“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.”

Spirit of Spartans

Now this is what I call an epic workout: Of course, it’s still not nearly as badass as the original which inspired it: 300, by the way, is one of my favourite movies of all time. It’s unapologetically non-PC, deeply offensive when viewed through certain...

Crossing the Rubicon

Up until fairly recently, the #Gamergate thing was one of those routine storms in a teacup that flares up from time to time between those of us who like a bit of order and sense in the world, and those Morlocks* among the “social justice” set who stand...

How not to get your ass shot off

Listen to Popp, you’ll live longer and it’s good for your mental health: Also, can I just say- “Hot Fuzz” is quite possibly THE FUNNIEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME (that isn’t called “Spinal Tap”, anyway). Share this: Share on X (Opens...

The Second Amendment, in simple English

Trust good old Bill Whittle to put the 2nd Amendment in terms that even the average brain-dead liberal should be able to understand: I especially like what he did when he rephrased the 2nd Amendment in terms of an inalienable right to read books. Try this on the next...

The Holy Land

God didn’t pick us because we were weak or would run from danger. We’ve taken murder and sorrow and humiliation for six thousand years and we have kept faith. We have outlived everyone who has tried to destroy us. Can’t you see it, Kitty? … this...

Eros mocks Mars

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...

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...

Pussies

That is the only appropriate adjective that can be used to describe the British Advertising Standards Agency, when they banned the truly awesome new ad for the truly awesome new Jaguar F-type coupe. Which just so happened to star Tom Hiddleston, who is apparently tied...

Don’t trust the police

These days it is pretty rare for me to find something over at Return of Kings that I genuinely think is worth reading. (There are a few very notable exceptions, such as frequent RoK contributor Quintus Curtius, who always has something interesting to say.) That...
