>I started getting silver, white, and grey hairs in my very late teens and early twenties. Told it to go away. Over about 1 or 2 years it did.

Sounds like witchcraft to me… 🤔

Maybe it will work for me too? Or maybe it is too late now. It’d be nice to wait another decade or two before going grey tbqh.

>My hands turned into old people hands somehow in the blink of an eye though.

← There could be a way to fix that. Just listened to a two-part episode of the Astonishing Legends podcast about Elizabeth Báthory.

<One enduring legend is that Erzsébet had slapped a servant girl one day, got blood on her hand, and after washing it off found that it made her skin look younger.

>Poor Gahoole, wonder what he's been up to. Never visited his site. He posted a fairly nice video a while back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ9BjNK_MiI

He’s a good guy, but his laissez-faire approach to moderations emboldens low-effort shitposters to go nuts. Serious posts/threads were few and far between, and he is way too hung up on femanons finding the place. Like that is gonna happen.

>Catherine Zeta-Jones/Salma Hayek

I just watched Andy Sidaris’ Picasso Trigger (1988), and one of the new faces in that is Roberta Vasquez, who plays an agent nicknamed Pantera. She puts both Zeta-Jones & Hayek to shame. God, what a body! And the outfits she wears looks painted on. Thankfully it looks like she became a regular in Sidaris’s films.

>Will check it out.

Faark, 15 minutes in. How many times can they repeat themselves and still not have started anything. One voice quite pleasing, one voice just awful. Like that horrid little rat man in Will and Grace. Will press on.

>>2880

Now random ads and they still haven't started anything beyond her fucking name and family?

>>2908

>Is there any difference really? They either believe it, or they are promoting others to believe it despite what they actually think. Trash in any case. Actually, worse in the second case as that involves a moral choice.

It is just so tiresome to find any interesting and worthwhile podcasts where the hosts aren’t either overt leftists or cowards these days. Can probably count the good ones on one hand.

>I have to sacrifice virgins? Pftt, too much work.

Only if you want to speed things up. If it is too much of a hassle, you’ll have to wait in a line for your wicked deed to be carried out.

Been listening to a lot of Death In June as of late, and the words on the track Hidden Among the Leaves comes from Yukio Mishima. Had no idea who he was, but he is easily one of the most interesting figures I have ever read about. Really want to read some of his books, but who knows how good the translations are?

I remember this being the talk of the town when it came out but never watched the video clip until now. Poor boy kek.

Listened to Myrkur’s entire discography, and read some interviews she’s done; her blend of black metal and folk music with Norse mythology inspirations is unique and beautiful to listen to. Muse material tbh.

Speaking of how Annie is doing… I was looking for the audiobook The Tapes of Agent Cooper, performed by Kyle MacLachlan, when I found out there is a whole compilation two compilations of Twin Peaks witch house music: https://witch-house.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=357

http://www.synthema.ru/37097-va-a-witch-house-okkvlt-guide-to-twin-peaks-2.html

The first volume is on RuTracker: https://rutracker(dot)org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3544602

>>3446

Had heard two of the tracks on volume one before, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find out there was an entire compilation album with Twin Peaks style Witch House music.

Turns out the guys who released these albums release stuff on VHS and Betamax(!) in deluxe limited editions. What a time to be alive!

Thanks for the links. These tracks are great to have on in the background.

Merry Christmas anons. Hope for good tidings for our final week in what has been one motherfucker of a year.

>>3459

Thank you random shitposter. Very festive.

Merry Christmas.

>>3460

I missed the links before they were deleted. Too busy stuffing face with Christmas food for days. What were they?

>>3470

Only watched the first one, and I’m not the one who deleted them. The one I saw was some guy wearing a santa hat singing Christmas songs with their banned “original” lyrics and doing some sketch comedy bits (getting a phone call from a clearly demented Biden rambling nonsense, and getting a visit by Kermit the Frog). Mostly wholesome, lighthearted Christmas shenangians.

Yeeehaw

Posting 'til the end.

Found Scottish musician/producer SOPHIE when I was browsing the Wiki list of recent deaths.

<“True to her spirituality she had climbed up to watch the full moon and accidentally slipped and fell. She will always be here with us.”

