“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.”

So about that crazy idea…

Some of you – well, two of you – might remember how, exactly a year ago, I spitballed a completely loony idea and took a straw poll to see if anyone might be interested. What you see below is the Foreword for that very same crazy idea. Oh yes. A...

Lawyered

This, right here, is why everyone hates lawyers: Longtime TOP GEAR fans know exactly what spawned this clip, by the way. Back in the day, Jezza & Co. gave the Tesla Model S Roadster a rather poor review – if you look hard enough you can find that...

“… and the men lost reason and faith”

Peter Hitchens of the Daily Mail – one of the few columnists for that rag that has his head screwed on right, most of the time, and brother of the late irrational atheist Christopher – had some rather choice words for the #MeToo harpies back in...

The heresy we need

Toward the end of last year, Castalia House released a rather odd-looking book that was apparently a “spiritual prequel” of sorts to something called The Stars Came Back. Now, I had seen Rolf Nelson’s name while bumbling about on Amazon looking for...

The Explorer by Rudyard Kipling

“There’s no sense in going further — it’s the edge of cultivation,” So they said, and I believed it — broke my land and sowed my crop — Built my barns and strung my fences in the little border station Tucked away below the...

Making Britain great again

The very last episode of TOP GEAR’s Series 20 – y’know, from back when the show was really really good because it was still hosted by Clarkson, Hammond, and May – featured a truly beautiful and epic tribute to British manufacturing, which...

Can’t Understand Normal Thinking

Ladies (and gents, too) – do you want to know what the biggest problem is with feminism? Yes, I know, the natural response to this would be, “EVERYTHING – next question”. Another valid response would be, “Blimey, where do we even...
