“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.”
Just a quick one today, lads, as it has been a long day of… well, walking around aimlessly in the glorious and all-too-rare sunshine while trying, and failing utterly, to sort out arse from elbow and get organised for an indoor skiing session. (Why be indoors in...
The latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a look at the collapsing Western empire. I discuss the ways in which the West is getting worse and worse – to the point where Western nations can barely figure out how to keep the lights on...
Here we go again, yet another Monday to drag ourselves through and beyond… Fortunately, where I am, it is a public holiday. Unfortunately, putting one of these compilations together tends to take quite a long time, so a lot of that free time gets chewed up...

Well, it’s Monday again, and if I can somehow write that without sounding despondent and bored at the same time, then that alone will be a minor victory for the day. Days like today are just a reminder as to why weekends are so great, and so important. Of...
20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early and gathered the officials of the city and went up to the house of the Lord. 21 And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the...
The phrase, “escalations escalator”, was first coined sometime last year by Alexander Mercouris, whose videos I consider a daily must-watch for a powerful (if prolix – but look who’s writing) overview of current events and geopolitics. He...
Gents, have you ever had one of those days where you had grand plans to do all sorts of useful and impressive things, and it all came down to taking a 2hr nap on the couch? Well, that was pretty much my day today. The fact is, we all need days to just sit and vegetate...
