“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: Hamilton’s Warning Edition

I’ve been pretty much out of it most of the day, and I’m not quite sure why, but it is clear that the last few weeks of VERY hard work really took their toll. Now that a major project has successfully been completed – or at least, this phase has been...

Friday T&A: Cognitive Dissonance Edition

The constant drumbeat of, frankly, insane talk about nuclear weapons and who will launch the first strike over the last couple of weeks, has gotten well and truly out of control by now. The rhetoric coming out of the West bears absolutely no relation to reality, yet...

Friday T&A: Crash and Burn Edition

This week has certainly been eventful in the world of geopolitics. Prime Minister Chucky is out, as I pointed out yesterday, after a brief, disastrous, and totally ignominious reign that saw the fastest collapse ever observed in a British government. The result is a...

Friday T&A: Unification Day Edition

It’s been a very long and crazy week, yet one which whizzed by very quickly, somehow. Today, however, was a momentous day to end it all. The world changed forever today, and we have the Neo-Tsar and the Russian Federation to thank for that fact. Today, the four...

Friday T&A: Voice of the People Edition

This one will be relatively short, as I have been up since 6am my time and on the road, so to speak, for… uh… add the one, carry the three… about 7 hours, all told. I’ve been dealing with the joys of a railway system that appears to be rapidly...

Friday T&A: Drinking Games Edition

Gents, I just got back earlier today from a short trip to an event that involved a lot of words that would normally make me swear a blue streak. These include “networking”, “socialising”, and – most horrible of all – “other...

Friday T&A: Rainbow Bridges Edition

This has unquestionably been a difficult week for my friends in PommieBastardLande. The death of Her Majesty, Elizabeth II, has rocked the nation, but it does not come as any great surprise. Let’s be honest – once you hit your 90s, every day is basically a...

Friday T&A: Freezer Burn Edition

We often find ourselves marvelling at the sheer stupidity of Western leaders – it is almost as if God designed some sort of highly sophisticated sorting machine for Western leaders that is precisely calibrated to return the most blindly unqualified moronic...
