“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 Red Alerts

Monday morning Red Alerts

Well, I don’t necessarily feel that way, since my commute to work is all of about 10 feet – for extreme introverts like me, the Coof was a huge blessing in disguise, because it permanently shifted the world away from commuting to the office, and over to a...

Friday T&A: Cranking the Handle Edition

Yes, I know, I’m a day late with this one, but I have been spectacularly unmotivated to write for a few days. It took me a while to get around to posting that long one about how one Jacob Dreizin has so thoroughly misunderstood the origins of the Christian...
