“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.”

Monday morning mech warfare

Monday morning mech warfare

Ugh. Monday is back again, along with the horrid stink that accompanies it – two parts armpit, one part jockstrap. (This is also known as “eau de Secaucus” – large parts of New Jersey have a permanent “Monday stench” to them, after...
Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord

Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord

Some of you might be familiar with a chap named Billy Carson, who runs a YouTube channel called “4biddenknowledge Podcast Network”, or something like that. He purports to investigate the hidden secrets of the ancient past, looking at documents that various religious...
Friday T&A: Down with the Sickness Edition

Friday T&A: Down with the Sickness Edition

This has NOT been a good week for me – hell, it has not been a good YEAR for me, full stop. It all started on December 23rd, when we contracted a gnarly case of food poisoning, via – of all things – a dodgy kebab. So Christmas was not exactly very...

Domain Query: Clown College degrees

Despite being stricken with what feels like (but isn’t… probably) bird flu, I finally managed to get around to addressing a rather interesting query from LRFotS Randale6, who wrote in to ask about the monumental illiteracy and idiocy of Clown World: Didact, looking...

When REKTallica had a real drummer

For years, I have been VERY harsh about one Larzzzz Ulrich, founder, drummer, and leader of Metallica – a band that I consider to be hugely overhyped and overrated. That being said, there was a time, back in my teens, when I did listen quite a bit to their...
Monday morning Argy-bargy

Monday morning Argy-bargy

Well, the holidays were fun while they lasted – which did not feel like anywhere NEAR long enough. That might have to do with the fact that, for me at least, a LARGE part of those holidays coincided with a rather severe (but mercifully short) case of food...

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there...
Didactic Mind, Ep 121: A Time For Renewal

Didactic Mind, Ep 121: A Time For Renewal

The very first podcast of 2025 is up, in which I talk through some of the lessons learned in the preceding year, and some of the possible outcomes these lessons will dictate in the current one. I discuss how the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic has completely reshaped...
Friday T&A: Agent Natasha Edition

Friday T&A: Agent Natasha Edition

We are barely three days into 2025, and already it is shaping up to be a most consequential and probably crazy year – crazier, if anything, than the past three combined. I certainly hope I am wrong about that. But, given what we have seen since, oh, about early...
