“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.”

Crossing the Rubicon

Up until fairly recently, the #Gamergate thing was one of those routine storms in a teacup that flares up from time to time between those of us who like a bit of order and sense in the world, and those Morlocks* among the “social justice” set who stand...

Classic Dilbert

They don’t make ’em like this anymore

My favourite cartoon show was, and still is, “Tom & Jerry”. Now that was a cartoon made by people who knew how to make violent slapstick comedy genuinely funny. The show featured some of the most shockingly violent gags ever perpetrated on screen,...

Happy HELLOWEEN 2014

How not to get your ass shot off

Listen to Popp, you’ll live longer and it’s good for your mental health: Also, can I just say- “Hot Fuzz” is quite possibly THE FUNNIEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME (that isn’t called “Spinal Tap”, anyway). Share this: Share on X (Opens...

The Second Amendment, in simple English

And that’s why he’s the greatest EVER

Roger Federer was in all sorts of trouble against a relatively unknown opponent from Argentina a few nights ago in Shanghai. You can see it all in the highlights- he was muffing shots that normally he would make with consummate ease: Actually, Federer got ridiculously...
