“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: Mad Dog Edition

Friday T&A: Mad Dog Edition

To call this an “eventful” week is to indulge in masterly understatement. This past Sunday, we witnessed the Ukrainians pull off one of the craziest, stupidest, most provocative stunts imaginable, when they attacked the strategic bomber arm of the Russian...
Friday T&A: Madison Avenue Edition

Friday T&A: Madison Avenue Edition

Poasting has, of course, been nonexistent over the past week, because… well, I don’t actually have a very good reason, to be quite honest. On Monday, we were out with friends for 8 hours, and as anyone who is an extreme introvert (about 90% of my...
Friday T&A: Weekender Edition

Friday T&A: Weekender Edition

This week’s edition is, of course, a couple of days late, and that is my fault (though not entirely, a few things got in the way, including a mostly impromptu driving trip that ended in a lot of rain and some funny memories). Nonetheless, we are still in...
Friday T&A: Time Vampires Edition

Friday T&A: Time Vampires Edition

At long last, the site (or rather, its author) is BACK. More or less. I had hoped to resume full writing duties by earlier this week, but, well, let us just say that a few things got in the way. Having been through this cycle a few times, I have learned a few lessons...
Friday T&A: Double Tap Edition

Friday T&A: Double Tap Edition

Despite – or perhaps because of – the fact that it was a short week, it has been an extremely busy one, for reasons that rather defy explanation. My last project wrapped up a few days ago, so by rights, things should have calmed down, but they have not. I...
Friday T&A: Trumper Tantrum Edition

Friday T&A: Trumper Tantrum Edition

I am rather too exhausted after a long week to write anything particularly deep or meaningful, but I think we probably all feel that way after watching the inexplicably weird tariff wars this week. What started out as a good, if over-hyped, idea, has turned into a...
Friday T&A: Liberation Day Edition

Friday T&A: Liberation Day Edition

This week saw the dawning of what President Trump referred to as “Liberation Day” – a day on which the USA levied heavy tariffs on the rest of the world, to re-balance its trading relationships with other countries. Upon closer examination, it does...
Friday T&A: Peace in Our Time Edition

Friday T&A: Peace in Our Time Edition

We are now rapidly approaching the 100-day mark of the Second Reign of His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the...
Friday T&A: Stream of Consciousness Edition

Friday T&A: Stream of Consciousness Edition

Boys, have you ever had one of those weeks where literally everything seems to fall onto your shoulders all at once, and the world sort of stops making sense? The older we get, the more often this seems to happen. Speaking from LONG and PAINFUL years of experience...
Friday T&A: Hot Pi Edition

Friday T&A: Hot Pi Edition

It is serendipitous indeed when we get a Friday Pi Day. Indeed, by my reckoning, the last time that happened, was 11 years ago. Given this most beloved series did not start up until 2016, it is fair to say that was a MAJOR missed opportunity. Since we are all about...
