Born on the Fourth of July

Calm Amidst the Storm

I have been relatively quiet this late election season, here on substack. I was energized early on until recently, less excited about another Trump presidency than fearful of another round of Clinton/Obama/Biden in the form of Kamala. Trump at least is the possibility of a course change; Kamala represents something like Nick Land’s accelerationism, if y…

It's Only a Matter of Time: Military Time

Thank you Stone Bryson for your updated piece on Daylight Savings Time. Your dedication to our sun’s natural influence on human circadian rhythms nudged me away from somehow making the history of the US military branches less dry for today’s topic. Upon reading your piece, I became curious about the history, intent, and methodology of the 24 hour clock known to man…

The Charlotte Pendragon Diaries by Charlotte Pendragon

Magic Moments: Episode 8

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man ... a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination…

On Structure (ver. 2)

Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind…

An imperfect car metaphor + a free download

For years, I lived with the feeling that something was fundamentally wrong with my health, like my body was running with its “check engine” light glowing, yet no one could tell me why. Appointment after appointment, provider after provider, I heard the same thing: "Nothing’s wrong." Or they’d focus solely on my weight, insisting that losing a few pounds…

Not All Men Hate Women

Geez. Where do I start ? Geez, how do I start ? I know where and how I’d like to finish. I certainly don’t want to lose people after a word, a line or a paragraph. If this comes off as political, it’s not really intended to be, although reference to the election needs to be mentioned. It’s all of the nonsensical childish crap that’s out there over the l…

The Lomez Challenge

I had no (and have no) interest in commenting specifically on any of the drama going on with certain big NormieCon outlets and their hiring practices. However, with Election Day looming and huge potential changes on the horizon for rightist organizations in terms of demand, exposure, etc. I have been thinking in more general terms about the structures…

The Return of The King

Yesterday I awoke at the dawn of the Trump Vergeltungreich and now, after a day and part of a night I’m still left pondering the full implications. In many ways it is what Tolkien called a eucatastrophe that sudden turn in a story where the hero dramatically avoids some probable doom. Everything was in place to permanently destroy the US as a country…
