“What is truth?”

Didact — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 20:50:02 +0000

33 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests […]

It’s COMRADE Didact, you capitalist running dogs

I got a comment the other day on the Telegram channel, during a lively and spirited discussion about the merits of the metric system, when our resident Kraut shoved his liverwurst in and said, basically: You know Metric Mind Virus (MMV) is bad, when it has our humble host defending the commies… Well… you know […]

Monday morning memory lane

Didact — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 22:44:29 +0000

The weekend is over, and the blight of Daylight Savings Time has now fully hit the Western world. I have never understood the point of this particularly stupid idea, which robs us all of an hour of badly-needed sleep, and ruins the natural progression of the seasons. As C. S. Lewis once wrote to his […]

Sunday Scripture: The Triumphal Entry

Didact — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 23:07:33 +0000

11 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus[a] sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, […]

We are at OILCON 3

The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it. — Paul-Muad’dib Atreides, from DUNE by Frank Herbert The “Large-Scale Military Operation”, or “Special Combat Operation”, that most of us now dub Operation: AIPAC F***-UP, is now in its 29th day. Back when it all started, Angry Short Fat Trump told us that […]

Friday T&A: Structural Damage Edition

Didact — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:16:45 +0000

It would appear that the damage to the global economy from the insane (((Small-Hat))) war in the Middle East is approaching critical levels. Europe is sleepwalking into a nightmare, and its leaders are only now beginning to face up to the true horrors of the catastrophe about to unfold. Southeast and east Asia are grappling […]

The Bell-End Curve

Didact — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:05:57 +0000

There has been an interesting video going viral of late, from the channel BantuCityDiaries, which looks at the rather disheartening results of an impromptu IQ test administered to the residents of Nigeria’s capitol city, Lagos. The video is worth watching just for the amusement factor, if nothing else: You can practically feel the presenter’s disappointment […]

Monday morning pander bear

Didact — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 23:39:16 +0000

So we all managed to survive the weekend – just about – and Drumpf just pulled off a pretty impressive TACO play today. I suppose we should all be thankful for that – and, indeed, it is a VERY GOOD THING that he backed off on his frankly unhinged threat to bomb Iran’s power plants. […]

Friday T&A: Arrow to the Knee Edition

Didact — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 13:29:26 +0000

Well, the war in Iran grinds on, with no clear end in sight. By all appearances, Ornj Boi is desperate to get the hell out of a quagmire of his own choosing, which he NEVER should have started in the first place, and which all the evidence indicates Israel forced him into. None of that […]

“After three days of agonising pain… the snake died”

Didact — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 12:48:12 +0000

When news broke yesterday that the legendary Chuck Norris had died, I could not quite believe it, at first. Chuck was one of those figures that sort of inspired his own legend – preposterous though parts of that legend were. Those of us who actually followed his career and watched some of his movies, knew […]
