I’ll be back soon. Very busy.
I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille!
The planets are unaligned this week.
This is why I let her on the furniture
Leo and Virgo remain large and in charge tis week. With Virgo, it’s a “can do no wrong” sort of situation, whereas with Leo, it’s more of an “unbelievable luck” thing. So Leos should buy one (1) lottery ticket this week. If you buy a bunch, it looks like you’re trying to game the system, and Luck does not like a smartass.
Domestic. Tranquility.
Leo: Queen of Wands – A dark woman, countrywoman, friendly, chaste, loving, honorable, love of money, or a certain success in business. This card needs more explanation, but no time for that now.
Virgo: 9 of Swords – Death, failure, miscarriage, delay, deception, disappointment, despair. But at least it’s not The Tower.
Libra: The World reversed – Inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence.
Scorpio: 9 of Wands reversed – Obstacles, adversity, calamity.
Sagittarius: 9 of Cups – Concord, contentment, physical bien-être, victory, success, advantage, satisfaction
Capricorn: 6 of Wands – Triumph, great news, expectation, hope. We seem to draw this card way too often for a site specializing in bad news.
Aquarius: Ace of Wands – Creation, invention, enterprise, principle, beginning, source, birth, family, origin.
Pisces: Knight of Coins – Utility, serviceableness, interest, responsibility, rectitude
Aries: 2 of Cups reversed – The ending of a partnership, poisons, drugs that fail to work
Taurus: 2 of Coins – Gaiety, recreation, news and messages in writing, obstacles, agitation, trouble, embroilment.
Gemini: The Devil reversed – Evil, weakness, pettiness, blindness.
Cancer: 2 of Swords reversed – Imposture, falsehood, duplicity, disloyalty, misdirected revenge
Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me. Hard.
With a broomstick, maybe
+1 NYPD
Lol
May I borrow your chainsaw?
“Virgo: 9 of Swords – Death, failure, miscarriage, delay, deception, disappointment, despair. But at least it’s not The Tower.”
Jeez, does it get any worse? Cause I don’t need worse right now.
Same fellow Virgo. Last week was so promising but this!? Feck.
Alternatively I can stop blaming things on circumstances I don’t control and instead just handle what I can.
I do not want to be embroiled. I don’t want to be embaked or emboiled, either.
How about embattered?
Like tempura shrimp?
Onion Rings work,
I will totally emblanche you.
How about embiggened?
Embargoed?
I’m embarrassed but not embedded
embarked?
I love the ancient tenses
embroil from the French
bemoan (Old English, so who knows where it really comes from)
Vikings who speak French can really mess things up
I was thinking about a book idea with magic and all that Latin or whatever mumbo jumbo, then it occurred to me. English is the most magical language ever. Biggest vocabulary==precision and nuance you can’t get anywhere else. You can make the same phrases say entirely different things.
I didn’t say he stole the money.
I DIDN’T say he stole the money.
I didn’t SAY he stole the money.
I didn’t say HE stole the money.
I didn’t say he STOLE the money.
I didn’t say he stole THE money.
I didn’t say he stole the MONEY.
Where is HM? Can other languages do this?
all tonal languages do that?
I generally have three choices with friends, families, and colleages: Latin, German, but let’s set aside Gaelic for now.
So the same conversation goes different ways depending.
German: have/get, sweat, land, ***
Spanish/French: obtain, perspire, territory, beaucoup/much
Irish: ***, ***, ***, galore
I can’t think of any reason not to use the easier word for the listener.
Pitch not tone. Tone in linguistics sense changes meaning entirely. Chinese, for example.
I can do what Mojeaux suggests in Japanese, but I’m not fluent enough to know if it is as flexible here as English.
Similar to English it’s done with pitch.
“Tone in linguistics sense changes meaning entirely.”
of course/if I’d thought about it a minute I’d realized it wasn’t a good fit
Dunno any of that, but I do know the Irish were lying.
Cancer: 2 of Swords reversed – Imposture, falsehood, duplicity, disloyalty, misdirected revenge – wait the guy I ran over in my car was not in fact my nemesis? huh…
I really look forward to the doggie pics.
Leo: Queen of Wands – A dark woman, countrywoman, friendly, chaste, loving, honorable, love of money, or a certain success in business. This card needs more explanation, but no time for that now.
Sounds good to me!
Women are trouble
Women and the PO-lice!
Nice pictures.
Leo, it’s more of an “unbelievable luck” thing.
Bad luck is luck.
Born under a Bad Sign?

