“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.”

Bugger this for a bag of Wookie-ookies!

Via our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) comes two bits of news that can only be described as “so incredibly stupid that they make the Death Star’s design flaws look sensible”. The first one concerns the “established canonical...

Ownage

It used to be easy for me to insult the New York F***ing Times by calling them ПРАВДА, which those of you who know your history will recognise as the state-run newspaper in Soviet times whose name meant, hilariously, “truth” in Russian. The Russkies...

Assholes get things done

I ran across this very special and very interesting “lost interview” of Steve Jobs, dating back to the mid 90s, which has to be watched in its entirety to be believed: This is especially germane given that the iPhone 11 was recently released. If ever there...

Grunt-work

Do YOU have what it takes to join Her Majesty’s Royal Marines? I’ll be very honest here: I sure as Hell couldn’t have passed that test, when I was 18. I was very fat and quite slow and my cardiovascular endurance was piss-poor. A year and a bit of...

How the swamp works

Until His Most August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra*, came along and completely overturned the apple-cart of the political establishment, we never really had a good term to describe the way...

The cancer is terminal

The following documents were leaked out of a… well, let’s just call it a REALLY FREAKIN’ BIG banking and financial services institution, you can easily see which one. This company helps facilitate global payment processing and you almost...

Yeah, sure he did

The paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell yesterday, as you all know by now. Evidently he committed suicide, probably because he couldn’t bear the weight of his crimes. And if you believe one single word of that last sentence, I...

This is what we’re up against

The Right’s blogging and media arms have been blowing up over recent videos posted by citizen activists and real journalists like Andy Ngo – yep, the very same libertarian-ish Asian gay guy from the true new media outlet Quillette who was assaulted by...

A life for a life

The question of whether or not to use the death penalty to punish truly evil criminals used to be a non-starter. You can go back over 10,000 years in history, and you will find that, all the way up until about the 20th Century, the death penalty was considered a...

Deadly nerdrage

Being outside of the USA means that the news cycle with respect to mass shootings tends to be quite a bit slower than it is Stateside, so I saw the news about the two deadly shootings in El Paso and Dayton rather a bit later than most of my readers did. Nonetheless,...
