Spoiler for our upcoming @conspiracystuffshow episode on “How Tarot Decks (Might) Work”.
Long fascinated by the mechanics, I refused to kick it with passed-down ‘Magickal’ systems and created my own.
Best to own the means of production, yes?
This is the “Two of Lights”.

With deep gratitude for a life well-lived, I’m here to report that my infamous ride-or-die, the Emperor of Ponce, the Terror of Mice, my longtime cohost, Dr. Venkman, has passed away. Let’s give it up for the guy.
His transition was peaceful, as all such moments should be. I stayed until the end, and well past that.
While a controversial gentleman in many respects, he never saw a day in court for his various alleged war crimes. And — believe it or not — this was actually one of his favorite songs, even when he was a kitten.
Fare thee well, you Utter Legend. I hope Heaven has lots of catnip; I know you’ll make the joint Hell for mice. I am your biggest fan, and will miss you so.
May your memory be a blessing.
@nasaartemis gently waves to everyone. Call me optimistic, call me ambitious; call me a villain. I genuinely believe it is not too late to save this world.

The years wend onward, yet the homies remain. Get a crew of people who genuinely care about you, hang with them forever, help their dreams come true, and race them to the grave.

This is an exhibit from the Hiroshima Peace Museum. Please visit if you’ve the chance.
This is recovered clothing from the corpse of a child, walking to school when the bomb dropped. Parents never found the body of Hajime Fukuoka. 14 years old.
I reiterate this old parable often on @conspiracystuffshow : when elephants make war, it is the grass that suffers.
Before getting all riled up about war abroad, please remember there are innocent kids across the Middle East. These kids don’t want a war. They want snacks, and good grades, and a guarantee their parents will keep them safe. Many of them will never get the chance to vote. Instead they will be murdered in hospitals, schools, and public streets.
I hope everyone in the U.S. maintains and exercises the right to vote. As my pal @greg.j.stoker notes, everything happening abroad will inevitably occur here. This is the nature of what we call Forever War doctrine.
Make your voice heard above the conspiracies of monopolies and propaganda. Do not fall for slick phrases and social clips.
You are crucial.
You deserve a voice in this world.
Just like all those kids dying, right now.
Well, ol’ @starexplorer might laugh at this one, but we have something special on the way. Go on and check @wavlandmedia for updates.
Please also note the moustache/double chin in this photo is from a different thing, as I am cartoonishly method. All good comedy is for the future; stay tuned.

Long ago I asked my fam Jess and @acastenell to help me with a thumbnail/headshot for some sort of network. This is what we came up with. The execs loved it, and also said I could never use it in any official capacity.
I get it, yet this remains by far my favorite non-JFK headshot.
