“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.”

The correct use for modern art galleries

Last year Paul Joseph Watson came up with one of his best videos that attempted to answer a simple question: why is modern art so… terrible? And here, about 15 months later, is the sequel: PJW is, of course, entirely correct to castigate modern art. There is...

The collapsing Gamma

Seen at a Barnes & Noble bookstore about 15 miles outside of San Antonio today: And this, let it be noted, is Tor Books’ most heavily hyped and promoted sci-fi author, in whom they have invested quite a serious chunk of change. The book just came out earlier...

Maybe there is hope after all

Back in early October last year, I wrote up a post that articulated my deep pessimism for the prospects of the generation that will come immediately after my own. I am, from my perspective rather unfortunately, a Millennial, which means that I am part of the most...

Land of confusion

Before we get started here I should provide a bit of a warning. If you are anything like me- i.e. you believe in tradition, decency, mental stability, and the immutable existence of two clearly defined biological genders- you are NOT going to like what follows....

The appeal of the Great Heresy

Another week, another series of Islamist attacks. London, March 22nd: Antwerp, March 23rd: Lille, March 24th: The list goes on for quite a bit. Islamism is on the rise across Europe, and the only response that the European people and their politicians seem to have is...

“Vibrancy is our strength”

And if we keep repeating it to ourselves often and loudly and desperately enough, and make all the right-sounding noises, maybe, just maybe, we’ll begin to believe it!!! And we’ll defend the idea so desperately as to shout down and even potentially arrest...

Well imagine my shock!

It would appear that our friends over at Tor Books are outraged- OUTRAGED, I tell you!!!- at the thought of some jumped-up johnnies from Finland and Italy jumping up and down all over their jumped-up Johnny’s latest magnum non-opus: We just received an...

In defence of normalcy

A few days ago I wrote about the fact that, to a mind steeped in the madness of feminism and the insistence of its adherents in treating men and women as entirely interchangeable, it can be jarring in the extreme to see what the world might look like when the...

When “normal” is shocking

Today is International Women’s Day- well, for another two-and-a-bit hours, anyway- and as a result I was actually at a bit of a loss as to what I should write for the day’s post. I could have written in amusement about how a “day without women”...

The Collapsing Tor-pire

It would appear that Castalia House has decided that a certain 6’3″ ex-Marine badass hasn’t been piled onto enough for the questionable quality of his writing: The Third Edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says: “If anyone...
