“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.”
Northrop Grumman unveiled the B-21 Raider just over a week ago. Based on what I have seen of it thus far, it is likely to be the latest entry in the American Military-Industrial Complex’s very lengthy catalogue of hugely expensive and largely ineffective weapons...
This episode of Domain Query is in response to an excellent question from reader G W on my Didactic Mind Telegram channel. The question related to the possibility of an American debt default, and the consequences thereof. Essentially, I was asked: “what would be...
There has been quite a bit of traffic circulating of late about an article by one Emily Oster of a rather disreputable toilet-paper substitute (not a very good one, at that) called The Atlantic, in which she called for a “Pandemic Amnesty”. The responses,...
As you have no doubt heard by now, Prime Minister Chucky, aka Liz Truss, is no longer in charge of PommieBastardLande. She resigned earlier today, to the surprise of just about nobody, after spending just six weeks in office. That makes her the shortest-tenured Prime...

The picture you see above was taken early yesterday by Russians on the eastern bank of the Kerch Strait, a narrow (but still significant) body of water that separates the Crimean Peninsula from the Russian mainland. It shows the results of an attempt by the Ukrainian...
The Neo-Tsar has evidently had quite enough of dicking around in Banderastan. As I mentioned in my previous post on the subject, the referendums organised in the liberated territories of 404 are a specific, long-planned trigger for much harsher Russian actions that go...
You all know what today is. You all remember where you were, 21 years ago today. Think about that span of time carefully. If your child was born in that year, that same child would already have passed the ages of maturity for driving, voting, and drinking in the...
For those of you who don’t bother to keep up with politics in the Balkans – which is most of us, self very much included – then the whole kerfuffle between Serbia and the bit of the country that NATO illegally broke away from it by force and occupied...
