“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.”

Graveyard nation

Graveyard nation

The picture you see above, comes from an item that crossed my Telegram feed yesterday. You can read for yourself what the numbers say. A little MAFF will tell you that Ukraine now has effectively about 1.1 MILLION dead – most of those listed “Missing in Action” are,...
Friday T&A: Switch Flip Edition

Friday T&A: Switch Flip Edition

The events of the past 10 days or so have shown, as I said last week, that the polarisation in Western society simply cannot be healed. There is no reconciliation possible. Cancel culture has come for the Left, and they are absolutely losing their minds about it. Like...
When a comedian takes up music

When a comedian takes up music

Most musicians that you watch playing on stage, generally have a lot of fun doing their thing. Perhaps the major exception was the late, great, dearly missed Neil Peart – aka “the guy who taught God how to play the drums”. We RUSH fans called him...

Monday morning Eyetie approvals

The weekend that just passed, was not fun, or easy. Charlie Kirk’s assassination cast a dark and terrible pall over everything. As I wrote after it happened, many of us had a very clear sense that something fundamental had snapped in the West, and there was simply no...

There is no putting Humpty Dumpty back together again

The assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday landed like a hammer-blow for all of us on the Right. It is difficult to describe what I felt when I saw the news flash up that he had been shot. I saw the video of the moment when the bullet hit him, and the blood gushed...

Friday T&A: Uncivil War Edition

I go away for a couple of weeks, and look what happens… The world goes straight to Hell. To be fair, though, the Western world, at least, had chosen that course long before I started planning my vacation to Mordor (which was, in general, quite good fun, though...
The tragedy of the lost generation

The tragedy of the lost generation

My generation grew up during a sharp transition from peace, to war. Or at least, it seemed like a peaceful world, at the time, when I were a wee lad in Asia. It was a world of plenty, opportunity, optimism, and hope. That world died 24 years ago. I have said for quite...
Monday morning spacetime singularities

Monday morning spacetime singularities

We are finally back up and running after a long, LONG hiatus – two weeks went by pretty damned fast, and I have to say, I feel quite good after my recent trip to Mordor. It was not without its troubles and difficulties – any trip to that part of the world, these days,...
Friday T&A: Mile-High Club Edition

Friday T&A: Mile-High Club Edition

By the time you are reading this, I will likely be flying somewhere at around 10,000 metres, because humanity still has not invented effective human teleportation, and therefore I am forced to suffer the indignity of blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal...
Summer hiatus

Summer hiatus

As you can probably tell from the complete lack of poasting this week, I have been extremely busy and nearly totally unable to concentrate on much of anything else. The keen-eyed among you will note that the usual Great Mondaydact Browser Blaster is nowhere to be...
