“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.”
28 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will...
I am pleased to present another guest post from LRFotS Randale6. This is a little different from the other guest posts I have featured here. As you might expect from the title, it is rather more profane than my usual standard, but I have decided to preserve the...
For those of you who were paying attention to the NOOSE today, things went from what we might consider “regular crazy” to “batshit insane” in the space of a few hours. First came the news of MASSIVE, and I mean truly off-the-charts, Russian...
There has been quite a lot of hoopla about Princess Catherine of Wales in PommieBastardLande, who has apparently gone missing and been replaced by a not-very-convincing series of body doubles. The whole fracas started when the future Queen went in for abdominal...

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...
This stretch of the year, from very roughly March to April 5th, is perhaps the most momentous of any when it comes to making up excuses to celebrate things. We have International Women’s Day on March 8th; Pi Day on March 14th; Caesar Stabbification Day on March...
