Why we cannot stop poking the Bear

Didact — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 22:30:47 +0000

LRFotS Abeer Yusless provided an interesting musing to my recent poast, about how woefully and inadequately prepared the Western military leadership class is for an actual, really-for-real shooting war with the ROOSKEES: It’s a shame that so many in the west feel the need to treat Russia with such disdain and contempt. There’s no reason […]

Monday morning song and dance routine

Didact — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 22:34:56 +0000

Whoever it was that said the four-day work week increases employee satisfaction without compromising productivity, may have been onto something, because I think we can all agree that the two-day weekend is way too damn short. You’ve just about gotten used to the idea of relaxing and resting a bit, only to have work rudely […]

Sunday Scripture: Josiah’s Reforms

23 Then the king sent, and all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem were gathered to him. 2 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and with him all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the prophets, all the people, both small and great. And […]

A weak mean has brought extremely hard times

Didact — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 23:27:28 +0000

We all know that old saying about what I will call – for lack of a better term – “the cycle of times”. It is a simple and effective encapsulation of well-received and time-tested wisdom: Looking at how Ornj Boi has gone about things in his second term, I am forced to ask an uncomfortable […]

Friday T&A: Word to the Weiss Edition

Didact — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 23:14:26 +0000

The clown car crash that is the Drumpf White House continues, with the hiring and firing, in record time, of the latest Press Secretary. It is amusing, in a rather sordid way, though the internal chaos in the current Administration really just reflects how disjointed and disconnected the policies are. And that, unfortunately, is a […]

When MBAs play soldier

Didact — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 13:45:37 +0000

Alexus Grynkewich is not exactly a household name for most people. Nor should he be. He is the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, effectively the second highest-ranking military officer in the entire NATO structure. That is a post once held by no less a person than General (and eventual President) Dwight D. Eisenhower. Gen. Grynkewich recently […]

Monday morning chop-socky

Didact — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 22:33:18 +0000

Once again, the weekend arrived, and once again it disappeared in almost no time flat. We are yet again confronted by the awful spectacle of Monday, wherein we must somehow gather the enthusiasm – almost all of it faked – to grind through yet another workday. Fortunately, that is why we have the Great Mondaydact […]

Friday T&A: Fuelled Edition

Didact — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:31:56 +0000

Yes, this is late again, and that is because I was at a concert on Friday, and then spent most of Saturday recovering. If you have ever been to a death metal concert – never mind a Viking death metal concert – you know how much that takes out of you, especially as you get […]

Triple-A gaming deserves to die

Didact — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 23:28:01 +0000

The latest triple-A game to launch and faceplant, HARD, has been, of course, Gears of War: E-Day. The independent media has been full of news about just how bad things have gotten for that game – and, weirdly enough, this is one game where the backlash is, at first glance, very strange. Apparently, this is […]

We deserve better psyops

Didact — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 23:14:11 +0000

Over the past few days, we have all been subjected to a veritable barrage of FEAR-PR0N. It started with stories about an Omani pilot suddenly going all JIHAAAAAAAAD and suffering a premature detonation (of sorts) on a Flydubai flight to Izzrael. To be slightly more precise (and a tad less flippant), essentially, a chap named […]
