Friday T&A: Word to the Weiss Edition

Didact — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 23:14:26 +0000

The clown car crash that is the Drumpf White House continues, with the hiring and firing, in record time, of the latest Press Secretary. It is amusing, in a rather sordid way, though the internal chaos in the current Administration really just reflects how disjointed and disconnected the policies are. And that, unfortunately, is a […]

Friday T&A: Fuelled Edition

Didact — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:31:56 +0000

Yes, this is late again, and that is because I was at a concert on Friday, and then spent most of Saturday recovering. If you have ever been to a death metal concert – never mind a Viking death metal concert – you know how much that takes out of you, especially as you get […]

Friday T&A: Border Dispute Edition

Didact — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 23:14:23 +0000

I missed the instalment from last week, out of a combination of sheer laziness, and a dire need for sleep (due to having what in most cases amounts to a mild cold, but for some reason ended up being a proper Man-Flu). So, this week, in the wake of the MFIC’s Valdai speech, we have […]

Friday T&A: Golden Roofs of Miklagaard Edition

Didact — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 21:13:33 +0000

I am finally back after a couple of weeks off, during which time I was essentially doing a whole lot of nothing. And that was no bad thing. This description is not entirely accurate, of course, but this was a family trip, not a solo one, and as such, the pace of movement was significantly […]

Friday T&A: Love Bites Edition

Didact — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 16:50:22 +0000

At this rate, I suppose I really should rename this segment, “Weekend T&A”, but that really does not have quite the same ring to it. So we will stick with what works – for now. The title of this poast comes directly from the name of the lovely lady of the week. This here is […]

Friday T&A: Freefall Edition

Didact — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 12:44:10 +0000

This poast is rather late, even by my quite dreadful standards, but all I can say is that it was a busy week that required some HARDCORE recovery. And that is precisely what I was doing yesterday. Part of that process involved a Netherflix documentary about Boeing, which is quite interesting, and genuinely terrifying in […]

Friday T&A: Binface Edition

Didact — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 13:11:28 +0000

People living in PommieBastardLande have been subjected to a very weird spectacle over the past few weeks, wherein one Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party – which is really just WEForm, to be honest, but that is another matter – got into serious trouble for taking a £5M donation from a wealthy crypto-bro, and […]

Friday T&A: Death Becomes It Edition

Didact — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 21:12:32 +0000

I am in an especially antisocial mood this weekend, having spent quite a bit of it on the road, and the rest of it bored out of my gourd at an, admittedly very pretty and scenic, office deep in the countryside. This has been one of those weeks where you kind of have to show […]

Friday T&A: Very Strongly Edition

Didact — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 23:13:36 +0000

We somehow made it through another week without Ornj Boi doing something REALLY stupid and then calling it the greatest thing ever, with very strong results that no one else has ever achieved. So that is something to celebrate, I suppose. The problem is, of course, that Drumpf – or whoever it is that is […]

Friday T&A: Black Sea Blues Edition

Didact — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 23:20:10 +0000

The Black Sea is a part of the world that most people in the West are not terribly familiar with, unless they happen to have spent some time in Bulgaria, Turkey, or the other bits of the eastern Mediterranean. It is, of course, a very historic area, and served as a major focus for trade […]
