Happy Birthday to the Prophet Philip K Dick.🖤

Now Watching:

50 years ago Pier Paolo Pasolini was Assassinated in Ostia. He was killed because of what he Knew. 🖤

Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the Assassination of Pier Paolo Pasolini. Here's a good piece from The Guardian, published today. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

Demons and Christians long and timely Erik Davis rant tuning in particularly on the bizarro Tucker Carlson interview about the occult that name dropped all the usual oddities Burroughs, Gysin, John Lillly, Genesis P and old Uncle Aleister

My (very old) TV died over the Summer and so we've been deprived of our much cherished Film Night. But, now with a new tell, we're Back with an Italian Years of Lead classic, Sbatti il Mostro in Prima Pagina or: Slap the Monster on Page One! Starring the Almighty Gian Maria Volonte.👍

👍

9 years ago today the newly formed Psychedelic Detective Agency travelled to Kathmandu for the Ritual at the End of the World...and they were never the same again. To this day those events continue to baffle and enlighten.

All systems GO!

Phil Dick interviewed by his son, Christopher (aged 8). Winter, 1981. 🖤 www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5Qx...

I've been thinking about these 4 extraordinary gentlemen lately, and their strange experiences in the 70's. There appears to be some tangible truth to it all that is just out of my grasp. Leave it with me.

Blimey. Happy 150th Birthday to Mr Crowley. Complicated, Misunderstood, Inspiring.

I'm no expert, but I do have an abiding interest in the Book of Revelation and Eschatology in general...and this Wanker doesn't have a Clue. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Three outstanding books (especially VALIS)!* *I'm not down with Bezos nor ebooks but whatever floats your boat, man.

Stay Weird.

Alan Moore's BBC Storytelling course has been Unleashed! Head to the Playlist and the full 6 hours in one big bite are at the top.👍

Happy 50th Anniversary to the mighty Illuminatus! What a series of books that is. Read it, lose your mind, regain it, repeat. ✌️

Farewell Terence Stamp. Teorema Rules.👍

*Now* are you starting to see what PKD meant by "The Empire Never Ended?" It's a malevolent, super-intelligent single-celled entity traveling backwards through time, manifesting virally as it strives to maintain authoritarianism. I mean, it's PROBABLY just a metaphor....

New @johnhiggs.bsky.social News. A Lynch book! I actually sent him a DM at the very beginning of the year asking if anything of the sort was in the works (he was dropping some Lynch hints online) and he Lied to me! Fair enough. Anyway Higgs goes Lynchian. 👍 johnhiggs.substack.com/p/john-higgs...

A McKenna Archive! Maintained by a McKenna family member! Beautiful stuff.👍

Wasn't the Joannides/Oswald connection already declassified? I swear I already knew this. That said, just because I knew this doesn't mean that it had been declassified, right? Been up to my neck in JFK stuff since I was 16.👍 www.axios.com/2025/07/05/c...

Sunday Afternoon in Mayfair.

Happy Solstice Everybody. Here's Mr @johnhiggs.bsky.social with some words of reason. Hope all the UK folk are handling the heat well.👍 johnhiggs.substack.com/p/john-higgs...

It looks like the ITV YouTube page is steadily releasing every episode of The Prisoner. Here's Episode 1: ARRIVAL.👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajvd...

An excellent (and timely) piece from Adam Curtis, ahead of his forthcoming new documentary series.👍 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Farewell Brian Wilson. Godspeed.❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9ke...

JUDGE DREDD: REVOLUTION (1987) John Wagner and Alan Grant's Judge Dredd strips were terrifying warnings. Dredd goes way beyond the law to crush a peaceful Democratic march, finally cementing him as an unrepentant fascist (he's softened over the decades, but once a fascist...)

FUCK. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Happy Birthday to the Mighty Nancy Sinatra. Here's a Personal Favourite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMXH...

Lost in Tangier...Again.

Calling all Bob Wilson Heads! I got this book 2nd hand yesterday. It's the 2nd (1992) Edition and is advertised as having a new Intro by Tim Leary...but there isn't one! Checked the Page count and it's all fine. Anyone know what the deal is? #RAW #RobertAntonWilson #Illuminatus

NOW WATCHING:

New music from @mogwai.scot is always a Glorious thing, and this feels like an Instant Classic. Great stuff.👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=A03n...
