“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.”
I first started watching STAR WARS seriously as a teenager, and got to be an avid fan of the series, for many years. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, I consumed vast amounts of the Expanded Universe lore – right up until the point where LucasArts released the...
About a year ago, I wrote a poast about the catastrophic levels of readiness – or lack thereof – of the American F-35 SOOPER DOOPER AWESUMSAUCE AMAZEBALLS!!!! all-singing, all-dancing wunderwaffe. For the very, VERY few who do not know what this colossal shitheap and...
My friends, after many years of disparaging the real revelation of the true god, I came to the conclusion last night that I have been following entirely the wrong course. You see, it so happened that I went to sleep in something one might best describe as a cave last...
There has been quite a lot of hoopla about Princess Catherine of Wales in PommieBastardLande, who has apparently gone missing and been replaced by a not-very-convincing series of body doubles. The whole fracas started when the future Queen went in for abdominal...
Today is apparently the single biggest excuse for going out and getting absolutely HAMMERED, because it is St. Patrick’s Day. From what I gather, this is an historical celebration of the death of the eponymous saint, who arrived on the Emerald Isle some 1600...
This stretch of the year, from very roughly March to April 5th, is perhaps the most momentous of any when it comes to making up excuses to celebrate things. We have International Women’s Day on March 8th; Pi Day on March 14th; Caesar Stabbification Day on March...
In what I rather euphemistically refer to as my “spare” time these days, I have been noodling around, out of interest, on Excess Mortality data. The inspiration for this came from a Twitter post shared with me by a friend, from user OutsideAllan, who put...
The news has been streaming in since late last night that Ukraine’s military high command has ordered the full evacuation of the “Ukrainian” – that is to say, temporarily occupied – large township of Avdeevka, to the northwest of Donetsk...
As I pointed out shortly after it dropped, #BasedTucker’s interview with The Putin was a tremendous public service, which has now reached hundreds of millions of people around the world. Tucker Carlson has done what almost no one else could, or has ever even...
The picture at the top of this poast is a sort of Russian in-joke, which I confess I do not understand in the slightest. It has to do with a character from a children’s book series, published in Sweden, dating all the way back to the 1940s, called...
