“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.”

Friday T&A: Double Tap Edition

Friday T&A: Double Tap Edition

Despite – or perhaps because of – the fact that it was a short week, it has been an extremely busy one, for reasons that rather defy explanation. My last project wrapped up a few days ago, so by rights, things should have calmed down, but they have not. I...
Friday T&A: Trumper Tantrum Edition

Friday T&A: Trumper Tantrum Edition

I am rather too exhausted after a long week to write anything particularly deep or meaningful, but I think we probably all feel that way after watching the inexplicably weird tariff wars this week. What started out as a good, if over-hyped, idea, has turned into a...
Friday T&A: Liberation Day Edition

Friday T&A: Liberation Day Edition

This week saw the dawning of what President Trump referred to as “Liberation Day” – a day on which the USA levied heavy tariffs on the rest of the world, to re-balance its trading relationships with other countries. Upon closer examination, it does...

Friday T&A: Peace in Our Time Edition

We are now rapidly approaching the 100-day mark of the Second Reign of His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the...
Friday T&A: Stream of Consciousness Edition

Friday T&A: Stream of Consciousness Edition

Boys, have you ever had one of those weeks where literally everything seems to fall onto your shoulders all at once, and the world sort of stops making sense? The older we get, the more often this seems to happen. Speaking from LONG and PAINFUL years of experience...
Friday T&A: Hot Pi Edition

Friday T&A: Hot Pi Edition

It is serendipitous indeed when we get a Friday Pi Day. Indeed, by my reckoning, the last time that happened, was 11 years ago. Given this most beloved series did not start up until 2016, it is fair to say that was a MAJOR missed opportunity. Since we are all about...
Friday T&A: Enthrone Darkness Triumphant Edition

Friday T&A: Enthrone Darkness Triumphant Edition

The title of today’s poast is basically a callback to a legendary – or, uh, not legendary, if you’ve never heard of it – album by the black metal band, DIMMU BORGIR. Now, I realise this is basically a niche subject for non-metalheads, but there...
Friday T&A: Greatest Show On Earth Edition

Friday T&A: Greatest Show On Earth Edition

As LRFotS Odnams Razor pointed out in a comment today on another poast, the hot-thot for the day was in development, though I was rather held up due to going a long way off my usual track for a skiing session. (Long story.) However, all plans of poasting went promptly...
Friday T&A: White Pill Edition

Friday T&A: White Pill Edition

Looking back at the past month, it is nearly impossible to believe how quickly His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight,...
Friday T&A: Cupid Curb-Stomp Edition

Friday T&A: Cupid Curb-Stomp Edition

Red-blooded men everywhere truly hate this day, because it involves turning romance, love, and care, into a commercialised nightmare created specifically by a sinister global cartel of flower and greeting card companies, with a hefty assist from the French champagne...
