“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.”
Today is National Overeating Day in the (Former) United States of America, the one day of the year when you can gather your whole family around and have a pitched battle – not over politics, religion, or vaccine status, but over who gets the turkey drumstick. It...
Seeing as this is the 105th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the Great War, and seeing as we are now already deep into World War III (or IV, if you believe – with, in my view, good reason – that the Cold War was the third one), it is worth...
It is very difficult, even for me, to watch the unfolding catastrophe in Israel dispassionately. The pictures and videos coming out of Gaza are horrific – lifeless bodies of children; a video of rescuers uncovering the dead bodies of a father clutching his daughter as...
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...
I am very pleased to present a guest poast from LRFotS Randale6 – he of the long and persistent Domain Query requests. He has taken the time to write an article about Linux gaming, somewhat in the style of the old Reaxxion articles, if anyone remembers those....
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 –...
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...
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...
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...
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...
