“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 Dominator mindset

Dominick Cruz was the UFC’s bantamweight-division championship – twice over. When he first entered the fight game, he was only around 20 years old. He amassed an amazing 9-0 record in his first fighting organisation, “Rage in the Cage”, before...

The real white privilege

This post is probably going to be very unpopular, at least at first. I cannot say that I particularly care. Regardless, in the interests of fairness you would probably do well to reserve final judgement on it until you have read it all the way through. Among the...

Power metal monday

Bullshido by any other name…

… still smells just as foul: I came across that Marie Claire “self-defence” video for wimmenz sometime last year, I think. One of the black belt instructors at my school saw that in his Instagram feed and showed it to a gang of us while we were...

Domain Query: Import more of X…

Commenter Dire Badger had some quite germane thoughts to add with respect to immigration and multiculturalism to my post the other day about certain adversities that I have encountered: Indians who grew up in India have a culture that is PROFOUNDLY different from...

The ISIS goat rodeo

The rat-bastards of ISIS decided to have a go at filming a training montage – inside a mosque in Afghanistan, no less – and the results were… well, somewhat less than stellar: Now don’t get me wrong, as far as I’m concerned every last one...
