“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.”

Friday T&A: Th1rt3en Edition

Today is, of course, Friday the Thirteenth, which for those of a superstitious bent is a Very Bad Day, because… reasons. This is being rather uncharitable to the history of Christendom, though, because Friday, October 13, 1307, was the day when the Order of the...

The latest release of roughly 3 million documents (thereabouts) from the so-called “Epstein Files” has landed like a hammerblow across much of the Western world, and with very good reason. The details contained in the emails – where they are not covered in black ink –...

Monday morning McQueening

The older I get, the faster the weekends seem to go by. No matter how much I sleep, or how many hours of video games I manage to squeeze in (which, to be fair, is not very many, not any more), there never seems to be enough Saturday to go around. And then it’s...

Longtime Readers will know quite well by now that I have a particular, special, and burning hatred of Microsoft, and with very good reason. I have been using Linux as my, uh, “daily driver”, as the kids these days insist on calling it, for… going on 18 years now, I...

Monday morning weary of Wakandans

Ah hell, it’s Monday again. The first Monday of February, too, which for my money is the single most depressing month of the year. The reason why is simple: you know spring is right around the corner, but there is still one more month of winter weather to endure, and...

Friday T&A: Wag the Dog Edition

Another week, another war about to kick off. We appear to be all set for a potential weekend bombing of Iran, because REASONS. Nobody seems to have the first clue why the Persians pose any kind of a threat to America, but Angry Short Trump appears determined to find...

ICE and snow jobs

I have thus far refrained from commenting in any significant way on the unrest in Minnesota, simply because I am not in the US any longer, and what happens there is of significantly lesser concern to me now than it used to be. Nonetheless, with the latest spate of...

Monday morning digestion demolition

Another week, another Monday, and another tedious effort to drag oneself out of bed and off to work. For those of you on the Eastern Seaboard of the US, today was probably particularly difficult, given the mother of all snowstorms apparently slammed into the country...
