“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.”

Checkmating the Turducken

Checkmating the Turducken

The hottest defence news of the past week has been the unveiling of Russia’s new single-engine fighter jet, the Sukhoi-75 Checkmate. I haven’t commented on it yet, simply because there was a lot of hype surrounding it and it only seems to have died down...
The Lioness of London

The Lioness of London

Few people, if any, who do not watch Christian apologetics videos on TEH YOOTOOBZ know the first thing about a woman named Hatun Tash. She is a Christian convert from Islam who gave her life to Jesus Christ and has since spent her life evangelising Muslims. In fact,...
Train CrossShit, lose wars

Train CrossShit, lose wars

I’ve been banging on for a while now about how the US military couldn’t win so much as an egg-and-spoon race at this point, much less an actual shooting war with China or, especially, Russia. Few, if any, of my readers disagree with me – including...
Armed and fabulous

Armed and fabulous

Does anyone remember a hilarious low-budget 90s comedy film called Down Periscope, starring Kelsey Grammer and Lauren Holly? I do – quite well, actually. It’s a funny, if inconsistent and somewhat badly acted, film: The trailer is actually almost as funny...

Men are better at EVERYTHING

Men are better at EVERYTHING

That is not a hyperbolic headline. It turns out that we really are the best at everything that women excel at doing, including beauty pageants now: Kataluna Enriquez, 27, has forged the way. She won Miss Nevada at an event in Las Vegas on Sunday, and has her sights...
Let the Reclamation begin

Let the Reclamation begin

The new E3 2021 HALO Infinite campaign trailer is out, and… well, just watch – though you’ll want to skip through the first 2min of it, because of Bonnie Ross flapping her trap: First things first… Wow. We have waited nearly SEVEN YEARS for a...
The great Izzlamic swindle

The great Izzlamic swindle

This week saw the one-year anniversary of the infamous “holes in the narrative” interview that rocked the Izzlamic world to its very core. Given that LRFotS Sasha Hrongmitts has been after me for a while now to follow up on my previous posts about Islam,...
When the Greatest went to war

When the Greatest went to war

The storms that had rocked the boats so badly, and had filled their holds with the sickness and misery of wretched troopers and sailors, had finally abated. The weather had cleared at least enough to permit the operation to proceed. And so, the great invasion fleet...
Cow-poop vs Kung Flu – WHO YA GOT?!?!

Cow-poop vs Kung Flu – WHO YA GOT?!?!

So there I was the other day, taking a bit of a break between running a bunch of M&A models and figuring out market segmentation for a client, when I ran across a couple of articles that made me sit bolt upright in my chair with shock. You see, there are quite a...
