As a connoisseur of "real" supernatural tales, I’ve been mourning the lack of fresh content—until I discovered on YouTube a '90s British docuseries, "Strange But True?" Ghosts, aliens, psychics...every spooky trope made for people who still think VHS is cutting-edge. It's supernatural bliss!

“The world is made of language. It shimmers and recasts itself and becomes the thing we say it is. The mind is the co-creator in the process of reality through acts of language. Language is true magic. All so-called primitive people know you sing the world into existence.” - Terence McKenna

“We cannot move into a reality we cannot describe. As long as we let the establishment set the language agenda, we will be imprisoned in the tiny, pedestrian world of consumerism and schlocky values that the establishment has prepared for us. Instead, create your own roadshow.” - Terence McKenna

Life is full of the unexpected and, often, the heartbreaking. It’s a cliché because it’s true: this world desperately needs more love, patience, and understanding. Chasing your dreams won’t heal the emptiness of living solely for others' recognition. Look within; all of humanity depends on it.

In a thrilling plot twist, Sen. Collins backs RFK Jr. for health secretary—because who better to lead public health than a man who treats vaccines like Voldemort? Stay tuned as she considers a pyromaniac for fire chief and a flat-earther for NASA. www.pressherald.com/2025/02/11/s...

The party that claims to protect children just put their health in the hands of a man who thinks vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they prevent. RFK Jr. at HHS is state-sanctioned malpractice. The next pandemic won’t need a virus, just his leadership. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

McConnell built the train, fueled it, and cheered as it barreled toward the wreck. Now, at the last second, he’s clutching his pearls and voting “no,” as if history will forget the blood on his hands. Repentance doesn’t work when the devil already cashed your checks. www.whas11.com/article/news...

The GOP’s economic plan is simple: distract, divide, and deflect. Can’t afford rent? Here’s a book ban. Grocery prices too high? Let’s talk about drag queens. Wages stagnating? Have you considered blaming immigrants? It’s a con, and we’re all paying the price. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Another day, another predator in Trump’s orbit. At this point, it’s less a political movement and more a traveling sex offender registry. The common denominator? A man at the top who sees assault as a perk of power—and attracts those who think the same. www.thereset.news/p/exclusive-...

The new head of our health system thinks medicine should be race-segregated based on junk science. This isn’t just dangerous—it’s eugenics in a lab coat. And now, thanks to the Senate, he gets to rewrite public health policy. What could possibly go wrong? www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

Three prosecutors walked away, but the real story is who gets to stay—and what they’re now willing to overlook. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

When the invader and a former president get to define ‘peace’ without the invaded, it's not a negotiation—it's an auction. And Ukraine is the item on the block. www.politico.eu/article/nato...

Erasing trans people from history is a strategy. The fewer names and stories they acknowledge, the easier it is to deny rights, roll back protections, and pretend an entire community was never part of the fight for justice. This is about controlling the future. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Turns out, wrecking consumer protections requires more than just a signature—it takes a bankruptcy-level commitment. thehill.com/business/514...

Nothing says "land of the free" like frantically scrubbing history and diversity before the Fox News entourage rolls in. Maybe next time, just hand out blindfolds at the door—makes it easier to march backward without noticing the cliff. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

The Defense Intelligence Agency just redefined "intelligence": if the truth makes you uncomfortable, simply erase it and call it history. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Imagine traveling to Germany just to get lectured on downplaying Nazis. Vance really outdid himself. When even Germany thinks your party’s revisionism is a problem, you’ve taken a very wrong turn. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

They’re not just purging DEI; they’re laying the groundwork for a government that looks like a "whites only" country club (is that redundant?). It's apartheid with a fresh coat of paint. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

American extremism as an export: JD Vance picks a fight with the UK over abortion rights is peak irony. Preaching "freedom" while trying to control women’s bodies across an ocean. Pitiful toad. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

“You don’t replace rainforests with pastures. You don’t censor books. You don’t lean on people who make gender choices different from yours. The purpose of being human is to complexify reality even more. To hand on a more diverse, complicated, multiphasic universe to our children.” - Terence McKenna

Francoise Hardy often pops up on my playlist, adding that perfect blend of grace and introspection. Her voice is effortlessly captivating—soft, elegant, and imbued with a quiet depth that lingers like an unspoken thought. Give me Francoise Hardy afterworld So I can swoon eternally

I've been thinking, now that Lynch is gone, who'll tie up all the loose ends?!
