“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.”

Dust to dust

Dust to dust

No matter how good one’s life, no matter how much God has given us through His grace and mercy, there are days when men like us wonder why we are on this Earth. We struggle to understand our true purpose in life, our mission. It happens to the best of us, and it...
The anti-Karen

The anti-Karen

Everyone knows the “Karen” meme – the bossy, unpleasant, grating woman who starts out by demanding to speak with the manager, and just gets much worse from there. She is anti-feminine in every way – difficult, overbearing, loud, sometimes foul-mouthed, and absolutely...

Didactic Mind, Ep 123: Force of Habit

The Didactic Mind podcast is BACK with an all-new episode – the first in nearly 6 months – to kick off 2026. This podcast is all about how we avoid the stupidity and nonsense of “New Year’s Resolutions”, and instead focus on building...
The Omega Kid

The Omega Kid

Most of us cannot be arsed to follow the drama and nonsense of the “fitness influencer” world. We can hardly be blamed for this, given how absurd the whole thing is. As far as I can tell, that entire scene consists of roided-out meatheads pretending they are natural...
Life at the inflection point

Life at the inflection point

Once you reach a certain age, you have to come face-to-face with some hard realisations – that your life has not panned out quite the way you wanted it; that half of it is over, and you might not have anything to show for it; and that, despite your best efforts, you...

Piling higher and deeper into a fitness fustercluck

A very weird bit of internet drama blew up over the last few weeks. Most of you have probably never heard of a guy named Dr. Mike Israetel, who runs a YouTube channel called “Renaissance Perioditization”, or something like that. He has a doctorate in… well, something...

It’s not funny anymore, Ornj Boi

If you have been keeping up with the latest Trumper Tantrums on TROOF Social, then you will know that Drumpf seems to have gone completely off the rails of late. It is actually embarrassing to watch. All I can do when commenting on this, is to say that Angry Short...
White is all right

White is all right

The picture you see above, comes from an advertisement campaign launched by the American Eagle clothing brand. I cannot say I have any experience whatsoever with that brand, but they seem to have dumped half a hundredweight of wasabi straight into the tremendously...
The only lifting shoes you need

The only lifting shoes you need

Those of you who have been around for a while, know quite well that I advocate strongly for powerlifting as a way of building strength and power quickly, efficiently, and (relatively) safely. I have no patience for body-part split routines, or for multi-hour workouts,...
