“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: Underworked and Overpaid Edition

Friday T&A: Underworked and Overpaid Edition

As y’all may have noticed, things have been rather slower than usual around here. This past week has been insanely busy, which is why poasting has dropped to zero, and why yesterday’s usual edition was not even so much as started, never mind published. I...
Friday T&A: Escalation Edition

Friday T&A: Escalation Edition

For those of you who were paying attention to the NOOSE today, things went from what we might consider “regular crazy” to “batshit insane” in the space of a few hours. First came the news of MASSIVE, and I mean truly off-the-charts, Russian...
Friday T&A: The Ides of March Edition

Friday T&A: The Ides of March Edition

As I mentioned yesterday, this particular stretch of the year is great for oddball made-up holidays. Today is, of course, Caesar Stabbification Day, in which the legendary Roman general and dictator failed to heed the words of the soothsayer, and went to the Senate to...

Friday T&A: A Hint of Spring Edition

It has been one very long and extremely busy week – this is one of those cyclical turns that comes around every so often, when everything happens at once and there is almost never a spare moment. That is, of course, why poasting has been basically non-existent...
Friday T&A: Defender Edition

Friday T&A: Defender Edition

Since my capacity for deep thought is rather limited today, due to the extraordinarily busy few days I’ve had, I will spare you my usual nonsense about geopolitics and current events. All I will say is that today is День Защитника Отетчества (Day of the Defender...

Friday T&A: Onnatop Edition

It is no secret that the 404 War is going extremely badly for the collective West. The news from the battlefield in Avdeevka is obsolete within minutes – I’ve been tracking it all week long, and by the time we get a report that some location has fallen to...
Friday T&A: Heterochromia Edition

Friday T&A: Heterochromia Edition

No deep thoughts today, just straight on to the thot. I am simply too tired, and too talked-out, to do much by way of extra typing. Or thinking. Given I am suffering from a cold – no, not MAN-FLU, but simply a proper cold – I would much prefer to poast and...
Friday T&A: Suono E Furia Edition

Friday T&A: Suono E Furia Edition

Well, it would appear the long-awaited “retribution strikes” the FUSA military and civilian leadership has talked about for days now, have finally arrived. As of this writing, the strikes appear to be ongoing, but the American Empire has evidently bombed...
Friday T&A: Fort Sumter Edition

Friday T&A: Fort Sumter Edition

Things have been getting awfully interesting in a very big hurry with the FUSA this week. We have now seen 25 State Governors joining Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in basically telling the US Federal government to perform an anatomically impossible act. This is already...
