Forget everything. Open the windows. Clear the room. The wind blows through it. You see only its emptiness, you search in every corner and don't find yourself.

So you're telling me the Democrats, the party which coined "super predators", are leaning into the expansion of the police state?

I went back to Witchfire following the recent update and holy fuck I forgot how good this game is. Gunplay that makes most AAA feel like shit, insanely good and mysterious lore, and the game actively lies to you in interesting ways. So so good.

As a fellow Big Man, this is the way. The end goal of all that we do, revolution, struggle, theory, praxis, is a softer world. A softer world where we can all be kinder and gentler, a softer world where we don't have to be at each other's throat for money. Click through to the video please.

It's kind of insane what gym + martial arts is doing to my body. Like, of course my body has changed ever since I started going to the gym regularly a year and a half ago. But coupling it with karate now has changed it even further, the different kinds of movements and strength work well together.

I'm looking into the possibility of recording the audio of these sessions! And I'm also thinking about maybe running parallel "sessions" on Discord, where we discuss the books around the reading dates over text (I don't think I have the bandwidth for a separate virtual session) if there's interest!

Into the New Weird

On September 2nd, I am starting to lead a reading group at the Providence Athenaeum on the New Weird! If you want to read along, you can find the full reading list here: providenceathenaeum.org/programs/rea.... The program focuses on both "foundational" works, new works, and counter-reading!

I used to fantasize about that but to be honest, I'm sure the employees are great. You'd start work there and within two weeks, your corporate overlords would suck every shred of life force from you. You'd have AMAZING designs and ideas and they'd all be met with "but what's the shareholder value"

"high" magic is the desire for the will to be able to change reality. Magic realism is the desire for meaning to be able to change reality. One of the results of this is that the practitioner is not important for magic realism whereas they are the core of high magic as the origin point of will.

Bumping this essay of mine again because I think it's really good! Meditative states, martial art, productivity, software, anxiety, and more as I look at the rush to "be the best version of yourself" and how we can counter the anxiety from that with martial arts

Together, the movie, was very good. My only criticism is that the structure is very much "paint by numbers" for how to construct a horror plot. But the acting, the effects, and basically everything else made it really enjoyable.

Paul Leonard-Morgan "She's A Pass" DREDD
YouTube video by Paul Leonard-Morgan Paul Leonard-Morgan "She's A Pass" DREDD

Karl Urban saying "she's a pass" in Dredd lives rent free in my mind, like it will literally flash into my mind every few days. God I love that movie, with all its flaws.
