Short Attn Span Theater: Bookless Future

(@CatherineEdwards007) 1970s movie predicted end of books, ChatGPT, and AI psychosis

Rollerball (1975 film)
Rollerball
is a 1975 American [6] dystopian science-fiction sports film directed and produced by Norman Jewison [7], starring James Caan. The screenplay, written by William Harrison [8], adapted his own short story "Roller Ball Murder" [1], which had first appeared in the September 1973 issue of Esquire magazine [9]. Set in a "not too distant" future world ruled by a corporatocracy, the predictive film centers on the titular sport — an often-brutal spectacle used to placate the populace. Jonathan E. (played by Caan), the sport's top player, finds himself at odds with the ruling powers when his popularity threatens to hurt their grip on power. It co-stars John Houseman, Maud Adams, John Beck, Moses Gunn, and Ralph Richardson. More

Summer ends: Just Like Heaven (8/22)

Just Like Heaven 2026 PLAYLIST

Stereotypical Southern California summer
When does summer really begin? It's not an astronomical question, as the people into genes insist gender is as easy to assign as reading x's and y's. It is easy if we make it that easy, but it is not so easy when we do not all agree to that as the objective measure.

What is "social summer"?

Mandatory: All Americans must visit a beach.
There's a kind of social summer, which runs between Memorial Day and Labor Day, just an approximation. The seasons do not always cooperate even in parts of the US where four distinct seasons make themselves obvious. There is "Indian summer," which is just a way of saying a long hot spell after official calendrical summer should have ended.

Another example of social summer is the one set by the local school district: When school ends, that's summer. Just ask Alice Cooper! When school begins again, that resumption is the end, even if the weather is still great and drives to the beach are worth the traffic.

"Summer" = School's out!

There did not used to be a "universal time" but rather many different times depending on the place. They were not simultaneous but more dependent on the sun circling (not revolving) overhead chased by the moon. Those were Tartarian (Tartary) times, and that's all been erased now. A universal measure imposes a definition that does not make sense for everybody on the ground.

Another social summer measure is determined by the concert calendar. The end comes to Pasadena, Los Angeles with the Just Like Heaven Festival this Saturday (Aug. 22, 2026).

New weekend, same party

(justlikeheavenfest.com)
New for 2026: Updated clubhouse amenities, enhanced VIP experiences, plus new shade sails, cooling misters, expanded shaded seating, and additional water refill stations throughout the festival grounds, giving concertgoers even more ways to stay cool and recharge between musical sets. For even more convenience, spend the day in VIP for a lot more money. Spend the day dancing in the expansive VIP viewing areas and lounging in shaded spaces between acts, all while enjoying exclusive food and drink options and air-conditioned restrooms.

Will there be enough cops to stop trouble?
You will respect my authority...or else.
"Defund the police" was a deception to provoke public outrage. Congress funds new secret police forces and pays them much more now. If police officers want to scam the system, overseers look the other way. Let's make THE PURGE legal for a little while, and then we can use the predictable mayhem and disorder as a pretext to implement some Orwellian policies for "public safety" and a smiley face police state.

Who created God? Who is "God"?

Christians: These other religions are false


Why Christians say these 10 religions are false

Is this fool's gold? It looks so shiny and pure.
For millions of faithful followers calling themselves "true Christians," truth isn’t a spectrum but a line drawn by scripture, and these ten belief systems cross it in ways they say matter eternally. [Should other religions be banned when Trump is installed as True Leader before Christmas 2026?]

Religion is often a hot topic at dinner tables across the country, especially when beliefs clash over who holds the ultimate truth about life and the afterlife.

Hey, you Goddamned sinners, send me $$!
For many Christians, their Bible serves as the final rulebook, the final truth, and any belief or faith that deviates in the slightest from [their translation and interpretation of] its core teachings is frequently viewed as missing the mark ("sinful").

This perspective stems from a deep belief and conviction that spiritual truth is not subjective but a narrow path defined by specific scriptures, some of which are apocryphal or not really found written anywhere, like the details of the "Rapture" to come.

While modern human society often encourages a flexible approach to spirituality, orthodox Christianity draws hard lines in stone regarding the nature of God and what counts as "salvation." Everyone else is wrong.

This often leads to strong disagreements over the validity of other faith systems (and often bigger fights within a single system, sect, or Christian denomination, some of which have no right to even call themselves "Christian"), from ancient traditions to newer spiritual movements.

Here is a look at ten belief systems that Christians often reject, along with the theological reasons they push back against them....
  1. Mormons and Latter-Day Saints
  2. Islam and the Prophet Mohammed [PBUH]
  3. Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower
  4. Scientology and Thetans [but genocidal Ziontology is okay]
  5. Hinduism and the many gods [here's looking at you, Usha]
  6. Buddhism and the Path to Nirvana
  7. Wicca and Modern Paganism
  8. New Age Spirituality
  9. Unitarian Universalism
  10. Atheism and Secular Humanism.

