  1. Long books are long… Weekly Recap 9/7/2026

    Two of the longest books in my occult collection are Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy and Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages, the first of which clocks in at just a mere 1024 pages.

    Now… Three Books of Occult Philosophy—for me at least—isn’t the type of book you just sit down and read cover to cover. It’s something you use as a reference book when necessary and just go through a particular section. Of course, since it’s three books, does it really count as one long book? Surely it does.

    And with The Secret Teachings of All Ages… I haven’t actually read it. I’ve listened to it as an audiobook. It’s 28 hours long, but I’ve made my way through the entire thing at least once.

    That counts, right?

    Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

    I hope you’re all laboring on this fine Labor Day.

    This past week, I’ve been practicing my bed surfing skills. Or maybe a better term would be bed skiing?

    No, no… for real.

    We got our new mattress delivered. Nobody told us that memory foam arrives rock hard and needs to be broken in over several weeks. To accelerate that process, I’ve been taking short walks on the bed—or sometimes pretending that I’m surfing or skiing.

    It’s having an effect! Or at the very least, I have convinced myself it’s having an effect. And now I perceive the mattress as slightly softer than it was a few days ago.

    After all my fun carving runes in stones, I decided to expand it to an entire set. I’m still working on ironing out some of the kinks, but we’ll see where it goes when I have some time.

    I managed to get a new episode of M3 out on schedule and a new writeup of an older episode. For your viewing pleasure, go watch!

    And my biggest accomplishment over this past week: my YouTube channel has now achieved partnership status. It’s been quite a long road to get here… and honestly I was about ready to give up. About a month ago, YouTube announced that the requirements to join would double in February (from 4000 annual watch hours to 8000), which put a rather obnoxious countdown timer in my head. I made a Facebook post a few weeks ago asking friends for help to reach that goal… and we’ve succeeded! So… thank you everyone!

    Over on The Occult Rejects, we streamed a fun conversation about FinalSpark, a strange company that is trying to turn neurons into computers. Crazy stuff!

    At some point I made vegetarian burrito bowls with spicy black beans and cilantro lime rice. Turned out pretty well.

    Selene and I have been watching a lot of terrible movies lately. I mentioned Backrooms a couple of weeks ago. Since then, we’ve also watched Jurassic World: Rebirth and The Whisper Man. Heck, last night we even watched (well, re-watched) Signs because we couldn’t remember that it was terrible. All awful movies. Any suggestions on what we should watch next?

    On Saturday, we stopped by the old Wellington Mall and hung out for a little bit. Craziest place. It’s like a 1970’s time capsule.

    Where else can you encounter strange rainbow horses?

    That’s all for now, my friends. Stay tuned for more soon!

  6. It's that time of the year in AoNZ when family members are split, friends lose friends, and all over the motu people can't believe other people didn't vote for the LITTLE PENGUIN / KORORĀ in the Bird Of The Year.

  8. "Demolition of the City to Sea Bridge was budgeted for $36 million in Council’s Long-term Plan, and instead our plan to refurbish the Bridge comes in at $15 million. This is a significant and valued part of the inner city, I’m pleased we can save the Bridge and save money from what was originally budgeted for demolition."

  12. Joo, on toissijaista, kun kolme ihmistä on murhattu, mutta toisin kuin keskimääräiselle suomalaiselle, tämä asia ei ole mulle uusi, vaan #YleMondo n kuuntelijana olen kuullut tästä jutusta jo yli vuoden.

    #BeefWellington on suomennettu #wellington-piirakaksi. Aivoihin sattuu!

    Missä todellisuudessa beef wellington on #piirakka, #KysynVaan?!?

    Eiköhän se lähinnä ole (kuorrutettu) lihamureke tmv.

  13. The Luxon coalition's deliberate policy of mass unemployment is having a drastic effect on Wellington. Even Quasi the big hand is leaving for Australia.
