“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: Bubbles Edition

Glory, glory, hallelujah, it’s Friday again. I’ve spent large parts of the week trying to get a nationally recognised ID card sorted out. If you read my article about low-trust societies from a while back, you will quickly see that this is an exercise in...

Friday T&A: Mea Culpo Edition

And here we are again at another Friday, the close of another hot and sweltering and disgustingly humid week – at least, if you are where I am. Over here in the old country, temperatures are regularly hitting 40 degrees Celsius – that’s 104...

Friday T&A: Milkshakes Edition

Here we are at the end of another week – for some of you, a week of productive endeavour and happy days, and for others perhaps a week of yet more broken promises and cheap tricks by those you thought were trustworthy. That is the nature of the game, my friends;...

Friday T&A: Jessica Rabbit Edition

Well, here we are on another sweltering, humid, and downright disgustingly muggy Friday – or at least, we are where I am – and I have to say, I’m really glad the week is over. I have spent the last few days eyeballs-deep in Microsoft...

Friday T&A: Mudd Pie Edition

Friday T&A: London Calling Edition

Here we are at another Friday, and here in the old country, it is time for some serious electile dysfunction. For those of you who have had to sit through the circus that the Daemoncrats have been putting on for the past 4 (!!!!!) years, and counting, you will...

Friday T&A: Hope Edition

Here we are at another Friday, boys – the day after the 75th Anniversary of V-E Day, which is celebrated in Russia as День Победы, or “Victory Day”. Yesterday was a really big deal for the Russkies, given that they lost some 20...

Friday T&A: Blended Smoothie Edition

Well, here we are at another Friday, and I have to admit that it has been a rough week overall. Not necessarily for me personally, but for our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. We are under attack everywhere we go, and it is genuinely hard to maintain...

Friday T&A: Carly Cue Edition

Happy Good Friday to you all, my brothers. Today we remember the day that Our Lord fell upon the Cross, and it is a day for reverence and contemplation, to be sure. It is also a day to remember all that is good in this world. It is vitally important to remember that...
