“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.”

The Didact’s Best Books of 2024

It took me quite a while to get around to writing this best-of poast, mostly because I was lazy about it, but I think there are several books I came across last year which are well worth mentioning. If you click on either the subheading or the title image for each...

The Best of Friday T&A 2024

We have successfully killed off another year, and what a bonkers year it was. While poasting for this most beloved series of the site was rather more constrained than I would have liked – due in part to considerable amounts of travel and work that I had in 2024,...

The Best of Friday T&A 2023

Has it been a year already? That sure whizzed by damned fast. It seems like only a few months ago that I put up the 2022 edition of this compilation, which every year looks back at the lovely ladies poasted over at this very ‘eavy, very ‘umble site. This...

The Didact’s Best Books of 2023

This year was another quite slow one for me in terms of reading. I think I managed to finish off 11 books in all – which is not a particularly impressive achievement, given what I used to manage. It is clear to me that my ability to concentrate for long periods...

The Didact’s Best Albums of 2023

Surprisingly, this year I did not listen to much by way of really new heavy metal – nor did I listen to all that many metal albums. But the ones I DID listen to, were in many cases really damn good. Here are the top albums I heard in 2023. 1. VISION DENIED...

It is difficult to believe just how fast 2022 whizzed by, but here we are – the very last day of the year, which means a post packed full of lovely ladies celebrating the very best of the past 12 months. Feel free to vote for your favourite down in the comments...

The Didact’s Best Albums of 2022

This year was a pretty big one for new music, judging by what I saw of various bands that I follow across YouTube, but oddly enough, I didn’t really listen to a whole lot of new metal albums. I tend to be pretty snobbish when it comes to metal, mostly because I...
