“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.”
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...
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...

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...

We have successfully killed off another year, and what a bonkers year it was. While poasting for this most beloved series of the site was rather more constrained than I would have liked – due in part to considerable amounts of travel and work that I had in 2024,...
As we have successfully killed off another year, and we are now all struggling to return to normal after the Christmas season of traditional overeating and overindulgence, it is time for us to greet the New Year by returning to that most sacred and hallowed temple of...
Here we are at last, the very last instalment of this much-loved series – for the year of 2024, anyway. Given how difficult it is getting to find natural and attractive talent, even among the Slavic Instathot crowd, one does have to wonder how much longer I can...
Happy Christmas, brothers and sisters. May the peace and blessings of Our Lord be with you and your loved ones on this most holy and sacred of days – the day when we celebrate the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. Before I continue, I must apologise to my readers for...
