“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.”
Microsoft Windows 10 reached its end-of-life date 11 days ago, on October 14, and that means most of you who are NOT on Linux right now, have absolutely no choice but to upgrade your machines and/or install WinDOZE 11. This is a much worse deal than you might think....
Once you reach a certain age, you have to come face-to-face with some hard realisations – that your life has not panned out quite the way you wanted it; that half of it is over, and you might not have anything to show for it; and that, despite your best efforts, you...
A very weird bit of internet drama blew up over the last few weeks. Most of you have probably never heard of a guy named Dr. Mike Israetel, who runs a YouTube channel called “Renaissance Perioditization”, or something like that. He has a doctorate in… well, something...
In relation to my last poast about casualties in the Banderastan War, one question that keeps coming up, over and over again, is the obvious one: why, if the Russians have such overwhelming superiority over the Ukrainians, are they taking so bloody long? This question...
I am pleased to present the second of a pair of guest poasts that LRFotS Randale6 sent over from his fortress-lair, somewhere on the Asian steppes. In this instalment, our friend analyses the archetypes of the socio-sexual hierarchy by looking at past (and one...
LRFotS Randale6 wrote to me before I went on vacation to offer up a couple of guest poasts, which I am finally getting around to publishing. The first is essentially a repeat – well, in part – of a great big long write-up that he did on his site, on how...
Now that the summit between the Neo-Tsar and the God-Emperor in Alaska is over and done with, and at least a day has elapsed since all that kicked off, we can now take a moment to step back and assess things a bit more dispassionately. Personally, I never had any...
The painting you see up top is of course Picasso’s “masterpiece”, Guernica. I am not a fan of modern art, at all, but that painting is considered one of the greatest of the 20th Century. I cannot say I particularly care for it, but it does have a rather harrowing...
The picture you see above, comes from an advertisement campaign launched by the American Eagle clothing brand. I cannot say I have any experience whatsoever with that brand, but they seem to have dumped half a hundredweight of wasabi straight into the tremendously...
Some of the older geezers among my readership may remember a movie called The Truman Show. This movie has become something of a cult classic, as far as I understand it, and was one of those films that showed just how good an actor Jim Carrey really is. For those of...