Coming in at Number 6, Buddhism and the Path to Nirvana: While Christians often respect the ethical discipline of Buddhism, they reject its central non-theistic stance (which many take as atheistic).

Buddhism does not acknowledge an ultimate Creator God (like Maha Brahma, the "Great Supremo" who imagines himself the Creator of all things), which is the very foundation of the Christian worldview
  • [with their Demiurge Yaldabaoth the vengeful Judge Yahweh/Jehovah of the Old Testament, even if Jesus spoke out against this impostor in the name of the True God of Light that stands behind everything, a kind of Brahman figure behind the illusion of Maya, if one only took Gnostic texts into consideration as was the case before the official Church banned and burned any such gospels and teachings by Jesus].
The Buddha taught the Path to Nirvana
The ultimate goal of Nirvana (the "Deathless," "freedom from all suffering and further rebirth"), which is the cessation of craving and cycling and wandering through the illusory and miserable Wheel of Life and Death (Samsara), is viewed as a hopeless end compared to the Christian promise of eternal life.

Christians also disagree with the idea that suffering is something to escape solely through human effort and mental cleansing. They believe that suffering has purpose and that God is present with believers through their torments, trials, and tribulations. [Smile, the Christian God wants you to suffer.]

A study by Arizona Christian University found that only 4% of American adults hold a biblical worldview, which might help to explain why Eastern philosophies (such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Sufism to some extent) are gaining traction over traditional church teachings.

The Deleted Goddess of Christianity


Bodhisattva Kwan Yin, Buddhist Goddess of Compassion
 
The deleted Goddess of Christianity
(Asangoham) Discover evidence that Christianity erased a Goddess from its origins. What if everything we think we know about biblical monotheism is incomplete?

Beloved, nurturing Goddess Asherah
Recent discoveries have shattered our understanding of ancient Israelite religion, revealing that Yahweh [Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge in Gnosticism] -- the God of the Bible -- was once worshipped alongside a divine feminine consort [his wife] named Asherah for nearly 600 years.

In 1975, archeologists discovered pottery inscriptions at Kuntillet Ajrud in the Sinai Peninsula that shouldn't exist according to traditional biblical history.

Greece's Athena (Pallas)
Written in ancient Hebrew and dating to the 8th century BCE, the inscriptions read: "I bless you by Yahweh of Samaria and by his Asherah." His Asherah. That possessive pronoun changed everything.

Additional discoveries at Khirbet el-Qom confirmed what biblical editors had tried to erase: Israel's God had a wife, and she was worshipped in Solomon's Temple itself until King Josiah violently purged her cult around 622 BCE.

But Asherah's erasure was only the beginning. This documentary explores how the divine feminine was systematically removed from Christianity across seven critical chapters:

Chapter 1: The Vanished Feminine
The Divine Feminine (Holy Goddesses)
Before Christianity, the Mediterranean ["Middle Earth" aka "Center of World"] world overflowed with goddess worship:
  • Isis in Egypt,
  • Ishtar in Mesopotamia,
  • Artemis in Ephesus,
  • Cybele in Rome.
Then something changed. As Christianity spread, the Goddess disappeared from official theology, her temples destroyed [Asherah poles chopped down], her images smashed, her names forbidden.

Chapter 2: Asherah and the Forgotten Consort of Yahweh

The Queen of Heaven before Mary
Archeological evidence from ancient Israel reveals the explosive truth: Yahweh's divine consort was worshipped for centuries before reformers violently erased her.

The Bible itself preserves evidence of her destruction. We can examine pottery shards, temple artifacts, and biblical texts to prove that monotheism wasn't always so mono. [In fact, it is clear the whole area and the Jews in particular were polytheists.]

Sophia mystical: Sophia/Wisdom (Gnosticism)

Chapter 3: Sophia and the Gnostic Christ
Perfection of Wisdom, Java
The divine feminine refused to stay buried. She resurfaces in the Hebrew Bible as Hokmah (Wisdom), speaking as God's first creation and master craftsman. In Gnostic Christianity, Sophia becomes central to cosmic drama.
The Nag Hammadi texts discovered in 1945 show early Christian communities who understood Christ's mission as fundamentally connected to the restoration of the divine feminine.

Holiest disciple: Mary Magdalene?

Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom

Buddhist Prajnaparamita
The Thunder, Perfect Mind presents a feminine divine voice declaring: "I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one." #Christianity #Sophia #MaryMagdalene

About the Altadena Boys
Cultural classes (altadenalibrary.com)
What began with one child's generosity has grown into a movement. When Samantha Mora shared the story of boys affected by the Eaton Canyon fires with his 8-year-old son Logan, the response was immediate:

"He can have my Xbox and PC!" That selfless moment sparked a realization: if one child were willing to give his prized possessions to help another, how powerful could a community-wide effort become?

On January 12, @AltadenaBoys was born with a simple Instagram post. By January 17—just five days later—it hosted its first pop-up donation event, proving that the community was ready to rally behind boys in need.

What began as a response to a specific crisis has evolved into a broader mission to support boys' well-being throughout our community. Website: altadenaboys.com
