“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.”

Lessons of War, Pt. 1: Red Storm Rising

Given the sabre-rattling going on in the South and especially East China Sea right now, it is worth asking whether the American military and its regional allies can do anything whatsoever to win a war against the world’s largest navy and second largest air...

Monday morning strictly come duncing

Monday = Suckage. It’s an equation with no known loopholes or exceptions. And of course, if you have to shuffle off to work today, it’s about 100x worse than normal. I am very happy to report that I don’t have to do that until next week, when I...

Sunday Scripture: The Sun Stands Still

10 As soon as Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua had captured Ai and had devoted it to destruction,[a] doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among...

Friday T&A: Coastal Breeze Edition

Greetings from the coast of sunny [redacted]!!! The weather is warm – even for early autumn – and the beach is beautiful. Or at least, I think it is – I can’t actually see it from where I’m sitting. But around here, the women are pretty...

Monday. WTF, man. And this one is worse than most, because the place where I’m staying has a very wonky bed. As a result, I have severe lower backache, which makes my usually delightful temperament even more… SUNNY than usual. It’s just a good thing...

Empire of lies

There has been a theory kicking around for the past year or so that the entire Scamdemic was, essentially, invented to prevent a truly Biblical meltdown in the world’s financial markets. The roots of this theory sit with the massive spike in repo market rates...

Monday morning misedjoomuhcayshun

Well, there goes that weekend – in my case, it zipped by in a haze of espresso and red wine, plus the strobe-light-and-pop-music delirium induced from a shopping mall gaming arcade. (Long story. Don’t ask.) And now we’re back to Monday, which…...
