“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.”

Vegans for Earth Day

And by vegans, I mean turning vegans into BURGERS, of course. It’s Earth Day, which for evil conservative bastards like me is an excuse to fire shotguns, burn petrol, drink beer, hunt deer, and crank the Viking death metal up WAAAAAAAAAAAY too loud. (That sort...

MOAR DAKKA!

As any of us rednecks can tell you, when it comes to blowing shit up, there is NO SUCH THING as “too much”. After all, overkill is underrated. So here are a couple of examples of heavily underrated overkill, all in the name of the right to keep and arm...

Opportunities, not passions

Of late, I have been fielding a bunch of requests from current and former students of my Master’s programme to share with them whatever pearls of wisdom I have picked up over my career. Most of this is of course opportunistic; the professional cynic in me knows...

I had a different stake in mind…

I was attending church services at the temple of the Iron God on Sunday, as usual, when I saw an ad from the Lizard Queen herself pop up on one of the TVs during a CNN commercial break. It had something or other about how there is “too much at stake”,...

Captain Save-A-Ho to the rescue!!!

A man so young that he apparently still needs to be told not to stick it in crazy, is clearly attempting to show that he has more money than brains by turning a ho into a housewife: Lindsay Lohan is to be engaged to be married.  The 29-year-old Mean Girls vet has...

Quarter-squat denial syndrome

If you have it, get treated for it right away: If you’re lucky, your local treatment centre (also known as a “gym”) will have a therapy counsellor (also known as “that cranky powerlifter in the squat rack over there in the dimly lit back...

The INTJ thought process

Following his recent debate with Dr. Miller on the subject of free trade, Vox Day wrote up a post in which he made a very interesting note about how his thought process works: It’s as if the more clearly I am able to think through these complicated issues, the...

Paging Prof. Darwin…

“Prof. Darwin? It’s the office here. You might not want to make plans for this weekend. It would appear that a prime candidate for your award made his appearance in a Pakistani courtroom the other day…”: Three people were injured in an...

The care and feeding of deep introverts (udpated)

This is a slightly revised version of what I consider to be one of my best posts, written back in autumn 2013. I’ve tweaked it somewhat, as I’ve grown a little older and (hopefully) wiser- and definitely grouchier- in the intervening years. It’s...

What does a raped culture look like?

Actually, while we’re at it asking questions that no one wants to see answered, what does a culture that has been literally raped out of its senses look like? Assuming you can get past your gag reflex, the answer to that rather ugly question can probably be...
