In 1964, Campbell's promoted their canned soup as a sauce for pasta or rice. The red one is tomato soup over noodles.

If you have ever wondered why Gotham City's mental facility shares its name with H. P. Lovecraft's fictional New England town, it's because it was introduced as being in New England when it first appeared in 1974, specifically Arkham in '75, only moving to Gotham in '79.

MSN's automatic censoring of its partners' news articles for any hint of sex or swearing often produces ridiculous results, like this article that blacked out F. Scott Fitzgerald's initial.

@Archeoastronom The problem isn’t that family is important; the problem is the lack of any outside friendships or community.

@JasonColavito Interestingly my parents and grandparents lived in the "German Democratic Republic" and while they had not much money and were restricted by the politics of that time, family was very important. So I'm not sure if it is really capitalism that's the problem you know what I mean ?

An interesting read, but not a surprising one. Our society has systematically dismantled community for all but the wealthiest, and these are the fruits of that effort to turn citizens into consumers and interchangeable cogs in the capitalist machine.
Lisa Britton@LisaBritton

Interviews with 30 working class men without a college degree showed a pattern: family ties are often the only ties they have. Many of these men had no close friends, no community, no mentors, and no sense of purpose beyond supporting their families. Read more @FamStudies: ifstudies.org/blog/family-an…

In looking at the promotional materials for forthcoming books sent out this week, I saw that in January the book "Occulture" will explore how the occult has taken over American spirituality.

@thekibosch Imagine if we had a functioning government that could plan for totally foreseeable crises and had actual institutional mechanisms to remove officials unable to carry out their duties rather than simply wishing power-mad geezers could be shamed into doing the right thing.

@marcbel19406167 I didn't write it, but Bailey believed that Christ was a universal figure who manifested as a teacher in every culture, so in her mind, you could substitute any of these other figures and the prayer was therefore universal.

@ArbonTokay I didn't think the gold killed him. I just found it bizarre that he thought the gold had given him superpowers. It reminds me of the monoatomic gold nonsense ancient astronaut theorists were into earlier this century.

@JasonColavito Elemental gold is biologically inert, so it’s much likelier to have been something else that did him in. And he’s not even that hot. I mean, he would be hot for a dentist. But one expects better from a looksmaxer.

I wouldn't normally link to a tabloid, but apparently an American looksmaxxer who recently died in Thailand was injecting himself with liquid gold because he believed it gave him superpowers, opened new consciousness, and was being hidden by "authorities." dailystar.co.uk/news/world-new…

Ancient Greek men were so heroic, masculine, and iconic that they only wanted to have sex with other Greek dudes. How's that for your "Euro-supremacist roots of all Western civilization"?

Peachy Keenan@KeenanPeachy

The main struggle for Nolan and his producer wife is that they can't make the ancient Greeks too heroic, masculine, iconic because that would uphold the Euro-supremacist roots of all Western Civilization So you cast a woke manlet as the King. A 90 lb femme boy as his son. An African Helen A tiny mentally ill female as a Greek soldier Woke feminists in every scene The story becomes not the struggle of man over adversity but the heroic struggle of women to deal with pesky ass men

For instance, learning about the crazy pseudoscience RFK Jr. has foisted on the CDC and FDA tells us nothing about historical government science or about actual reality.

Nothing in the documents states that there was any effort to "lure" UFOs, as even Chris Sharp notes, but if that is what they tried to do a few months ago, it tells us very little because we know the government is now riddled through with UFO believers and conspiracy theorists.

@scholarhacker No, it's syncretism. Which is why Bailey claimed it was a universal invocation, not a Christian one. Syncretism isn't Satanism.

@JasonColavito The part that says: "He is that Great Being Whom the Christian calls the Christ; He is known also in the Orient as the Bodhisattva, and as the Lord Maitreya, and is the One looked for by the devout Mohammedan, under the name of the Imam Mahdi." That is not Christian Theology.

Yale researchers are shocked to discover that Caligula's reference to a medicinal plant actually referred to a medicinal plant and not random gibberish. This is a very low bar for scholarship. news.yale.edu/2025/07/09/was…

@JasonColavito And this is what they mean by "Christ". "If men look for the Christ Who left His disciples centuries ago, they will fail to recognise the Christ Who is in process of returning." Please note that this isn't "swapping" as you stated earlier.

@scholarhacker Yes, "Lucifer" was a semi-divine/angelic figure before Christianity. In Roman times, it was the name of Aurora's (Dawn's) son. The Bailey's undoubtedly conflated the Latin use of "Lucifer" for morning star with Near Eastern myths of the angel or god of the morning star.

@JasonColavito But look what the Lucis Trust says about the use of the word Lucifer. The Baileys didn't use it because, as a word, it appears in Latin hymns.

@scholarhacker Not that I can find. It is accredited as one of hundreds of organizations that has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, but it is not an official UN publisher, which is United Nations Publications and the UN iLibrary.
