“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.”
Well, there goes the weekend, again. On the minus side, it was, of course, WAY too damn short. On the plus side, spring is DEFINITELY here, and that is my absolute favourite season of the year. It is a time of renewal and growth, where the days are getting longer, the...
Today is apparently the single biggest excuse for going out and getting absolutely HAMMERED, because it is St. Patrick’s Day. From what I gather, this is an historical celebration of the death of the eponymous saint, who arrived on the Emerald Isle some 1600...
1 After the death of Saul, when David had returned from striking down the Amalekites, David remained two days in Ziklag. 2 And on the third day, behold, a man came from Saul’s camp, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. And...
The Didactic Mind podcast is FINALLY back, after a long hiatus due to… well, sheer laziness, mostly, and a real lack of desire to talk about much of the craziness around us. Nonetheless, recent events in the West and Russia have made a podcast necessary to...
As I mentioned yesterday, this particular stretch of the year is great for oddball made-up holidays. Today is, of course, Caesar Stabbification Day, in which the legendary Roman general and dictator failed to heed the words of the soothsayer, and went to the Senate to...

Well, it’s Monday again, and honestly, after just a few hours of this crap, I’m DONE for the day. It is nothing particularly bad, but when you have dreary weather, colleagues who can’t get their shit together, and looming project deadlines, it all...
24 [a] When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.” 2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the...
I am most pleased to present another compelling and thought-provoking guest post from LRFotS Randale6, who is evidently wrestling with the question of what is true, and who, among the various world religions, is right and correct. As such, he has written what is...
