- Mitch Horowitz: What is the occult? – Boing Boing
Interesting definition supplied. I like the term "occult" because it's admirably woobly-woo resistant, when correctly understood (something far too many "practicioners" fail to do). As I'm sure most of you know, it means "hidden". And what is hidden may be revealed with science when we work it out. It's a lot better than "supernatural", which is a term I don't like – there is no supernatural, merely the natural that science has not fully explained yet.

Must remember to book tickets to see this.

Beautiful, and I kinda want one, but much, much too pricey to be worth it.

This sort of combination of abuse of power and utter moronic stupidity by the courts and major institutions makes me incandescent. There are far worse things that happen in the world every day, and I know it, but this sort of thing is a particular hot-button for me, because it's so self-evidently unjust and unreasonable that I cannot fathom how any sane person could conceive of it as a decent or sensible thing to do.

Well, this is crying out to be recycled into some nasty bit of horror/mystery fiction or something.
