I seem to have misplaced the phone with the better camera that I take pics with, so you only get this one that was uploaded before the phone took a vacation.
I haz a donut.
There, now you can go comment.
This week only has one alignment, and it’s kind of an unusual one. The planets involved, Earth, Mercury, and Mars aren’t odd in and of themselves, but it is weird that the sun isn’t involved. I could plausibly read that as meaning this particular happening is less efficacious than it would be under normal circumstances, or I could go back to first principles which state “anything weird is scary and bad” and interpret that interaction in the worst light possible. Okay, not the worst, since that would necessitate a comet being involved. Anywhoo, chaos and violence come to your home this week. Sharp objects will be involved most likely unseen ones since both of those planets are in Scorpio at the moment. Time at the shore is recommended, as is the consumption of sea plants.
A lot of cards drawn this week indicate stasis. Of particular interest are The Hierophant and the High Priestess being drawn back to back. These are a couple representing the spiritual and esoteric nature of the sexes, as opposed to the physical/temporal nature represented by the Emperor/Empress pair. Jodorowsky uses a deck where these cards are called “The Pope” and “The Popess.”
Scorpio: 10 of Swords reversed – Advantage, profit, success, favor, but none of these are permanent.
Sagittarius: 7 of cups – This card is going to need it’s own explanation, but TL;DR: it’s a warning against relying on imagination, divination, or inter/extrapolation.
Capricorn: The Tower reversed. I know you know about this one.
Aquarius: 6 of Cups reversed – The future, renewal, that which will come to pass presently.
Pisces: The Hermit – Prudence, circumspection, treason, dissimulation, roguery, corruption.
Aries: 3 of Swords reversed – Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.
Taurus: The Chariot – Accomplishment, security, resting on one’s laurels.
Gemini: King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.
Cancer: The High Priestess reversed -Passion, moral or physical ardor, conceit, surface knowledge.
Leo: The Hierophant reversed – Society, good understanding, concord, overkindness, weakness.
Virgo: Knight of Coins reversed – inertia, idleness, stagnation, placidity, discouragement, carelessness.
Libra: The World reversed – Inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence.
Lucky puppy!
Leo: The Hierophant reversed – Society, good understanding, concord, overkindness, weakness.
Seems unlikely.
Gotta say…lately, I find the NRO “Editors” podcast a lot more refreshing than the “Fifth Column”. You almost always get Charlie Cooke (+++) – even if some of the others are more Team Red – you get some good discussions/arguments compared to TDS, etc for the most part and much more thoughtful economic discussion.
Newest ep from Friday is really good.
I may give it a shot. I love the Fifth Column when Moynihan is being his funny, degenerate alcoholic self and Kmele carries the libertarian flag, but sometimes I want to shout at them.
Especially when Welch is talking. The show suffers not at all when he’s absent. Appropriate that he’s still associated with TOS – emblematic of their slide into cosmotarianism.
Slide? I thought it was more of a plummet, one I saw coming with great frustration.
It is amazing to me how easily most people sell out.
Naw, Mad Dogs.
Yeah, but KDW has been in Scotland for a while and they have trouble keeping up even a weekly schedule. Editors is normally 2-3x a week.
Sagittarius: 7 of cups – This card is going to need it’s own explanation, but TL;DR: it’s a warning against relying on imagination, divination, or inter/extrapolation.
For example?
President Joe Biden’s top economic adviser on Sunday cited rising inflation in the US as a reason for Congress to pass the President’s massive economic package, arguing the legislation will help stymie rapidly rising prices of consumer goods.
“Well, inflation is high right now, and it is affecting consumers in their pocketbook and also in their outlook for the economy. But those concerns underscore why it’s so important that we move forward on the Build Back Better legislation — this legislation that the House is going to consider this week,” Brian Deese, the director of the National Economic Council, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
“This, more than anything, will go at the cost that Americans face,” he added, noting that the bill’s provisions won’t add to any inflationary pressures.
The comments from Deese come as House Democrats hope to pass the $1.75 trillion economic bill this week, pumping money into a number of social safety net programs that the White House aide argued “go at lowering costs for American families.” Deese said he’s “confident” that the chamber will approve the package this week.
But pumping vast sums of freshly conjured money into the economy is the most reliable and effective way to combat inflation imagineable.
Reese? Nuts!
Dammit, Deese.
Deese nuts you mean?
Or, Brian damage.
In other words screw the middle class. We’re going to help out the poor, the rich can manage the increased prices. But the middle class won’t qualify for the “social spending”, will bear the brunt of inflation and get a nice raise in annual taxes.
Scorpio: 10 of Swords reversed – Advantage, profit, success, favor, but none of these are permanent.
I’m going to win the lottery then blow it all on NFTs?
“Virgo: Knight of Coins reversed – inertia, idleness, stagnation, placidity, discouragement, carelessness.”
I don’t need any of that right now, even inertia cut both ways.
“This, more than anything, will go at the cost that Americans face,” he added, noting that the bill’s provisions won’t add to any inflationary pressures.
When will somebody just laugh in this idiot’s face when he makes a preposterous assertion like this? When will the studios audience stamp their feet and chant, “Bull Shit, Bull Shit, Bull Sit!” in unison? I’d pay money to watch.
Their BS would be more convincing if they just ignored it and didn’t comment on it rather than calling attention to it and blatantly lying to us: “You’re not seeing what you’re seeing!!”
Lower your expectations!

