“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.”

Friday T&A: Hoarse Sense Edition

Friday T&A: Hoarse Sense Edition

Yes, this one is unusually late, but I actually do have a good excuse. (Sort of.) I was at a concert earlier this week, and that kind of left me quite zonked yesterday. Turns out, jumping up and down like a maniac for two hours and screaming yourself hoarse, after an...

Friday T&A: Shop ‘Til You Drop Edition

I realise this is rather late, but given that most of my ‘Murkin readers are still attempting (probably unsuccessfully) to digest their gigantic meal on Thanksgiving day, I rather doubt anyone particularly gives a flying proverbial. Indeed, as far as those...

Friday T&A: Peddle to the Meddle Edition

As I documented exhaustively – and exhaustingly – in my previous poast, the recent “пиздел” from Ornj Boi is nothing short of a complete nonsense, from start to finish. Nothing about it makes any particular kind of sense. It is all held together with sticky-tape and...

Friday T&A: Collective Nervous Breakdown Edition

Apparently, some enterprising academics published a study involving nearly 10,000 voters across various Western nations, and they were shocked to discover that nearly half of them think dumbocracy is broken, non-functional, and non-representative. To which people like...

Friday T&A: Revolutionary Edition

Early November is a time of great significance in Eastern European history – for those disposed to know about such things, anyway. November 6, 1943, generally marks the liberation of Kiev by the Soviet Red Army, under the leadership of Gen. Nikolai Vatutin...

Friday T&A: Harem Scarem Edition

No doubt many of you are knee-deep in tots gallivanting around your neighbourhood begging for candy. It is, after all, Halloween – the one night that adults use as a great excuse to get dressed up in the trashiest and silliest outfits imaginable, to pay...
Friday T&A: On Again Off Again Edition

Friday T&A: On Again Off Again Edition

The past week has been a classic study in chickenhawk politics, courtesy of Ornj Boi. He cannot quite seem to make up his mind as to whether he wants to talk with the Neo-Tsar to find a solution to the 404 War, or not. A week ago, it seemed as though Drumpf and The...

Friday T&A: VERY STRONGLY Edition

It is rather challenging these days to keep up with Ornj Boi’s increasingly erratic and, frankly, unhinged public statements. He has definitely degraded considerably from what he was 8 years ago. And that is, perhaps, unsurprising. After all, he IS pretty much...
Friday T&A: Queen’s Gambit Edition

Friday T&A: Queen’s Gambit Edition

Another busy week, and another cold one – winter is definitely setting in. The cold, though, by itself, is not really the problem. The real issue is when it is wet and damp outside – and stays that way, without sunshine. That damp seeps its way into...
Friday T&A: Pastafarian Edition

Friday T&A: Pastafarian Edition

This would have gone up last night, but a combination of work, stupid arguments with certain people, horrid weather, and a general fatigue with the sheer insanity around us, prompted me to watch The Godfather Part II instead. I have seen it at least 2 times before,...
