“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.”

A Song of Ice and F*** YOU

Vox Day has been going on for a couple of years now about the fact that the quality of George R. R. Martin’s writing in his A Song of Ice and Fire epic fantasy series has been in decline ever since he released A Storm of Swords. Having read all of...

Don’t trust the police

These days it is pretty rare for me to find something over at Return of Kings that I genuinely think is worth reading. (There are a few very notable exceptions, such as frequent RoK contributor Quintus Curtius, who always has something interesting to say.) That...

There goes Britney’s voice

And good bloody riddance to it too. At it turns out, jailbait-turned-trailer-trash-mum-turned-(somehow)-Las-Vegas-act Britney Spears cannot, in fact, sing without, shall we say, significant digital assistance: So Britney Spears can’t sing? Quelle surprise, as the...

Beauty and freedom

The outstanding Mr. Wright has an interesting take on the way the liblepr crowd (to borrow a Kratmanism) destroys beauty, and why: The most precious, profound and important of the great ideas which the Left has raped from us is beauty. I need spend no time on the...

Jesus Double Facepalm: That is how badly you FAIL “Lightning war” is quite simply the only way to describe what Germany did to Brazil yesterday. Now normally I could not give a toss about this odd sport named “football”- something that you...

The Gamma and the bench press

McRapey* recently took to his Twitter feed to congratulate his daughter on her weightlifting achievements. Nothing wrong with that, clearly- but then he went and did something very stupid indeed: This, of course, inevitably caused the rest of us who aren’t a...

Bordering catastrophe

Yes, I know, ha-ha, clever wordplay. Let’s not forget, however, that the inexplicable refusal of this country’s government to secure and safeguard its borders- which is literally the entire point of government- has real consequences. And don’t think...

My kind of burger joint

The kind that not only allows armed diners into the premises, but arms the waitresses too: How does a Swiss and Wesson grilled cheese for lunch sound?  Or a Guac 19 burger for dinner?  And would you like to attend a concealed carry class after your...

A costly and irreversible mistake

Yesterday afternoon, returning from a trip into the city that had some rather unpleasant results, I chanced across a poster in the train that went something like this: Dear 40-year-old Self, Remember to FREEZE your eggs today so that you can still have a real chance...
