After viewing several topographical maps, an old wagon wheel, and a few rusting farm implements, visitors to Hopkinton’s local history museum confirmed Monday that the curators had clearly dug deep to fill the two 15-by-20-foot rooms at their disposal. “The first room had photos of the town’s past and a handful of framed newspaper clippings by the entrance, but the next display case was basically just full of old railroad spikes,” said Hopkinton resident Clara Bouchard, who spent less than a minute examining a 1948 photograph of the town’s former train depot before concluding the structure, which now houses a café and yarn store, looks more or less the same today as it did then.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that’s been happening in the last couple years is “youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will”
Shout out to the guy who wanted to do some fun & silly little reviews but uncovered an illegal gambling operation
(Review 2)
this guy started out poking fun at australian politicians and ended up investigating the firebombing of his own home, during which he uncovered connections between the same politician he was making fun of + major organized crime
“So I did what any normal person would do, okay? I bought a hat and some makeup and disguised myself so that I could go undercover and do some digging on what I thought could be an illegal gambling operation that was fronting as a kebab restaurant.”
Amazing.
I for one, welcome this new niche genre of detective fiction.
Bro YouTuber documentarists either copy straight up from Wikipedia, or they basically spent the last 3 months traveling to Venice to find the actual physical document for their research. Also I need more of this content in my life it takes (fairly) a really long time for another video to come out.

I'm right around the end of my second playthrough of Demon Souls and I love the game. My first playthrough was a strength build, my second is completely based on sorceries with me not putting any levels into health to not make it way easier than the first playthrough.
Does anyone have any really unconventional playstyles for a third playthrough? I'm talking weird builds, obscure weapons that have odd mechanics, or any other ideas to make a new playthrough interesting. I've played the other soulsborne games with a variety of builds, and beaten them all besides Sekiro. I'm not really interested in doing a soul level 1 playthrough.
I'll probably go black world/character tendency and help Mephisto with character 3

Shocking Truth Social followers with a graphic insult to a nebulous opponent, President Donald Trump escalated a feud with an unclear adversary Monday by posting an AI video of himself fucking a basketball. “The president is clearly enraged at somebody, but the clip provides far too little context to know who exactly is meant to be targeted,” said political analyst Allen Mueller, noting that the computer-generated president shouts the name of a different foreign country with each sweaty thrust into the bright orange basketball.

In an effort to soften the blow for a human race eagerly awaiting His glorious arrival, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, clarified Monday that His return would be strictly limited to His carpentry business. “While I will soon appear once more upon the earthly realm, My sole focus during this Second Coming will be various woodworking projects and not the establishment of a messianic kingdom,” said Christ, the Light of the World, adding that He was looking forward to finishing the walnut kitchen island He had set aside for His martyrdom two millennia ago.

