Dispatches from Mordor: My kingdom for a fill-up!

Didact — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 22:44:30 +0000

Longtime Readers will recall that I went on vacation back in mid-June for a couple of weeks, and I travelled specifically to Mordor, aka Russia, for that purpose. While I was there, I had the chance to observe Russia’s society, culture, and economy, in some detail, across both the capital region of Moscow, and the […]

Friday T&A: Service Resumption Edition

Didact — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 12:50:49 +0000

Things are slowly – VERY slowly – returning back to normal around this here patch of rants and tumbleweeds. I went straight from vacation mode to long and grinding hours at work, with virtually zero adjustment time, and that was NOT fun. Fortunately, things have quietened down sufficiently to allow for actual time to think. […]

And all of Hell rejoiced

Didact — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 22:42:00 +0000

When news broke on July 11th that Sen. Lindsay Graham had “died suddenly” after a “brief illness”, the first thing that came to mind for many of us surely was: IT’S ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!! It is often said that one should not speak ill of the dead. That is a concept dating far beyond Christianity […]

The agony of deceit

Didact — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 11:10:11 +0000

Over the past week, we have seen a whole lot of noise about the supposed “peace deal” between the Epstein Coalition and Iran. The terms of that “pissdill”, to use a Russianism, are nothing short of devastating for the US-Izzraeli side that initiated a blatant act of unprovoked aggression. There are a few fundamental points […]

Summer hiatus

Didact — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:19:49 +0000

Yer very ‘eavy, very ‘umble servant finally landed up in Mordor yesterday, which is where I write this to note that, for the next couple of weeks, I am officially on holiday. It is a very badly needed holiday, at that – I originally planned to head off in early May, but I had to […]

The MAFF ain’t MAFFin’

Didact — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 13:34:49 +0000

At the beginning of the year, Our Beloved and Dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) Voxemort the Most Malevolent and Terrible published a book called Probability Zero: The Mathematical Impossibility of Evolution by Natural Selection. He based that book on work going back nearly 10 years to his debates with evolutionists and neo-Darwinians, including one particular […]

Friday T&A: Mordor Day Edition

Didact — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 21:21:22 +0000

Somewhat to perhaps everyone’s amazement, this Friday poast actually arrived on a Friday for a change. I managed to get out of Purgatory – I mean, work – a little earlier than expected, after an extremely hectic week, so I am able to start catching up on other things, which is a nice change of […]
