“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.”

Much ink has been spilled over the last few days in the wake of the meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between the Ukrainian and American delegations. After that long meeting on Monday – which apparently lasted something like eight hours – the two parties issued a joint...

An irrational poem in iambic diameter

Today is Pi Day, and that will mean precisely NOTHING to the 99.14159265897% of you who are not, for some strange reason, tickled by numerological nitwittery, the way maths majors (like me) are. Of course, I can hardly blame you for this. Irrational constants like π...

An open letter to Elon Musk on the H-1B

The following is an open letter to Elon Musk, on the subject of the H-1B visa, which has stirred up a considerable, very noisy, and somewhat profane debate on X. Mr. Musk posted some, shall we say, strong sentiments about those who criticise the H-1B, claiming he will...

Deep-fake deepthots

No, this is not Friday arriving early. There is actually a serious point to this poast. The picture you see up top is from an Instathot who goes by the name of “Floriana Hazel”. She is, by all appearances, in that picture, at least, a lovely, radiant young woman. She...
