“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: Powerfool Edition

Friday T&A: Powerfool Edition

If the last 18 months have proven anything to us, it is the truth of Lord Acton’s observation that “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. There is no better demonstration of this than the Fake Administration’s absolutely mad...
Friday T&A: Polonium Edition

Friday T&A: Polonium Edition

The weekend is finally upon us, and much-needed it is, too. This week has been a busy one, at every level. Trying to keep up with events is approaching a futile exercise, almost, because things change so fast every day, particularly with respect to the Banderastan...
Friday T&A: Pea-Souper Edition

Friday T&A: Pea-Souper Edition

The past day or so has been quite chaotic in terms of Banderastan War news. For a few hours yesterday, there was all kinds of panic all over Russian Telegram channels about a major Ukrainian assault all across the nearly thousand-kilometre front line, and there were...
Friday T&A: Sinko the Mayo Edition

Friday T&A: Sinko the Mayo Edition

Back when I was living Stateside, in a part of the East Coast with a fairly substantial Hispanic population (in the Heights area, not downtown where I was), May the 5th was always this weird celebration of… something. I never managed to figure out what it was...
Friday T&A: Borked Edition

Friday T&A: Borked Edition

Yes, I know, today is not actually Friday. A combination of a busy schedule and sheer laziness has severely cramped my writing this week, even though events have moved forward at an extremely fast pace. It can’t really be helped – as one of you pointed out...
Friday T&A: Weimar Wipeout Edition

Friday T&A: Weimar Wipeout Edition

Travelling through the West, as I have done repeatedly over the last few years, one gets a distinct sense that things are falling apart at increasingly high speed. You don’t need me to tell you this, of course – you can see it with your own two eyes....
Friday T&A: Jaegerinha Edition

Friday T&A: Jaegerinha Edition

This has been yet another one of those weeks when YEARS’ worth of changes happen in the space of mere days. As the Russian offensive in Bakhmut/Artyomovsk grinds to its inevitable and extremely bloody end, we can see seismic shifts happening all over the world,...
Friday T&A: Bunny Boiler Edition

Friday T&A: Bunny Boiler Edition

Unlike previous instalments, which were late because of laziness and, frankly, a severe lack of motivation on the part of yer very ‘eavy, very ‘umble servant, this week’s entry into the most beloved series on the site is late with very good reason....
Friday T&A: April Showers Edition

Friday T&A: April Showers Edition

Yes, I know this one is late (again). No, I don’t really have an excuse (again) – though, admittedly, I was travelling for business (again) and had to spend a couple of hours on a train full of drunken idiots (again). Amazingly, the train itself managed...
Friday T&A: De Facto the Matter Edition

Friday T&A: De Facto the Matter Edition

This past week has seen earthshaking changes, the likes of which only come along once or twice a century. I do not exaggerate when I state that we are witnessing the collapse and rise of entire empires before our eyes. That is the magnitude and import of the summit...
