“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.

In the wake of the interview with the living legend, Sergei Lavrov, I think it is important for us mere mortals to do our part with the cultural outreach and maintenance of positive international relations with the folks across the New Iron Curtain. It is all part of...
Well, assuming you survived National Overeating and Football Day – if you are American, that is – you are now no doubt trying to get through the gauntlet of endless sale offers that constitute the irritatingly American phenomenon of “Black...
