Anyone got any stocks of Johansen Virus?

SF/F author, veteran, general all-round badass, and sometime nutcase John Ringo created a sci-fi series about 8 years ago called Troy Rising, which described a near-future Earth under embargo by an alien race, and humanity’s response to it. The whole series is...

Do as they say…

The crocodile will still eat you

Drinking games with The Last Straw

Readers know by now just how much I absolutely loathed the steaming pile of bovine byproduct that was The Last Jedi. I regarded it as an absolute insult to the legacy of the greatest SF/F franchise ever made, and a slap in the face to all of us who once...

Domain Query: Fisking the FemPC

I got a comment from “kelley brannon” yesterday on my post criticising Cassie Jaye’s much-ballyhooed documentary, The Red Pill, and it is just too funny not to share and comb through carefully. You will see on display the full range of feminist NPC...
