in the early 90s i spent a year and a day apprenticed to a chaos witch, learning the trade. this was mostly about sex - it was a LGBTQ (say 'lugbutqah) coven. when the girls got tired of talking about 'the moon in their wombs' we'd drop x and worship pan. the main lesson was that trained minds...

maya, in buddhism, refers to a certain kind of illusion, and i'll just refer you to wikipedia for that. it should be said that buddhism doesn't beat around the bush about maya - it is the tool of Lord Mara, the demon lord of lies. here i'm using it to identify idea constructs, made of many...

anyone watching? this show is *important*. fuck realityTV, this is life. this is black america. now to look at me, i'm white as the queen of england but because i'm gay and into drugs, i lived in this world. (every nigga born know the faggots have the best drugs). just watch this....i've been...

a clerihew is a short poem, kinda like the other limerick. example: michael jackson looked anglosaxon due to some nasty rhinoplasty. while learning about this, i found one on trump, written ages ago forrest gump told donald trump "you know i like you we have the same IQ" sourcePDF

there has always been an idea in the united states that for any given problem, if one can find a way to apply capitalism, then the problem will solve itself. i can't argue with the track record - it has worked in many situations. i have some issues with the underlying assumption that greed is...

wtf - arabs are semites, too. i hate word games (pro-choice, pro-life, grande cups, etc). should i just go with 'anti-jewish' or is there are better word? i grew up in the deep south. i had no conception of jews as a 'race' until i was in high school. in middle school history class, when we...

for the utterly clueless, parliament/funkadelic were/are a group of bands that came together in the 70s. thus was during the afro-power days when every american black was directly descended from nefrititi. the genius of george cllinton was in realizing that mythology is just a story, and...

y'all haters are gonna love this.....we call them 'iddhi' . for me, it's just another impossible thing to believe before breakfast.

The first thing you need to understand is that Chinese pop comedy is by and large slap stick and silly. It doesn't fit into what Americans call 'guy comedy' like Dumb and Dumber - it's its own thing. I liked Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. The film is based on a classic novel. The...

'race' as it's used in america, is a social construct. the premise is that H. sapiens can be divided into a half dozen or so categories based on appearance or ancestral origin. this is done with complete disregard to genetics. though the categories and their labels have changed and 'evolved'...

ever tried to breed aquarium fish? everything has to be *perfect* or no dice. tried keeping mice? doesn't matter if they are starving, overcrowded and filled with disease - they keep on popping them out. what is the difference?

Chill, it's still impossible. I remember hearing in a lecture circa 95 the details of how DNA is organized in fertilized fish eggs and thinking - you can just inject the DNA? No vector no problem? Why don't I have glow in the dark goldfish? Well, it took another decade, but it did happen. In...

to me, the way to fight terrorism is to not be afraid. terrorism just isn't a significant danger - you are more likely to die by any number of weird events than in a terrorist attack. moreover, 3000 people died in 9/11. that many children die from malaria every day. just taking the painting from...

did you know that hiphop has deep scifi roots? it starts with parliament/funkadelic, of course. the whole Starchild Mythology was a postmodern take on history - a reinvention of myth. Parliament - the Mothership Connection

Unbelievers - Vampire Weekend "We know the fire awaits unbelievers All of the sinners the same Girl you and I will die unbelievers bound to the tracks of the train"

background: the term 'infosocialism' comes from an RPG called Transhuman Space Where this comes into play at the moment is in the field of academic publishing. Few people outside of grad school have any idea how such works. Consider this gem: The objective efficacy of prayer: A double-blind...

just what it says, i'm exploring this subgenre and loving it. it all starts with Pfunk, of course

I'm just curious - that is a wholly meaningless platitude, right

i saw the thread on the Rig Veda and it reminded me of this gem - Sita Sings the Blues. it's an animated version of the Ramayana from the point of view of Rama's wife, Sita. it's charming, fresh, informative and the music rocks. Here's the trailer a link to the full movie Sita Sings the Blues

i really liked sense8 - but it was the Wachowski sibs and J. Michael Straczynski (the babylon5 guy), so i pretty much had to like it. does anyone know how shows like this get funded vs. commercial advertising? is it more or less profitable?
