“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.”

Monday morning Freudian slip

OFMIM. And, as always, yer ‘umble servant is ‘ere to ‘elp you through it. We start this week off with a dissection of Freudian analysis. (Yes, I know, you’re hungover and grumpy, I’ll try to keep this as painless as possible.) Sigmund...

Monday morning code compiling

Mondays just plain SUCK, man. And this one, in particular, seriously sucks if you were once employed at Buzzfeed, Verizon’s various media divisions, or Gannett, up until last Friday. Of course, for the rest of us who don’t hate Heritage America,...

Monday morning birdie blaster

Mondays just suck, as a general rule, and this one is certainly no exception. Fortunately, I have plenty of distractions to cheer you up today. Bird-killers, movie trailers (for a good movie, not the usual Pedowood shit), political commentary, British comedy,...

Monday morning freedom fries

Tell me why I don’t like Mondays… (Or Bob Geldof, for that matter.) Well, seeing as it is Monday, we might as well start off with people who probably had a worse weekend than you did. In this case, that would be… the French. Yes, the French. The butt...

Monday morning Christmas carols

Oh nuts, it’s Mon – What’s that you say? “Didact, cheer up, it’s Christmas Eve!” Wa-hey, you’re right! That means that tomorrow is the single best day of the year. And I have to say, I’m truly chuffed to bits about...

Monday morning death by divorce

Monday. Bugger. Well, look on the bright side: if you are reading this, you are not waking up on a Monday morning in North Korea. Also – consider yourself lucky that you are not this guy: A Russian billionaire embroiled in Britain’s costliest divorce has...

Monday morning snow job

It’s Monday again. проклятый сукин сын… I used Russian swear words because they’re appropriate, and because Russian is an exceptionally fine language to use for swearing. I thought English cuss words could be descriptive, but Russkies take it to...

Monday morning game gaggle

Tell me why I don’t like Mondays… This Monday is actually a little better than most, for a number of reasons. But it’s still Monday, and that is making everyone pretty miserable. So, your friendly neighbourhood Didact has assembled a bunch of...
