Here’s one for ya: Hermes killed Thoth and got the knowledge of alchemy from him, resulting in the syncretic creation of Hermes Trismegistus and the hermetic tradition. Then later we killed Hermes and got the scientific method.

At the board meeting, I want to hear when they decided to broadcast that they’re expecting to get sued, but in a really cute way

We’ve all heard talk about “hybrid warfare” and how Russian intelligence has done some amazing thing in the last decade, but it really is just “promote bad leaders to break democracies abroad”. Statecraft is so much easier when you can pick your own adversaries.

That’s not what I’ve heard

Fine by me

I haven’t tried them, I tell myself it’s likely to be quite a mild flavour. If I’m in the mood for a tea that doesn’t taste like tea, I’ll take a glass jar full of loose leaf and soak it in huge amounts of cinnamon and orange essential oils. Give that a few days to cure, and it makes a powerful, warming, sugar-free yet sweet, and nose-punchingly fragrant tea. Enough cinnamon oil and it can strip the paint off a wall, and that’s how I like it. Stole the idea from the specialty tea shop in Pike Place Market, Seattle.

Important browser opinions in a meme community, cheap thrills I guess.

I’m still not sold that LM is the real perp tbh, it’s too tidy. Also his manifesto looked like it was written in about five minutes.

Thanks for the recommendation, I hadn’t heard of ironfox

See, this is how I knew you were just being a shit. You accuse me of complacency but you have no suggestions. Fucking turd behaviour.

Really. Lance what boil? Do what, exactly? What box are you imagining I haven’t ticked?

Say the same thing, but without using a single metaphor

Can I have like, the one scrap of false hope, just as a treat?

Nobody really cares about the guy who died, despite corporate media insisting on our sympathy for months. They figured out we can’t be fucked about the sorry sonofabitch, so they’re hoping we forget about the whole business while trying to censor talk of LM off of all major social media platforms. Sure does help that so much news and social media are owned by the same fuckers.

The only real solution is to actually care enough about the work to read the email. The trouble is that so many companies these days do meaningless middleman shit that people couldn’t give a fuck about. We’re headed straight for an economy substantially consisting of work that doesn’t matter, largely being done by bots that can’t think properly.

… Which would be fine I guess, as long as the ruling class would be so good as to offer a substantial sinecure to the populace. But instead they will likely insist that we quietly die someplace they don’t have to watch.

I had really good success doing a daily page of A5, few months ago tried to upgrade to doing art least 1 page of A4 per day. I’ve slightly fallen off the habit.

Thank fucking god, it’s been a minute since I heard anything that makes sense from this government

I’ve heard the inattentive type is more common among women. My wife definitely fits the description. People usually mistake the blank stare for intimidation, but I know better. (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з⁠(•_•⁠ ⁠)

It still trips me out that visible light, infrared, microwave radiation, radio waves, x-rays, ultraviolet, and even laser beams are all just photons.

Particle radiation is a whole other can of worms. It boggles the mind.

As long as they kept the nasty coat made of stitched together mouse pelts.
