Friday T&A: Redback Funnel-Web Drop Bear Edition

Didact — Sat, 30 May 2026 12:45:23 +0000

Nothing deep or meaningful comes to mind at this particular moment – it has been a long and difficult week, for a number of reasons, so we’ll keep it short and get straight to the closing thot to entertain us as we approach (or are in) the weekend. This here is Jayde Pollard, age 21 […]

Monday morning song of freedom

Didact — Mon, 25 May 2026 15:35:28 +0000

Today is a holiday Monday for many – including myself, and including the heathen rebel colonials who insist on spelling everything incorrectly and using those ridiculous imperial units of theirs. But it is a particularly special kind of holiday Over There. Today is Memorial Day, and it is special precisely because it is the day […]

Sunday Scripture: The Bronze Serpent

Didact — Sun, 24 May 2026 20:25:39 +0000

4 From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. 5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we […]

Some light entertainment

Didact — Sun, 24 May 2026 20:21:03 +0000

Times are dark, and they appear to get darker with every passing moment. But, even in these difficult moments, we can all enjoy the spectacle of Zioclowns trying to justify themselves, and being taken apart on live television: It really says a lot that, even with heavy editing, and lots of interruptions, the Jewish host […]

Friday T&A: Change Constant Edition

Didact — Sun, 24 May 2026 20:20:36 +0000

WordPress released an all-new version earlier this week. Having been away from writing for most of it, I am only now getting to grips with the changes. I have to say, the overall interface looks MUCH better. The higher-contrast colour schemes work better, it seems to be quite a lot faster, and the feel of […]

The United States of AIPAC

Didact — Sun, 24 May 2026 11:59:16 +0000

The latest sign that Ornj Boi has basically gone full neoclown, came with the loss of Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky in his primary battle against someone named “Ed Gallrein”, whose name no one seems to be able to pronounce, and of whom no one had ever heard prior to this particular race. Massie lost […]

Monday morning fusion dance

Didact — Mon, 18 May 2026 22:47:05 +0000

Well, we all somehow survived another series of Trumper Tantrums – though they were more muted than usual, in part because Ornj Boi swanned off to meet the New Huangdi of the Middle Kingdom. By all accounts, that visit was – to quote Macbeth – a tale of sound and fury, signifying nothing, told by […]

Sunday Scripture: The People Complain

Didact — Sun, 17 May 2026 23:14:13 +0000

11 And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. 2 Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died down. 3 So the name of that place was called Taberah,[a] because the fire of […]

Totally F/A-XXKED

Didact — Sun, 17 May 2026 23:10:43 +0000

Northrop Grumman recently released a video of the proposed F/A-XX naval fighter concept – the one that is supposedly going to replace the F-35 Joint Strike Flying Piano Morris Marina Turducken – and all one can say about it is that American military contractors sure do know how to hire good VFX artists: The Ameribro […]

The Scouring of the Shire

Didact — Sat, 16 May 2026 23:23:23 +0000

That picture you see up top is the outcome of a countrywide series of local or council elections across a dark, dank, rainy, soggy, moss-covered, foggy, depressing, mildewed, bankrupt rock in the North Atlantic, called PommieBastardLande – also known as the United Kingdom of (Once-)Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Its people – or at least, […]
