So, this week you need to watch out for the time of maximum wackiness on the 19th and 20th (check your local skies for exact times) wherein The Sun, moon Earth and MERCURY RETROGRADE all line up. Were I modern hack astrologer I would also mention that a completely astrologically irrelevant (if physically extant) planet was ALSO in alignment with those and moving retrograde, but I will refrain even though it would be hilarious to mention that you really need to watch out for Uranus retrograde.
The rest of the week is surprisingly harmless.

I really enjoyed Max Headroom back in the day.
One of the best episodes was when the election was determined by TV ratings.
I saw it, either on Pluto or Roku channel. It has a whole Max Headroom streaming channel. I was amazed. I also did not think to save it as a favorite so it is out there, somewhere. Lost to me.
Well, I’m taking the 19th off work, though I really have to go back in on the 20th, but the worst should be over, right?
Sagittarius: Wheel of Fortune – Destiny, fortune, success, elevation, luck, felicity.
Pushes pile of chips on red.
It’s about fucking time we got a good card. My birthday is next Sunday, this is a perfect lead-in. Cheers, Brooks.
I was expecting this
“ Cancer: Knight of Wands reversed – Rupture, division, interruption, discord.”
Hrm. Whatever. I know I’m getting laid.
The tower…
It all falls down.
So the kids are going to knock over one of the many piles of books around our place (happens at least once a week) or the drop off cat the neighbors got from their adopted daughter that’s living in my shop is going to knock over a precariously stacked pile of Jeep parts?
Duh.
Maybe the Jeep parts shouldn’t be so precariously stacked.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this pile (since added too). https://ibb.co/7dYFtHz3
You need a Hilux.
I have an 82 Toyota front axle, a W56 transmission, a pair of 80s vintage Toyota/Asin transfer cases, and a full floating rear axle for a V6 motorhome new in the box. I have plans for the wife’s 93 Suzuki Sidekick but as usual I’m always busy working, doing maintenance or working in the yard, the latter in some dumb project I started. I spent the last four years building a playground. It takes longer when you’re a gimp.

Their daughter lives in your shop? 😉
I knew after I hit submit comment that I had probably missed a comma or an extra word.
I was up in the loft last night and it didn’t look like anyone had moved in.
She took her two cats to her adopted parents place because her boyfriend didnt like them. Mom turned them outside which they had been indoor cats since birth claiming one was feral. Five minits with my wife she was in her lap.
Aww. Pics sometime!
I hope neighbor mom is nicer to people than to cats.
Didn’t you see the pics of his piles of auto parts? 😉 :-p
TOG, this one was originally named Guinness, we renamed her Gigi.
Her sister the neighbors and my wife and I just named Dottie as she has a couple of white spots.
And I forgot the link. https://ibb.co/k2zWBkyG
Nice pussy.
🦇
Neighbor mom is pretty full of herself, farmers window.

Raising her to be a courtesan? 😉

You’re going to have an affair with Bill Maher?
Um … 😶
Gemini: 6 of Cups reversed – The future, renewal, that which will come to pass presently.
We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
Free lunch
As the crowd roared its approval, the mayor-elect reaffirmed his priorities: freeze rents on stabilized apartments; make bus service free; construct 200,000 housing units; raise the minimum wage to $30 an hour by 2030; provide free universal childcare and “a better distribution of wealth for all God’s children.” He then thanked young New Yorkers “who refuse to accept that the promise of a better life is a relic of the past.”
President Trump mocked Mamdani as a “liddle communist.” He promised to withhold federal funds from New York, “other than the very minimum as required.”
Salivating at the prospect of making Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party in the 2026 midterms, Republicans released a digital ad immediately after his election win: “A radical left earthquake just hit America. The epicenter: New York … your city could be next. Stop socialism. Stop Democrats.”
The strategy may not work. In sharp contrast to “communists,” democratic socialism is no longer regarded as a bogeyman. Although Mamdani may not be able to deliver on his extraordinarily ambitious and costly campaign agenda, a majority of voters throughout the country support just about every item on it.
Party of toddlernomics.
Wall off the bridges to manhattan island.
Where’s Snake Plissken when we need him?
I think he’s in Prague.
The State Island Ferry haz a sad.
Staten Island Ferry.
Neither are his many explicitly communist social media posts going back many years.
So?
Apparently the motions have to be gone through before the lesson is learned again.
Does Mayor McGovernment Cheese talk about how this will all be paid for, other than soaking “the rich”? His mayoral powers aren’t really all that extensive.
“Toddlernomics”
I am so stealing that.
At the same time, many Americans have soured on capitalism because it fosters inequality and doesn’t meet the needs of working people.
A recent survey by Gallup revealed that 54 percent of Americans have a favorable view of capitalism — down from 60 percent in 2021 — and 39 percent of them, including 66 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents, approve of socialism. The conservative Cato Institute found that 62 percent of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 prefer socialism.
Sure, why not? It don’t cost nothin’.

