Monday morning doxology

Didact — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 23:02:27 +0000

The weekend sure went by awfully quickly. I should say that it was a special weekend for our Orthodox friends over there in the eastern churches, since they celebrate Easter on a different Sunday than the western ones do. The reason why has to do with the technical details of the difference between the old […]

Monday morning Easter egging

Didact — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:12:54 +0000

So much for Easter weekend… it went by WAY too fast. I hope you all enjoyed the time with family and friends, and were able to celebrate the Passion and Resurrection of Our Lord. (For our Orthobros – I hope you enjoyed Palm Sunday, you guys get your turn next Sunday.) But all good things […]

Monday morning memory lane

Didact — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 22:44:29 +0000

The weekend is over, and the blight of Daylight Savings Time has now fully hit the Western world. I have never understood the point of this particularly stupid idea, which robs us all of an hour of badly-needed sleep, and ruins the natural progression of the seasons. As C. S. Lewis once wrote to his […]

Monday morning pander bear

Didact — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 23:39:16 +0000

So we all managed to survive the weekend – just about – and Drumpf just pulled off a pretty impressive TACO play today. I suppose we should all be thankful for that – and, indeed, it is a VERY GOOD THING that he backed off on his frankly unhinged threat to bomb Iran’s power plants. […]

Monday morning space battleships

Didact — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 23:59:23 +0000

So much for the weekend – not, of course, that this one was particularly good. The Axis of Epstein continues to drive the world screaming over a cliff with jagged rocks at the bottom of a VERY LOOOOOOOOOONG drop. Oil prices are headed to well over US$100/bbl. Angry Short Fat Trump cannot stop TROOFING about […]

Monday morning crude awakening

Didact — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 22:47:04 +0000

Well, it is Monday, and amazingly, somehow, we managed to make it through the weekend without a Trumper Tantrum setting off a nuclear war. And actually, there are signs that, as of today, Ornj Boi is considering VERY STRONGLY!!! simply declaring victory and going home, after accomplishing basically DICK-ALL in Iran, other than killing the […]

Monday morning under the sea

Didact — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 23:37:56 +0000

So the war we have all been waiting for, and dreading, finally kicked off over the weekend, and already the evidence is clear that the US and Israel are losing – badly. This was NOT what we all needed after the weekend, at all, but it seems as though the inmates running the asylum in […]

Monday morning defence of the Fatherland

Didact — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 23:47:31 +0000

Another week dawns upon us, but I have to say, it does seem as though the cold grip of winter has finally loosened. Where I am, the temperature is rising, the sun is coming up at a reasonable hour, the days are getting longer, and there is a definite sense of spring in the air. […]

Monday morning with George Dubya

Didact — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:14:09 +0000

The weekends go by way too damn fast, it must be said. Still and all, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, at least we only have another two weeks of winter to go – unless that uppity groundhog over in Punxsutawney has something to say about it. I gather it is a holiday […]

Monday morning McQueening

Didact — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:06:01 +0000

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 Sunday, […]