SOPHIE Has Died | Pitchfork: https://archive.vn/aHNnw / https://web.archive.org/web/20210130115709/https://pitchfork.com/news/sophie-has-died/

F

According to the Wiki article a number of outlets and Grimes accused SOPHIE (amongst others) of “female appropriation” for using female names as their artist name. Maybe SOPHIE got a free pass after coming out as trans?

Loving the music; sort of a mix of Crystal Castles/Alice Glass and Poppy and Grimes.

A lot of stuff on the official YT channel, including the latest album and multiple remixes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu_9_zRVfKee4v7xXXcv2ag

The track name Ponyboy made me think of Biden’s “lying dog-faced pony soldier” comment.

>>3577

>Sure.

Not buying it? 🤔 Trannies do tend to have a rather higher than average suicide rate, and suicides are up because of the lockdowns/pandemic too (at least in Japan).

If it was accidental, it does sound like a rather poetic, beautiful way to go, climbing up to see the full moon and then falling.

>Strange. Who cares what someone names themselves? Especially an artist name.

Guessing all the artists mentioned are white men. Then everything you do becomes some kind of “appropriation” or “-ism”. Sounds like SOPHIE found a loophole by using the trans defence. Only TERFs will attack you after that. God, what a bizarre shitshow we’re living thru; only thing we can do is sit back and let the trannies and the TERFs fight it out, maybe stoke the fires a little?

<Early in Sophie’s career, Sophie’s real-life identity was the subject of press speculation. Prior to coming out as a trans woman, some commentators accused Sophie of “feminine appropriation”, on the assumption that Sophie was a man using a female stage name.[60][61][62] In a 2013 Pitchfork e-mail interview, when asked about the choice of Sophie as a stage name, Sophie responded: “It tastes good and it’s like moisturizer.”[17]

>A Boy Named Sue

Very appropriate. In the current year he’d be raked over the coals on Twitter for this song.

>Anyone unwilling to deny reality is considered a TERF today.

Robert Anton Wilson said that “reality is what you can get away with believing. If you can’t get away with it, it ain’t real.” (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=yY5r_zox-a8). If enough weirdos consider something real and true, and enough journalists and politicians push something, it will end up being true; it will end up in books, documentaries, on Wikipedia. And they are pushing a whole lot of whacky ideas as true now, and in the minds of many bluepilled people it has already become reality.

Pretty sure I saw Blaire being mentioned in the news lately. Some more slander I think. As if being accused of being a TERF wasn’t bad enough, I think there was something about being right-wing. I thought you could get away with a lot more as a transsexual, but it seems you have to tout the party line and be a good leftist no matter what.

Here are two working archives of the Vice article that 404’d: https://archive.vn/DueFZ / https://web.archive.org/web/20201127054956/https://www.vice.com/en/article/8q3nq4/please-dont-let-2014-be-the-year-that-female-djs-are-a-novelty

>Nothing is stopping women from being DJs. Stopping men from the job doesn't make women suddenly better or more likeable DJs. Using a performer's name to attack their success is asinine.

Read a very harsh essay called “Silly Novels by Lady Novelists” by George Eliot a while back: https://archive.vn/xj20y

George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans (1819–1880): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Eliot

Perhaps she chose a male pen name to avoid association with women who wrote “silly novels”? Whatever the reason is/was, it is hard to see why anyone would give a fuck about what name an artist or author uses.

Looks like Marilyn Manson is the latest to get #MeToo’d with abuse allegations. And that comes on top of the crime of “feminine appropriation”.

>The LOVE track is terrible.

Really? That bad? I love that harsh electronic noise mixed with soft, often distorted vocals; I think it works well together. Reminds me a lot of Crystal Castles.

>IKR. I am revisiting Bones again. Starting from S1. Would never be created today. Identifying sex and race by bone, oh no no no.

There was a memorable scene in Miss Sherlock where she (Sherlock) commented on a boy playing with a girl’s toy (turned out it belonged to his dead sister, and was relevant to the case). Guess they haven’t declines as much in Japan as they have in the West yet.

Only caught bits and pieces of Bones when it was on TV. Only thing I know is that David Boreanaz is in it (ex-army?), and Zooey Deschanel (nope, wrong sister) Emily Deschanel, and that it is sorta like CSI?

