“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 glorious bastard lovechild of SkyNet and /pol/

In case you do not keep up with the various shenanigans associated with Abominable Intelligence, an absolutely hilarious story broke a few days ago when X (the new and improved Twatter, after its acquisition by Brolon MuZk a few years back) updated its in-house AI...

Of peddle-files and pentagrams

The missiles and bombs flying around various hot zones in the world tend to drown out some of the consequential things happening around us. We had one rather important example of such a thing emerge recently – originating from within Israel, right before the country’s...
Chained to a hurtling death machine

Chained to a hurtling death machine

Supposedly, it was Vladimir Ilyich Lenin who once said words to the effect that, “there are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen”. Quite apart from my revulsion for Communists in general – and Lenin in particular – this most likely...

Domain Query: Neo-Byzantine Intrigues

We are back, at long last, after a lengthy break, with a new Domain Query podcast. Once again, we are answering a question from LRFotS Randale6, who draws an intriguing parallel between the current, parlous, state of the FUSA, and the old Byzantine Empire. Our friend...

We failed the Greatest Generation

The historian David Irving gets a tremendous amount of stick for being “anti-Semitic” and a “Holocaust Denier”. I leave it to the reader to decide whether those allegations are fair or not – if you read what Ron Unz had to say about his trials in Britain and Austria,...

A bad case of the Dien Bien Flu

If you have not yet seen the video of Emannuelle Micron’s “wife” (beard, actually), Brigitte, smacking “her” husband around at the very tail end of a trip to Vietnam, then you are missing out on some legendary comedy: The French government almost immediately went into...

When the Anglo-Saxons began to hate

The picture you see above comes from a friend of mine, living in PommieBastardLande, who contacted me recently about certain, alarming, developments on that foggy, damp, drunken, moss-covered, thoroughly depressing rock in the middle of the North Atlantic. What you...

Bungie jumped

For those of us who love HALO, the name, “Bungie Studios”, is one that we treat with great reverence. HALO fans – who make up a significant portion of this site’s readership – regard Bungie as the producers of the three greatest FPS games ever...
The Farce is with us, always

The Farce is with us, always

Most of us generally have better things to do – especially as we get to around middle age, or thereabouts – to waste time on nostalgia. Life goes on, things change, and there is little point in worrying about what could or should have been. So it is with...
The absolute and appalling state of PommieBastardLande

The absolute and appalling state of PommieBastardLande

Take a look at the picture above. Where do you think it was taken? Calcutta? Manila? Addis Ababa? Cairo? Nope. All wrong. That picture is from Great Britain’s second largest city (by population) – Birmingham. And that picture is a summation of everything that is wrong...