“i asked chatgpt” “i asked grok” well i asked sweet shalquoir and she said "this place is already dead. everything will crumble and waste away, so that something new may be born. isn't it wonderful? hee hee hee…"
Was reading about Lorgar's attempted coup against Horus. People were baffled by Lorgar's delusions of grandeur and how the only thing that could possibly lead him into a plan that idiotic was his inferiority complex. Basically "he got to feel special for the first time in his life at the start of the civil war and couldn't stand Horus outpacing him as the champion of Chaos Undivided"
But I feel like it's even more pathetic. There was a time in his life, pre-HH, when Lorgar felt special. He spent something like 65 straight years being told by everyone around him on Colchis that he was exceedingly special. Hell, he was exceedingly special compared to everyone else. Sure, Kor Phaeron was abusing the hell out of him and giving him a wicked personality disorder, but he was still telling Lorgar he was a literal gift from the gods between beatings. He was a big fish in a little pond for the entirety of his formative years.
Then he gets scooped up by the Emperor and promptly discovers he's the disappointing runt of the litter. The Emperor views him as an annoying failure and 17 out of his 18 brothers treat him like he's a cringe homeschooled loser. Even Fulgrim, who manages to like Curze to some degree, wants nothing to do with him. He can only relate to Magnus and even then Lorgar is the Jan Brady to Magnus' Marcia. Malcador seems to have a soft spot for him, but I get the sense Lorgar feels entitled to approval from "lesser beings", it doesn't mean nearly as much as validation from Big E or his brothers.
It reminds me so much of this thing that happens in art school where every single student's been The #1 Creative Genius of their hometown until this point, only for the vast majority to suddenly learn they actually fall somewhere around the middle of the new hierarchy once they arrive. It's a whole phenomenon, everybody has a mental breakdown over it in their first semester. "If my sense of self is rooted in being the best at [x] and I'm no longer the best, then who the fuck am I ??"
So to go from: very special->extremely insecure->being told you have every reason to feel extremely insecure->mental breakdown->being told you're actually the gods most special boy->watching your popular jock brother who fucks actually be the gods most special boy
Then like...yeah, no shit you're gonna make a doomed grab for power the second Horus starts falling apart near the finish line.
Damn, I am being spoiled with all the good analysis on my dash today.
Anyway, this is tragic, but I am still gonna mock Lorgar for being a dweeb.
Oh well yeah he is a dweeb. He's a dumb baby. The thing that negates the tragedy of it all is the fact he has pretty textbook NPD, specifically a sub-type called Communal Narcissism:
"A communal narcissist is an individual who seeks validation, admiration, and a sense of superiority by acting as a highly selfless, nurturing, or charitable person. Unlike traditional narcissists seeking power, they pose as 'saviors' or pillars of the community, though their helpfulness is often a performance driven by a need for public recognition."
A lot of people seem to think he has BPD because of his emotional volatility, but...I mean have any of you guys seen narcissistic rage? It's pretty volatile and it's more in line with Lorgar's Whole Deal. He doesn't have a fractured, unstable sense of self like with BPD, he has a pretty inflexible sense of self and that's the actual root of his crashouts.
He quickly goes from charming and eager to be liked to a red-faced screaming idiot over perceived slights because any insult, intentional or otherwise, challenges the entire self-concept he's constructed as a defense mechanism for his fragile ego. It's narcissistic injury.
And that's why he had such an EXTREME reaction to his censure at Monarchia. His Former Gifted Kid Crashout is tied into his Communal Narcissism, he's built an entire sense of self out of "I understand the one true religion, I am the pure, kindhearted soul saving humanity by bringing the light of the God-Emperor to the dark lives of the suffering, ignorant masses, I am His prophet, I am His son, I'm special by proxy: you're welcome".
So to have the Emperor show up like "Actually the entire framework you use to feel in control, good, special, etc. is idiotic and you have to stop. Stop it. Shut up, dummy. Why can't you have your shit together like your one hyper-secular brother who is the exact opposite of everything you are. Also, fuck your city [spits]" is...god, that is the ultimate Narcissistic Injury for Lorgar.
Who is he without this savior identity construct? Who is he without his self-perception as a christlike figure? How can he reassure himself that he's good and special and beloved and that all of his actions are justified without the belief that he's the son of a literal God? What do you mean the band-aid protecting his deeply wounded ego has been ripped off and replaced with nothing? He can't be Guilliman, that's not a viable option, so how the fuck is he going to function ?
Why, you obviously find new gods who tell you you're the most special boy and that all of your actions are justified. Yeah they're pretty blatantly evil, but you weren't actually into the kind, loving part of religion anyway. And yeah they're definitely lying about helping humanity, but who gives a shit, they've handed you the perfect way of rationalizing all of the insanely fucked shit you're about to do solely to avoid feeling shame.
And I should clarify: NPD doesn't make you inherently bad, Lorgar is not inherently bad just because he has a personality disorder. He's a fucking idiot asshole because he not only makes -1000 effort to use Monarchia as an opportunity to shed a coping mechanism and heal himself, he also sets the entire galaxy on fire just to keep feeding his wounded ego.
So yeah keep dunking on him. Lets all dunk on him. Fuck you, Lorgar, bitchass.
This might be enough to get me to read The First Heretic. It’s been on my reading list for a while but I’ve been kinda putting it off because philosophically speaking, Lorgar drives me up the wall. But this is the kind of perspective that I need.
I'm in the middle of The First Heretic and have been enjoying it... a lot more than I was expecting. As someone raised in a highly charismatic and conservative religious community, evangelists and such make me bow up and hiss like a mashed cat. I was definitely not looking forward to this one. But the book really cuts into the character of Lorgar and his legion from the angle of their flaws and shortcomings in an unflinching and honest way. It's been a good read. Not my favorite (that goes to Mechanicum or Nemesis) but it's been good. Especially at portraying Primarchs... they seem larger than life and very very human all at once.
I’ve been avoiding it because I am myself religious (Jewish) and have a lot of Intense Feels about matters of religion and faith. Tl;dr, a cruel god does not deserve worship, and a cruel religion does not deserve followers. There’s a lot of people on this planet—you’ve probably met a few, given your background—who would tell me that God will damn me to Hell solely because I stick to the practices of my people rather than following their particular flavor of belief. Morality and good deeds don’t matter, only slavish, thoughtless devotion. If that is indeed the case, I will face God and walk backwards into Hell. I’d rather burn with my people than ascend with a pack of assholes into the arms of a wire mother god.
So I’ve been avoiding First Heretic because I know that I’ll be going into a story about a man repeatedly making the opposite decision. Which, let’s be clear, sounds like a great concept for a novel! I just worry that I will be clawing my face off in rage the whole time. I was kinda rolling around on the ground and shrieking at the end of Betrayer over Lorgar’s shit. Poor Angron.
Yep, fellow Jew here, specifically Reconstructionist so a lot of emphasis on tikkun olam amd tzedek tzedek tirdof, things that, you know, exist in direct opposition to Lorgar's bullshit lol. It's interesting, because I knew Lorgar was so full of shit from the jump, I just experienced him as a case study on how toxic individuals operate rather than as a vessel for the exploration of faith. It's like it removes faith from the equation almost because it's so clearly not about that for him, he's too pathologically self-centered. It's like how one Word Bearer put it in Know No Fear: "I've despised Lorgar for quite awhile now [...] We used to be the Bearers of the Word, now all we bear is Lorgar"
Argel Tal, on the other hand, drove me up the wall. That man was the King of Enablers/Bystanders.
God, that conversation between the Word Bearer and the Ultramarine in Know No Fear was *chef's kiss*.
I'll definitely give the First Heretic a shot. I've been reading a lot of Ultramarines lately anyways and could use a palate cleanser.
