This week has an unusual constriction: A double opposition.
Oppositions in general can be tricky to read, and a double even more so. So lets see what’s going on here. Firstly (but not primarily (though it probably is primarily)) we have Venus in opposition with Mercury. Love/peace/sex/femininity v. news/change/luck. Were Venus in either Scorpio or Cancer, this would warn of an STD outbreak, but fortunately that’s not the case here. Oh wait, Venus IS in Cancer. Crabs it is then. The other part of this double is the Sun v. the Earth, the most likely outcome is that your A/C is going to break down, though a house fire is not ruled out, nor is an insect invasion out of the question. But that’s only if you read these parts separately. Reading them together as part of a larger whole give some sort of disruption caused by summer weather that quashes an otherwise lovely romantic outing. There is also another way of reading it which is “good news ruins a good thing” or “justified complacency causes you to miss an opportunity.” A Mercury-Venus-Mars alignment can mean “peace talks” (and it still could) but in light of all the other rather negative signs, I think it’s more likely that there will be high-profile marital squabbles this week. So go out and grab those snaps, paparazzi!
Leo comes into its own with Mercury (the bringer of luck) entering. Venus in Cancer encourages everyone to go to the beach. Aries is telling us that the civil unrest fracas will continue with the moon joining Mars there.
The cards are predicting a kind of downer week.
Leo: Ace of Swords – Motorhead concert (no wait, that’s Ace of Spades) – Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, triumph of force. It is a card of great force, in love as well as in hatred
Virgo: The Hanged Man reversed – Selfishness, the crowd, body politic
Libra: 10 of Swords reversed – Advantage, profit, success, favour, but none of these are permanent; also power and authority
Scorpio: Ace of Coins reversed – The evil side of wealth, bad intelligence. People trying to leverage your lifestyle against you.
Sagittarius: Queen of Cups reversed – distinguished woman but one not to be trusted, perverse woman, vice, dishonor, depravity.
Capricorn: 2 of Wands – Riches, fortune, magnificence, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification
Aquarius: 3 of Swords reversed – Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.
Pisces: Temperance reversed – Bad things involving churches, disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests
Aries: 2 of Cups – Love, passion, friendship, affinity, union, concord, sympathy
Taurus: 8 of Swords reversed – Disquiet, difficulty, opposition, accident, treachery
Gemini:The Lovers reversed – Failure, foolish designs, romantic troubles
Cancer: 3 of Coins reversed – Mediocrity, puerility, pettiness, weakness
Apologies for going OT off the bat, but with my work schedule I don’t even know what fucking day it is, much less what posts are going on.
I was waiting for Biden to announce his VP pick, but got sick of waiting, so I wrote and recorded a new episode. To be sure, by the time I animate, edit and it get’s posted Biden will have made an announcement, but I think the solution I came up with will be something you all find entertaining.
Disquiet, difficulty, opposition, accident, treachery.
And there it is, the cards predicted I’d do this.
I think all anyone asks is to be entertained.

Don’t have AC.
though a house fire is not ruled out,
Fuck.
Gemini:The Lovers reversed – Failure, foolish designs, romantic troubles
Dood, I have had that one since 2015.
Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion
Gonna be a good week!
As an aside, it ain’t as hot as it has been but, fuck, it is humid out. And we’ve gotten so much rain that my front yard is a swamp, particularly on the side where there is supposed to be a yard swale and along the front the closer you get to the street. Bitch is saturated and won’t drain. Needless to say, mowing was “fun”.
the most likely outcome is that your A/C is going to break down
Happened a couple weeks ago. Got it fixed but they still haven’t sent me the bill.
Mine went out back in June. Had the same AC window unit since 2000, which I inherited from my sister who bought it in 95. Cooled my whole house better than the newer one I replaced it with this year.
Heh. Environmental regulations strike again. Duck your comfort birch.
Wow! Now I have a zodiac excuse for my excesses! Thanks, Not Adahn!

