The planets continue their conspiracy of plotting something but staying outside of readable configurations.
While they can do that, they can’t avoid tipping their hand with regard to the sphere of fixed stars, and that’s mostly bad. However, by playing it cool with their alignments, they by necessity mute the effects of the visitations so while it’s bad news, it’s not going to be severe. If you didn’t have me to inform you about the celestial influence you’d probably just blow it off as random annoyances.
The “big” three are:
Mars in Aries – associated with negative masculine stereotypes like aggression, stupid pride, pointless dick-waving etc.
Venus in Cancer – associated with negative feminine stereotypes like gossiping, moodiness, backbiting, nagging and such like.
The moon in Libra – literally “unbalancing the scales” so injustice, disorder, safeguards being insufficient, Fineagle’s law being in effect.
It’s not all bad though, as Mercury is in Virgo, portending discovery/revelation/learning. So maybe this week you’ll make a mistake that you won’t make again?
The cars indicate that the week will start off rough (possibly literally) and stay dangerous most of the week, but end on an up note.

Here’s a good YouTube channel with a wealth of that kind of film if you find it interesting:
https://www.youtube.com/c/chronoshistory/featured
not really into war porn any longer, it’s quite sickening to see what Man can do, and like Holocaust film, needs to be shown over and over,
so we never forget……
Theres a fair amount of that but also color film of that period and earlier. I always used to think of the past in black and white and it’s always interesting to see it in color.
Relevant
Thanks, will check it out, the Color aspect is why i enjoy them as well

I got a normal-world priced chuck roast at wallymart today.
Also had a jackass in the produce section try to pass off nectarines as peaches, “Those are nectarines”, *dude points as sticker behind them* “Yellow Peaches”, *me points at fruit* “No Fur, Nectarines. If we wanna play point at the sticker throughout the store, at least 90% of the shit in here ain’t gonna match up. Fuck it.”
Then in the pharmacy, “Sorry, we can only sell 4 vials of insulin at a time.”, “Since when?”, “It’s been the policy as long as I’ve been here”, from the very clerk who sold me 6 vials not 5 months ago. Which I said. “Oh, uh, I, uh, It’s been the policy…”, “No, almost ten years I’ve been buying my insulin 3 times a year and getting more than 4 vials at a time, exclusively from Walmart, and I’ve never heard this before.”, “No, it’s always been the..”, “don’t keep repeating that, please. 4 vials then.”
So now the supply chain on my insulin is disrupted and Ive got, I dunno, 18months to live?
“I’m sorry, sir. We’ve looked at your online presence and determined that your Social Credit Score is in the Fair to Poor range, so only 3 vials of insulin for you. “
too close to reality,
I blame Chafed for making fun of the dude on the Walmart scooter last night then.
Try being as raunchy as SugarFree and maybe you’ll feel better.

Nero looks like the creep he was. More evil than the actors they usually get to play him, because the portrait suggests intelligence and a keen eye, not just the spoiled brat portrayed in lazy productions. He looks like a predator.
Augustus has a Daniel Craig thing going on. I am down with that.
He kinda looks like Harry Markle, but Harry used to be cute before he got stuffed in Meghan’s purse.
I’m not seeing the Harry Markle aspect. (I do enjoy the bad lip reading of NFL that has Carson Palmer saying “You mean I’m not Prince Harry?”)
I’ve been following the Meghan Markle / Prince Harry debacle unfold from the beginning. Just can’t take my eyes off that train wreck.
I never liked her, but thought she was just a z list actress who got lucky, and he’s no brainiac, so who cares?
But, man, her industrial strength Woke tore through that family faster than I imagined possible. And then the endless whining about not being supported and the mean press etc.
The fact that they’re still alive means QE2’s gone soft.
+1 Diana
She did take away Meghan’s HRH title (Her Royal Highness) and forbade them the use of “Royal” or “Sussex Royal” in their branding.
I’d love to hear unfiltered recordings of what Prince Philip thinks of it all. He’s always good for a scathing unvarnished opinion.
Of course the truth is that Camilla had private lunches with Meghan before the marriage advising her on coping with negative press and being happy, just as she did with Kate.
But Meghan loves her some victim card, and she will play it even if she has to make up stories of racism; snobbery, etc.
Tearing Harry away from his home and family was very selfish of her though. He will have to crawl back someday.
He’s so stupid, Meghan convinced him that the queen was snubbing him in her televised Christmas address because behind her on the desk were photos of Elizabeth and Philip, one of Charles and Camilla, and one of William and Kate. But not Harry and Meghan! Must be racist!! She is so dumb, she doesn’t see the obvious link of all those portraits is they all show future monarchs, and Harry is a minor royal.
I am mildly amused by it, enough to click on a headline if I see it, and SMH.
Her father said it best (paraphrased): Meghan managed to turn that family into People of Walmart.
Well, aren’t the royals a family living on off the government teat already?
I’m not sure I understand the finances. They have a lot of their own money so I don’t know what they live off of, but OTOH, they bring in a lot of tourist revenue.
Also, I think the Markles got cut off.
Anybody who loves to laugh at the British Royals should look at the spoof series “The Windsors ” on Netflix.
Pretty funny stuff, and accidentally true with tales of Beatrice and Eugenie’s marriages.
They even started with Meghan in the most recent season, but then reality became far weirder than the show, so I don’t know if they will do another season.
I love the casting for Sarah Ferguson..