Turn around trip to Cali for niece’s baby shower. The ships off coast are truly a sight to see.
https://pasteboard.co/Pw8nC8iEnkFp.jpg
Yikes, that doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence vis a vis the supply chain.
You’re just too dumb to understand. Sleepy Joe and his Top Men told us so.
Aktchullay, it’s a good thing. Something, something pent up demand
And each and every one of those ships are probably losing $100K/day in various hard and soft costs, all of which they’ll ultimately recoup on our backs.
I was at the Newport Beach Pier the other day and counted 36 ships, although some of the distant ones to the northwest may have actually been 2 separate ships that I counted as one.
Just got my first face-shaming at the supermarket. I’m so proud of myself!
“Where’s your mask sir?”
“Excuse me?” Repeat x2 as I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
*scoffs* “Home.”
“Would you like one?”
“No.”
A very drunk girl on the plane had to continually be told to put mask up. I just ate the whole trip since it’s a 40 minute flight
The airlines are the new cause of American obesity.
She was decent looking and asked when we landed if I wanted to get drunk with her. I wisely said no
This is truth.
Heh.
The hound curled up next to me would concur.
We got a pup at the beginning of the covid mess. We are baffled because she refuses to lay on the couch. Every dog we have ever had has been a couch hog. She prefers our raised fireplace slip instead. Same applies to our bed, the only time she gets up there is to wake us up in the morning. Nothing like waking up to 80 lbs of dog standing on you.
I’ve got 60! pounds of staffie-catahoula mix that gets cold and decides she needs to burrow under the covers, head first, at 2 am.
It’s a work in progress.
Perfect example of when it’s hard to be angry being woken up in the middle of the night.
60 factorial seems like quite a bit of weight. :-p
Nice big strips for lunch.

1% paying 40%? Heck, he’s right!
My favorite reading is the mental gymnastics the left go through to say the 1% don’t pay 40%.
No, the Richest One Percent Don’t Pay 40 Percent of the Taxes.
“The Stat is literally true. But it is deeply misleading”
“Fuck you, cut spending.”
“The Stat is literally true. But it is deeply misleading”
In a just world that would constitute permission to smack the person saying/writing it.
Oh, Elon.
How we love your snark ?
I’m looking for some NFL pre-game show that doesn’t involve an annoying ignorant chick with too much make-up on.
There isn’t one. Not on NFL, ESPN, Fox, or CBS.
Sigh. Muted until Red Zone channel starts up.
Relevant.
And in good news, everybody’s favorite coronavirus heretic has been activated off the covid list.
I have watched that clip many, many times.
And she’s not even one of the most annoying ones, aside from the “adorable” winter knit mittens and hats she wore on cold days.
When I had the NFL network I liked Kay Adams on Good Morning Football. Very pretty and actually understands the game.
Stop right there.
I don’t watch any “pre-game shows”, “post-game shows”, “half-time shows”, you name it.
GO BILLS!
Pretty sure the Bills will beat the Jets.
Although last week…
SIGNS POINT TO YES
If the Redskins beat the Buccaneers, my day will be complete.
I will cheer for any opposition that appears on The Tom Brady Show. Surprisingly he is not nationwide this week. ?
“Advantage, profit, success, favor, but none of these are permanent.”
They never are.
Despite the fact that its been snowing all morning, and that nasty stuff is trying its best to stick- Obligatory
Pisces: The Hermit – Prudence, circumspection, treason, dissimulation, roguery, corruption.
Shit. Now I’m on another list.
“Roguery” is a word I need to work into conversations.
‘Thuggery’ is my preference.
The polio story as you learned it is wrong.
Interesting thread about more fuckery from the Medical Industrial Complex.
From 2018.
Next you’re going to tell me that Mimic is not a documentary.
I love that film.
That guy posts some wackamamie cock-a-doodle half-assery as far as I can tell but the polio story might warrant some investigation.
Reviews of his book on Amazon say he’s an “antibacterial”, but it doesn’t hurt to take a closer look and weigh each claim on its own merits.
I wish I’d known about the Puss-in-Boat when I was in Amsterdam, quite some time ago. Not far from the Anne Frank house. You can see a pedestrian view on Street View.
Cat house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okOVxfuSYPk
I have seen that vid before, and while very, very cute, we have four cats, and boy, those boxes fill up quickly.
Yeah, that’s cute, buddy. But you’re still a cat lady.
first snow of the season, and it’s just wet, snotty slop now, perfect for driving to the store,
Yippee!

Interesting.
Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.
Oh, another typical work week.

Nasty.
I went to see a George Strait cover band last night. No peeing involved.
Disappointed?
“Try a Chiropractor Bob, it might help” No Thanks,
https://www.skeptic.org.uk/2021/11/the-death-of-john-lawler-raises-serious-questions-about-the-regulation-of-chiropractors/
But of course more regulation is needed.
Let’s compare the kill rates of chiropractors versus the NHS.
I like my inefficient American health care, thank you,

We import most of our fertilizer from China?
We shouldn’t have to, what with all they produce in DC. ::rimshot::
I thought it was from DC.
Ok, both cars washed, all fluids proper, windshields Rain-X’d and tire pressures are good.
Now off to the grocery store. At least it is sunny and 70F out, a very pleasant day.
I will see y’all later.
Because meat processing isn’t “glamorous”. ?
Your demand for meat is literally killing people.
That’s 250 died with COVID out of nearly 500,000 who work in the industry. Around 1 in 2,000, probably the same as others their age, etc.
Yeah, there is some more of that DC fertilizer. I would think the price of fertilizer should be going down given the abundance of the stuff.
In sense same with the meat.
