“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.”

Happy National Overeating Day

Happy National Overeating Day

As my Heathen Rebel Colonist friends know quite well, today is Thanksgiving in the United States of America, and that is definitely something worth celebrating and acknowledging. As I have noted many times, Thanksgiving was always my favourite American holiday while I...

Falling hazel nuts

The (non-radioactive) fallout from last week’s “Oreshnik” strike on the giant, sprawling Yuzhmash plant in Dniepropetrovsk is still working its way through the collective West’s rather constipated intellectual systems. In public, Western officials are saying all sorts...

Monday morning classic car crashes

Monday is here again to blight us all with unhappiness and misery as we contemplate yet another long and dreary working week. For my American readers, of course, it is not so bad, because they get to celebrate National Turkey and Food Coma Day – also known as...

The rods of God

Very early in the morning of Thursday, November 21, 2024, the skies above the Banderastani (for now) city of Dniepropetrovsk opened up for a few moments, and a hail of what looked like nothing less than Zeus’s own lightning bolts, slammed into the ground. They hit the...

Friday T&A: Hazel Grove Edition

The last 48 hours have seen the world move in ways that nobody expected at the beginning of the week. The Russians deployed a new weapon that they call “Oreshnik” (Орешник), which translates as “Hazel Grove”, and which is basically an...
To boldly go…

To boldly go…

I will readily admit that I am not a big fan of Star Trek. Growing up, I was always into STAR WARS, and that continued well into adulthood. Inevitably, of course, both franchises eventually shat their respective beds – I would argue that Trek did it before Wars, but...

Euthanising a big cat

Gentlemen, what do you think of when you hear the word, “JAGUAR”? Specifically, what do you think when you hear the word in connection with motoring? If you are anything like me – or most red-blooded men – you think of classic British car...

Monday morning airshow acrobatics

Monday is back again, and it has been a LONG one for yours truly. When you are up against it for a project deadline, that means everything else takes a back seat. And that really sucks if you happen to have work to do over the weekend… But bitching and moaning won’t...
Sunday Scripture: Jesus Appears to the Disciples

Sunday Scripture: Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews,[c] Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side....

Friday T&A: All the President’s Men Edition

With the Presidential Cabinet rapidly filling out, it seems we are in for a highly entertaining time between now and January 2025. So we have that much going for us, at least. As for whether anything good will come out of it all – well, we shall see. In the...