Yeah, Libra finally looked good until you get to the “, but..”

” Reading them together as part of a larger whole give some sort of disruption caused by summer weather that quashes an otherwise lovely romantic outing”
Can confirm, the weather was the perfect temp, and I was loving on this margarita outside when the cloud cover moved and the sun made everything too hot.
luckily I have a parasol, crises averted.

I’d rather have the Motörhead concert.
This doesn’t sound sufficiently shitty to be accurate despite the loss of the Motörhead concert.
Fun fact, when bored Lemmy would sing 8 of Spades instead. No one picked up on it.
This is totally fucked.
Dude answers the door with a gun because it is late and he probably did not hear the cops announce themselves as such. As soon as he sees that they are cops he immediately puts a hand up and kneels to put the gun down but the idiot on the other side of the door panic fires anyway.
Since this is a an instance of actual and obvious police malfeasance I’m sure the national “news” media will be all over this story.
Just another Covid death caused by domestic violence.
Also it was a white guy. Also, also, drugs fell out your ass because it was an AM link.
I know, but I wasn’t here for AM links and wanted to comment on it. (looking at them now…)

Today’s theme is go big or go home.
Looks good. I’ve got some bison steaks to grill today, but a bit concerned because they’re looking pretty lean and I’ve never cooked bison before.
Bison is indeed lean. Which doesn’t necessarily mean bad but expect that.
Any pointers?
Butter.
That was my plan. Usually i just get a sufficiently fatty piece of meat, but i was wanting something different today.
Thinking I’ll go light on any spicing (probably just salt and a little pepper), paid enough for the flavor, May as well taste it, right?
Beautiful! I just started the rice for this weeks rice and beans. Might do up the shrimp later that was planned for yesterday but I drank past my hunger and never got around to it.
Nice, thrice!
Got a butt on the grill for chopped pork tonight. Potato salad is underway, coleslaw soon. Mow the lawn, wash the car, laundry, and kill more poison oak on the agenda for today.
Ducking laundry man. Jesus.
How many clothes do people need?
*sets pile of dirty clothes on fire *
I try to have at least two weeks worth of clothes.
Sure, but then you have two weeks of laundry at some point.
Like today. ..
Plan to force my servant to fold it all.
I have no problem doing laundry.
But why are you folding it?
I’m not. 😉
Nice

Hornberger would have been the better candidate, not sure who he pissed off, but at least we have an actual libertarian for the forst time since Badnarik. With results about the same, I suspect.
I HATE ice cream trucks.
Not the concept, not the business, but the fucking obnoxious music they play as they prowl the neighborhood.
We typically get one through our neighborhood, but apparently not during the pandemic.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t bother me.
There is one that frequents our neighborhood. The damn thing plays Dixie on a loop.
It always makes me laugh that the owner is a black dude.
Doesn’t bother me either. It’s better than the much more frequent drag-racing.

Damn. That works. Two in a row, baby!
Imgur has decided to commit suicide. No longer allowing anonymous uploads on their website. Must use their app. What a fucking joke. Any other anonymous easy to use photo sharing?
Ok, apparently the non mobile version still does it but the desktop site is complete broken on a smartphone because it uses the phone’s screen size and fixes the site into it. Web developers of the last five years need to just be shot.
Damn. That works. Two in a row, baby!
Triumph? Better go blow the dust off the Spitfire.
Yep!

I actually had it out a couple times this week. Fun goddamn car. Getting the Porsche out?
That’s probably their best. Great bass line.
Lol. Fuck off, Nancy “Are you serious?!” Pelosi.

