“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.”

Didactic Mind, Ep 119: The Corroding Empire

The latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a look at the collapsing Western empire. I discuss the ways in which the West is getting worse and worse – to the point where Western nations can barely figure out how to keep the lights on...

When Goliath’s spear defeated David’s sling

Now that the dust has settled from the Israeli strike on the Iranian diplomatic mission in Damascus, the Iranian response with drones and missiles, and the Israeli counterstrike with a drone attack on Iran, it is worth taking a step back to understand what happened,...

There has been quite a lot of hoopla about Princess Catherine of Wales in PommieBastardLande, who has apparently gone missing and been replaced by a not-very-convincing series of body doubles. The whole fracas started when the future Queen went in for abdominal...

International Save-a-Ginger Day

Today is apparently the single biggest excuse for going out and getting absolutely HAMMERED, because it is St. Patrick’s Day. From what I gather, this is an historical celebration of the death of the eponymous saint, who arrived on the Emerald Isle some 1600...

Didactic Mind, Ep 117: The Burning of Rome

The Didactic Mind podcast is FINALLY back, after a long hiatus due to… well, sheer laziness, mostly, and a real lack of desire to talk about much of the craziness around us. Nonetheless, recent events in the West and Russia have made a podcast necessary to...

At last, some Rushian KAHLOOOOZHUN!!!

The interview that broke the internet

#BasedTucker’s interview with The Putin was, perhaps, the most highly anticipated video release of recent years. It dropped yesterday night, my time, and I finally managed to finish watching it this morning. The full interview is, as of this writing, still...
#BasedTucker meets The Putin

#BasedTucker meets The Putin

The picture at the top of this poast is a sort of Russian in-joke, which I confess I do not understand in the slightest. It has to do with a character from a children’s book series, published in Sweden, dating all the way back to the 1940s, called...

Guest Post: The Age of Ideology by Randale6

I am most pleased to publish another guest poast from LRFotS Randale6, who has published a follow-up to his previous piece about the return of the age of hard times and strong men. In this instalment, our friend analyses the manner in which those aforementioned things...
