giordano-bruno··on Vanced: YouTube adblocker for Android
The same reason we all use(d) The Pirate Bay. Information deserves to be free, remember? We can distribute videos for free, you remember that, right? We can also pay content creators, who get ripped off by YouTube anyway. Ask them about that.

giordano-bruno··on Intelligence as a Planetary Scale Process
Today, Gaia.

Tommorow, the stars themselves are demons. The Millisecond Pulsar is often mistaken for being Lucifer, but that’s actually Sirius - according to astrophysics, of course.

Neo-Astrology returns from the stargate, waving a dog-eared copy of Zetetic Scholar, and smirks at us.

giordano-bruno··on 22/02/2022 is palindrome day (for most of the world)
It’s also the Pluto return.

Pluto, planet of Hades, death, and revolution will return to 27deg Capricorn, the exact zodiac position it held on July 4th, 1776.

Welcome to the real Age of Aquarius.