You just know they will either remove these old shows and films from streaming services, and then remake them. A blue checkmark on Twitter would find something problematic with just about any TV show made before the current year.

>>3585

>reality is what you can get away with believing. If you can’t get away with it, it ain’t real.

Precisely.

>If enough weirdos consider something real and true, and enough journalists and politicians push something, it will end up being true

It may end up being believed. That has no bearing on whether or not it is true. More so on the extent of one's mental health/illness.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_tunnel

<One simply elects, consciously, whether or not to share the other's reality tunnel.

True. If one's reality tunnel includes an understanding of gravity or what we ascribe to it at least, and another's doesn't, who leaves their house through the front door? And who leaves their house through the 2nd story window? And who is likelier to survive the experience day to day?

>Reality-Tunnel: How Beliefs And Expectations Create What You Experience In Life

<You can see only what your reality-tunnel allows you to see!

Lol, I think there is a conflation between what is, and what is identified in much of these things. A = A, Not A = Not A. What we give meaning to as shapes, in this case the lovers and the dolphins does not affect the configuration of the image, it does not change the placement of pixels in either case. Those are what they are no matter the observer. Quantum physics on the other hand, yeesh. But then again, we live and experience our everyday lives without much consideration for the quantum state of things.

<just that our access to it is mediated through our senses, experience, conditioning, old beliefs, and other non-objective factors

Sure. And then there is willful ignorance and magical thinking. That way lies the destruction of civilisation.

>Here are two working archives of the Vice article that 404’d

Cheers.

<When pressed about how he would frame this event, he went onto say that although he would invest personal time in the organisation of it, "the thing is I can't pay them as much [as male DJs]. See when it's the festival, when you're doing 60-70,000 people, you can pay people more money.

Reasonable.

<It's not just the painfully apparent sexism in this that pinches at me, it's the defeatism too; that booking female DJs is such a poor commercial investment for a major promoter, in an exploding, near-billion dollar industry, that Richards would dock wages and scale back on events in order to "make it work". Richards judges not on ability alone, but on being female as a marketing tool.

What a load of tosh. I imagine the author has never had to manage money.

<dock wages and scale back on events

Supply and demand. If only money grew on trees…Does the author think that the organiser is keeping extra money from the female DJs? And purposely making their crowds smaller? The author is ignorant.

>Not enough females!

>ok we'll make a female DJ only event

>You're using females as a marketing tool!

<Using the feminine to create an air of mystique not only panders to the misogynistic stereotype of the woman as the voiceless and unseen figure, but in only engaging with the female or feminine on a surface level, it could go as far as to actively undermine women who rightly seek to just put in the work, and not have gender treated as a selling point.

Oh fuck off. Does the author say the same about drag queens? Or is that as yet a protected class?

<"I found it frustrating", he confesses. "Not because I wasn't getting the attention because I was male, but because I thought the concept of a magazine wanting to run a piece on female producers was weird. As though being female was some kind of handicap for them, and that if they were good at what they do then it should be, extra celebrated?"

Yep.

<I thought about changing it altogether, or at least doing variations on it, but then I thought that it might be more effective to use this weird situation I've found myself in in order to speak out about the issues that it's brought up, and try and frame it in a more positive way."

Imagine having to perform these gymnastics to avoid being eaten alive so that you can continue to have a career.

>Read a very harsh essay called “Silly Novels by Lady Novelists” by George Eliot a while back

Thanks for the link. Will get around to reading it eventually.

>Perhaps she chose a male pen name to avoid association with women who wrote “silly novels”?

Yes, quite probably. Avoid stigma. Have her work taken on its merits rather than through the lens of being a female author.

>Looks like Marilyn Manson is the latest to get #MeToo’d with abuse allegations.

He always rubbed me the wrong way and struck me as a creep.

>Really? That bad? I love that harsh electronic noise mixed with soft, often distorted vocals;

The contrast is too much for me on that one. Just puts me on edge.

>Guess they haven’t declines as much in Japan as they have in the West yet.

It's quite terrible in the West now. Almost full circle. With traditional gender roles being used as evidence for being born in the wrong body. Say goodbye to tom boys :(

>Only thing I know is that David Boreanaz is in it (ex-army?), and Zooey Deschanel (nope, wrong sister) Emily Deschanel, and that it is sorta like CSI?