LOL there are about a half dozen loaded words in that phrase that they almost certainly define in ways that normal people would not.
Capitalism is not a word.
Free market is a thing, capitalism is not.
“many Americans have soured on capitalism because it fosters inequality and doesn’t meet the needs of working people.” Stated as fact. They plagiarized that from Sergio Argones, Mad Magazine circa 1974, right?
I think the commie girl mayor elect in Seattle is perfect. Never accomplished anything, 40yo still living off mommie and daddy, drop-out who rattles off vapid commie talking points older than dirt. You can see it on her face, hear it in her voice: behind those eyes…an abyss. There is nothing there.
Remember the scene in ‘The Keep’ where the protagonist discovers the chamber below the castle…a doorway into infinite darkness. Get close to her and look into her eyes, that’s what. you will see.
What a fucking clown show the Democratic Party has become.
Now do the percentage of young people proficient in math, literacy and history.
All by design by government schools and the teachers unions that run them.
And do the percentage of people who think making a profit is evil.
They’ve got him now
U.S. President Donald Trump bought at least $82 million in corporate and municipal bonds from late August to early October including new investments in sectors benefiting from his policies, financial disclosures made public on Saturday showed.
——-
Most of the assets listed in Saturday’s disclosures consist of bonds issued by municipalities, states, counties, school districts and other entities with ties to public agencies.
Trump’s new bond investments span several industries, including sectors that have already benefited, or are benefiting, from his administration’s policy changes such as financial deregulation.
Oh, no. Casino capitalism.
Wait, so now Trump’s policies are HELPING municipalities, states, school districts, etc.? I thought his policies were burning them all down?
If the purchases were made after the policies were announced, I’m not seeing a problem.
“Sectors that have benefitted from his policies.”
Wow. Just let that sink.in for a minute.
Where were these people when Obama/biden were in office? Sectors…they specifically handed out money to companies and donors they were directly involved with.
Evil side of authority, what is unforeseen, unprepared state, sickness.
This is a lot of words to say, “Same Shit, Different Day”.
A disclosure filed in August indicated that Trump had purchased more than $100 million in bonds since returning to the presidency on Jan. 20. Trump also submitted his annual disclosure form in June, which indicated that income from his various ventures still ultimately goes to him, raising concerns of potential conflicts of interest.
If only his hands were as clean (and pockets as empty) as Joe Biden.
Jumping Jesus on a polo pony, unless he (his money is under third party management, but let’s not concern ourselves with that) is buying up long shot junk bonds and then bailing out the companies which issued them, that’s equivalent to keeping his money in a savings account.

Why is my shit always reversed? But this one seems a *bit* too accurate. So I’m just gonna reverse the reversal, cuz I can do just that. My robust contentedness is sought by all.
Why is my shit always reversed?
So projectile vomiting instead of pooping? :-p
Easier to aim, far more locations for disposal, puke baggies easily available…? See that’s a *good* reversal. We know our celestial overlords don’t play like that. Those lacking wisdom may hear your taunt and try to pre-reverse prevent incoming negative, wayward vibes. That would open up a whole world ‘o hurt. So watch me as I *don’t* do that.
I’m gonna do.. well. Something or other. Think about it.

I think I won’t go out tonight.
