“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.”
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it. — Paul-Muad’dib Atreides, from DUNE by Frank Herbert The “Large-Scale Military Operation”, or “Special Combat Operation”, that most of us now dub Operation: AIPAC F***-UP, is now in its 29th...
It would appear that the damage to the global economy from the insane (((Small-Hat))) war in the Middle East is approaching critical levels. Europe is sleepwalking into a nightmare, and its leaders are only now beginning to face up to the true horrors of the...
There has been an interesting video going viral of late, from the channel BantuCityDiaries, which looks at the rather disheartening results of an impromptu IQ test administered to the residents of Nigeria’s capitol city, Lagos. The video is worth watching just for the...
So we all managed to survive the weekend – just about – and Drumpf just pulled off a pretty impressive TACO play today. I suppose we should all be thankful for that – and, indeed, it is a VERY GOOD THING that he backed off on his frankly unhinged...
Well, the war in Iran grinds on, with no clear end in sight. By all appearances, Ornj Boi is desperate to get the hell out of a quagmire of his own choosing, which he NEVER should have started in the first place, and which all the evidence indicates Israel forced him...

Today is, of course, every alcoholic’s favourite non-holiday, which essentially seems to involve drinking vast quantities of beer while wearing something green and speaking with an outrageously bad Oirish accent. No doubt the good people of Ireland find all of that...
So much for the weekend – not, of course, that this one was particularly good. The Axis of Epstein continues to drive the world screaming over a cliff with jagged rocks at the bottom of a VERY LOOOOOOOOOONG drop. Oil prices are headed to well over US$100/bbl....
LRFotS Bardelys the Magnificent once commented, a few years ago – I think – that March is a fun month, because you get all the silly holidays packed into the space of a few days. We start with Pi Day, then the Ides of March – aka “Caesar Stabbification Day” – and then...
For the MAFF NERZ among us, today is, of course, Pi Day, which is a far better fake holiday than pretty much any other you care to name. In my personal opinion, it is a better day than Valentine’s Day, Star Wars Day, and… Oh, wait, I forgot, today is ALSO Steak &...
