“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.”

Sunday Scripture: More Sayings of the Wise

23 These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging is not good.24 Whoever says to the wicked, “You are in the right,”    will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,25 but those who rebuke the wicked will have...
The modern Church has failed us

The modern Church has failed us

Last week’s Great Mondaydact Browser Smasher appears to have triggered some thoughtful commentary among Ye Olde Faithfule on the subject of marriage and matrimony. Specifically, there was some very good discussion around how being a Christian, by itself, is absolutely...

Broken WinDOZE theory

Microsoft Windows 10 reached its end-of-life date 11 days ago, on October 14, and that means most of you who are NOT on Linux right now, have absolutely no choice but to upgrade your machines and/or install WinDOZE 11. This is a much worse deal than you might think....

Friday T&A: On Again Off Again Edition

The past week has been a classic study in chickenhawk politics, courtesy of Ornj Boi. He cannot quite seem to make up his mind as to whether he wants to talk with the Neo-Tsar to find a solution to the 404 War, or not. A week ago, it seemed as though Drumpf and The...

Monday morning slop-serving

Another week, another Monday, and another attempt to grin and bear it while showing up to put in as little effort as possible to ensure you get paid at the end of the month. At least, that is how most of us see the day, and with, admittedly, very good reason. Mondays...

Life at the inflection point

Life at the inflection point

Once you reach a certain age, you have to come face-to-face with some hard realisations – that your life has not panned out quite the way you wanted it; that half of it is over, and you might not have anything to show for it; and that, despite your best efforts, you...
Peace goulash

Peace goulash

The news that broke yesterday about the YUGE, very beautiful, really amazing call, the most amazing discussion, the greatest conversation ever, between Ornj Boi and the Neo-Tsar, done VERY STRONGLY, was welcome, up to a point. We then got from it a TROOF from Drumpf...

Friday T&A: VERY STRONGLY Edition

It is rather challenging these days to keep up with Ornj Boi’s increasingly erratic and, frankly, unhinged public statements. He has definitely degraded considerably from what he was 8 years ago. And that is, perhaps, unsurprising. After all, he IS pretty much...
All bone and no steak

All bone and no steak

For the carnivores amongst us (which is, basically, every single person who reads this site, because we absolutely, positively, 100% DO NOT tolerate vegans around here), you know what a “tomahawk steak” is. Simply put, it is a ribeye steak with the long bone of the...
