Just watched Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It was alright.

There has been a lot of everything. The quantity that allows for a couple of days of exceptional lunches/snacks/midnight feasts after.

It’s my birthday so, yes, I will have the smellier, second most expensive cheese.

‘The Magic Circle’ 1886 by John William Waterhouse is our pick for φαρμακίς ‘witch, sorceress’ #ClassicsTober25

This painting captures the power and potential of harnessing a knowledge of nature to achieve certain ends. Could this be Medea, Circe or yet another powerful ancient figure? #Witch
Description from the Tate: “The woman in this picture appears to be a witch or priestess, endowed with magic powers, possibly the power of prophecy. Her dress and general appearance is highly eclectic, and is derived from several sources – her hairstyle is like that of an early Anglo-Saxon; and her dress is decorated with Persian or Greek warriors. In her left hand she holds a crescent-shaped sickle, linking her with the moon and Hecate. With the wand in her right hand she draws a protective magic circle round her. Outside the circle the landscape is bare and barren; a group of rooks or ravens and a frog - all symbols of evil and associated with witchcraft - are excluded. But within its confines are flowers and the woman herself, objects of beauty.”

If this is not reflected in the actions of our governments, then we can no longer say that we live in democracies.

It's #bandcampfriday so why not have a listen to our demos.

It would be good preparation, because we have a major release due to drop in a couple of weeks... 😮 🤘

The Second Sleep. Not sure how I feel about the ending but an interesting read.

Spent the evening finishing a Robert Harris novel, then starting something thoughtful by Alan Watts. It has been really peaceful.

Nostalgia is a gateway to fascism, and that's why you have to resist its allure

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

Am convalescing with this excellent series about Mussolini. The lessons for the 21st century are stark.

Contrast with Alien: Romulus which has a very clearly understanding of the tones and moods of that fictional world.
