“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 long, twilight struggle”

As the Cold War reached what mathematicians refer to in functional analysis as a “local maximum” during the late 1950s and early 1960s, American appeared to be on the back foot, retreating in the face of relentless Soviet pressure. The Warsaw Pact’s...

Why is this news?

American “football”- or, as the rest of the civilised world calls it, gridiron- is not something with which I ordinarily concern myself. I have no clue how it’s played, I just know that it’s a sort of sanitised version of rugby, played with...

Bonobo-Nose on multiculturalism

The lady with the giant nose and even more impressive lack of perspective is back- maybe that honking great wine-sniffer gets in the way of her field of vision?- and is wondering why we can’t all hold hands and sing kumbaya around the fire: In these...

Buyer’s remorse

From a while back, I know- but it’s becoming clear that the Magic Black President who was supposed to heal everything that is wrong with this country didn’t really work out that way: The trailers were great, but the movie was horrible.  Six years in,...

Repeatedly, thoroughly, and regardless of sex: When Sarah West was appointed the first female commander of a major Royal Navy Warship, she talked about the toll life on the sea had taken on her personal relationships. “There are drawbacks,” she said as she took charge...

President Jackass proves that he, and his idiotic multiculturalist agenda, is every bit as dysfunctional as his critics have been claiming for years: Take a White House state dinner and multiply it by 50. The result is the most elaborate and unusual dinner of...

A REAL yoof culture

Via Vox- who got this from Heartiste, who in turn got it from… well, somewhere- here is a video that, in a sensible world, would serve as a rallying cry across this country to the youngsters of today: As Vox pointed out in both of his blogs, this video is a sort...

Geeksploitation

Vox Day had some rather trenchant things to say about the H-1B “worker visa” programme yesterday, on the back of an interesting article that pointed out that companies are now using the H-1B system to force domestic IT workers to train their foreign...

Rediscovering the blindingly obvious

A female writer for the Telegraph belatedly discovers the basics of girl game: A few weeks ago, I was hanging out with some male friends [Didact: Translation- guys she would not sleep with] and conversation turned to which female celebrities would be on my...

Cultural Vandals

I first heard that phrase in connection with the controversy over whether or not the first Moon landing actually happened back in 1969*. It was used in a rather interesting BBC documentary- it might actually have been the History Channel, come to think of it- by...
