And, through all my occult reading I've noticed something. Ghosts, demons, cryptids, UFO's, all still variously reported. But the lowly Poltergeist, companion to the disaffected adolescent, has become virtually extinct.
I mean, I keep up on my Forteana and it definitely seems that since the rise of cell-phones and computers the phenomenon has disappeared.
I miss them. If you should know of any please by all means send them 'round.
Three trips to the grocery store...

Yesterday, coming upstairs after work, C*****, just out of a 6 week rehab program, is letting a suspicious girl out of his apartment.
A new face in town, street person, and I run into him again later, in front of the bank with the rest of the homeless, and I'm inclined to point out this isn't the way to discard bad habits, but who am I to say and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't listen.
***
Today, a modest payment on a large balance outstanding. Having done two days off with no food, cigarettes, vodka, and I have some priorities...
First is get me to the grocery store. Lots of groceries, a full bag. Pot-Stickers, Pasta, Gnocci, sauce, coffee, etc.
***
A word about the Pot Stickers. The brand - "O'Tasty" - patently absurd, I mean, I'd trust it a lot better if was something like "Golden Dragon" or "Wings" but - well, the proof is in the pot-sticker. And the other - well, they're made in the USA - not a fan at the moment, but - if you want a pot sticker this is what you have to buy. I heartily endorse this product, which, when taken as recommended (instructions #1, pan fry, steam, fry again until golden) are delicious and - not on the package but trust me you'll thank me later - a tablespoon of crunchy chilies with garlic or shallots, a dash of soy sauce and a couple diced Thai chilis for dipping.
***
The Second priority is to get more groceries. For this I head down to the Co-op and get some Bison meat and mushrooms and sausage and some sparkling water and other essentials. Another full bag of groceries.
***
Having dropped these off at home I'm off to the third priority; which is get more groceries, sparkling water, juice, capers, etc.
***
It's just 11:00 AM and my chores are done-ish, there's more, there's a few weeks of stinking laundry piled in the bedroom to be sorted and washed and so I charge the laundry card, then sit down to scroll the interwebs, read the news, make potstickers, etc.
***
The groceries, well, go a few days with Mother Hubbard's cupboards and you'll understand. Food. I don't mind the intermittent fasting, but it's become too much of a thing as of late, and I'm done with all this, my figure's trim as is, I don't need it any leaner.
There are still a multitude of bills outstanding, but there are as well a multitude of cheques outstanding, and until I'm paid they'll have to wait. No bills will be paid if I've starved to death...

2 Movies that I'm very much looking forward to.
The First - "MUSK" - the unapproved documentary by Bleeker Street.
It looks to be very good. And while I'm loathe to watch a documentary about someone I despise I think this might just give me more reason.

And the next one is "You Can See Everything", which is a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, whom, as you'll recall, is the disgraced CEO of tech-startup Theranos. And - to make it extra interesting Elizabeth Holmes invited Nathan Fielder into her house to make it!
Now - Nathan Fielder - I mean, remember him from "The Rehearsal" and other works or just read his bio, the man's a genius - and looking at the reviews of this - looking at Elizabeth Holmes through his eyes, well, this will be something...

I get the news every day, and I've a pretty good idea.
Yes, Trump is definitely pandering to his Christian Nationalist/Zionist/White Supremacist base, but that's - for the most part - just him talking out his ass. And you can't rely on the news, as it's generally filled with distractions, like "Gulf/Lake of America" or "Tariffs" or "I'd let Iran take out Los Angelos or San Diego, it would be a small price to pay..." - all these are distractions.
Somebody else is writing the script, Trump would never have been smart enough to do it himself, but - looking at all the hype AI has been generating for itself (and - most of isn't true and ALL of it's preventable), looking beyond the Iran War and ICE and daily distractions there's something - for lack of better wording - a lot more sinister afoot.
I'd explain it but that's a long article. Instead I'll do one better and share a video that makes the most sense of the world today and where we're heading...

He has some well thought out opinions, and - I doubt very much this is a conspiracy theory, this is the plan.
And now that you know...
