“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 tragedy of the lost generation

The tragedy of the lost generation

My generation grew up during a sharp transition from peace, to war. Or at least, it seemed like a peaceful world, at the time, when I were a wee lad in Asia. It was a world of plenty, opportunity, optimism, and hope. That world died 24 years ago. I have said for quite...
Truth in advertising

Truth in advertising

Coinbase dropped a very interesting ad a few days ago, in which they basically trolled the hell out of PommieBastardLande in the process of encouraging people to sign onto their crypto trading platform. I have to say, it has been quite a while since I have seen a...
White is all right

White is all right

The picture you see above, comes from an advertisement campaign launched by the American Eagle clothing brand. I cannot say I have any experience whatsoever with that brand, but they seem to have dumped half a hundredweight of wasabi straight into the tremendously...

The glorious bastard lovechild of SkyNet and /pol/

In case you do not keep up with the various shenanigans associated with Abominable Intelligence, an absolutely hilarious story broke a few days ago when X (the new and improved Twatter, after its acquisition by Brolon MuZk a few years back) updated its in-house AI...

Of peddle-files and pentagrams

The missiles and bombs flying around various hot zones in the world tend to drown out some of the consequential things happening around us. We had one rather important example of such a thing emerge recently – originating from within Israel, right before the country’s...

Yanking a nuclear-tipped Bear’s tail

Yanking a nuclear-tipped Bear’s tail

For those paying attention to events in and around Banderastan (like yours truly), news started streaming in on Sunday about some rather audacious, and quite repugnant, terrorist attacks in Russia, beginning with the destruction of bridges in Bryansk and Belgorod...
A bad case of the Dien Bien Flu

A bad case of the Dien Bien Flu

If you have not yet seen the video of Emannuelle Micron’s “wife” (beard, actually), Brigitte, smacking “her” husband around at the very tail end of a trip to Vietnam, then you are missing out on some legendary comedy: The French government almost immediately went into...
The Farce is with us, always

The Farce is with us, always

Most of us generally have better things to do – especially as we get to around middle age, or thereabouts – to waste time on nostalgia. Life goes on, things change, and there is little point in worrying about what could or should have been. So it is with...
