“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: Maximum Refund Edition

Riddle me this, Batman: How do you destroy a country in the shortest time possible? There are actually multiple answers to that question, but the best answer of the lot has to do with the derangement of the money supply. When you cheapen the money of a nation, you do...

Friday T&A: Effrontery Edition

I know shit’s weird and gettin’ weirder by the day, but this week had to be one of the weirdest in a while. Earlier this week, the Fake President and his Fake Maladministration appointed a mentally ill man, who thinks he is a woman, to the position of...

Friday T&A: Tuscan Marble Edition

What a week – it just whizzed by. I have been quite busy today, and will be all the way through the weekend too, so we’ll see if I have time to record a podcast. I certainly hope so – the long lapses in between podcasting are not good in terms of...

Friday T&A: Beach Bum Edition

After two weeks (or thereabouts) spent bumming around in [redacted], I’m back, I’m tanned (not that you can really tell), I’m refreshed, and I’m ready to get stuck into this whole shitposting business again. The vacation was immensely good fun,...

Friday T&A: Coastal Breeze Edition

Greetings from the coast of sunny [redacted]!!! The weather is warm – even for early autumn – and the beach is beautiful. Or at least, I think it is – I can’t actually see it from where I’m sitting. But around here, the women are pretty...

Friday T&A: Vacation Station Edition

Hail, fellows, and well met. Yours truly is finally on vacation in an undisclosed location, enjoying sunshine, beach weather, and cocktails. Or rather, in my case, a decent bottle of red wine. I’ve never understood the American and British predilection for beer,...

Friday T&A: Santa Lucia Edition

Brothers, if you’re wondering why events feel like they are rapidly spinning out of control, understand that this is how things always look when great empires fall. We’ve simply gotten far too used to comfort and ease in our lives. And make no mistake,...

Friday T&A: Towering Legacy Edition

Touching on the legacy of September 11, 2001, is likely a sore subject for many of my readers, and I wouldn’t blame anyone for reacting negatively for the fact that I’m posting eye-candy the day before the 20th anniversary of the single worst domestic...

Friday T&A: Guessing Games Edition

Gentlemen, this has been a difficult week for those of us who believe in truth, honour, and basic decency. We are watching the world as we knew it, collapsing before our eyes. I have often wondered what my Russian friends must have felt, watching the Soviet Union...

Friday T&A: Cultural Compatibility Edition

Gents, that surely was the Week from Hell – especially if you are an American with any faith whatsoever left in your blatantly evil government. The guy supposedly in charge is clearly a senile feeble old man who is being controlled by forces that he cannot...
