@Corngirljapan Reminds me of when I was going to SFSU graduate school driving my new Integra as fast as I could at night blasting Dance Tracks Vol. 2. I love this song!
We see our math teacher at 1.
He taught us that binary’s fun.
And you know that he’s proud
When he hollers out loud
And gives you a high 31!

Please enjoy my latest essay on infinity. Is infinity even or odd? There are a variety of ways to take the question, which leads to a diverse spectrum of answers.

Death by a thousand regulations
We regret to announce that we are no longer able to ship books to countries within the EU. We are still able to ship to our customers in the UK, US, Canada and the rest of the world.
Having spent almost twenty years building relationships with our readers and friends in Europe, the bureaucrats have strangled our business, and many thousands like us: The new packaging rules have made continued direct sales to the EU unviable. This means the loss of a significant part of our sales. We are sorry to have to step back from serving our European readers directly.
Under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/40), which came into effect from 12 August, a UK business shipping physical books must register in the national packaging EPR scheme of each EU member state it sells into; appoint an authorised representative established in each of those countries; and meet the associated reporting and fee obligations.
We have always taken great care with our packaging, using the most environmentally-friendly materials available. However, this is not an environmental law, it is credentialism, specifically designed to deny access to the market to everyone who is not a corporation.
The EU is a pyramid structure. We see apparent decentralisation with responsibility pushed downward, whilst control is kept at the apex. Control is exercised by defining what may ‘clear’ and by making non-clearing costly or impossible. There is no error in this, no mistake. It is by design – the ethical (green) imperative legitimates control.
The EU is a tyrannical bureaucracy which is creating a bland corporate monoculture. You will own nothing whilst an invisible class above the bureaucrats in Brussels control everything.
These rules will eventually apply to every aspect of your business and private life.
We hope those of you in the EU will continue to follow the work and stay in touch, even though you can no longer order physical books from us. We remain in hope of a better future.
For those EU readers with outstanding pre-orders, we will be monitoring the situation, however, it seems likely that we will have to refund you unless these regulations are changed.

We would like to invite you to join @petermarkadams in conversation with us for the online launch of the new edition, on Saturday 15 August, 7–8:30 PM UK time.
7 PM BST / 8 PM CEST / 2 PM EDT / 1 PM CDT / 11 AM PDT / 9 PM Türkiye.
This is a free event but limited to 100 people. Please RSVP via the link on the website or email us.
We will explore the reception of The Game of Saturn nine years after its radical thesis was first revealed, and how it transforms conventional wisdom about the Renaissance elite’s self-fashioning. Discussion will cover the persistence of the archaic notion of the ruler’s two bodies, and the figure of the ruler as both magus and daemonic more-than-human presence. Adams will further address how an animist worldview transforms visual culture and our interpretive lens, advocating an art-historical approach that evolves tarot history through iconological, iconographic and ethnographic perspectives.
Further topics include the antinomian aesthetic, miniaturisation and its talismanic and ritual efficacy, the inauguration of an esoteric tarot, the introduction of an elite cult of Saturn, an in-depth examination of the Sola-Busca itself, the Watchers and the elite, historiography and eschatology.
