Ave Atque Vale Holly Lisle

This is a post I didn’t want to write for at least another thirty years, or possibly for the rest of my life, since Holly was only a year and change older than I, and she might well have outlived me.

I found out yesterday, from Suburban in comments that Holly Lisle had died of cancer. She died on the 27th of August, according to Wikipedia.

The last time I thought of Holly Lisle, a friend/commenter on this blog who is also a friend of hers asked if I’d heard from her because he hadn’t ...

In Time

I is said that science changes at the speed of filling graves.

Thing is it’s not just science. It’s the world. And actually, no, it’s not that fast.

Also, the hacks that fill graves faster, like fascism and communism DO change things fast — I suspect this was the realization of the totalitarians of the 20th century that led to all the mass graves “if we kill people, we kill institutional memory” — but they lose a lot of he things that make the world work, along with the things they’d l...

The Psyop Inside the Psyop

I almost called this Teacup in A Tempest. Because the whole thing is being talked about upside down, sideways and tiltawhirl. And in the end it’s just what it always is, the same old games played in the same way.

In case you missed the tempest in the tiniest of teacups: This far-right influencer who liked to talk about how everyone else was controlled by Jewish money was named in a Justice Department indictment for taking millions of dollars to run a Russian influence operation on YouTub...

Politics and Religion

No, this post actually has practically nothing to do with conventional religion. It has a lot to do with worship and the vision of religion.

First of all let’s establish what politics is, from my POV. I don’t like politics, unlike what you might believe from reading this blog. I do watch it, though. Because if I turn my back on it, it might decide to take an interest in me. I learned that early, you see.

So I watch it obsessively and try to guess what it’s up to, not because I love it ...

Why We Still Believe There Was Election Fraud in 2020 – Tom Kratman

(This is an older writing of Tom’s, but I thought it was still worth looking into. From the questions you can tell it’s from before the ongoing disaster of the Biden Junta, but if it was ever published — he’s not sure — it was on twitter. So I thought it needed wider dissimination.)

Why We Still Believe There Was Election Fraud in 2020 – Tom Kratman

So why, after all this, do so many of us _still_ believe the election was stolen?

In the first place, there are two things we mean by “...

A Labor of Love

Labor day is one of those holidays that never made any sense to me. “Let’s celebrate people who work” makes about as much sense as “Yay for everyone who draws breath!” or perhaps more accurately “let’s hear it for people who have two thumbs.”

Sure, there are people who don’t work, but just like people who don’t have two thumbs they are vanishingly rare. And to a great extent equally unfortunate. Because humans were made to strive, and lack of strife makes us impaired and handicapped, jus...

Lines of Departure 2-2: The Choice isn’t Trump or Harris by Tom Kratman

 No, no; the choice is between Trump and a closed oligarchy that does NOT have your interests in mind. In short, whatever you want to do, you _cannot_ vote Harris. Oh, yes, you can cast your vote beside her name, but she is not the front runner; she is a front, just as her putative boss, Joe Biden, was.
