“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.”
Earlier this month, we saw the announcement that AstraZeneca had withdrawn their adenovirus-vector Convid not-vaxx. The technical name for it is “AZD1222”, or “ChAdOx1 nCoV-19” – try saying that five times fast – but the rest of us...
I find myself watching Starship Troopers – the 1997 Paul Verhoeven film – once again, for reasons that rather escape me at the moment. The interesting thing about that movie is, provided you ignore the title, it is actually a pretty decent, stupid, cheesy,...

29 And Job again took up his discourse, and said: 2 “Oh, that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me,3 when his lamp shone upon my head, and by his light I walked...
I am pleased to present another thought-provoking guest post from LRFotS Randale6, who has made good on his plan to leave the FUSA, and is now somewhere in the wilds of Asia. Which, it must be said, relative to the cultural and political disaster that is the FUSA...
