The Restrainer and the Republic, and the Counter-Revolutionary Account of the Lodges
Alexander Poe’s “The New Order of Freemasonry” treats modern liberty as the removal of the restrainer and Freemasonry as the secret author of that removal. This paper answers that the documents condemn a civil concession they do not prove was plotted, and that a republic limited against arbitrary power, including clerical power, is not an apostasy. INTRODUCTION A young counter-revolutionary has found a costume, and he thinks it is a tradition.

talking abt my bff abt timelines, and she reminded me of the fact that Kes isn't mentioned at all in Resistance Reborn, which strikes me as odd if Poe's willing to ask Snap to bring *his* parents in unless Poe would do the same, so I'm still at that space of "where's kes? is he safe? is he alright?"

I make these jokes, I get blocked.
Someone who lives their entire life as one big misogynistic parody makes them, and it’s cutesy repost-fodder.
If we ever get the “It is impossible to pander to women” corollary of Poe’s Law, I claim the naming rights. 😠

Holmes was never quite fair to Dupin. In A Study in Scarlet he calls him “a very inferior fellow” for “breaking in on his friends’ thoughts with an apropos remark.” Yet in “The Cardboard Box” he does exactly that to Watson, citing “one of Poe’s sketches.” Was Doyle teasing his own debt?

Poe's Law rules the universe.
Every day I read a dozen things so grotesque, so depraved, that i could never again trust or respect anyone supporting it. But even in a crowded field this stands out.
