Translation of Light Astrology

Social media post by Josh Crowley (sp?): If I build a big robot that consumed 33% of my state's electricity so it could go around stealing people's art I would be arrested, and that's how you know law is a social construct.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Comic 1 - man on phone STOP DOOM SCROLLING. 2 - man walking a dog thru a busted neighborhood, with for rent signs and trash. PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE AND TAKE A DOOMWALK OUTSIDE 3 - chugs from plastic bottle DOOMDRINK SOME WATER 4 - Inhales toxic air and exhales a skull DOOMBREATHE

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

When is it enough? 🤬🤬🤬

not so much looking for the shape
as being available
to any shape that may be
summoning itself through me
from the self not mine but ours.

Given that this government has imprisoned a Luigi and a Mario, it's only appropriate that it creates a Department of Wario

The business model of "make a useful thing people want" has been entirely supplanted by "make a thing that exfiltrates as much user data as possible, and sell it to Google"

Unfortunately working backwards from "How Might We... Steal User Data" doesn't produce inspiring products!

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk.

He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hrs with no prep:

1) astrology
2) genetic genealogy
3) more astrology

Just wanna point out that Walt Disney’s ascendant was hit by the south node eclipse yesterday, at the same time the country collectively pulled their subscription to Disney’s services.

Update: Simeon Schmauß over on Twitter (@stim3on) recommended G'MIC for taking care of the horizontal noise / banding. It worked pretty great. There's a Photoshop plugin for it, too. Wanted to process my own version of this one, since nebular landscapes are some of my favorite views. Having a hard time with the linear noise pattern, especially near the top of the image. In the center of this view is a newly forming star crossed by a dark disk of dust (say that three times fast!) which is casting shadows to the left and right, and allowing cones of light out the top and bottom. Think of it like a light bulb inside of a donut with a bunch of fog. Though the infrared light can penetrate much of the dust, there are clues in the image that show some of the dust is still too thick to see through. At the lower right especially are a lot of background galaxies. On the left, the background galaxies are fewer, and what we see are dimmer, so we can tell there is more dust there. You can see the official release here. They've got a much better description than I could ever write. Orange "screen": NIRCam/F444W-F470N (not arithmetic) Red: NIRCam/F444W Green: NIRCam/F335M Blue: NIRCam/F200W, F187N, F115W North is 100° counter-clockwise from up.

Tonight they're gonna party like it's 1939...

“The century of the power of man became that of his despair. Since then, everyone feels in his body and his soul that we are living in a more atrocious age than any other, an age of the most horrible savagery.”

The Manuscript of the Week is RIA MS B ii 1, an Astronomical Tract. It is an Irish translation of medieval Latin texts. The astronomical tract is based on a medieval Latin version of a work by Messahalah, a Jew of Alexandria who wrote in Arabic c. 815.

wow

Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid @moudhy.bsky.social May as well dive right in. Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball? According to a Sumerian proverb, "The dog understands 'Take it!' It does not understand 'Put it down!'"

Dog behavior is eternal

Jung said that "the Gods have become diseases, not because they are diseases," but because in our materialist culture they have no way to express themselves other than as agents of pathology and as "irritants" of change. ~David Tacey

We impeached a president for having consensual sex with a woman

But won’t impeach the president for having non-consensual sex with children

Multiple children

WTF is wrong with this country?

Use every situation you have with other people as a vehicle to work on yourself. See where you get stuck, where you push, where you grab, where you judge, where you do all the other stuff. Use your life experiences as your curriculum.~Ram Dass, 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳
