“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.”

A rather piquant video has been making the rounds on teh innarwebz, showing a Federal BATFE agent being arrested and tased by local police in the USA for, basically, being a colossal arse. The whole clip is well worth enjoying in full, simply to get a feeling for the...

“We gotta eject, Mav!!!”

Gentlemen, have any of you ever tried ground turducken? This is a particularly weird kind of “pseudo-roast” that comes from stuffing a deboned chicken into a deboned duck into a deboned turkey. Apparently, this odd concoction is popular in certain parts of...

Stepping on the dragon’s tail

Note: this is an expanded version of a long-form set of posts that I shared with my Telegram channel members earlier today. I have read a number of opinions this morning that China took a big L with respect to Nasty Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan yesterday. In my...

… he’s going to ask for a glass of bilk

Chaps, do y’all remember that post that I wrote a few weeks back about the tragicomic case of a low-Delta guy living with his baby-mama, who took in a Ukrainian refugee and then ended up running away with her? Well, it turns out that there have been a number of...

Scrubbing away the veneer

Quite a while ago, when he appeared as a guest on THE GREATEST TV SHOW OF ALL TIME, a certain Boris Johnson was asked by Ye Greateste Livinge Englisheman, the legendary philosopher Clarksonius, to explain exactly what his core characteristics are. The words uttered by...

Domain Query: The Evil That Men Do

LRFotS Randale6 wrote in earlier this week to request my take on a very important, indeed fundamental, question about the human condition – and he did it by quoting Spaceballs. Now, when a Christian nerd gets a question from another sci-fi nerd phrased...
