Surely you didn’t expect anything different?
This week has some stuff going on up there! The first one (the good part) is on the 20th and 21st Mercury combines with Jupiter to bring happiness and good luck. There’s a new moon then also giving the rebirth/new beginning/growth vibes and the position of Venus in relation to that alignment is tossing some good times onto everyone.
Now the bad: that fickle bastard Mercury slides over to get Mars involved on the 23rd/24th with a pretty close conjunction. So look out for domestic disturbances. No women involved this time though.
A good time for Libra, less good for Scorpio.
Libra: 7 of Swords – A plan that may fail. Actually that’s underselling things — it’s a really dumb plan.
Scorpio: Queen of Coins reversed – Mean, nasty rich bitch.
Sagittarius: 5 of Wands reversed – You LOSE! This has particular emphasis in the area of romance.
Capricorn: 10 of Coins – Gain, riches; family matters, archives, extraction, the abode of a family.
Aquarius: 6 of Coins – Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance. This is classically a sign to do what you’ve been thinking about doing but not sure when.
Pisces: Knight of Swords – Skill, bravery, capacity, defense, address, enmity, wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin.
Aries: 6 of Wands – Victory, great news, attitude bringing about its own ends
Taurus: 5 of Cups – Yes, it’s bad. However it’s not as bad as you are currently thinking. If the card is to be taken literally it’s only about 60% as bad as you’re thinking it is.
Gemini: 7 of Wands – You will be punching above your weight.
Cancer: The Emperor reversed – Benevolence, compassion, credit, confusion to enemies, obstruction, immaturity.
Leo: The Lovers – Bow chicka wow WOW!
Virgo: 9 of Wands – Strength in opposition, delay.

Joke’s on you, sky gods, you can’t lose what you don’t have.
Scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt, And any thing that may not misbecome The mighty sender
President Trump late Saturday shared an AI-generated video of himself wearing a crown while piloting a fighter jet and dumping brown liquid on “No Kings” demonstrators.
As Kenny Loggins’s song “Danger Zone” plays in the background, the jet, emblazoned with “King Trump,” flies over Time Square in New York City and drops what appears to be feces over protesters.
Needs more circus calliope.
Could have been mud…

This sounds familiar
The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging men. Across the U.S., they are leaving in waves — from the unions that once powered the party’s muscle, from classrooms that once echoed with idealism, and from a movement that now talks at them rather than to them. Polls show young men flocking to the right in numbers not seen for generations.
——-
The party’s latest efforts to woo men are almost painful to watch. The Democratic National Committee has poured money into influencer partnerships, podcast cameos and clumsy “masculinity” campaigns filmed in gyms. Spokespersons drone on about “kitchen-table issues,” as if men are sitting there waiting to be emotionally validated between spoonfuls of reheated stew.
None of it works because it isn’t real. Men don’t want to be sold to. They want to be spoken to. The problem isn’t packaging but posture. A party that has spent years pathologizing masculinity can’t expect gratitude from the men it has spent so long diagnosing.
Men just don’t understand how the world works now.
Are they making it up by increasing their support from women? My wife counts at least four widow women friends who used to be conservatives like their husbands but are now Dems because they dislike the crude behavior of the guy in the White House.
And my wife who was more liberal goiing more to his side of politics. It swings both ways with this
My mother, who in the 80s would have blown DJT in front of my father now hates him cause he’s orange man bad and mean to women. Attended the 1988 Republican convention as a delegate.
Loves her social security and Medicare.
Money talks.
Buys votes.
But somewhere along the line, that current of conviction faded. The virtues that once defined Democratic leadership — resolve, discipline, fortitude — were recast as remnants of a primitive past. The same movement that once celebrated builders and breadwinners began to sneer at them. Masculinity became something to manage rather than to honor. The sermon grew stale: You are privileged, you are problematic, you are not welcome here anymore.
GRRRRRL PAWR, FTW!
That article about the The Great Feminization seems relevant here.

Yep.
“The virtues that once defined Democratic leadership — resolve, discipline, fortitude”
*outright, prolonged laughter
How to increase the pleasure.
Excellent
Huh, missed this win.
Now do tariffs.
Did they drop the carbon tax,for now?
Shutdown Chronicles are gonna be spicy
Bored last night, I found a few youtube streamers out in LA.
After 8pm, the ratio of police to protestor to streamer was laughable.
Police were extremely patient until they were not.
I have recently made the acquaintance of an SEC school cheerleader.
I don’t want to suggest this is more than an acquaintanceship. But she is not unpleasant to be acquainted with.
Pics, or GTFO
The Securities and Exchange Commission has a cheer squad?
I knew federal spending was insane but that’s another level of pork o did not expect.
Is she from Canada? I bet she’s from Canada.
She goes to a different school, you wouldn’t know her.
Perfect, ruod. 😘
That’s the perfect setup, like a prison pen pal.
No one can falsity her because they will never run into her.
Her previous boyfriend was Manti Te’o.
I give you permission to say that you are actually Brochettaward, the First Of All Firsters, and to pass my Firsts off as your own. Normally this would be cause for a beheading if caught, but the wingman exception is an ancient Firster tradition. We need seconders to procreate far and wide so that we may lord over them.

It’s A strategy, for sure, but sometimes they have to be spanked and sent to their room to think about what they did.
Or smoke a whole pack of cigs
This guy gets it.
Bender.
This lady gets it.
Back in the days I would have to, rarely, discuss things with an employee, in a more serious mode.
I called it “Going to the woodshed” where I did the discussing. Then the problem was never brought up again. If
the same thing happened again the employee usually resigned.
More than one answer can be true simultaneously.
This. Painfully this. Ass whopping some days, other days its sit by a fire and talk man to man or man to daughter

Ah, the bureaucrat’s card.
I learned from my dairy farmer great-uncle that when you’re making cheese, you put the byproduct in a tank no more than four feet deep.
That way if you fall in, you won’t be in whey over your head.
This might break Swiss’ eyes. He is fondue cheese, but puns curdle his cream.
When Swiss reads this it may make him bleu.
These puns are not well Krafted.
When Swiss reads this it may make him bleu.
No way! Swiss is too holey to turn bleu.
This is how you wax poetic and churn the commentariat
A good time for Libra, less good for Scorpio.
The stars are right wankers, they are.
