My ego at work. In the 80s, the lyrics, "Riffs? Can you dig it?" got translated in my head to "Rich, can you dig it?" I never looked up the lyrics until now. Now it sounds more like "Riffs." Kind of. In case you're wondering, I do dig it. BTW, Alan Moore still knows the score.

I was looking up some historical weirdness, and an article mentioned a 60s alt paper called "Solid Muldoon." It took its name from a 1870s miner's paper in Ouray. Amazing cultural artifact. It's like a Psychedelic version of The Onion. #Denver #Colorado #hippies #AlternativeMedia #UndergroundPress

Stephen Colbert is moving to a new phase of his career. I was skeptical after he move to Late Night and proved me wrong. I never thought I’d be excited for a Tom Bombadil musical. I’m still a little skeptical.

Reminds me of the quote: Tell me, brave captain, why are the wicked so strong? / How do the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves the porch light on?" From Tom Waits’ 1980 song "Mr. Siegal". Cribbed from the movie, "Abandon Ship", aka "Seven Waves From Today."

This is a great recommendation. While many of her songs act as a preservation of what may have become lost history, they're as alive as yesterday. Her documentary series on PBS is well worth anyone's time.

When I was researching my book Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India, I learned of a 1000-year-old myth about Roman tech being used to build killer robots to guard the Buddha's remains in Pataliputra, and a Hungarian folklorist read my book & got excited about it, & she managed to dig up a🧵(1/3)

Romanised Pali manuscript of the Lokapannati

Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India
p. 60
Bhoota Vahana Yanta
Bhoota Vahana Yanta means “spirit movement machine.” The term is used
for several varieties of robot drone assassins and sword-wielding machine-
men mentioned in the Lokapannati, a Pali-language text written between
1000 and 1200 CE by Saddhammaghosa of Thaton, but concerning
events that took place much earlier, around 500 to 200 BCE.
According to the story, robots were first invented by engineers of the
early Roman Republic. These robots were used for commerce, in agriculture,
as a police force, and as executioners. The secret of how to build these
spirit-engines was fiercely protected. If any engineer dared to take the designs
out of the city, one of his own executioner robots would come after
him and kill him.
At that time, in Pataliputra (then in the kingdom of Magadha, now
Patna in the state of Bihar), there lived a young man who had heard of the
Romans’ magical androids. He became so determined to learn the secrets
of their manufacture and share them with the people of Magadha that he
arranged his own death. Then, on his deathbed, he vowed to be reincarnated
as a Roman.
This indeed took place. In his new life, the man grew up to join the
Roman guild of engineers. He even married the daughter of the Master
Robot-Maker, and had a son by her.
Once he learned the secrets of the Bhoota Vahana Yanta, the man resolved
to transfer the information back to Pataliputra. But he was well
aware that now, since he was a member of the guild, he would be killed as
soon as he left. So he cut a gash in his thigh, inserted the plans in his flesh,
and sewed the wound back up.

This is one of my favorite pieces he did, because it implied that there was far more than a monster movie going on. It created a mythological, occult element to the aliens. They shouldn't just be extraterrestrial beings or the result of experiments, they should've been something far worse.
