularly awful films – he remains perhaps the last action hero in Hollyweird today.

Also – this movie is a great reminder that Ben stiller could, and did, once make great movies. His output for the last decade or so has been – not to put too fine a point on it – total SHITE, and he is of course a bleeding-heart liberaltard. (Probably because of his vegan diet – thanks in no small part to his former-then-ex-and-now-again-wife.) So everything he does today, literally stinks – it must have something to do with all that tofu-and-beans.

But, Tropic Thunder reminds us that there was a time when everyone involved in that movie, could truly make good stuff.


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, for he shall reign for 40,000 years, announced the creation of a digital currency reserve to shore up the USDโ€™s asset base:

This is a fascinating idea from The Donald, but it remains to be seen whether it will have any actual anchoring effect on the USD. Digital currencies have no intrinsic value, just as paper currencies do not. Unlike paper currencies, though, for the most part, cryptocurrencies not actually currencies at the moment โ€“ they do not meet any of the three major criteria for โ€œmoneyโ€.


#BasedTucker is Based

Phenomenal interview. The Boers are true sons of the African soil, and they are fighting for their identity and existence.

Also an incredible interview โ€“ especially as we are now in the season of Lent.


Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has some great stuff for us this week. We start with a hilarious reminder from Your World of Internet, about a video that went viral way back in 2016, claiming the God-Emperor would never be POTUS:

And look where we are today. The God-Emperor shall rule for 40,000 more years!

Wisecrack reckons โ€œtechnofeudalismโ€ is the next likely stage of economic development:

That might be true in the West, if you look at things from a very Leftoid lens โ€“ though, it is important to note, the Lefties have been wrong on almost EVERYTHING of consequence, for the last two centuries.

However, for countries that have serious industrial bases and manufacturing capabilities, it is a VERY different story. Technofeudalism is not going to work in Russia. It is not even likely in China โ€“ as much as I loathe the CPC, I will readily admit that they have done a solid job deleveraging the economy and focusing on producing actual things.

Technofeudalism only works in countries where there is little ability to manufacture things, which therefore allows oligarchs to control large sectors of the โ€œknowledge economyโ€ โ€“ for the simple reason that it is much easier to raise protective barriers around ideas, than it is around physical things. (If you do not believe me, try to read someone elseโ€™s mind to reverse-engineer his brilliant ideas, and tell me how far you get.)

Moving on โ€“ Past America tells us how The Princess Bride became such a quotable film, even though, objectively speaking, it is actually quite silly and ordinary:

What Iโ€™ve Learned shows you what happens when you eat huge amounts of high-quality egg protein every single day โ€“ spoiler alert, ITโ€™S REALLY DAMNED GOOD FOR YOU:

The important caveat here is that what doctors call your โ€œcholesterolโ€ levels, are actually lipoproteins, not serum cholesterol. And the important lesson here is that almost all mainstream diet and medical advice is complete BUNK.

This one hits hard for any of us who have ever had to deal with a nightmare boss โ€“ which is ALL OF US, at one point or another:

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from Kurzgesagt โ€“ In a Nutshell, and examines the very unpleasant results of getting hooked on the Devilโ€™s Lettuce:

I have personally seen the outcome of weed addiction in people that already have latent or overt psychological issues. That shit makes those issues MUCH WORSE โ€“ particularly for people who already have problems with paranoia or panic attacks.

And that is before we talk about the dangers of its use in people with athletic backgrounds. While marijuana has significant abilities to act as a vasoprotector and a pain reliever, its side effects are bad enough that they can totally wreck a personโ€™s career and livelihood.


Your long read of the week is from Alexandar Svetski, and is all about making childbearing and raising big families cool all over again:

We live in a new world, and there is no going back. The โ€˜tradsโ€™ have the correct moral compass, but they are often facing the wrong way, yearning for a โ€˜rvturnโ€™ to a time that will never fully come back.

The Internet, and in particular social media, has irreversibly changed everything, and this is only the beginning. We are still on โ€œDay 1โ€ of the digital era.

Day 1 also means that we need to cut ourselves (as a species) some slack. Like all new technologies, first contact is the discovery phase. Furthermore, as we learn to use the tools, both we and the tools we use change. This symbiosis between man and machine is not new. Technology changes us and we change it. Then as it changes us, we change it again, and so forth.

Cyberspace is the latest tool, and it comes with the power to incept ideas and create trends, faster than ever before.

This technology, this power, is available as much to us as it is to the goblins that have been using it in perverted ways. Our problem is that we havenโ€™t been using it properly: up until now, whatโ€™s been cool has been to show off your ass, tits and tattoos, or to virtue signal your allegiance to whatever woke agenda was the flavour of the month.

