“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.”
It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that we are all trapped in some sort of waking nightmare, at this point. A big part of the reason why this poast is two days late – other than sheer laziness on the author’s part, and exhaustion due to travelling,...
Today is, of course, Friday the 13th, and for those of you who know your history, according to one theory, that is an infamous day on which the Order of the Poor Knights of Saint John – a.k.a. the Knights Templar – were rounded up and accused of the most...
To call this an “eventful” week is to indulge in masterly understatement. This past Sunday, we witnessed the Ukrainians pull off one of the craziest, stupidest, most provocative stunts imaginable, when they attacked the strategic bomber arm of the Russian...
Poasting has, of course, been nonexistent over the past week, because… well, I don’t actually have a very good reason, to be quite honest. On Monday, we were out with friends for 8 hours, and as anyone who is an extreme introvert (about 90% of my...
This week’s edition is, of course, a couple of days late, and that is my fault (though not entirely, a few things got in the way, including a mostly impromptu driving trip that ended in a lot of rain and some funny memories). Nonetheless, we are still in...
At long last, the site (or rather, its author) is BACK. More or less. I had hoped to resume full writing duties by earlier this week, but, well, let us just say that a few things got in the way. Having been through this cycle a few times, I have learned a few lessons...
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...
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...
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...
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...
