“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The dog it was that died

There is an old poem by a chap named Oliver Goldsmith called “An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog” that contains the famous line reference above. This is especially apropos in light of recent news that one of the Hard Right’s favourite trashy dirty...

… and then some

In the world of tennis, every top-ranked tennis player should (in theory) be proficient at hitting something on the order of 25 different possible strokes. There are top-spin, side-spin, and back-spin versions of the forehand, backhand, volley, lob, drop-shot, and...

The intersectionalist’s confessional

Can anyone figure out WTF this means? Anyone? At all? Here in America it would appear that our friends over on the Left side of the aisle still have not gotten their fill of getting the shit kicked out of them by the rest of the country. That is the only...

Nissan versus woman

WHO YA GOT?!? Actually, it’s not just any woman, and it’s not just any old Datsun. The woman in question is Michelle Jenneke- an otherwise rather plain-looking lass from Kenthurst in Australia, who won a very large legion of male fans with her warm-up...

In Soviet Russia…

… apparently not very much has changed, even though the Iron Curtain fell well over 25 years ago: These are from the same lunatic genius who put together the “Trust Me, I’m An Engineer” video: He also decided to hold a contest to see which...

Laughter is the best medicine

So they say, anyway- and I have to admit, after laughing like a drain for the past thirty minutes at these clips, I do feel very good indeed: I tell you, I cannot wait to get back home on Saturday and watch THE GRAND TOUR. I’m a few episodes behind,...
