repressive regimes know what they are doing in terms of repression/oppression

generally they are not accidental in what they do


a monotheistic quote by deepak chopra

meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet, but a way of entering the quiet that is already there

my reply

he’s not right, meditation is an illusion of contact with infinity, a mimic decoy, a toxic meta on the perverse tableaux of religion

That’s about right

my reply

there you are, enlightenment is being able to see the absurd side of what we do, the "masterclass" non-one wants to attend


the number of women who deliberately eat iron poor diets is unbelievable, liver, kidneys and other offal are a pariah in their eyes, you can’t reason with them


self-awareness and awareness of the world

neither is sufficient

they have a complementary necessity


talking with me you must be aware that some people find what i say quite contentious, it mightn’t seem that way to you because you are somewhat of a similar mindset, but over the years and in different contexts i have had quite a bit of trouble and try to anticipate minefields


family is not necessarily a chummy club, this is the real world, all you can do is observe

My own First Folio. And second, and third, and...

The mood of the time quite understandably is to de-clutter rather than to accumulate. I grok where folks are coming from when they prefer to read any content in mass market paperback then trade it in or pass it on. Me, I still like to fondle and sniff my books as well as read them, and I like to see them on my shelves afterwards. I don't have much of a social life, if that makes any difference mitigating my excess and affectation.

Anyone else here enjoy books as objects, even comfy furniture, in this way? Besides Modern Library editions with dust covers, my very favorite physical books are Folio Society editions with the terrific maps, lavish illustrations, and top quality covers, paper and bindings. My First Folio was Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience (1992) with Blake's own color engravings rendered cross-page from each poem. After that, I've amassed Folio editions as follows, mostly bought new, in no particular order:

Brave New World, Aldous Huxley (1971); The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Muriel Spark (1998); Under Milk Wood, Dylan Thomas (1972); The Victorians, A.N. Wilson (2008); Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe (1972); A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain, Defoe (2006); Perfume, Patrick Suskind (2008); The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco (2001); The Leopard, Giuseppe di Lampedusa (1988); The Gulag Archipelago Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, abridged (2005); A Journal of the Terror, Abbe de Firmont (1955); The Folio Book of Days (2002); The Life of Muhammad Ibn Ishaq (2003); *The Assassins, Bernard Lewis (2005); A Short History of Time, Leofranc Holford-Stevens (2007); A is for Ox: A Short History of the Alphabet, Lyn Davies (2006); The Rubiyat of Omar Khayyam (1994); The Aztecs, Nigel Davies (2000)

We, Yevgeny Zamyatin (2018); Dune, Frank Herbert (2015); The Good Soldier, Ford Madox Ford (2008); To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee (1996); Moby-Dick, Herman Melville (1974); Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway (1986); The Devil's Dictionary, Ambrose Bierce (2003); The Complete Nonsense of Edward Lear (1996); Cautionary Tales, Hillaire Belloc (1996); Folk Tales of the British Isles (1985); Civilization, Kenneth Clark (1999); Leonardo da Vinci, Clark (2005); Michelangelo, Howard Hibbard (2007); Wonders of the World, Simon Goldhill et al (2006); Folio Society Book of the 100 Greatest Paintings (2001); *Folio Society Book of the 100 Greatest Port

My First-Time Reviews of Every Shakespeare Play (First Folio)

During November-December, I decided to read and acquaint myself with every Shakespeare play to gain better appreciation. Before this I was only exposed to Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and half of Hamlet due to high school. The edition I read was a two-volume collection by Nelson Doubleday around 1970, so I did not get to Edward III. Each review was made on the day of finishing a play, ending today (Dec. 28) so they are as fresh in my mind as can be. These reviews were made for friends also, so they're pretty much comical, but the actual ratings are closest to my thoughts.

Lastly, what were my ratings based off of? First impressions and general enjoyment. I generally like things, so an 8/10 means I liked it! I did my best to understand each play and also listened to stage/radio plays as I read, so a rating could be influenced by a particularly good or bad performance. I do not know the general impressions of each play except for the big epic tragedies. But without further ado:

Reviewing every Shakespeare playing Day 1: Titus Andronicus - Rome is angry and horny and everyone there is a bitch. 6.5/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 2: Henry VI, Part I - The king is dead, the Duke of Somerset needs to masturbate, Joan of Arc summons demons. 8/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 3: Love's Labour's Lost - A Spaniard overacts, quick wordplay from the 1600s is hard to understand. 7/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 4: The Comedy of Errors - A Tale of Two Cities but 90% shorter and everyone lives in the end. 9/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 5: The Two Gentleman of Verona - Silvia takes no shit, Proteus wishes he was Romeo, Team Julia 4 Life. 8.5/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 6: A Midsummer Night's Dream - Faeries have always been cool, Athenians really do just be killin women, Wall is best boy. 8/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 7: Henry VI, Part 2 - I'm sorry for what I said about the Duke of Somerset. He still needs to masturbate but not as much as everyone else. Really excited for Return of the Jedi. 8/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 8: Henry VI, Part 3 - The Jedi did not return. The only hope for Edward's death is now a misshapen Dick. 7/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 9: King Richard III - The War of the Roses comes to bloody end, and only one character from King Henry VI Part 1 lives to see it through. 10/10.

Reviewing every Shakespeare play Day 10: *

Thoughts on Folio Investments/Folio First transferring account to Interactive Brokers

I got an email this morning that Folio First will be closing down their platform to self-directed investors. They're going to transfer portfolios to Interactive Brokers. I've never used that platform and I'm not familiar with it. I only used Folio First when LOYAL3 got out of the business and barely used the new platform. I've been using Robinhood since that became an option. I wanted to get some thoughts/opinions on what to do in this situation.
