View of Raglan Harbor from the Muru Bach. #Whāingaroa #Raglan
A sunlit view overlooking Raglan Harbour (Whāingaroa) with calm water reflecting the early evening light. Lush green trees and ferns frame the foreground, opening onto the wide inlet. In the distance, rolling hills and mountains sit under a layer of low cloud, softly illuminated by the bright sky. A bridge stretches across the water near the horizon, adding a small human element to the otherwise natural landscape. The overall scene feels peaceful and expansive.

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you, and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much…

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

That “something absolutely perfect about” is *complete consistency* with what we already knew.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Fury as Indonesia declares late authoritarian ruler Suharto a national hero
Fury as Indonesia declares late authoritarian ruler Suharto a national hero
Suharto presided over a period marked by rampant corruption, nepotism, censorship and allegations of mass human rights abuses Indonesia has awarded former authoritarian leader Suharto the title of national hero, in a move that has sparked accusations of historical revisionism in the world’s third-largest democracy. The award has deepened fears about attempts to whitewash Suharto’s rise and decades-long rule, a period marked by rampant corruption, censorship and accusations of mass human rights violations.

I enjoyed 3 terrific spooky season movies this past long weekend.
1. Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). Inchoate but barely suppresed white settler Victorian anxieties in Australia. Plot and soundtrack presage The Virgin Suicides, with clear affinities between the two films.
#PicnicAtHangingRock (1/3)
Poster art for Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). Tag line reads: "On St. Valentine's Day in 1900 a party of schoolgirls sets out to picnic at Hanging Rock. ... Some were never to return." Drawn art depicts the white private school girls in white dresses as they set off to explore Hanging Rock where they encounter unexplained mysteries and some disappear. Fair use: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=8185613 Although it is not technically canon in the original novel and film, I chose to "interpret" an underexplored and unrealized sexual tension between the two main male characters Michael Fitzhubert (who looks like Robert Irwin to me) and Albert Crundall.

I approve of this plan, also because I am a political anthropologist
nickjbrumfield.bsky.social Nick Brumfield @nickjbrumfield.bsky.social · Aug 7
If I were a pro-Dem billionaire one of the first things I'd fund is a two-year study employing 100s of political anthropologists to go to every corner of the US to develop the most comprehensive picture of local power structures in history and then use that to synthesize a 50-state strategy
nickjbrumfield.bsky.social Nick Brumfield @nickjbrumfield.bsky.social · Aug 7
I *have* a certain idea about what the Dems should maybe do in parts of West Virginia and Ohio based on a particular understanding of that area's history and current dynamics. I have no fucking clue how to go about winning Iowa. Stitching this local knowledge together in a national strategy is key.

It's like she's doing Pokemon Go but with Nazi war criminals.
JuCo with Sebastian Gorka after a tour of the West Wing and "discussing counter-terrorism and the Indo-Pacific" JuCo QTs "Excellent meeting with excellent friends", original post from the legitimately insane fascist white supremacist trogdolyte war criminal "Secretary of War Pete Hegseth" "welcom[ing] NZ Minister of Defence Collins to the Pentagon yesterday. We discussed pragmatic and tangible opportunities to enhance our cooperation" JuCo with Pam Bondi with whom she "had much to talk about including trans-national crime. It was a delightful meeting" indeed, for the 'transnational crime' is all fake and a cover for suspension of habeas corpus, crimes against humanity and an illegal invasion of Venezuela probably.
