“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.”

Troublesome Solutions

Posting has been, and will probably continue to be, a bit light this week due to all of the work required to pack up all of my stuff, put it into storage, and move out of my place. I will in fact be leaving the US in a little over a week’s time, and it is not...

Hamid’s got that hangry feeling…

Another year, another Ramadan, and another several dozen people killed and injured by those peaceful, peace-loving, peaceable peaceniks of the Religion of Peace: Islamic terrorists have massacred at least 41 people and injured 102 in the first four days of the holiest...

How did I not know about this before?!?

Our beloved Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) has indicated that the time is right for the return of the meme. All I have to say is… how the HELL is it possible that I have never heard of Orcposting before?!? It turns out that there are some absolutely hysterical memes...

Bah, humbug!

Apparently someone famous got married to someone else famous over in the United Kingdom of Used To Be Great, and like all y’all, I just could not be bothered to call it a “royal marriage”, because it isn’t one. Nor can I be bothered in the...

Karmic justice

Exactly a year ago I wrote about how the superb ABC comedy Last Man Standing, starring really-for-real Hollywood right-winger Tim Allen, was canned by its home network because… reasons. It was a truly retarded decision at the time, and has since been...

SkyNet awakens

The latest developments from the company that hypocritically tells itself, and us, not to be evil, are pretty damned impressive – and equally creepy: Google today opened its annual I/O developer bash with details of how it’s going to lob machine-learning...

Brother knows best

With the pending nuptials of the ginger-haired younger Windsor royal to the Half-Blood Princess coming up, Meghan Markle’s half-brother has penned a rather dire, and probably quite timely, warning to Prince Harry: Dear Prince Harry, It’s not too late, Meghan...

Bullshido by any other name…

… still smells just as foul: I came across that Marie Claire “self-defence” video for wimmenz sometime last year, I think. One of the black belt instructors at my school saw that in his Instagram feed and showed it to a gang of us while we were...

Battle hymns

As we all know, if you are going to march off to war – or do anything manly and therefore worth doing – it always helps to be in the right frame of mind. And the best way to get into that frame of mind is through using music designed specifically to put...

Gone but never forgotten

Leslie Nielsen’s form of deadpan, bone-dry humour was not perhaps everyone’s cup of tea, but I have very fond memories of some of his greatest hits like Airplane! and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. And it must be said, there were times when Mr. Nielsen...
