“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.”

Sons and daughters

It is Father’s Day – well, for some countries outside of the USSA, that is – and that really should get a lot more notice than it actually does. Western “culture”, insofar as anyone can call it that, treats fathers, and men in general, as...

Friday T&A: Heavy Meddle Edition

This would have gone up sooner, if it were not for the fact that: a) I’m lazy, and b) for some strange reason, the idiots behind JetPack “upgraded” (read: BROKE) their plugin for WordPress, thereby resulting in images not rendering properly. If you...

Mondays are genuinely tough days – as I found out this morning, when I woke up cranky and short on sleep, due to very humid weather last night. So I went through most of the day lacking concentration or motivation to do very much of anything. As you can see,...

Friday T&A: Leopard Hunting Edition

As any fule kno by now – or at least, one who has been paying attention – the much-vaunted German Leopard 2A6 tanks are now burning on the steppes of Ukraine. The Khreat Khokholite Khumvee Khounteroffensive khommenced last Sunday, but so far, it appears to...

Everyone has no doubt heard by now about the destruction of the Novaya Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, or Kakhovskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant (KHPP). The result was pretty much what you might expect – a big-ass wall of water rushing downstream and flooding towns...

Don’t put Pajeets in charge

The whole “Pajeet” meme is a hilariously offensive term used to refer to Indians (or, more generally, people of Indian origin), originally coined as a specific racial insult that has since expanded somewhat in meaning. These days, tech types use it to...
The history we need to relearn

The history we need to relearn

There is a lot one can say about D-Day – the courage, the heroism, the terrible hardships endured by those men on the landing craft as they waited to storm the beaches of Normandy. There was every possible chance it could all have gone very, very badly wrong. In...
