“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.”

And this is how it’s done

NOT the Halfbreed method. There are several introverted bloggers that I follow and actively read- Vox, Carey from Speakeasy(X), Blackdragon, UncleBob, etc. Halfbreed’s blog is more on the PUA/game side of things; while he doesn’t post often, he writes...

Natties and juicers

One of the most popular posts that I have ever written concerns the use of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancers to achieve gains and strength and body composition results that would otherwise be impossible for natural lifters like me. In that post, I...

Teh gheyness is NOT the norm

The always delightful and always outspoken Ms. Barnhardt- she of the hilariously awesome Koran + bacon + lighter fluid video from a couple of years back- came up with a great sci-fi analogy to explain how our most important and cherished institutions have been...

Normally I rather agree with what the contributors write over at Return of Kings. Recently, though, one article caught my attention and I couldn’t help but chuckling at its advice: There are many different ways to strengthen the mind such as traveling and...

Unleashing beast mode

Mike Tuscherer is one of the best drug-free powerlifters in the world, which is sort of like saying that you’re one of the best anything in the world. He posted a video a little while back about how to push through the mental barriers that stop you from...

“Yes dear, you ARE fat”

The Daily Mail asked three very different couples whether they had broken what the Cathedral thinks is a serious taboo in marriage- and got three very interesting answers: Emily says . . . My first child, Henry, was just hours old when I noticed my husband Tim’s...

Amnesty = Lunacy

Jim Goad has an interesting article over at Taki’s Magazine that dumps a tub of ice-water on the notion that this country somehow needs to grant amnesty to millions of invaders who have openly flouted your laws: President Barack Obama—who would never lie…at...