But recently, a new kind of cool has begun to emergeโ€ฆ

There are now very popular accounts featuring family life, pregnancy, etc., slowly making motherhood, fatherhood, family, relationships, natalism, and fertility cool again.


Linkage is good for you:

And some more from Dawn Pine:


MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOOOZHUN!!!

The Neo-Tsar met with the mothers and wives of men who have died fighting in the SMO last week, in what was surely an extremely emotional event for all concerned:

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>President Putin assures mothers of fallen soldiers that Russia will not yield on its terms for peace in Ukraine. <a href=”https://t.co/SYWcOywDoI”>pic.twitter.com/SYWcOywDoI</a></p>&mdash; Putin Direct (@PutinDirect) <a href=”https://twitter.com/PutinDirect/status/1898205288198815777?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>March 8, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

There is a particularly heartbreaking clip from this meeting, of a woman from the Far East, who signed up to serve in the SMO alongside her husband, in a different unit, as a medic. They served in the same sector of the front โ€“ and her husband died in the fighting. She was the one who found his body, and dragged him out of the rubble. She is now a widow, raising children, as well as a veteran:

<script async=”” src=”https://telegram.org/js/telegram-widget.js?22″ data-telegram-post=”InessaFromYoutube/8079″ data-width=”100%”></script>

That is the nature of the Russian people, against whom the entire West has once again aligned itself.

This is not a country the West can defeat.

Slayergod Remy aka MintBlitz does his thing while running down the latest content updates in the HALOverse:


BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

Also, The Cyan Man shows us all just why Space Marine 2 is PURE TESTOSTERONE INJECTED STRAIGHT INTO YOUR EYEBALLS:


Big Boyz Toyz

The Eyetie engineer with the great accent behind Millennium 7* HistoryTech analyses why the USAF is shrinking:

As he points out at the beginning, there is a perception that the USAF is the worldโ€™s greatest and most technologically advanced air force. It categorically is not, since it has never fought a true near-peer adversary in the past 50 years, and the availability rates of its fleet are absolutely abysmal. Nor is its technological edge particularly strong โ€“ the F-22 is an amazing piece of engineering, but its avionics are obsolete, and it cannot be upgraded, while the F-35 has a list of software bugs and glitches longer than my arm.

Meanwhile, the Russian Aerospace Forces are capable of flying over a hundred sorties EVERY SINGLE DAY, with a wide variety of aircraft that are specifically designed for their particular roles, across every aspect of modern air combat.

The Russians, not the Americans, now possess the worldโ€™s best military. That fact cannot be ignored any longer.


Oh No! Anywayโ€ฆ

Wazzocks gonna wazzock:


Comedy Hour

One from The Male Brain:


Meme Warfare

We begin with some dank memes from The Male Brain:

MAFF?
Even the documentary title – No Other Land – is stolen from a famous Israeli poem by Ehud Manor.
Efficiency

[Maybe Epstein should have conned customers into eating non-kosher food instead, then his sins would have been exposed in about 5 minutes… – Didact]

Go figure
She did not perform that good
Been there. “Temporary” = “Till someone stops it”

MAKES TOTAL SENSE. Also – only pay to get value!
Not 10, but high enough
Bring popcorn
By handling you may mean “death”
You can have both

[Which means the boulder rushing down to crush them, will be the God-Emperor himself – Didact]

RESPECT
Was probably higher in 2010-2020
SCHOOLED!
Shocking!
Good thing I’m not “most people”

And now, as LRFotS RobertW likes to say:


Animal Planet

LOTS of classic stuff this week, boys.


Rock Out With Your Glock Out


Thot Shots

And finally, after much cocking about, here is you Instathot for the start of the week. This is Miranda Sheliya (ะœะธั€ะฐะฝะดะฐ ะจะตะปะธั), age 32, from Rostov-on-Don, Mordor, though she is actually ethnically Georgian. She got tattoos (which pissed off her mother no end), alienated her Russian schoolmates by being an annoying Georgian nationalist, and then went to study law, before becoming a model.

She has been married twice, appears to have a kid, and currently spends her time travelling all over the various โ€œitโ€ spots of Europe and the Middle East. Apparently, she was quite strident about being Georgian when she was younger โ€“ and, if you look at her earlier pictures, you can tell, she looks distinctly like she is from the south Caucasus. But, in her modern pictures, she looks like your typical Russian Instathot 304.

So, as you can probably figure out, she has a Thot Quotient of 10 โ€“ DO NOT date, DO NOT wife up, simply admire from afar for being simultaneously attractive and a train-wreck.

OK, thatโ€™s all for today, now get your butt back to work.
