“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.”

Don’t be “nice”

The other day, Didact Sr. and I were having a conversation in which my father uttered perhaps the most unusual words I’ve ever heard him say. We were discussing my sister and her rather irritating self-centred tendencies. It was at about the point where I was...

Messing up matriarchy

Recently I finished up Karen Traviss’s final book of the Kilo-Five Trilogy, titled HALO: Mortal Dictata. The book itself was interesting enough, I suppose; at any rate, her work in the HALOverse did a lot to raise my dismally poor opinion of her work,...

A very Gamma movie

The other day I wrote up a post aboutKingsman, possibly the best movie released in at least the last six months (and maybe even better than American Sniper), and one of the absolute best movies that I’ve ever seen. That movie delivers home truths...

Count the mistakes

Back before I came across the Manosphere, I did things along the lines of what the guy in this video did when on a blind date with a “female” bodybuilder: (I use quotes simply because female bodybuilders have to take serious amounts of testosterone in the...

Crapping on CrossFit (again)

The CrossFit Craze continues to provide LOTS of material for the rest of us to laugh at: Honestly the only part of that video that wasn’t hilariously funny was the bit where the weightlifter failed to put up that Atlas stone. That wasn’t funny at all- I...

There are no shortcuts

Return of Kings recently featured a sponsored post by none other than Mr. Six Pack Shortcuts himself, Mike Chang. It makes for interesting reading, to say the least- though not perhaps in the way you might think at first: I’ve been a daily reader of Return Of Kings...

At least she’s a cheap date

Apparently, Faceborg COO and irritatingly smug feminist Sheryl Sandberg thinks that a man can get laid like tile as long as he actually sweeps the tiles: If we are to believe one of the world’s wealthiest feminists, the route to a man getting a rich and...

Bring Back Clarkson!

I’d watch it. Over, and over, and over again. Just like I already do. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the BBC’s ideological purge of Jeremy Clarkson on what appears to be rather flimsy grounds is going to backfire in truly...

Let them get their faces punched in

What follows is even stupider than this It would appear that the Rowdy One thinks that she could take on the boys and win- or at least, she could if they are her size: UFC women’s bantamweight champion and all-around American badass Ronda Rousey said on ESPN’s...
