“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.”

Guess the ethnicity, Philly Cheese Steak Edition

So it turns out that a young white girl, among others, was beaten up by a “flash mob” of assailants in Philadelphia. OK, well, tragic as that is, why is that news? After all, this seems to be happening every other day in America’s most...

LastRedoubt pointed me toward the trailer for the next John Wick film, and I have to say, it looks BADASS: I didn’t get around to watching the first John Wick until, I think, April this year. This was despite the fact that reader Carey had emphatically told...

Tom Cruise might be completely batshit insane. But damn the man can act. I mean, OK, fine, we’d have to throw Top Gun out as a mulligan, I suppose- it’s the gayest non-gay movie ever made, it’s ridiculous beyond words, and the acting in it...

There is a certain crazy dingbat who goes by the name of “Madonna”- you may have heard of her, especially if you grew up during the 1980s- who racked up a fair few pop hits back in her day. One or two of them are actually kind of fun to listen to, if...

Okay, first things first, before some smartass points it out: I know it’s Saturday, I was busy last night attending a (really rather awesome) metal concert. First knucklehead to point out the blindingly obvious gets slapped upside the head, Agent...