Ha!, never heard this! thanks!
Sent that link to my Music collaberator, great song!
Skynyrd is worth digging deep. Lotta cool stuff there.
I know they very well rehearsed before they ever set foot in public, and brought it, right out of the box,
Hard working guys,
Check this out.

I ain’t buying it, but I will take it. Those four things are all from the before times.
I must find a Pisces.
OT – Welcome to NY’s new bail policies.
Accused NYC bank robber hits two more following no-bail release
NY and specifically NYC were locking up lots of poor and homeless and essentially punishing them for being poor or not knowing how the bail process works. So rather than fix the abuses of the police and prosecutors the “solution” is no bail.
Fucking insanity.
I really wonder if NYC is going to go the way of Detroit. I know they have several business sectors that are pretty well dug in there… But between lax-on-crime policies, COVID insanity, and ridiculous taxes, you have to imagine that a lot of businesses are considering greener pastures.
I think many big cities are going the way of Detroit for the reasons you cite. Philly. Minneapolis. Others.
Detroit was the auto industry for basically the whole world and they managed to fuck that up.
true
but it would be impossible not to fuck that up
we bombed all their competition out of existence, but that wasn’t going to last
I’m a second law kind of guy: expect change, expect entropy
corollary: sell high and get out of town
guys who refuse to sell or go public always confuse me: cash that check and get out of town!
If one money center bank leaves then NYC will be mortally wounded. Because if even one leaves then more are sure to follow.
Nah. It didn’t happen last time and I don’t think it will this time. People are already fed-up and NYC still has a thriving middle-class that is showing signs of pushing back. All they have do is show it at the voting booth, LOL.
Scorpio: 9 of Wands reversed – Obstacles, adversity, calamity.
So I applied for a management position where I work and have unofficially gotten it, according to a couple of the people who conducted my interview. But I haven’t actually received an official offer. The quarter ended this past month and the guy who was going to make the final decision told me during the interview not to expect an official answer until around then. I work in semiconductors so as you can imagine the company has been busy to a level nobody anticipated. Still, starting to really wonder now…
Sometimes the hold up is HR, like the person who does the paperwork is on vacay. Could that be the case here?
Not sure. I’ll probably send an inquiring email about it at the end of this week if I still haven’t heard an official yes/no.

Sounds like a crazy 20 year-old destroyed a $1.2 billion ship because he liked a girl.
Also – has a female sailor ever not gotten pregnant on a deployment?
Did her ship come in? Or did it pull out?
Didn’t sound like he was entering dry dock.
Somebody got his keel wet.
Apparently she didn’t and, if the accusations are true, he is a nut.
Someone here (I think) suggested he was a patsy.
Son, how do you plead?
Q…? Are you out marketing your meat to strangers again?

Be more French.
It sounds like their authoritarianism is a bit more extreme than ours at this point but still… WTF, Americans?
“To arms, cit-izens! Let’s march, let’s march!” ? See, it works.

I could hire two people tomorrow. I can’t even get people to come in for an interview. ?
I can relocate, where you at?
We’re about 45 minutes North of Philly.
We can chat post surgery, if you’d like.
Keep me posted, that’s not too far away for relocation purposes,
A relative of mine recently reached out to me about a job his buddy is hiring. I have 0 experience in the field but have a few skills that could be transferable. Job is almost double my current pay. I suspect they’re having trouble finding people.
Obviously you’re not paying enough. Do better.
The biggest benefit they get is me being their boss. You can’t put a dollar amount on that. ?
In that case – I’m going to need an additional 25% 😛
Obviously, employers can’t find workers because so many people have dropped dead from COVID! Just like in the Black Plague!
/sarcastic, but probably exactly what someone somewhere has said
They were employing Chipmunks?
Traffic levels don’t reflect that.
Triumph, great news, expectation, hope.
Like this Triumph?
I’d take it.
I drove a Triumph once, with all the controls swapped sides. Damn near killed myself.

