“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.”
As noted earlier this week in the Great Mondaydact Browser Slayer, the long read of the week was an excellent bit of analysis on the decline, fall, and collapse of the Western world by Gaius Baltar, featured at Larry Johnson’s SONAR21 blog. As Mr. Baltar pointed...
A bit over a year ago, I wrote about the story of one Diana Deets, aka Coconut Kitty, who was (in)famous for posting pictures of herself on her Instaham account with VERY heavy filtering that made her look about half her true age. Sadly, the woman behind that account...
I really, really did not want to write anything more about the Gonzalo Lira situation. When he disappeared off the radar after his rather odd attempts to flee SBU custody and seek sanctuary in Hungary, I figured he had been caught and detained at the border by the...
I would imagine most people are not familiar with the recent drama surrounding one Gonzalo Lira. A few months ago, I wrote about his disappearance and asked people to pray for him, because it seemed like he had been arrested for, essentially, telling the truth. It is...
If you have not yet seen Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, or, as the cool kids call it, M:I7, I assure you, it is WELL worth the price of admission. I kicked my own ass to go watch the thing yesterday, despite quite horrid weather and a general sense...

The Domain Query series is finally back, with a new instalment, thanks to LRFotS Randale6. He had an unusual and rather interesting question for me, related to gaming, which I answered at some length here. The question goes as follows: Departing from our...
Many people in the West – a surprising number, given it has been more than 30 years since the Cold War ended – still believe Russians to be a dour, gruff, humourless bunch. Of course, anyone who spends more than 5 minutes around real Russians will tell you...
May the 4th came and went, and like most of you, I honestly could not be arsed to bother with it. There was a time, between the ages of 12 and about 27, when I was a rabid STAR WARS fan – I particularly loved the novels, and would read through them voraciously....
Everyone knows by now about how Fox News fired #BasedTucker, because reasons. Precisely what those reasons are, is still a bit murky, because no one at Fox is letting on, but it is not difficult to draw some basic conclusions using open-source data and a modicum of...
