“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 MAFF meltdown

by | Apr 27, 2026 | Mondays | 0 comments

Wa-hey, we are BACK with the Monday poast! Last week turned out to be ludicrously busy, and I simply could not be arsed to take the 3 or so hours that it requires to assemble one of these, in a single sitting. That means, of course, that we have an awful lot of catching up to do, which is precisely what you get down below. This weeks Great Mondaydact Browser Melter is at least 50% meltier than usual, and that is a GOOD Thing.

This week, we start with everyone’s least favourite subject – except for me, because I actually quite enjoy this:


#BasedTucker is Based


Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain gets things moving this week with a solid repertoire of materials โ€“ starting with stuff from last week, when I didnโ€™t have a chance to poast it all up:

Plus, some comic timing:


Mind-Expanding Drugs


Death Smiles At Us All…


Culture Beats


Warriors of Faith


Manly Men of Manliness


Bad Medicine


Veteransโ€™ Day


Judgeโ€™s Ruling
