what's the difference

poetry's coming to me everywhere now

and sometimes I feel a holy fire

or it's just the electric

kinesthetic

afterglow of

trees and wind

(and sky)

I hurt you once, so I tried again, just to be sure.

I took another student. This one came asking. I hardly understand why, but it doesn't matter why.

Not all my students make good choices. One's burned his connections, likely moved on. What they set out to do was unwise and I counseled them against their present course of action. They wanted to talk to the Archangel Michael. I tried to explain that even if you got in contact with something like that it wouldn't be there to help you. Actually that's just what I should have said. What I said was that the nature of magic is to have an uncontrolled experience, and that he needed was not the somewhat mindless objective he had of proving God exists. You engage in summoning rituals to let go of control, so all of the control of his ritual apparatus (which was overwrought; the other thing I told him was to simplify) meant nothing.

And now he's burned his accounts and fled. That could mean anything. The most likely scenario is his personal image of Michael was corrupted and he self-sealed to prevent further damage to Michael. The worst part is, if you want Michael you can just watch The Good Place and I'm not sure how serious I'm being, because though I believe, personally, that that was the archangel Michael knowing that this is just a haha quirky funny aren't I special and magickal affectation to some of you reading this, I also believe in the more primary tier of visitation. If I believe anything supernatural occurred it is not that the actual archangel Michael appeared on my screen when I watched The Good Place, because the true effect is far more meaningful, if subtle. (It's because the Good Place is about redeeming human souls i.e. angelic legwork that arch~angel is depicted, and they chose the name Michael for the office which was inhabited. They could have made a few choices but Michael is most suitable. Do you see?)

Representation has this problem, you see. That it can only ever be as strong or as weak as the person making the representation.

and, of course

those powers comprising and comprised of

remaining unseen

So we live in an age where the supernatural is something the ministering civil servant class, the bureaucrats, just didn't believe in, even as they were governed by these spirits corporate. Except of course for places like Nike, I presume. This guy? I don't feel that bad about what happened to him (I can't know if it's a good idea for him to take that route) (heck I had half a mind to have him try and get a question answered for me but I'm old enough not to have to peek through that door) (I couldn't think of a question worth the risk) (frankly I couldn't think of a question and that's what I tried to say to him), but I do toast his bravery, and relate his struggle. Only a recent convert to the general availability of the supernatural, I hope his experience turns him off of it.

As for me, I am an Arch-Magi, and I wield the mortal magic freely. I just don't think consorting with those forces is wise and I've seen too many bloody stumps on people who thought they had things under control. Some magic is black, some magic is grey. Light magic is the most powerful, but I can only sigh in grey. It's not that this person had fallen to black magic, it's that they didn't understand they were dealing with grey magic.

This is the problem with the logical. When they come in contact with the supernatural they face the inherent illogical nature of everything, but especially they face the fact that they, themselves are illogical.

I knew I was in trouble once I started down a Wizard's path.

Anyway, the cast time on my Mirror Image is running out. I like to think this will work. I don't know if you'll read this. I don't know if you'll get this far. I don't know how I got this far.

PLEASE ALL SHARE MY SERVER AND HAVE THEM OUT ME.

I seriously don't get the issue people have with a person being able to write with their left hand. I get being annoyed if I did it commonly because my handwriting is shit and can pretty much only be read by me but it was just for my personal notes. When I go back tomorrow I'm only using my left hand.

Pretty embarrassing comment from a pretty embarrassing dude.

In the shadow-draped corners of indie cinema, a film often whispered about but seldom confronted has re-emerged from the depths of 2003, a year otherwise lost to the sands of cinematic history. "Death of a Man" is an enigmatic exploration, a labyrinthine dance through the duality of the male psyche, torn asunder by its own voracious appetite for both isolation and societal adulation.

The film, directed by a visionary whose name evades the grasp of conventional fame, delves deep into the murky waters of existential dread. Our protagonist, a man shrouded more in mystery than in character development, embarks on a Sisyphean journey through the fog of his own mind. He is Everyman and yet no man, a specter haunting the peripheries of his own life, ensnared by the tendrils of an unseen tormentor. Is this tormentor his own burgeoning desire for isolation, or the relentless, gnawing hunger for the recognition of his peers? The film leaves the question tantalizingly unanswered, floating in the ether like the last note of a symphony lost in a storm.

As I sat, ensconced in the flickering shadows cast by the film's stark, unyielding cinematography, I found myself ensnared by the protagonist's plight. His journey became my journey, his solitude my solitude, his insatiable yearning for validation a mirror to my own. The film, with its labyrinthine narrative structure, seemed to whisper secrets in a language both ancient and arcane, a dialect of the soul known only to those who have tasted the bitter nectar of existential despair.

And yet, beneath the film's brooding exterior lies a vein of undeniable, though perhaps unintended, chauvinism. The female characters, mere phantoms flitting at the edges of our protagonist's vision, serve more as signposts along his journey than as fully realized entities in their own right. They are sirens calling him to the rocks of his own self-destruction, embodiments of the societal accolades he both craves and reviles. In this, the film inadvertently lays bare the all-too-common sin of its indie brethren: the relegation of the feminine to the role of mere catalyst in the masculine narrative.

In the final reckoning, "Death of a Man" is a film that defies easy categorization. It is a tempest, a whirlwind of thought and emotion that sweeps up all who dare to confront it. It is a riddle wrapped in an enigma, cloaked in the vestments of cinematic experimentation. To some, it may appear a masterwork of pseudointellectual self-indulgence, a film that revels in its own obscurity. To others, it may reveal itself as a profound meditation on the human condition, a stark portrayal of the eternal battle waged within the soul of man.

As I emerged from the cinema, the world around me seemed both brighter and more obscure, as if I had gazed too long into the sun and been rendered blind to all but its afterimage. "Death of a Man" is not merely a film; it is an experience, a journey into the heart of darkness that resides within us all. And like all journeys, its true meaning lies not in the destination, but in the path we take to reach it.

Social media

>In the wake of the attack on Israel, antisemitic rhetoric spiked across social media platforms, particularly on extremist favorites 4chan and Telegram. This includes a rise in the use of phrases that call for violence against Jews, Israelis and Zionists.

>Our data show extremists appear to be emboldened by the Hamas attack, and have increased their violent rhetoric, posting hate filled messages and calls for further aggression against Israel and its supporters. On October 6, 2023, the day before the attack, there were 59 Telegram messages from extremists threats and calls for violence against Jews, Israelis and Zionists. However, in the first 18 hours of October 7, 2023, this number surged to 347 Telegram messages, marking an alarming increase of approximately 488 percent.

Antisemitic theories

>On X, a popular antisemitic influencer who goes by Lucas Gage posted several antisemitic and anti-Zionist conspiratorial claims. In one post, he alleged that Israel does not deserve sympathy because it helped coordinate the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a common antisemitic conspiracy theory. In another post, Gage blamed "our Zionist Occupied Govt," an antisemitic reference to the U.S. government.

>Others believe that such a surprise attack by Hamas is unlikely or even impossible, citing Israel's extensive intelligence networks, and claiming that Israel knew about the attack ahead of time but chose not to act preemptively to justify the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians. White supremacist Nick Fuentes pushed this narrative on Telegram, writing that Israel's intelligence failure “is a little suspicious in light of how the Likud government will benefit politically from this crisis both domestically and internationally.”

>Antisemitic conspiracy theorist David Icke also discussed the attack on X, alleging that Netanyahu and Hamas are "owned by the Global Cult" and that the attacks are another step towards World War 3.
