“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 space battleships

So much for the weekend – not, of course, that this one was particularly good. The Axis of Epstein continues to drive the world screaming over a cliff with jagged rocks at the bottom of a VERY LOOOOOOOOOONG drop. Oil prices are headed to well over US$100/bbl. Angry Short Fat Trump cannot stop TROOFING about things, and all we have to amuse ourselves is the very obviously AI Nuttanyahoo pretending to be alive and ordering coffee in Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, there are already signs of gas rationing and shortages in Pakistan and India, and the fallout from all of this is going to hit the West, HARD, over the coming weeks, as the energy crunch really hits home.

And all of this for a bunch of insane eschatologically challenged Scripturally ignorant (((Small Hats))).

It is enough to make one want to take up drinking as a profession, really.

Fortunately, I suppose, that is why we have the Great Mondaydact Browser Killer.

Now, over the weekend, SABATON dropped a new track, to round out their “Sea Monsters” trio – that’s what I’m calling it, anyway:

And that got me thinking, as such things often do, about the great Japanese anime shows of the past. (Yes, my mind works in odd ways.)

One of those great anime shows was, of course, Space Battleship Yamato. So let’s all take a stroll down a SERIOUS memory lane, and remember what made it good fun to begin with:

    Sell your soul and do what you’re told?
    NEIN!
