“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.”
For the past 20 years or so, much of the heated commentary in the West about the rise of China, focused breathlessly on the idea that the Communist Party of China (CPC) wants to replace the US dollar with the reminbi/yuan. There are quite a few things wrong with this...
Well that weekend zipped by far too quickly – though it certainly was an enjoyable one, at least for me. I was able to see a great band play live on Friday night, and as a consequence, quite happily lost most of my vocal range the next day. The older I get,...
Yes, this one is unusually late, but I actually do have a good excuse. (Sort of.) I was at a concert earlier this week, and that kind of left me quite zonked yesterday. Turns out, jumping up and down like a maniac for two hours and screaming yourself hoarse, after an...

Most of us cannot be arsed to follow the drama and nonsense of the “fitness influencer” world. We can hardly be blamed for this, given how absurd the whole thing is. As far as I can tell, that entire scene consists of roided-out meatheads pretending they are natural...
I realise this is rather late, but given that most of my ‘Murkin readers are still attempting (probably unsuccessfully) to digest their gigantic meal on Thanksgiving day, I rather doubt anyone particularly gives a flying proverbial. Indeed, as far as those...
So much for the weekend – it just plain whizzed by. However, I doubt my American readers are particularly fussed, because this week is going to be, for them, a half-week, at best. That is because the annual tradition of Thanksgiving is right around the corner....
