Monday morning DOOMscrolling

Didact — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 23:00:19 +0000

There goes the weekend, and now we are back on the front lines of Monday, yet again. One can rather sympathise with Sisyphus, really. I must say, it was a pretty decent weekend, considering how much of it I spent asleep, but that is admittedly not “normal” for most people, I suppose. That being said, […]

Monday morning song of freedom

Didact — Mon, 25 May 2026 15:35:28 +0000

Today is a holiday Monday for many – including myself, and including the heathen rebel colonials who insist on spelling everything incorrectly and using those ridiculous imperial units of theirs. But it is a particularly special kind of holiday Over There. Today is Memorial Day, and it is special precisely because it is the day […]

Monday morning fusion dance

Didact — Mon, 18 May 2026 22:47:05 +0000

Well, we all somehow survived another series of Trumper Tantrums – though they were more muted than usual, in part because Ornj Boi swanned off to meet the New Huangdi of the Middle Kingdom. By all accounts, that visit was – to quote Macbeth – a tale of sound and fury, signifying nothing, told by […]

Monday morning porch piracy

Didact — Tue, 12 May 2026 21:08:11 +0000

Yes, I know, this is late, it’s actually Tuesday. What can I say – I was busy most of the day yesterday. These things take like 3 hours at a stretch to put together in full, which is a big time sink in the middle of busy projects. That said – this week’s Great Tuesdaydact […]

Monday morning Star Warped

Didact — Mon, 04 May 2026 16:13:54 +0000

It’s Monday again, and today is of course a particular kind of Monday – I will not say it is special, because May the 4th stopped being special many years ago, but according to geek lore, it is, of course, Star Wars Day. Now, anyone who watched the original trilogy, or the “prequel” trilogy, knows […]

Monday morning MAFF meltdown

Didact — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:11:16 +0000

Wa-hey, we are BACK with the Monday poast! Last week turned out to be ludicrously busy, and I simply could not be arsed to take the 3 or so hours that it requires to assemble one of these, in a single sitting. That means, of course, that we have an awful lot of catching up […]

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. […]
