I don’t think he thinks he’s 70, I think it’s just a number to him. There’s no way that he will slow down. You must be joking. I keep saying 70 is getting on a bit. It’s not very old but it is old. You have to slow down a bit. – Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall on The Prince of Wales
But he’ll stick with his papers, I know he will, while I am trying to sing happy birthday. I might just even have to hold up a sign saying “Happy birthday, darling”. – Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall on The Prince of Wales
Happy 70th birthday, Charles Philip Arthur George (*14.11.1948)
Four years, 527 countries, 25 million dead. Soldiers and civilians. Innocent people. Women and children slaughtered. Their homes and their villages looted and burned.

LOOK AT THE LITTLE FAT ROLLS ON HIS CHUBBY LITTLE LEGS BABIES ARE SO CUUUUUTE
Exactly! It never ceases to amaze me that the sugars/Markle stans always think no one should exist to burst their bubble. No wonder everyone thinks they’re either 12 or teenagers.
Nope! But that’s not entirely surprising given she only invited her mother to her wedding. Couldn’t even include any of her mother’s relatives, you know, her non-Markle relatives.
Unfortunately, the theory about her faking and planning a miscarriage doesn’t really work because Megs really needs some long-term attachment to the BRF for status and money. Two things she craves the most.
The BRF appears upset about the situation–for those smart enough to analyze and parse the words published about the pregnancy–because they know that this relationship between Harry and Megs is a complete disaster. They know that bringing a baby into the situation just makes things absolutely worse.
Yeah, Fergie was a pr nightmare back in the 90s, but Fergie is actually a nice person. The family liked her personally, but her actions were so terrible that she could not be formally associated with the royal family anymore. Megs is just the absolute worst. She is arrogant, dumb, mean, materialistic, fame hungry, and reckless. Yeah, she’s not an axe murderer, but when the job is to represent the pinnacle of British society she comes up several miles short.
1. She looks pregnant. You can see some weight gain in her face and boobs. Yes, she sticks out her belly for maximum press coverage, but she looks pregnant.
2. I suspect she lied about how far along she was when she announced. I think she was 10 weeks maximum, if that, when they announced. I think that has thrown people for a loop since the announcement said she had passed 12 weeks when she probably hadn’t, which confuses people because she doesn’t look that pregnant. She said she was second trimester during the tour and she definitely didn’t look it.
3. I don’t exactly believe the Suits rumors at this point. I need more proof than a closed Facebook group. That kind of thing–IF it’s true–won’t be verified until, perhaps, years later.
4. Yes, the British royal family acknowledged the pregnancy after it was announced. Harry & Megs just didn’t get the glowing congratulations that Will & Kate or Zara & Mike received.
5. Megs went to “The Secret” church, remember? It’s literally about thinking about what you want. Your actions don’t seem to matter as much as long as you’re thoughts are about what you want. Megs probably thinks that as long as she thinks about having a baby then the baby will automatically appear and be healthy.
6. Janetti posts all sorts of shit. Just because he posts a joke doesn’t make it true.
7. Like AHPF said a few weeks ago, Megs has no problem flouting the rules because she’s pregnant and knows that she has her “meal ticket.” Megs is legit pregnant.
8. I’m sure the RF paid for the IVF. The IVF was cheaper than her tour wardrobe when you think about it.
9. The tour pregnancy announcement solely has to do with the famewhore qualities that have been exhibited this entire relationship. No surprise there when you think about it.
10. Dumb people do dumb things all the time. Yes, it is hard to understand when you have a functioning brain that can understand logic and that actions have consequences. But dumb people–specifically the two dunderheads planning on becoming parents–tend to make dumb decisions. Everything that has happened with this relationship–and particularly this pregnancy–is an epic tale of DUMB! Find out you’re pregnant? Drink champagne without food on a flight to Canada. Feel stressed going to a night time engagement while stoking pregnancy rumors? (Allegedly) Take some Xanax for a nice glazed eye look. Worried about changing your trademark hair look because of some baby growing in your womb? Screw that and straighten your hair for the umpteenth time again. Worried about some weird jungle virus (Zika) that could damage your baby’s health? Pfft. Whatever.
I didn’t see it before, but I have now! Geez, the self absorption never stops with this woman.
I watched just the minute before the 36:17 mark, and it was pretty obvious based on how the entire audience was clapping that everyone should be clapping.
First, let’s remember the reason why Fergie & Andrew divorced: the toe sucking incident that was made public. They didn’t want to divorce, but (allegedly) Philip said that Fergie had damaged The Family’s reputation so much that they had to divorce. Fergie & Andrew’s relationship between them was quite strong prior and remained so after they divorced, while living together and raising their daughters together. Fergie ran in royal circles prior to dating Andrew; her father was Prince Philips polo manager.
No such bond really exists like that between Harry and Megs. They had a long-distance relationship before they got engaged. Harry was away from her this past August while he was in Africa either for a month or several weeks at a minimum. They were not used to spending long periods of time together when they got engaged. They don’t have a strong relationship between them. Their relationship has always been built on drama.
So, no, I don’t expect Harry and Megs to be friends after their marriage is over. They’re both so petty and insecure too.
