“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.”

This is your brain on MAFF

This is your brain on MAFF

As Grandpa Grumpuss pointed out in a recent poast of his, MAFF can get PRETTY DAMN WEIRD at times. He went out there on TEH INNARWEBZ and found a video of a maths professor talking about the hardest class in the subject he had ever taken. And, if you watch the video...
Domain Query: Wife-Hunting Post-Plandemic

Domain Query: Wife-Hunting Post-Plandemic

Here we are, back with another Domain Query episode. This one is perhaps the most complex and demanding topic ever, because it touches on so many different things. As with the previous episode, this comes via a query from LRFotS Randale6, who asked –...
Operation Shock and Horror

Operation Shock and Horror

Pretty much everyone paying any attention to the news (for what that is worth, nowadays, and that is not very much), knows by now of the very serious escalation in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, which kicked off today. As of this moment, details are still...
The visionary of Valdai

The visionary of Valdai

If ever you want to understand how and why the West seems to be losing on every front, all you have to do is to watch the leaders of the Western bloc’s geopolitical rivals, when they speak in public. We had one such opportunity this week, when the Neo-Tsar held...
How to take the hobbits past Minas Morgul

How to take the hobbits past Minas Morgul

I realise I am rather stretching the LoTR metaphors to, and probably past, the breaking point, with respect to visiting Russia, but I think it is worth taking some time to sit down and write about what it now takes to visit Mordor. Things have changed dramatically in...
A messy end to a strange life

A messy end to a strange life

I have refrained on commenting at any great length about the catastrophe which befell the Embraer jet owned by one Evgeniy Prigozhin two days ago, mostly because the situation was so strange and so fluid. Now the Neo-Tsar has effectively confirmed Prigozhin’s...
Didactic Mind, Ep 112: The Itchy Red Blanket

Didactic Mind, Ep 112: The Itchy Red Blanket

This episode of Didactic Mind is all about the misguided and very foolish return of Stalinism as an in-vogue political and social philosophy. This all came about because of the recent appearance by one Jackson Hinkle on Piers Morgan’s show (Lord,...
Competence is necessary but not sufficient

Competence is necessary but not sufficient

As noted earlier this week in the Great Mondaydact Browser Slayer, the long read of the week was an excellent bit of analysis on the decline, fall, and collapse of the Western world by Gaius Baltar, featured at Larry Johnson’s SONAR21 blog. As Mr. Baltar pointed...
Thot in the shell

Thot in the shell

A bit over a year ago, I wrote about the story of one Diana Deets, aka Coconut Kitty, who was (in)famous for posting pictures of herself on her Instaham account with VERY heavy filtering that made her look about half her true age. Sadly, the woman behind that account...