I agree with her. Of course, it applies to all presidents, not just the current one.
Fun fact, Congress actually delegated the authority to suspend taxes* during a ‘disaster’ to the president back in 1997.
*it may have only been certain taxes, but it included those put on hold here
Jesus. What bill was that?
Clinton.
26 U.S. Code § 7508A
“Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997”
I do remember during the “I have a pen and a phone” era, some folks were suggesting that the Democrats weren’t going to be enamored of this tactic when they were no longer the ones wielding it. They of course dismissed such concerns.
Like getting rid of the filibuster, can’t ever bite them in the ads.
Pretty funny stuff. Are they going to campaign against it?
It would be fun to watch the Democrats get some Obama judge to block those payments.
So back to my original reason, morale patches came in. I’m ready to LARP now. Bring it on.

Midwest problems… for the past two days I’ve wanted some pepperoni rolls. Neither of the local grocery stores had any in stock when I was there, and it’s too damned hot to fire up the oven to make them myself. Almost all of the little bakeries are closed today, so I am without pepperoni rolls.
Getting the Porsche out?
Gotta put it back together, first. Been working on it a little bit.

Cool ain’t it?
The other non white approval is higher than the white approval. Worst racist ever.
Whites are busy peacefully protesting.
Electorally, the idea that any male in the country that actually is a net tax payer would vote for the Democrats just baffles me. Like, if you are a man, straight or gay, and you actually work in the private sector, and are dependent on a vibrant economy to grow your wages, then why the fuck would you vote Democrat?
I understand the parasites voting Democrat, it makes perfect sense. But if you own a business, if you work at a business that isn’t getting fat government contracts, how on Earth could you vote for the Democrats when they have been entirely captured by a Green socialism as their guiding economic policy.
At some point you pull in enough money to make the signaling worth more to you.
This perfectly explains what I said in the piece last week. What we are watching – the riots, the leftward swing, the complete lying by the MSM, the “polling,” the Black woman VP – all of it, is the Democratic party shitting its pants. If Trump pulls anything like 20% of the black vote – and Biden/VP gets anything less than 85% – the election is over for the Dems. And they know it.
In my experience, POCs of all kinds are a lot less “PC” than their liberal white counterparts who are white knighting on their behalf. Blacks don’t care that Trump leaned on a stereotype – they judge him as he is. Biden, OTOH, is on the record with “racial jungle,” “he’s an articulate black guy,” “you ain’t black!,” and authorship of the ’94 crime bill.
But The Cheeto is the racist. Right.
All of what we’re seeing is a performance for the black/POC vote. I think Team Blue is coming apart. I think the leftward swing has cost them a big chunk of what has been their traditional “base” and they know it. Blue collar whites AND blacks AND latinos – i.e. deplorables – are going to give Trump this election. Andrew Jackson indeed.

JAYZUS. Just shoot me now.
“Mediocrity, puerility, pettiness, weakness”
I’m sure I’d miss.
Does my failure to manage my GF’s 7 yo while both of us are hangover will end into romantic troubles?
Maybe my plan to tie her up and throw her into a wardrobe is a foolish design…..
If we don’t find a friend’s place to send her to, I might come back with an answer to that existential question.
She’d be in good company, right next to her big brother that doesn’t seem to realize that his mike on his VR set is right next to his mouth.
Could also throw in the other one, listening all loud to Gilmore Girls for the 5th time. Better than Harry Potter I guess.
So yeah, quick question, if I get rid of all the failure and suffering stuff today, do I get the rest of the week off??
Never date single moms. Go find a slutty college girl.
She’s the only one that would take me in. Says as much about me than her I guess.
My standard have gotten down a lot; still didn’t have to call the cops on her and we’re close to a year. She’s a keeper.
Heh, fair enough.
I think if my wife ever died, I’d just stay single. Women aren’t worth it.
Eh, some women aren’t worth it. I’ve dated a few of those when I was younger, and made the right decision (“do not pursue a relationship with this person”). The spousal unit’s definitely worth it.
I agree, though, that it can be a frustrating, draining process to find someone who completes you. If my wife dies before me (Heaven forfend), I would just stay single for the remainder of my life, ’cause I don’t think I’ve got that much emotional energy left to find another partner.
I think women are great, generally. Unfortunately for me the feeling is almost always not mutual.
That’s exactly what I mean. I think I’d be happy alone, so why bother?
Fair enough.
I don’t think I’d be happy alone, but I’d do the cost-versus-benefit analysis of searching for another mate, with “cost” overwhelming “benefit” at some point.
“Women aren’t worth it”
Is this English? I can’t understand this collection of sound signifiers.