I don’t know about you all, but Mercury Retrograde has reared its angry little head early for me this week. The worst! So naturally, the only thing to do was distract myself with reading up on the news beneath the news.
(By the way, if anyone else wants to do a tarot reading for me on whether my hot water will be working again by tomorrow morning, I wouldn’t argue.)

What kind of stories does ‘Melissa’ want to spill?
Story 1: Somebody is making caaassshh behind closed doors with some shady business deals (Clouds, Fish). They are trying hard to keep the root of these profits secret (Anchor) to maintain the image of status quo. Something tells me it has to do with the media, since profit from communication was showing up (Fish, Letter). This might have something to do with their body or conversations about their body (Tree), or I don’t know…maybe something that happens to one’s body when they are expectant. But they are wanting to lock this story down and keep any news of side cashflows from leaking, for sure.
Story 2: Somebody else who is the man in the public eye is beginning to get very wobbly behind closed doors (Bird, Child). His stress is quite apparent now, but he’s scared about his loss of reputation (Garden, Coffin) and wishes he could withdraw from public life. This person is also worried about losing something or someone (Coffin, Bird) and is trying to stick it out publicly because they’re about to be a parent (Man, Child). Apparently, it ain’t so easy to hide once the cameras are off.
Story 3: Somebody is a truly, truly horrendous boss. There might have been a friendship and loyalty with that person to begin, but their overly dominant behaviour became exploitative and damaged this loyalty (Dog, Bear). That person has transitioned into a new role (Stork) and has become snarky, judgmental and extremely aggressive (Woman, Whip). The way that person was treating their employee was abhorrent, and now the power dynamics are beginning to shift (Stork, Bear).
Story 4: Looks like there might already be a third party in the marriage (Man, Crossroads), and the male figure is the one who has been philandering. This person has been really struggling, finding it difficult to sleep and has been fighting with conflicting emotions (Moon, Mountain). They are dutiful and feel bound by their responsibilities (Cross), but they have been quietly suffering and might have recently found someone else to lean on for support about this. They’re now faced with a problematic choice, but are pushing on out of a persistent feeling of duty (Cross, Mountains).
An ancient Egyptian papyrus, known as the Cairo Calendar, could be the oldest historical record of a star’s brightness, providing a new perspective on the development of the Algol triple star system over thousands of years.
Known as the Calendar of Lucky and Unlucky Days, the Cairo Calendar, dated from 1244 – 1163 BC, assigns predictions and prognoses to every day of the Egyptian year. These prognoses indicate whether the day, or part of the day, is considered “good” or “bad”. The calendar also contains information regarding the day’s astronomical observations, such as the behaviour of astronomical objects, especially Algol.
Now researchers say that the astronomical symbolism discovered in the two most Ancient Egyptian myths suggest similar clues could be found in other ancient Egyptian texts. Read more.
This spreadsheet lists a number of ways in which AI agents “cheat” in order to accomplish tasks or get higher scores instead of doing what their human programmers actually want them to. A few examples from the list:
Neural nets evolved to classify edible and poisonous mushrooms took advantage of the data being presented in alternating order, and didn’t actually learn any features of the input images.
In an artificial life simulation where survival required energy but giving birth had no energy cost, one species evolved a sedentary lifestyle that consisted mostly of mating in order to produce new children which could be eaten (or used as mates to produce more edible children).
Agent kills itself at the end of level 1 to avoid losing in level 2.
AI trained to classify skin lesions as potentially cancerous learns that lesions photographed next to a ruler are more likely to be malignant.
That second item is a doozy! Philosopher Nick Bostrom has warned of the dangers of superintelligent agents that exploit human error in programming them, describing a possible future where an innocent paperclip-making machine destroys the universe.
The “paperclip maximiser” is a thought experiment proposed by Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University. Imagine an artificial intelligence, he says, which decides to amass as many paperclips as possible. It devotes all its energy to acquiring paperclips, and to improving itself so that it can get paperclips in new ways, while resisting any attempt to divert it from this goal. Eventually it “starts transforming first all of Earth and then increasing portions of space into paperclip manufacturing facilities”.
But some of this is The Lebowski Theorem of machine superintelligence in action. These agents didn’t necessarily hack their reward functions but they did take a far easiest path to their goals, e.g. the Tetris playing bot that “paused the game indefinitely to avoid losing”.
Forgot to add, if anyone is helping anymore it’s probably Charles (Ten of Cups/Death (Scorpio Card)). But I think both Harry and Meghan are losing hope it will work out, tbh.
When I did several readings I got that only Charles and Harry were helping Rachel. Charles is actually dealing with it at a distance to the point where he’s playing telephone. He tells harry something and harry give meghan the message. Theirs no direct contact. He’s almost at the end of his road in helping her. I wonder how aggressive they were about not holding hands especially since they did it last night. I had some other things come up but it wasnt during a reading, I’ll pull cards later.
Ghosts are real. This much I know. There are things that tie them to a place, very much like they do to us. Some remain tethered to a patch of land, a time and date, the spilling of blood, a terrible crime. There are others – others that hold on to an emotion, a drive. Loss, revenge, or love. Those… they never go away.
