“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.”
Much ink has been spilled over the last few days in the wake of the meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between the Ukrainian and American delegations. After that long meeting on Monday – which apparently lasted something like eight hours – the two parties issued a joint...
Two days ago, the Russian Ministry of Defence officially announced the full liberation (or recapture, if you prefer) of the town of Sudzha, in the Kursk region of Russia. The collapse of the Ukrainian defence forces in the region brought to a near-end what has to be...
It is serendipitous indeed when we get a Friday Pi Day. Indeed, by my reckoning, the last time that happened, was 11 years ago. Given this most beloved series did not start up until 2016, it is fair to say that was a MAJOR missed opportunity. Since we are all about...
Today is Pi Day, and that will mean precisely NOTHING to the 99.14159265897% of you who are not, for some strange reason, tickled by numerological nitwittery, the way maths majors (like me) are. Of course, I can hardly blame you for this. Irrational constants like π...
“Welcome to Monday” – said literally nobody, ever. And anybody who DOES say it, deserves a mouthful of knuckles, because Monday is like that horrible stain on the carpet that you cannot get out, no matter HOW hard you scrub. It ALWAYS shows up, and...

We all hate Amazog around here, and with good reason – they phuck up almost EVERY good IP they touch. But, with Warhammer 40K, they have actually done a LOT of things very, very right. Take Secret Level, the mini-series that wraps around parts of the lore. Episode 5,...
LRFotS JohnC911 had an interesting open-ended question about Scripture, starting with Genesis 3, particularly focused on the nature and role of the serpent that tempted Eve: Hey Didactic, I have a question for you?Since you believe in Jesus Christ is the Son of God...
The title of today’s poast is basically a callback to a legendary – or, uh, not legendary, if you’ve never heard of it – album by the black metal band, DIMMU BORGIR. Now, I realise this is basically a niche subject for non-metalheads, but there...
Monday again – as horrid as it is inevitable. It is especially bad, of course, if you have to start your week with a series of impossible demands on your time from multiple groups of people – which is the case for far too many of us. This is also known as...
