“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 interview that broke the internet

#BasedTucker’s interview with The Putin was, perhaps, the most highly anticipated video release of recent years. It dropped yesterday night, my time, and I finally managed to finish watching it this morning. The full interview is, as of this writing, still...
