Lady Gaga performs "Bad Romance" at Coachella on April 11, 2025, under a full pink moon
(TheMrKingAlex) Posted April 12, 2025: Lady Gaga performs her early hit song "Bad Romance" with crazy and possibly Satanic dance choreography live at Coachella for all the kids and easily influenced young people high on drugs and dying for attention as influencers, wannabees, and attn whrrs on the opening night of the Weekend 1 out in Indio, in the desert east of Los Angeles, not far from Orange County. What would mothers think of the explicit performance? Is that the way we raised you, to watch garbage like this and pay thousands to do it? You're grounded, Honey, and no more dressing us like a trans rainbow with your stupid friends.

Sami ("Laplander") life might not be possible without reindeer, just as Indians needed buffalo.
Who invented our European-American version of "Christmas"? Sami shamans in Siberia-Scandinavia-Arctic Circle (North Pole) -- with their reindeer obsession, big red coat and boots, long beard, stocking distribution (used as bags over the fireplace to dry psychoactive Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushrooms the shaman distributes to families living in yurts by entering through the "chimney" (open rooftop access where fire smoke is ventilated out by design. And even the reindeer get so high they "fly" by partaking of the magical mushrooms and the urine of the shaman or head reindeer, characteristically licking the snow for more of the molecule. Sounds unbelievable, but it's all true. The mushroom has a symbiotic relationship with pine trees, under which they grow, popping up as red and white wrapped "gifts." So we imitate the ritual by wrapping nice things in red and white, the color of peppermint canes, and placing them under the conifer pines tree we drag in for loved ones to find in the morning. It's like an Easter egg (mushroom vulva) hunt in winter snow with the helper Elves or mechanicals cybernauts speak of seeing and interacting with. It's starting to feel a lot like winter solstice time!
Ho ho ho, says the Shaman, gifts for everyone!
One of the least known ethnic groups of Europe. Who are they?
(Science) Aug. 18, 2024: Girl football? Forest spirits? Living in tents with advice of female shamans? Sรกpmi is the Sรกmi (\sammy\) people’s own name for their traditional territory. The Sรกmi people are the Indigenous people of the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula and large parts of the Kola Peninsula. They live in what some used to call "Lapland" in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Russia. There is no reliable information on the population of the Sรกmi people; they are, however, estimated to number between 50,000-100,000. The Sami – an ethnic group who are known as the last indigenous people of Europe (or Laplandia).
Let's go through the genome, DNA, and haplogroups of many of the various peoples of Northern Asia. The natives of Siberia are a very interesting group to learn about, not very well known by the general public.
Let's touch on the fact that Hungarians, Finns, and Estonians all speak languages that come from outside the borders of Europe. Thoughts on the Sami, Ainu, and the native peoples of Siberia? Comment

Santa is a psychedelic mushroom-eating shaman
(The Atlantic) Many historians think that the North American figure of "Santa Claus" can be traced back to a monk named Saint Nicholas of Myra, a bearded 4th-century Greek Christian with a penchant for charitable giving.
This St. Nicholas guy was presumably the basis for the Dutch Sinterklaas, patron saint of children, who donned a big, red cape and rode around on a white horse to visit children on the name day of Saint Nicholas, the sixth of December.
According to folklore, Sinterklaas carried a red book in which he recorded a child’s behavior over the past year as having been good or naughty. Sinterklaas is said to have been slowly transformed into modern-day Santa by 1700s Dutch immigrants in the New World.
“But maybe there’s another story worth telling this season — one about a psychedelic mushroom-eating shaman from the Arctic.”
That’s Matthew Salton, whose animated short film, Santa is a Psychedelic Mushroom, presents a different origin story entirely.
It’s a compelling narrative, backed by Harvard professors, anthropologists, and esteemed mycologists (studiers of mushrooms) alike, and it bears an uncanny resemblance to the modern tradition of Santa Claus.
"Santa is a Psychedelic Mushroom" was directed by Matthew Salton (matthewsalton.com) and produced by NYT Op-Docs. It is part of The Atlantic Selects, an online showcase of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.