Alrighty then! Time for this Aries gal to wear her ovaries on the outside (I don’t have balls or a big swinging dick).
But I must beware the negative potential:
Come to think of it, that is how I planned to roll anyway.
Finally. I’ve been pointlessly waving my dick around for the last 51 weeks to no effect.
It’s the journey, not the destination
Huh. Guess I better go see my leecher. Maybe my humours need adjusting.
This weekend has already messed up my sleep schedule. I should not be waking up at 1pm. This is going to make getting up for the start of work tomorrow a pain.
Do you work graveyard?
7am-3pm
Is waking up at 1pm a typo?
No. Yesterday and today I wok up at 1 PM, as in after noon.
I haven’t woken up at 1pm since I was about 22.
Down at 3am, up at 8, half an hour before my alarm. Back from Walmart by 11. Almost done watering the barberry/jennyjumpups spot at the end of the line of blocks. (it’s a hands off process and my waterpressure sucks. that’s on the list for getting diagnosed this week. will cost a fortune I’m sure even if I do the excavation. pretty sure one of my trees has infiltrated the line from the mains to my house. I swear there’s a slight soil taste in the water.)
[manic phase icon]
One advantage of the city I live in is that they will come out an auger the water and sewage lines from a phone call. If I had to guess, they want to keep the old, huge oaks and maples in the neighborhood, and if I had to start paying for that service, it would probably be in my financial best interest to get the trees cut down.

Brockton, MA goes deep into Lil Rona Panic
The city of Brockton is ordering a citywide curfew for all residents and visitors between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., as the city struggles to curb a growing number of COVID-19 cases.
Brockton Mayor Robert Sullivan said the curfew will take effect on Saturday, with exceptions only for essential travel.
Sullivan said he was also ordering the city’s Harold D. Bent Playground at Ash Street Park and James Edgar Playground to be closed from the hours of 4 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Insanity. That’s orders of magnitude fewer than the maximum number Mayor Bill said he was going to allow for us to “open up” (a number we are below, and guess what’s open?).
That’s 8 per 100K people per day, which would be 650 or so for NYC.
Yeap, I was mixing up “residents” with “tests”. The limit here is under 1% of tests. Still meaningless.

I hear the prices have gone up more than a few glass beads though.
Neat! But all I see is a cute little two-story house. I always wondered what was here before my building went up in 1955.

So, the whole Mary Trump thing amounted to next to nothing (mainly because she is a treacherous, embittered little bitch herself who seems to be more motivated by anger over getting screwed out of money), but I found this interesting. It’s just a small aside in a larger story, but I had never heard that Mary Trump was the source of the NYT’s 2018 Trump tax story:
https://www.startribune.com/in-secretly-recorded-audio-president-trump-s-sister-says-he-has-no-principles-and-you-can-t-trust-him/572196022/
I hope she was in a one-party recording state.
secretly recorded audio reveals what she shouts from every platform afforded to her at every opportunity.

“What are the Schemes?”
“LEGALLY FILING THEIR TAXES, THE SNEAKY MOTHERFUCKERS, STRING EM UP!!!”
What a cunte.
See, if Trump has set her up to “oversee” a billion dollar concern in Ukraine like Biden did for Hunter, she would have kept her mouth shut.
Her speaking out is a warning to other would-be candidates that they better take care of their sponger relatives.
Fortunately Trump doesn’t give a toss.
“take care of”, if you know. what. I. mean.
LOL just like Deblasio and his wife. What’s with Democrats and throwing a billion dollars at their slimy family members?
C’mon, man! You wouldn’t wanna just throw that kinda money at complete strangers, wouldya?!?
My theory is that the Dems really do believe that profits are evil, and capitalism is about crony’s and nepotism. So when they (the Dems) playnat business, they act the part by being corrupt and funneling money to spouses, children, etc.
I saw the same thing after German unification. East German companies acted like total sleazes because that’s how they believed business got done in the West.
Wonder which prosecutors’ offices got copies of those? Those supposed investigations in NY and congress now sound like bullshit parallel reconstruction attempts.

Wait a sec.. Kweisi Mfume is back in Congress? How the ever living fuck, in the supposed #metoo era, did he get back into elective politics? Yes, I know the answer. No hypocrisy there at all.
The investigation stemmed in part from an action that Mary Trump had taken: She had provided boxes of family tax records to the New York Times, which published a Pulitzer Prize-winning report in 2018 that found Donald Trump had engaged in suspect tax schemesthat increased his the family wealth.
It seems as if that could be construed as a criminal act.
Not if she’s a Never Trumper.

Do you only do nonfiction for audiobooks?
Yes.
That’s where I get most of my fiction.
Hrmm… Maybe…
Though in a less recent time there’s This controversy
Oh, and Bob Brier’s History of Ancient Egypt is great.
Most of my nonfiction audiobooks are historical,
I’m…kinda looking for self-help books, not history books.
Oh.

I’m also trying to find ones that are available at my library. :/ I finally settled on Women Who Run with the Wolves, even though I’ve read it.
At the library? I have no idea what they might have.
I was just looking for title suggestions. I can check my library to see if they have it.
I also got Maps of Meaning by Jordan Peterson.

My review of Unhinged, the Russell Crowe road rage movie.
Highly entertaining. A fat, sweaty, wheezing Russell Crowe torments some bitch who just wouldn’t give him an apology after cutting him off in traffic. He may or may not have been popping real pills throughout the movie. He also beats up a small child in the movie. A+.
No attempts to associate Crowe’s character as a ‘Right-Wing Extremist (TM)’? I was afraid that Hollywood wouldn’t be able to resist themselves from having him have the most extremist extremeifiyer, Sean Hannity on the radio or some such nonsense.
