06.10.2025 08:07 โ ๐ 27 ๐ 10 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.
I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.
Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.
Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.
Call up the Illinois National Guard and call his bluff. Fight power with power use arms as necessary.

Sigh.

Grr.
I learned this afternoon that Otter Blotter is shutting their doors permanently on 10/13. I'm not happy. I just ordered a bunch more of their notebooks.

I was hoping to see this RR in motion, but the driver got in about 20 minutes ago and hasn't left yet. Given his attention to his phone as he made his way to the car, I'm guessing he's on a phone call.

03.10.2025 19:25 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I think this is a contemporary Rolls-Royce. Spotted in Fremont, CA, outside a Chick-fil-A.
With RR money, surely they could afford a Black Bear Diner. ๐๐๐
One of my favorite actresses, a very funny woman, Dame Patricia Routledge has left the building. RIP.

If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within,
what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?
I have a dozen pens inked and on my desk at the moment. Most will flow even after several days of without use. There are I think 10 different colors available to me this way and I use whichever one I fancy at the moment. I jot down quite a few notes during the day, and sketch, and do a daily tarot.
01.10.2025 16:05 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I use Otter Blotter A5 journals. They are fairly fountain pen friendly, though there can be soak through or ghosting if the ink is wet or the pen is bold.

Hello, fountain pen people.
My mechanic has these 2 fountain pens. The one on the top is a piston filler, and feels like celluloid (?), not ebonite.
What are these, and what might they be worth?
Making chicken Biryani for the first time tonight. Didn't have all the spices called for, but most of them. Recipe said 90 minutes to make...hah! We're at the 2 hour mark and it's still got about 20 minutes to go. The house smells amazing!
