“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 snappy strapline is not, I must confess, my own happy creation. I nicked it from a comment on a really very good video from the Greeks over at The Duran, in which they discussed the crisis rapidly engulfing the Royal Family of PommieBastardLande. If you want to...

Spraying the vampire ballroom with holy water

The latest release of roughly 3 million documents (thereabouts) from the so-called “Epstein Files” has landed like a hammerblow across much of the Western world, and with very good reason. The details contained in the emails – where they are not covered in black ink –...

Bring your best Tux

Longtime Readers will know quite well by now that I have a particular, special, and burning hatred of Microsoft, and with very good reason. I have been using Linux as my, uh, “daily driver”, as the kids these days insist on calling it, for… going on 18 years now, I...

I have thus far refrained from commenting in any significant way on the unrest in Minnesota, simply because I am not in the US any longer, and what happens there is of significantly lesser concern to me now than it used to be. Nonetheless, with the latest spate of...

Now that things have settled down somewhat after Drumpf took a page out of the Sicilian Mafia’s playbook and made Nicolas Maduro a deal he couldn’t refuse, the general thrust of American foreign policy under God-Emperor 2.0 is becoming relatively clear, at least in...

It is rather difficult at times to know what to make of Trump 2.0. On the one hand, the list of policy accomplishments we have seen thus far, is basically nothing like what we thought we would get back in November 2024. The God-Emperor, as he was at that time,...

Didactic Mind, Ep 123: Force of Habit

The Didactic Mind podcast is BACK with an all-new episode – the first in nearly 6 months – to kick off 2026. This podcast is all about how we avoid the stupidity and nonsense of “New Year’s Resolutions”, and instead focus on building...

The coming collapse of the EUSSR

This past week has seen perhaps the single most consequential act of brazen stupidity in the history of postwar Europe. That is not hyperbole when you understand the consequences of what the unelected, unaccountable, incompetent, and blindingly stupid bureaucrats of...

When Abominable Intelligence chokes on its own slop

Most of us are familiar by now, whether we like it or not, with the concept of “AI slop”. This refers to the proliferation of low-quality and genuinely stupid content generated by Abominable Intelligence, whether in the form of text, images, sound, or video. The...
