Monday morning doxology

Didact — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 23:02:27 +0000

The weekend sure went by awfully quickly. I should say that it was a special weekend for our Orthodox friends over there in the eastern churches, since they celebrate Easter on a different Sunday than the western ones do. The reason why has to do with the technical details of the difference between the old […]

Friday T&A: Dire Straits Edition

Didact — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 20:37:31 +0000

We have gone from all-out war and threats of civilisation-ending destruction, to a ceasefire-that-isn’t, despite the best efforts of Cheetoh-Man to pretend that it is active, and that the Strait of Hormuz is open. It is not. The reality is that the Strait is closed, definitively, and the Iranians are thoroughly in control. The war […]

Happy TACO Tuesday, everyone!

The news broke very late last night (my time, and Iranian time, though it was probably at around 7pm EST) that Angry Short Fat Trump had, at almost the very last minute, called off the so-called “civilisation-ending” strikes against Iran’s infrastructure, power plants, bridges, and oil and gas refineries. This followed days, if not weeks, […]

This is not Trump

The TROOF SOWSHUL post you see above is real. I could not believe it when I saw it on Telegram, at first – I thought it must have been some sort of hoax. But it is a real, verified, actual TROOF from Ornj Boi’s own account. I had to go check it when I saw […]

Monday morning Easter egging

Didact — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:12:54 +0000

So much for Easter weekend… it went by WAY too fast. I hope you all enjoyed the time with family and friends, and were able to celebrate the Passion and Resurrection of Our Lord. (For our Orthobros – I hope you enjoyed Palm Sunday, you guys get your turn next Sunday.) But all good things […]

Sunday Scripture: The Resurrection

Didact — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 08:41:19 +0000

28 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing […]

“What is truth?”

Didact — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 20:50:02 +0000

33 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests […]

It’s COMRADE Didact, you capitalist running dogs

Didact — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 14:00:00 +0000

I got a comment the other day on the Telegram channel, during a lively and spirited discussion about the merits of the metric system, when our resident Kraut shoved his liverwurst in and said, basically: You know Metric Mind Virus (MMV) is bad, when it has our humble host defending the commies… Well… you know […]

Monday morning memory lane

Didact — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 22:44:29 +0000

The weekend is over, and the blight of Daylight Savings Time has now fully hit the Western world. I have never understood the point of this particularly stupid idea, which robs us all of an hour of badly-needed sleep, and ruins the natural progression of the seasons. As C. S. Lewis once wrote to his […]

Sunday Scripture: The Triumphal Entry

Didact — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 23:07:33 +0000

11 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus[a] sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, […]
