“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.”

It’s a real burden being right so often

Because Mal Reynolds, that’s why Turns out that it was, most likely, one of the Amish* that bombed the St. Petersburg metro on Monday: A former sushi chef from Kyrgyzstan has been named as the suicide bomber who murdered 14 and injured 50 in the St Petersburg...

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...

God bless Texas- now and forever

Back in August 2013 I took a little holiday trip down to the Lone Star State to visit an old friend in San Antonio, and to see the Alamo. My efforts were amply repaid by the experience. And now I’m back again, on the very first holiday that I’ve planned...

WE aren’t the problem, YOU are

Early last year, our friend Aaron Clarey released his book, Curse of the High IQ. In that book, our buddy El Capitan pointed out that highly intelligent people tend to have far fewer friends, and far more difficulty with making new ones. Essentially, people with...

Here we go again… again

That’s going to leave some scars

Did you grow up with those old 80s cartoons on Saturday mornings? He-Man, Transformers, Thundercats, and so on? I did. I have very fond memories of them- to the point that, when Netflix FINALLY brought back the old He-Man cartoons for everyone to see, I...

His truth is marching on

There are times when a man needs to have his faith in his Creator affirmed from time to time, so that he may be reminded that, though Man appears to be in an awfully big hurry to forget God, He is certainly in no great hurry to forget us. Such affirmation was...

Lilith’s mask slips

It would appear that an odd moment or two of honesty does actually prevail from time to time, even when one is deep within Satan’s bowels: Welcome, my friends, to the way a progressive actually thinks. They truly do believe, deep down, that they are...
