“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.”
No deep thoughts today, just straight on to the thot. I am simply too tired, and too talked-out, to do much by way of extra typing. Or thinking. Given I am suffering from a cold – no, not MAN-FLU, but simply a proper cold – I would much prefer to poast and...
Well, it would appear the long-awaited “retribution strikes” the FUSA military and civilian leadership has talked about for days now, have finally arrived. As of this writing, the strikes appear to be ongoing, but the American Empire has evidently bombed...
Things have been getting awfully interesting in a very big hurry with the FUSA this week. We have now seen 25 State Governors joining Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in basically telling the US Federal government to perform an anatomically impossible act. This is already...
Another week, another war, eh, boys? That is certainly how it seems nowadays. Conflicts are springing up all over the world, in very odd places. The most recent of them is a mutual exchange of missiles that threatens to blow up into a full-scale regional war in South...

It is perhaps not a good sign for the turning of the year that the very last instalment of this most beloved series on the site is late by a day, but honestly it was unavoidable. I spent all of Friday – and I mean ALL of it, from 5am onward – travelling,...
Gentlemen, I am back on the road today, heading toward Mordor to practice my Orcish dialects. I spent Christmas last year alone, which actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be – there is a lot to be said for going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve,...
Yes, I know, this edition is late. What can I say – it was a STUPIDLY busy week. I was literally travelling across, down, and back up the country, and by the time I got to about 4pm on Friday, I just said, “sod it”, and passed out on the couch for a...
As I may have said a few times before, there are days which seem to take years to pass, and then there are years which seem to pass in days. This year, 2023, certainly seems like the latter. We are already just three weeks away from the end of the year, and we are...
