“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.”
There has been quite a bit of traffic circulating of late about an article by one Emily Oster of a rather disreputable toilet-paper substitute (not a very good one, at that) called The Atlantic, in which she called for a “Pandemic Amnesty”. The responses,...
I am honoured to present another great guest post by our good friend, The Male Brain, who has very kindly taken it upon himself to translate from the original Hebrew an article about why universities and schools permit students to cheat. Indeed, they actually NEED...
As you have no doubt heard by now, Prime Minister Chucky, aka Liz Truss, is no longer in charge of PommieBastardLande. She resigned earlier today, to the surprise of just about nobody, after spending just six weeks in office. That makes her the shortest-tenured Prime...

The Domain Query series is finally back, after a long hiatus. This week’s question comes from a reader and subscriber to my Telegram channel – be sure to subscribe if you have not done so already, it’s a great community of like-minded men who...
