“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.”

The 2,000th

That’s right, boys, this marks the two thousandth post at this ‘ere very ‘eavy, very ‘umble blog since it got started on January 1st 2013. That’s 2,077 days worth of blog life, and near-as-dammit one post per day. (For the maths nerds...

War and Culture, Pt. 3: The Breaking

The picture here may be stupid, but it actually refers to the classic Marvel “Civil War” comic book crossover arc. And it so happens that there are good reasons for my picking this particular image and theme – quite aside from the fact that I am a...

While we’re discussing rednecks…

… here are a few songs of the South that I actually happen to like – because, hey, they’re good. A reader sent over a few song recommendations for some deep-fried country music. Now, I realise that to most people it must seem extremely weird that a...

The power and the glory

Seeing as how it is Sunday – well, it is for me, anyway – and given that I am in a thoroughly pagan land, I figured it might be useful to take a look at how God’s grace can transform even the worst of men. If you do not know who David Wood is, I...

High price paid

About 15 months ago I wrote a post in which I pointed out that, from the perspective of the highly intelligent, the reason why they are alone is not because of themselves – but because of other people. It is immensely taxing upon the patience and mental...

Good choice

Via Power Line, that is a tweet from His Paxness from back in the days when he was still allowed to post on Twatter. It’s a brilliant quip. In order to understand why, it is worth taking a brief detour through the Progressive Era and the resulting horrors of WWI...

Solid advice

“Fiona Shackleton” is not a household name in the United States of America – or pretty much anywhere else, outside of PommieBastardLand. Or even in Ye Olde Englande, for that matter. But within aforementioned PomInfestedPlace, she is quite well...

What “Golden Age”?

Of all of the lies told by Islamic apologists to defend their chosen “religion” – really a political ideology, and a particularly violent and noxious one, wrapped in the mantle of faith and ritual – one of the absolute worst is the notion that...

Why they lose

The current Hungarian foreign minister, a reasonably well-built, bespectacled, cleft-chinned chap by the name of Mr. Peter Szijjarto, has come to my attention recently for his extremely satisfying beat-downs of liberal Western “journalists” and...

Wall smash

The Wall is not merely the name of a (rather overrated) PINK FLOYD album. It is a well-known and well-discussed concept within the ‘Sphere that drives home the point that a woman’s youth, beauty, and fertility are her greatest assets – and that these...