OT: Mojeaux, this was your particular bag, right? https://www.10news.com/entertainment/labyrinth-returning-to-theaters-in-september-in-honor-of-35th-anniversary
Mr. “Arabia” rode a Brough Superior SS100, which was a serious world beating superbike at the time. Apparently, it beat him too.
Excuse my ignoraminity. Just being facetious.
Excuse my pedantry, I’m a motorcycle nut.
Although, I can assure you that Larry himself would have taken offense if it were insinuated that he were riding a lowly Triumph.
? Suitably chastened.
My entire motorcycle experience is one brief pillion session on a BMW in the Hollywood Hills. But I do my best to look out for you lunatics. 😉
Yayaaaaaaaasssssssss, and on my wedding anniversary too!
You were married on the release date of Labrynth?
Better. Friday the 13th.
I just learned that Kentaro Miura passed away in May. I get to experience what it is like to follow a story for the better part of two decades and never get an ending out of it.
I know almost none of you will know who the fuck up I’m talking about.
If you weren’t a jerk people might care, I have seen you in a choherent state before, be that guy.

Bowie is on backing vocals, and I think wrote it,

What dudes?
The one he wants to relate to of course, the young ones,

Yes! A staple of the house band at D’Jais in Belmar NJ in the ’70s. With background vocals provided by a couple hundred yutes drunk on Schaefer “beer”.
Does this have something to do with the Ivermectin that I just got?
If you grind it up and snort it, it’ll work faster. I heard.
This is why I let her on the furniture
Because she’d be up there anyway?

There is an entire genre of “black people react to” videos on YouTube, If done well it can be entertaining also there is a lot of ‘cringe’ as the kids say. Of the ones I’ve seen on “Black Betty” they all love it, not a single one complains or throws out the racists card. I think people over play the “it couldn’t be made today card” It’s a good example of how “narratives” aren’t just for libtards.

Because nobody can make more ? and at greater expense and danger to everyone involved. Bang up job, boys.
I’m down with do what you want, but meth is just bad news, for everyone around it, A self induced scourge on Humanity,
/I know
I think this will make a good post, I have a lifetime of experience, well kind of,
Misadventures in Meth, coming soon,
You gonna stay up all night writing it?
I already have about 800 words, pretty good for me, and it’s only ’96
more before I’m done,
I know, too – but what this country (and many others) is doing to combat that is ass-backwards and guaranteed to fail.
There’s a substance and the effect it has depends on how much, how long , how high of quality, your personal condition and a host of other things, there’s no means of combatting such a thing. If it spins someone out of control and they cause damage to another, prosecute that. Otherwise, just leave them alone, until they realize, like even the hippies of the 60’s did, that speed kills.
Well, by “combat that” I had in mind things like encouraging conditions that don’t lead so many people into that lifestyle. Mostly it just means let the economy flourish but we don’t seem willing to do that any more. In fact we are doing the exact opposite.
I’m down with this Rhy,

Domestic. Tranquility.
The main reason humans attained such a close affinity for dogs is mostly based on our ability to genetically engineer their desire to be pleased by us, thus pleasing ourselves. Despite basically being 98% the same species, a wolf will rip your throat out at the first opportunity when it feels a hunger pain or hears one from it’s cubs…a well cared for dog will die trying to defend you from the wolf.
Which ties into my first point. Domesticated dogs will love and be loyal to you as long as you show them that they belong in your pack. The least you can do is try to make them feel welcome in it. It ain’t that hard. Don’t be a dick to your dog…and I say that as a person who doesn’t particularly like them. I find the unwavering loyalty, constant attention and desire to please off-putting.
