“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.”

No repentance, no forgiveness

No repentance, no forgiveness

There has been quite a bit of traffic circulating of late about an article by one Emily Oster of a rather disreputable toilet-paper substitute (not a very good one, at that) called The Atlantic, in which she called for a “Pandemic Amnesty”. The responses,...
The season finale of Lvov Boat

The season finale of Lvov Boat

I am assuredly WAY behind the times on this one, but all I can say is that I have been extremely busy for weeks now, so my appetite for tabloid trash has been rather in abeyance of late. However, for those of you who have been paying attention to such things, you may...
Guest Post: Classroom cheat codes by The Male Brain

Guest Post: Classroom cheat codes by The Male Brain

I am honoured to present another great guest post by our good friend, The Male Brain, who has very kindly taken it upon himself to translate from the original Hebrew an article about why universities and schools permit students to cheat. Indeed, they actually NEED...
Lettuce prey

As you have no doubt heard by now, Prime Minister Chucky, aka Liz Truss, is no longer in charge of PommieBastardLande. She resigned earlier today, to the surprise of just about nobody, after spending just six weeks in office. That makes her the shortest-tenured Prime...

Send them all home

Send them all home

Chaps, do you remember that whole weird series of episodes of what we might call a White Trash Soap Opera, suitably titled Yorkshire Dales or some such, involving a father-of-two who took in a Ukrainian refugee and then ended up dumping his not-wife’s ass in...

We wuz Alves ‘n’ shiet!

Amazog’s The Lhurrd of the Rangz has been out for a couple of days now (apparently), and like most of you, I just couldn’t give a toss. We’ve all got better things to do than watch this pile of steaming dogshit created by people who know nothing...
The hard road out of Gammatude

The hard road out of Gammatude

I make fun of Mark Cuckerberg constantly, because he is the literal epitome of the low-value Gamma sperg-nerd who managed to get very lucky with a product and an idea, and has since managed to strike it very rich. (Faceborg is a terrible product from a terrible...
The other side of the anime god

The other side of the anime god

In this week’s Great Mondaydact Browser Beater, the videos of #BasedTucker’s specials featured several long segments in which he interviewed one Andrew Tate. Up until about two weeks ago, I had never heard of the guy, which tells you just hoe ignorant I am...
Domain Query: Fruit Salad

Domain Query: Fruit Salad

The Domain Query series is BACK after a little bit of a hiatus, with a long broadcast answering a set of very interesting and quite wide-ranging questions from LRFotS Randale6. This was good fun to talk through, but I think I might have pissed off...
