A visit to the Soviet Institute of the Sun in Uzbekistan, where I was (as will be shown later) granted access to an inaccessible part of the complex.

My phone just fell five floors down an elevator shaft, hit the railing on the first floor which instantly shattered its cheap casing, then landed on a nearby beanbag full of stray kittens and escaped all possible damage. I am fated to post.

I see Sir John Falstaffe building his Big Blue Tower. He is placing millions of blocks.

When you see the rows of anonymous tombstones propped up against the churchyard wall outside some great grey Hawksmoor thing, that's what I'd like, a Proper London plot, I know where I'm heading

The concept of a family mausoleum is so awful, the idea that when it's over & both sides of the ledger are tallied up & the book is shut, you have to go to one long endless Boxing Day lunch with all the great aunts & uncles, the endless 'Wow, you've gotten so big!'

Hitler's Sun in Taurus forms a right square to Saturn in Leo, a configuration which causes the hostility and betrayal of one's servants.

The phrase "in a world increasingly starved of romance" as an Achilles' paradox wherein the point at which the world being completely starved of romance is never fully met, and so one can say it forever.

Malfoid is quietly becoming a symbol of the West's cultural counter-revolution. In a world increasingly starved of romance, devotion and anything worth building a future around, a fictional girl seems to have awakened something long dormant.

It is basically insulting that most of the defenses of astrology in our sphere are that it was vaguely important to people in the past, therefore I will mention that it was vaguely important to people in the past and never study it enough to argue the specifics.

The history of astrology in the West is that a handful of Platonists deliberately hijacked astrology as it had previously been practiced for two thousand years and invented most of its language and concepts as a total system in the span of about a century.

Astrology is not a “for girls” it’s one of the oldest and most pervasive bodies of knowledge in the history of human civilization, and interesting at least on that basis and probably a few others.

It is distinguished from any defense of astrology's general importance to the history of civilization. It has to be defended with specificity. Its inventors were arguing for a specific philosophy that they felt had to be believed in without compromise for their system to work.

Woman says this, men will volunteer themzelves to be seen, and then men will see those men doing it and this is how a capeshit point is born.

Boys seem to nearly universally - usually in their early teenage years - experience something that breaks their hearts in such a specific way as to emotionally cauterize them. So many of them go from being sweet little guys to internally numbed, externally nonchalant performers.

Stone Cold Steve Austin took his entire gimmick (non-pejorative) from a wrestler who would wear swastikas and cut promos about whipping blacks.

@HoopsCraveOct 19
Stone Cold Steve Austin’s ex-wife Debra reportedly claims he was racist during their marriage: “He would only allow me to attend NHL games, never NFL or NBA games.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Debra Marshall has never made this claim or quote about Steve Austin restricting sports attendance or racism. Her documented interviews and biographies discuss only domestic issues and steroids in their marriage; the post is from a self-described parody account. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debra_Mar… foxnews.com/story/exclusiv… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Col… x.com/HoopsCrave

The Pleasure had by the rioters. The Pleasure had by the people dancing. Connor Tomlinson's Pleasure at encountering a heavy-handed metaphor for his own worldview - the sum total of Pleasure Had in this post is obscene. Everybody is getting off and getting away with it.

If ever there were a metaphor for why our nations are in ruin, it's a bunch of Boomers dancing on the banks of the Seine while the sons of the third world burn Paris to the ground.

This is WN 48 MKB Longues-sur-Mer, Normandy and the M262 bunker for Fire Control. I haven't been here in years & the entrance to the M262 has been fenced off for a long time, but as luck would have it the fence was under repair & I was able to have an exquisite visit inside #WW2
