I was about to go to bed as a weird YouTube clip unfamiliar to me by user or appeared in my feed and I thought to capture it here for the benefit of all. I didn't watch it even, I could just tell it was interest so I linked it and shut down everything to go to bed. Based on the policy, I'll just...

Listened to the Real Life Ghosts Stories coverage of this, and the Beechmount Polt has a number of interesting features. Interestingly financial gain doesn't seem to be much of a factor, with the biggest possibility being a hope that the book would turn into a hit of Amityville proportions. But...

It's a bit more interesting - I don't think she was a rip-off artist but a genuine believer. She was part of the New York School of Occult Arts and Sciences at least, an organization which is surely unusual and I'd like to know more about, and she unfortunately had a sad end of her life. A bit...

She is the lady who ritually cleansed David Bowie's demon infested swimming pool! A book about her: https://www.amazon.com/David-Bowie-Witchcraft-Cocaine-Paranoia/dp/1606119885 I've heard the story about Bowie and the swimming pool, which involved him feeling an evil entity had taken up...

Do we have some of the deer carcass still? Perhaps slobber DNA could be pulled from it.

Roger Waters talking about his recent controversies (warning: lots of profanity):

You should box your Picture Box box on Boxing Day!

This may have been discussed, but I can't find out about it via a search. My brother talked about the fact that a novel COVID strain was being detected by sewage detection, and scientists believed it is from a single person who keeps pooping in a few specific toilets. Scientists are trying to...

Thanks all and particularly @escargot and @blessmycottonsocks - I think that it is definately trying to evoke the Picture Box specifically and that countdown on Look Around You seems very much what the initial countdown screen is based on! Even if it is a new product made to evoke that specific...

Does anybody know anything else about this? Dread Central says this about it: https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/455432/creepy-new-video-delves-into-the-world-of-shadowbox/

https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20230529-the-people-who-dont-wash-their-clothes It's possible that this trend may make a stink, but I admittedly don't always wash my jeans after every use. I never wear socks or underwear more than a day, and I doubt I'd change that.

Thought some folks might have an interest in this volume: https://taff.org.uk/ebooks.php?x=UKcons1

I would say I'm right handed, but I can write legibility with my left. As an experiment I've wanted to test myself and see what my cartooning is like drawing with both hands to see if that changes anything, like rough sketching with my left to add motion and energy, then finishing the finer...

Mars Livestream!

I didn't understand some of the stuff going on these days, particularly the anti-sex stuff coming from apparently progressive folks, but this article certainly connected some interesting cultural dots for me, and the strange role that the animated show Voltron played in it all. I wouldn't be...

Going to antique sales, I came across a used DVD of this video - Ancient Pyramids: Lost Legend of Enoch that tries to tie the Pyramids to Christianity. The official site: https://kenkleinproductions.net/Product.cfm?iProd=5

I haven't watched it yet!

This is 100% what is going on: ... in all seriousness, looking forward to further disclosures.

Pierre Domec has a most unusual YouTube channel. It is cosplay recreations of battles in the classic American West, with all parts (calvary, Native Americans, pioneers) played by women. Fun and strange at the same time!

Hmm... looks like there is a thing that is called Future Life Progression: https://kemilahypnosis.com/past-life-regression/future-life-progression/ More about it here: https://thegreenroomtherapy.com/future-life-progression/

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/25/us/kentucky-man-shoots-roommate-hot-pocket/index.html

We've heard of past life regressions... but has anybody ever claimed to have gotten a post-life progression message from a future life? I was thinking if people did have such visions of their future selves, it might be interesting to see if unexpected things did come true. Not in a directly...

A solid, logical explanation to spoon bending is just bending it enough beforehand to get the metal close to breaking, and then using slight of hand and the weakened metal to achieve the desired effect. Simple, easy, and achievable. However, there used to be a rather more elaborate theory about...

I was listening to an episode of the comics podcast Cartoonist Kayfabe called Psychology Test For Nerds - Will You Pass Or Fail?, which was dedicated to a story in Dan Clowes comic Eightball called Black Nylon. According to the podcast, he created the story using Edwin S. Shneidman's MAPS, or...

I've been reading The Death and Resurrection Show : From Shaman To Superstar by Rogan P Taylor. It's been getting traction recently with lots of talk about it from Russell Brand, who talked to Dua Lipa about it on her podcast At Your Service (which is where I heard about it - yep I'm a Dua Lipa...

Now we have a real-life sequel! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/india-chennai-airport-22-snakes-found-by-customs/

If you recall the fellow early in the Real Life Superhero movement known (I think) as Axel Grinder Man, who removed car boots preventing them from driving off... here in my hometown, we've got The Boot Girls, masked TikTokers who are doing roughly the same thing. In their case, they are not...