YES. I hated the character of Angel and Boreanaz is compelling enough in Bones that I now see him as the character of Booth. Yes like CSI but I don't know, there's something about it that got me into it. Better dialogue perhaps. Or maybe because it was based on the books of an actual forensic anthropologist. It's quirky and quite addictive. I only ever saw it years ago now and then so it's fun to watch it from the start. Emily Deschanel is kind of autistic in it so maybe that's why it's so entertaining.

I forgot I cut this the other day. How apropos!

>>3587

>It may end up being believed. That has no bearing on whether or not it is true.

Sure, it doesn’t rule out objective truth, but when you have the vast, mast majority of journalist and people in the media present a narrative, it might end up being the accepted truth. Wikipedia uses these kind of sources; most people only Google something and end up at the Wiki article. If only a fraction of people see through the bullshit, it has become truth to most people.

>Quantum physics on the other hand, yeesh. But then again, we live and experience our everyday lives without much consideration for the quantum state of things.

“Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality. The scientists from [Benjamin] Franklin to [Samuel] Morse were clear thinkers and did not produce erroneous theories. The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane. Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inescapable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them.”

— Nikola Tesla

>What a load of tosh.

That is modern-day journalists for you. These individuals have no idea how the real world outside their big city work.

>Oh fuck off. Does the author say the same about drag queens? Or is that as yet a protected class?

Yes. Saw YT had two hideous-looking drag queens be the hosts of some YT Award for 2020. Drag queens are probably more likely to get the axe first, since they are not even pretending it is anything other than sexualization and fetishism of the feminine driving them.

>Imagine having to perform these gymnastics to avoid being eaten alive so that you can continue to have a career.

Sounds like business as usual in the entertainment business these days. You make one wrong comment in an interview and the blue checkmarks will be demanding your removal.

>Have her work taken on its merits rather than through the lens of being a female author.

What about unisex/neutral pen names, or artist names? If you know what will happen these days, that could be the way to go. Or just use initials and surname.

>He always rubbed me the wrong way and struck me as a creep.

That was part of his image. For the ’90s and early ’00s that was considered cool and edgy. Now it is pretty vanilla stuff. But I’m guessing a lot of people still have that image of him in their minds now, making it easier to believe any claims made against him. Everything from sexual abuse to making his Jewish GF help him collect Nazi memorabilia. It just seems like another smearjob to get the guy cancelled. They pushed blame on him for the Columbine massacre back in the day too; because the shooters listened to him, and because of his image.

>Say goodbye to tom boys :(

Never thought about it that way before. You are right. Tomboys are gonna end up being an endangered species now.

>The contrast is too much for me on that one. Just puts me on edge.

Then this fitting hymn might be more your thing.

>Bones

NCIS had that qt Goth chick with the ponytails, and CSI has the memes (CSI: Miami in particular). never could get into NCIS, but I watched a lot of CSI back in the day. With things being what they are I doubt I can get into a current year show; maybe Bones is worth a try?

>Emily Deschanel is kind of autistic in it so maybe that's why it's so entertaining.

Seems like that is the new character trait now. Sherlock and The Big Bang Theory, and even Miss Sherlock, you have this weird, yet adorable autistic character who tells it like it is (leading to awkward situations), and needing a tard wrangler partner to reel them in at times. In The Last Days on Mars (2013) the best character (Kim) was also this straight-talking science-focused tomboy. Really enjoyed that one, quite underrated for a science fiction horror film IMHO. (((Romola Garai))) who made that awful Amulet film last year is in it though, and as the romantic interest no less. Kim all the way for me.

>>3589

Get the autistism here; she seems awfully naïve, but I suppose that is fitting if her character has only been conserned with science and university life and not how courts work.

>>3585

Remember when his gun cross set betrayed him? That was great.

>>3598

>When did you join #RoseArmy?

Always liked Rose. She is completely nuts and marches to the beat of her own drum.

wew! Just found this all-female Japanese Lovecraft-themed synth/metal band called NECRONOMIDOL and the first track on their brand new album is called TUPILAQ

https://necronomidol.bandcamp.com/album/v-mjelseriter-2

If they had named a song after Lovecraft’s cat I would have fallen out of my chair