You got a 7 year old drunk?
That would explain an awful lot, I’ve got to keep an eye on her.
Beat me to it. It’d be a good way to make sure nap time happens, though.

“Expert” opinion
A doctor at the forefront of combating coronavirus at a major Wisconsin hospital was despairing.
“This has become so political. There should have been a straightforward message from the beginning about wearing masks to protect others. It’s too late now. In the present climate, I think this is unstoppable and a lot more people are going to die than would have if politics didn’t get in the way of health,” said the doctor who did not want to be identified because the corporation that owns the hospital did not give him permission to speak.
People die. All the bloody time, for lots of reasons. I thought doctors would be likely to know that.
Also- evul kkkorporate medicine!
*hovers over link*
Pass.
There was a straightforward message about masks at the beginning of this. But he and those of his ilk threw a massive tantrum about it until they got their way and had it changed.

“This. Is. CNN.”
This is what they call “gaslighting”.
They believe they’re impartial journalists. Deluded not dishonest.
That could be true. I don’t know which scenario is scarier.
The University of Washington’s Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation has warned that the refusal of Iowa’s governor, Kim Reynolds, to require masks in public spaces will cost 700 additional lives over the next three months. It predicted the number of coronavirus deaths at about 13 a day in Iowa by the end of October with the present policy compared to fewer than two if 95% of people used face coverings.
“According to my model, I’m a GEENYUSS!”
It just gets deeper and deeper.
It’s nice to live in a state where the governor hasn’t completely lost her mind.

This could get good
Thousands of bikers heading to South Dakota’s 10-day Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will not be allowed through Cheyenne River Sioux checkpoints, a spokesman for the Native American group said on Saturday.
The decision to prevent access across tribal lands to the annual rally, which could attract as many as 250,000 bikers amid fears it could lead to a massive, regional coronavirus outbreak, comes as part of larger Covid-19 prevention policy. The policy has pitted seven tribes that make up the Great Sioux Nation against federal and state authorities, which both claim the checkpoints are illegal.
A duty officer for the Cheyenne River Sioux told the Guardian on Saturday that only commercial and emergency vehicles will be let through the checkpoints onto reservation land.
A number of bikers had tried to enter but had been turned back, they said. Other reservations in the region, including the Oglala Sioux, were also turning away bikers that had attempted routes to Sturgis that pass through sovereign land.
Under Cheyenne River tribal guidelines non-residents driving non-commercial out-of-state vehicles are never allowed through the reservation. During the rally, non-commercial vehicles with South Dakota plates are also not allowed through.
The clampdown comes as fears mount that mask-free bikers visiting Sturgis for the largest gathering of people since the start of the Covid-19 epidemic could spread the virus to tribal groups that are already experiencing a rise in cases.
——-
On Friday, a worker at the event told the Guardian crowds seemed larger than in previous years and warned that Sturgis attendees were paying little heed to medical advice.
“I’ve not seen one single person wearing a mask,” said bartender Jessica Christian, 29. “It’s just pretty much the mentality that, ‘If I get it, I get it.’”
“In downtown Sturgis it’s just madness,” Christian added. “People not socially distancing, everybody touching each other. It’ll be interesting to see how that turns out.”
I’m not convinced the kids at the Guardian are a dependable source of information. My understanding was that the tribes were attempting to block state routes through the res. We’ll see how this plays out.
Wounded Knee two, Boogaloo?
“People not socially distancing, everybody touching each other.”
MAH LAWD! People acting like human beings?!? Where is my fainting couch!?
Block all roads into and out of the reservations.
They wanna be sovereign, they can be sovereign.

Oh. SSDD.
