they should build a giant helicopter from which to eject, from high above the sea and in groups of 2-300 at a time, white dudes my age who watch stuff on their phones or laptops at full volume in enclosed public spaces

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

The Gene Hackman news should be a serious wake up call for people about how we abandoned our elderly. No household should end like that. Ever.

One of the greatest noise albums of all time finally gets a well-deserved deluxe reissue, this blithering meticulous nonsense is right up there with Hanatarash 3 or whatever else you want to nominate. Essential for all freaks and mutants. toliveandshaveinla-wig-box.bandcamp.com/album/4lp-bo...
