TrayLor Trash: TNT, Taylor 'n Travis marry


LIVE coverage from the AP (Ass' Press)
Look at me, everybody!!!
OMG! It's really happening! Nazi Princess TayTay Swift-Swift is marrying handsome, rugged, and rich Trav Kelce! America will never be the same! Take that, England, with your dumb royal weddings and bill balls. All patriotic Americans will yawn and be kept up late by illegal fireworks for the nuptials or some holiday tomorrow. Who can say?

All this banging scaring the pets, and Attention Whur's Tay and Trav (or as we've dubbed them "Tray and Lor" or "Trailer," trash Madison Square Garden and) suck all the oxygen out of the nation with their big, fat, Greek god wedding.

I win! I'm best! Everyone's jealous!
Not since Led Zeppelin trashed MSG to film their The Song Remains the Same live album has the venue seen so much recorded action.

Good luck and best wishes to the couple! Take some time off, Taylor! You should relax, not make music for a long time, spend your billions. Thanks for the $26 mil in write-off donations! The commoners will eat tonight and survive another day on this green earth. Thank you! Whatever your motive, it's good to give! Even a bad motive is somewhat counter-weighed by a good gift. Giving makes everyone richer, now the recipient, in time the giver.

What's her BEST song?

No, really, what's the poet trying to say?

Song dedication for the lovely bride!

What must ALL the girls think of Taylor?

Tara? Rainbow light of Yeshe Tsogal, Tibet

(Buddha's Wisdom)

Rainbow light body
Vajrayogini
Yeshe Tsogyal
(circa 757 or 777–817 CE) [1] is also known as "Victorious Ocean of Knowledge," "Knowledge Lake Empress" (Wylie ye shes mtsho rgyal, ཡེ་ཤེས་མཚོ་རྒྱལ) or by her Sanskrit name Jñānasāgarā "Knowledge Ocean," or by her clan name "Lady Kharchen" [2].

She attained enlightenment in her lifetime and is considered the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism. Yeshe Tsogyal is the highest woman in the Nyingma Vajrayana lineage.

Some sources say she, as princess of Kharchen, was either a co-wife or consort of Emperor Tri Songdetsen (Trisong Detsen) of Tibet [3] when she began studying Buddhism with Padmasambhava, who became her main karmamudrā consort.

  • Samantabhadri
    EMANATIONS
    : Yeshe Tsogyal is considered a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Tara. She is also considered an emanation of Prajnaparamita, Samantabhadrī, and Vajrayogini [16]. In the Life of Yeshe Tsogyel, Padmasambhava predicted that Yeshe Tsogyel would be reborn as Machig Labdrön; her consort Atsara Sale [2] would become Topabhadra, Machig’s husband; her assistant and another of Padmasambhava’s consorts, Tashi Khyidren, would be reborn as Machig’s only daughter, and so on. All of the important figures in Yeshe Tsogyel’s life were to be reborn in the life of Machig Labdron, including Padmasambhava himself, who would become Dampa Sangye [17].
  • VIDEO: Gender? Tara, the most powerful Goddess?
Padmasambhava
Padmasambhava is a founder-figure of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism and is considered a second "buddha" of our era [4] [which at least one other tradition, sticking to the original texts, would say is impossible, given that the historical Buddha often pointed out how rare the arising of a buddha is and how few there have ever been, with only one in any epoch.]

She is known to have revealed terma ("hidden treasure") with Padmasambhava and was also the main scribe for these terma. Later, Yeshe Tsogyal hid many of Padmasambhava's terma on her own, under the instructions of Padmasambhava for future generations [2].

Emperor Trisong Detsen
Born a princess
in the region of Kharchen, Tibet, in about 777 CE, she fled from arranged marriages until captured for Emperor Tri Songdetsen.

Yeshe Tsogyal lived for approximately 99 years and is a preeminent figure in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism and a role model for contemporary spiritual practitioners.

Although often referred to as being Padamasambhava's main "consort," Yeshe Tsogyal was primarily a spiritual master and teacher in her own right.

Prajnaparamita with Devotees
Based on her spiritual accomplishments, the Nyingma and Karma Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism recognize Yeshe Tsogyal as a female buddha.

The translators of Lady of the Lotus-Born, the namtar or spiritual biography that Yeshe Tsogyal left as a terma/hidden treasure, observe:

"As Dodrup Tenpai Nyima makes clear, beings able to reveal Termas must have at least the realization of the Perfection Stage practices. On the other hand, the one who originates the Treasures must have the supreme attainment of Buddhahood. Lady of the Lotus-Born is thus a testimony of Yeshe Tsogyal's enlightenment" [5]. More

Female troubles: Daughters of Fallen Angels


(Eternal Prophecy Films) The untold story of the Daughters of the "Fallen Angels" (the union producing hybrid human Titans/Nephilim goddesses, in the Dharmic religions known as beautiful and seductive Asuras, Devis, Apsaras...)

(Scripture Origins) Female Nephilim: Book of Enoch on Watchers' daughters
POEM: "The Female of the Species"
Rudyard Kipling (1911), a British writer in India
She stoops to conquer: Femme Fatale
When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,
He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can.
But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.
'Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Man's timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say,
For the Woman that God gave him isn't his to give away;
But when hunter meets with husbands, each confirms the other's tale --
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Man, a bear in most relations -- worm and savage otherwise, --
Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise.
Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact
To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.

Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,
To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.
Mirth obscene diverts his anger --- Doubt and Pity oft perplex
Him in dealing with an issue -- to the scandal of The Sex!

But the Woman that God gave him, every fiber of her frame
Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same,
And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.

She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity -- must not swerve for fact or jest.
These be purely male diversions -- not in these her honor dwells.
She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.

She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great
As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate.
And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unchained to claim
Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.

She is wedded to convictions -- in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies! --
He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,
Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.

Unprovoked and awful charges -- even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons -- even so the cobra bites,
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
And the victim writhes in anguish -- like the Jesuit with the squaw!

So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
To some God of Abstract Justice -- which no woman understands.

And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern -- shall enthrall but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.

The issue of Somalis in Minneapolis

Somali Muslim Congressperson, the Squad's Ilhan Omar
(Sammy Obeid) Minneapolis Somalis vs. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) | stand up
This Is What America Looks Like
(By Ilhan Omar) Ilhan Omar’s career is a collection of historic firsts: She is the first refugee, the first Somali American, and one of the first two Muslim women to serve in the United States Congress.

Against a xenophobic and divisive administration, she has risen to global fame as a powerful voice in the Democratic party’s new progressive chorus of congresswomen of color, The Squad.

This Is What America Looks Like is a tale of the aspirations, disappointments, successes, and surprises in the life of an immigrant and Muslim in the U.S. today.


This is Omar’s story told on her own terms: from a childhood in Mogadishu and four long years at a Kenyan refugee camp, to her arrival in America -- penniless and speaking only Somali -- and her triumphant election to the U.S. House of Representatives.

In the face of merciless slander and constant attacks from opponents in both parties, Rep. Omar continues to speak up for her beliefs. Courageous, hopeful and defiant, her memoir is marked by her irrepressible spirit, even in the darkest of times. More

Jewel heist at the Louvre, France


What we worship: Monas over mountains
(Channel 4 News) No one cared about the Mona Lisa until someone stole it in 1911. Then it became famous, was recovered, became subjected to the Mandela Effect, and grew in fame every year since, until an entire wall then room became dedicated to it. When we visited, the rooms were beautiful, even the halls were grand, but the mob in front of this one painting was ridiculous. At that time it could still be photographed, but taking a photo of the photographers seemed more appropriate.


Now it has a shield and guards, and goodness knows it's probably not the original, just a forgery with the real thing in a safe somewhere. The Louvre's security is behind the times, possibly because Pres. Macron's husband (and the couple's ridiculous fight with American Candace Owens about gender) and the riots in the streets are sucking all the oxygen and discretionary funds that should be applied to keeping the imperial booty and irreplaceable treasures in this pyramidal repository safe.

Will Buddhist monk be king of Thailand?


Thailand king’s disowned son returns as a Buddhist monk, sparking speculation about royal comeback
As a lawyer, I mean a monk...
(TOI Trending Desk) May 27, 2025: Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse (called Than Oun), King of Thailand Maha Vajiralongkorn's son [living as a lawyer in the USA], becomes a Theravada Buddhist monk, signaling a return to the politics of the royal family.

This event has sparked discussions about his possible return to the royal family. Once estranged, his monastic ordination on Vesak Day 2025 has garnered a great deal of attention. For it raises questions about succession.

Temporary ordination in Thailand is a rite of passage, not a lifelong commitment

The King and I (Yul Brynner, 1954)
Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse is one of the disowned sons of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X), has been ordained as a Theravada Buddhist monk in Bangkok, Thailand, marking a significant and symbolic return to public life.

His ordination took place on Vesak Day — a major Buddhist holiday celebrating the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the historical Buddha.

The event was widely shared on Than Oun’s official Instagram, drawing public attention and sparking speculation about his potential reintegration into royal circles.

Though once stripped of royal status, Vacharaesorn’s visible spiritual gesture has led many to question whether this could signal a path back to royal favor.

Egyptologists discover NEW pharaoh's tomb after 100 years
(Dig It With Raven) Premiered Feb. 23, 2025: Here's some BREAKING ARCHEOLOGY NEWS! Egyptologists have found the first new tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh since King Tut (the disabled boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun).

Bright Insight tells Joe Rogan facts about Egypt - Stonecutters know Egypt was not pounded out

You heard that right! It’s the first pharaoh’s tomb to have been found in over a century. This is absolutely wild. This channel doesn’t do much news much, but I HAD to share this.


Nubia (Sudan) has more pyramids than Egypt.
Any discovery of a pharaoh’s tomb is a big deal, but the last one was found so long ago, this is big news. It is the last undiscovered royal tomb of the 18th Egyptian dynasty, the husband of the legendary Queen Hatshepsut. That’s right. They’ve found King Thutmose II’s tomb.

Bodhidharma's Indian Kung Fu and Zen

The comradery at Shaolin Buddhist temple brings out solidarity and personal excellence.

Bodhidharma: The Mysterious Indian Prince Behind Kung-Fu and Zen
Springing tiger!! - Flying dragon!
(Odd Compass) Bodhidharma is a fascinating Indian historical figure in East Asia. His life is shrouded in mystery.

Much of it has to be pieced together from a fragmented mix of sources, some contemporary, some written many centuries after his death in 528 CE.

However, there is no denying that he played a significant part in creating what we now know as "kung fu" and that he propagated Zen Buddhism in the East. Let's dive into Bodhidharma's incredible legacy. Academic research conducted by Shafaque Rahman (shafaque10).
