We're Steely Dan, there's a picture of us on the back of every album, and not a single one has us smiling. We're Steely Dan like that.

He was hung in his closet, Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again Naturally" on loop, his penis out of his pants. Is this the face of the Male Loneliness Crisis?!!!!!
This really minimal remix is just taking out the non-bass and drum instrumentation. It's eerie and distinct. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1x1...

My current musical era is "Music To Barely Get By On". Steely Dan, ELO, Billy Joel, pre-Princess Di Elton John, Earth Wind and Fire, Supertramp.... the music of grinding despair
They tell us not to be judgmental and then hold the Olympics every four years.
Godzilla is America. How he’s characterized depends on what Japan currently thinks about America. Count Dracula is consumerism. Our characterization of Count Dracula depends on what our relationship with consumerism happens to look like.
If the pipe is only configured to dispense shit, then I shall write poetry in shit despite the pipe.
MARX: I don’t think I like Steiner very much.. ENGELS: Come back to bed, honey.
“Horus Must Die” is a parody of occultnik pseudo-academicism, around a frame novel (absurdist science fiction noir) around a manifesto. The editor is a character, and says things like “And so a footnote she be, upon a footnoted sea. -ED”
Pretty sure I want to, mang. Quislings, the lot.
Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · 2d agoThird Way's gonna Third Way, I guess, but Democrats should want no part of it. And as for insurgent progressives: Are they sure they can displace the Dem establishment, just like the conservative movement did to the GOP? Are they sure they *want* to? My stab at a better way forward.
This is a challenge to do, frankly. I had to leave the Beastie Boys Video Collection off the list, but understand that I had a criterion to abide by.
If the market does not tank appropriately, then the market is a mirage and a lie, to be rejected. Ask the subsequent questions.

Even if there's a complete clean sweep, if there aren't prisons and the potential of executions, it'll just happen again. They have tried not mere to arrest immigrants and re-enslave minorities, but also starve intellectuals like Pol Pot. They cannot be reformed, they cannot be talked down.
Yes, Liberal, Kansas has a baseball team called the Bee Jays.
Look, I'm 46 years old. I've never seen a popular mood like this one. I've never seen this much willingness to put quibble aside. I'm frankly mystified, and I weirdly have hope.
“Horus Must Die“ is not just about Thelema, not just about occulture, no just about religion, not just about ethics. It’s about not allowing somebody else to hold the keys to your Heaven.

Oh, a Muppets version of ( Existing IP ), you propose? Are you the Boring Guy on the podcast, or the Fast Talking Guy? You’re certainly not the Laid Back Guy.
I think what I’m writing is pretty important. The entire last few centuries of esotericism has been utterly obsessed to the point of distraction by a political program the believers themselves don’t actually agree with, if they verbalized it themselves.
My occult manifesto is nearly complete. It’s gone through a lot of iterations. Titled “Horus Must Die”, it’s about totally abandoning not merely Crowley, but the entire protofascist Great Man project among occultniks. We must return to basics, we must endeavor not to control, but to know ourselves.
