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

Crazy Cat Lady Plays the Blame Game

I was going to post about this Daily Mail article pretty much as soon as I read it, but naturally Vox, since he is both much smarter than me and blessed with far greater amounts of blogging time than I am, beat me to the punch. Sneaky bastard… Anyway, I’m...

“Yeah, About Those Polar Ice Caps…”

“… we might have kinda sorta maybe goofed a little…”: The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained blocked by pack-ice all year. More than 20 yachts that had planned to sail it have been left ice-bound and a cruise ship...

Domain Query: Enduring the Long War

[Damn religious holidays… If it weren’t for the fact that Rosh Hashanah is today (and I didn’t know it), I could have reached out and punched someone at a Krav Maga class. Instead here I am writing a blog post… Oh well. If you happen to be...
