This week, Andrew Zucker reports on the latest luxury for Ivy League nepo babies of the 1-percenters: private, white-glove housing stocked with amenities. (So long, grungy communal bathroom down the hall!) Then, George Pendle takes us inside what he calls the March (of) Madness—his version of college basketball's March Madness bracket, but this is your chance to choose which of Trump's actions in the past month has been The Worst. And finally, Linda Wells discusses Ozempic 2.0, how to schedule a midlife divorce, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This week, is Donald Trump smarter than we think he is on foreign policy? Could he, as some say, be pulling a "Reverse-Nixon"? Our colleague George Pendle joins us with his insights. Then, Tesla used to be the car of choice for virtue-signaling Democrats. Now, as liberals all over the world unload what some are calling their "Swasticars," in anger at Elon Musk, our writer Simon Mills asks if MAGA loyalists will step in to help with the drop in sales. And finally, Linda Wells stops by with the latest news on all things health- and beauty-related, including a report on "Spermageddon" among men and what they can do to increase their odds of becoming fathers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Tom Goldstein was one of Washington, D.C.'s top lawyers, arguing 44 cases before the Supreme Court. Yet few knew he was also one of the world's highest-rolling—and most reckless—poker players, racking up millions of dollars in winnings and losses. Then his worlds collided. Our writer George Pendle has the full, jaw-dropping account. Then, after an almost 10-year absence, a new Bridget Jones movie is coming to theaters, and two of our writers, Carolina de Armas and Victoria Herman, couldn't help but wonder: How would Bridget navigate the Gen Z New York City of 2025? And speaking of movies, Stuart Heritage joins us from London with his report on the Prince Charles Cinema. For years, this independent movie theater has been beloved by such movie greats as Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson, who are just a few cinephiles who consider it perhaps the greatest movie house in the world. But now it is under threat of closure, and Stu will tell us if it is indeed the last picture show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Elena Clavarino takes us inside her story about a culture of alleged sexual harassment and alleged financial impropriety at the art world's most prestigious design gallery. Then it's election season … not just in the U.K. and the U.S. but also in the European Union, where the European Parliament is holding elections. For years, the parliament was the domain of faceless bureaucrats. No more, however. As our own George Pendle reports, it's now become a finishing school for Fascists. And finally, Linda Wells will join us for a serious—yes, serious—talk about Paris Hilton. Linda will tell us why we've all been wrong in our national pastime of the past 20 years—underestimating Hilton and her business savvy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Here at Morning Meeting we love nothing more than a juicy grifter story. This week, our colleague George Pendle joins us to share a whopper of a tale that involves shifting identities and a shocking endgame. It's a story we call “The Grift, the Prince, and the Twist,” and it needs to be heard to be believed. Then Jeffrey Toobin reveals how the key to understanding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s quest for the Oval Office can be found in a nearly 50-year-old murder case.

I may as well leave the content warning up from last fortnight... I don't know, if you're prudish I mention sex magick several times in this Tale – though hardly go into detail.. When John Whiteside Parsons – Jack to his friends – died suddenly in an explosion, one may have expected platitudes to the man. As a pioneering rocket scientist, the world - and the future would owe much to his innovations. Instead, all anyone could talk about was the gossip about his lifestyle – and membership to a cult which worshipped a man known as ‘The Great Beast'. This is part two of the two parter. You can read the prelude here. Part one here. This episode here. I also loaded Franklin D Roosevelt's date which will live in infamy speech, and Aleister Crowley's Hymn to Pan onto a blog post here.

I watched several YouTube videos on Crowley's Gnostic Mass (Liber XV) – which was so far from what I expected it to be... referred to a couple of LA Times articles (Paywalled) about Clifford Clinton, his Clifton's Cafes, Frank Lloyd, and the LA Mafia in the 1920s and 30s, over a year ago. The info on Pearl Harbour was sealed into my brain from high school. About the Author: Simone Whitlow is an academic, competitive quizzer, songwriter and musician. Meh, I've got no personal anecdote for this one... Transgender, she uses she/her pronouns.
Content warning! I discuss a violent death in this Tale, and allude to another. When John Whiteside Parsons – Jack to his friends – died suddenly in an explosion, one may have expected platitudes to the man. As a pioneering rocket scientist, the world - and the future would owe much to his innovations. Instead, all anyone could talk about was the gossip about his lifestyle – and membership to a cult which worshipped a man known as ‘The Great Beast' Over the next two episodes, we're talking about the mad life of Jack Parsons – Rocketeer, Occultist...... Spy? You can read the episode here. I also mention the Prelude written in the blog, here. And, of course Tipu's Tiger. Please leave me like, give us a follow. Share the channel – it helps Tales grow.

I read Strange Angel by George Pendle, Sex and Rockets, the Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter and Robert Anton Wilson, watched several YouTube videos on Crowley's Gnostic Mass (Liber XV) – which was so far from what I expected it to be... referred to a couple of LA Times articles (Paywalled) about Clifford Clinton, his Clifton's Cafes, Frank L. Shaw, and the LA Mafia in the 1920s and 30s, over a year ago....that which I ramble through in the middle of the episode (and write about in the prologue) is from my notes on those articles, in my big red book of ideas. I also stole a single musical phrase from Prokofiev's Violin concerto no.2 in music on part 2. Thanks Spotify for having a version to learn the piece from. About the Author: Simone Whitlow is an academic, competitive quizzer, songwriter and musician. She has never joined a sex cult.... well, not before this episode was published anyway... Transgender, she uses she/her pronouns.

La herencia de Parsons como ingeniero y químico se ha visto un tanto eclipsado por su interés en lo oculto. Y ha dado lugar a lo que, algunos críticos, realizaran una reescritura de los libros de historia. …"Es una figura olvidada", dice su biógrafo George Pendle, autor de la obra titulada: "Strange Angel - The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parson"… George Pendle investigó en la vida de Parsons después de encontrar una mención de él en un libro de ciencia: "Cuanto más cavé, más extraña y extrema la historia me parecía”. Parsons desempeñó un papel crucial en la creación de la ciencia de los cohetes y fue clave en la construcción de los cohetes que fueron utilizados en la carrera espacial. Sin embargo, también creía en la magia, estuvo implicado en las primeras etapas de la Cienciología y tuvo una vida sexual muy atípica. Por esa razón, según Pendle, Parsons no encajaba en el molde del Complejo Industrial de la NASA.. Entendamos el relato…

Review of Strange Angel: the otherworldly life of scientist John Whiteside Parsons - by George Pendle. My thoughts and feelings along with other emotions and inspirations taken from the book about one of the most fascinating characters and real people from the history of science and magic.
