not to make light of all this but i am genuinely shocked by how shitty these boomer men are at writing emails. amazing they can understand each other at all

some very dumb mercury marstrograde shit going on here tweet in question was a repost of an article about johnny cash, with a reference to folsom prison blues ("i shot a man in reno just to watch him die") also identified the wrong date, it was actually 10/10 bsky should reinstate sarah kendzior!

it's giving strong and wrong

one of my favorite topics: exploring the messy, intricate reasons why it's not worth treating astrology as a replicable phenomenon to be proven or disproven though this thread is more expansive than that

i've been playing the (discontinued) switch edition of catan (not to be confused with the "console" edition) on and off for exactly 4 years and 2 days, and as of a few minutes ago i've now beaten every level in campaign mode on every difficulty maybe the most anticlimactic experience of my life 🤣

which nickname do you prefer for this transit? "mercury retromars" or the extremely unpleasant mouthfeel of "mercury marstrograde"

lol here's jimmy fallon's chart (birth time is 9:50am)

pretty incredible that that was most likely my final ballot cast in NYC in this era of my life 🥳

Saturn used to be associated with oceans why? because as the last and furthest planet visible to the naked eye, Saturn demarcated the boundary of what is known; the land and the tides lapping up to it, and the ruthless, indifferent threat of sickness and death on the sea

i know that astrological patterns contain meaning in much the same way i know that dreams are meaningful it's not something i could prove or measure, and i know other people experience dreaming differently than i do, but there's no unknowing what i know, the experience is simply too rich

when the mercury-mars conjunction in scorpio and the moon-venus conjunction in libra happen on the same day

conjunctions: we're blended, we're a chimera, we're peas in a pod, we're strange bedfellows sextiles: you get me, man squares: will you just go already? well then i'm going! trines: we're a team, what do you need oppositions: oh god, you again aversions: [ghostly wall tapping]

it's truly truly wild to see my conspicuously auspicious 40th solar return chart that i've been eyeing for quite a while now manifest in the world as the long-awaited hostage/prisoner exchange

Donald trump can still win the Nobel Peace prize if Mike Pence has the courage

this is genuinely mind boggling

it might be more important to find ways to pressure sinclair/nexstar (because they have leverage on disney/abc) but this is a start

since i ditched twitter (RIP) i've been really pedantic about the word "tweet" and i always say "post" on here, but i think i'm done with that twitter is dead, tweets no longer belong to twitter that's it, that's the tweet

broke - as above, so below woke - from below to above bespoke - 2 above 2 below baroque - above/below: salem nights

i think i've reached (surpassed) my daily dose of bad shit

i've seen people on here compare the insane charlie kirk martyr propaganda campaign to the story of horst wessel, a nazi paramilitary youth who was murdered by communists in 1930 and then became a huge propaganda symbol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W... i looked at both their charts side by side...

i'm reading (listening to) the book No Ordinary Time about the Roosevelts and the homefront during WWII and the cognitive dissonance between that time and this one hurts my brain anyway if this happens, however pathetic it may be, this is straightforward by-the-book fascism

The loser energy that radiates off "it's illegal not to like me" shit like this is palpable bsky.app/profile/zack...

Posobiec, Kirk’s frequent co-host on his podcast and a regular speaker at TPUSA events, was one of the key instigators of Pizzagate in 2017. His career started to really take off when Alex Jones started having him on his show. Doing politics the right way.

every time these people go on TV they are performing for an audience of one, which means if they want to stay in his good graces they need to say something as insane as he would say, which at least has the benefit of clarifying how insane the stuff he says really is

i know this has already receded from our minds, but re: the NYT article about sidereal zodiac vs the tropical zodiac... at some point during that perennial flare-up it occurred to me that saying the tropical zodiac is "wrong" is a bit like saying the celsius temperature scale is wrong

mind-boggling levels of out-in-the-open corruption. this is worth reading (or skimming cause it's long). the details are all there, but the situation is clear from a great distance: quid pro quo, trading international policy for personal enrichment (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

does this need to be said? does this need to be said by me? does this need to be said by me now?

this was supposed to be a joke before it became a real thread. if i'd known i was gonna do that i wouldn't have framed it as a trend; enemies-to-lovers is a forever trend. but i don't think it's a coincidence that Reconciliation of Opposites narratives are increasingly dark/abusive in These Times

hell of a way to find out i have the same birthday as ch*rlie k*rk mars on my sun was, uh, not so bad in retrospect

the enemies-to-lovers romantasy trend is the psyche's attempt to hold the tension of opposites until the transcendent function emerges and the wholeness of the self can be experienced -jung, probably

the other day i was sending more than one self-conscious clarifying follow-up texts to some friends to avoid offending or upsetting anyone and the phrase "libra mic drop" came into my head

for what it’s worth I think “fire RFK” is potentially a concrete ask that could work for the budget, assuming that Rs can’t get their shit together. Rs would probably like to be able to blame an RFK firing on Ds and I think that’s a totally acceptable trade

just came to understand how new age abuse of quantum mechanics as a vessel for mystical projection largely relies on a misunderstanding of the word "observed" and/or people take schrodinger's cat literally

the notion of this president firing anyone for mild (and unproven) real estate-related fraud is so many steps beyond merely ironic/absurd, we need to pioneer whole new categories of mind-boggling grotesquery to describe it

for any astrologers who read this thread (i resisted astrologizing), here's the chart for the 2015 campaign launch, with as good of a time as i could find. aside from the obvious ways this lines up with his natal chart, everything i wrote is so gemini-but-make-it-mars coded, it's pretty hilarious

for reasons unknown to me, i just read the transcript of trump's 2015 golden escalator campaign announcement, something i've never done. i've also never watched that full speech, but reading it was interesting because i had space to pause and think about the throughline of it all

As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.

i mean probably true statement when you consider that she was clearly never very concerned about sexual abuse, seeing as how she herself is a prolific sexual abuser this admin trying to turn maxwell into his exonerator via publicly corrupt means may be the single most grotesque thing i've ever seen

he just needed to get some altitude on something

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

two pieces on democratic party spam that are definitely worth reading. here's the first one: data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-most-v...

looking at this alignment in virgo i have one piece of advice: if you encounter some food that's past its prime but is "probably fine," maybe...don't?

hurry up and read jeanna's book!!! esp if you borrowed it from me (you know who you are)

if LLM ubiquity is really "inevitable" (but we also want to have a functioning society), i'm starting to wonder if Hyper-Detailed Manual Fact Checker is going to be one of the stable jobs of the future already sounds deeply grueling but it will be even harder as AI hallucination pollution grows

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

the new line of attack from the segregationists in power: all income-based scholarships are inherently reverse-racist www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi... (this is stephen miller's legal group)

the cancellation of the late show feels like succession season 4, like it's a totally impulsive decision by roman to appease mencken, to either kill or approve the merger it is even more bleak to see it in reality than it was in the show
