“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

This is what we’re up against

The Right’s blogging and media arms have been blowing up over recent videos posted by citizen activists and real journalists like Andy Ngo – yep, the very same libertarian-ish Asian gay guy from the true new media outlet Quillette who was assaulted by...

A life for a life

A hard lesson from the Dirt World

Do y’all remember what I wrote recently about how India has a serious illegal immigration problem from Bangladesh? Here is a rather good take on the subject that goes beyond simple anecdotal evidence, from Daniel Greenfield: India’s 2,582 mile border with...
