One week into Trump’s America, and all the staff-curated images on tumblr radar are telling me to support #NoDAPL, check my privilege, and listen to marginalized folks

meanwhile the ads have started highlighting southern college blondes in tube tops

You have to take screenshots.

I’m stuck with fancy watches.

these are more crop tops, but still, ask and ye shall recieve

ever since I learned how trees grow and how to trim them every picture or plot of land has become a tribute to and record of mankind’s halfassery

they were on some next level shit in 1896

Maurizio Bongiovanni (1979) is an italian artist. His work is placed right in the middle between realism and abstraction. This kind of research is mainly expressed in his birds series. In these oil on canvases streams of colors are generated from realistic colorful birds, in a perfect mix between different kinds of art styles. The result is stunning.

Somehow I only just found out about this real fucking show from 1997 about a saxophone player who gets struck by lightning and gains the superpower of having his brain ‘tuned to the frequency of evil’. Guess who guest starred in two episodes? The President!

What’re you talking about? Is this the print edition?

So far the Democrats have noticed that an overlapping coalition of minorities, professionals, urbanites, and media support them, and concluded this means they can do whatever they decide

So far the Republicans have established that the electoral apparatus supports them and concluded they’re within rights to insist on what they decide

Democrats have announced that they will drag out the appointment process as long as possible

Republicans cannot afford to break unity while the Gorsuch nomination goes through

This is widely understood as a victory for the Democrats, at least by the Democrats

So the Oregon recreational marijuana program emphasized farm-to-laboratory-to-outlet tracking (nominally to prevent diversion, really to keep industry buildout in-state, effect is market was hived off), then mandatory labeling for THC content (which is the only clear indicator with on-site or on- duty sampling prohibited and grower volume limits means strains are always changing) and original per-day weight purchase limits. Meanwhile the rise of extracts (vape, wax, shatter, edible butter) means there’s less pressure towards smokability

Result is crumbly, dry-ass flower that leaves kief all over the inside of the container and practically needs remedial humidation from the second it’s open

boo

do you honestly have a humidor for your weed

(anyway the dry stuff grinds easier)

I don’t have a humidor and I’d prefer to be able to continue living like that

The dry stuff grinds down to a dust bigger enough than kief crystals to not pass through my grinder’s screen but fine enough that they incinerate more than vaporize when exposed to flame and come through harsh as hell

A wave of Neo-Fascists have been elected into government, people are desperate, they turn to the relationship that one Japanese video game maker has with his Danish lover, while in the meanwhile, a young girl’s magazine calls for revolution…

How do these interact? Find out in Will Gibson’s

Emergent Actor

Nah second thought this is totally a Neal Stephenson thing Will Gibson wouldn’t write this schlock

it can’t be neal stephenson unless it gets pseudo-dickian and incomprehensible as fuck in the last act. what’s the twist

It’s not Dickian, it’s literally Victorian, Stephenson maximizes for thread elaboration like a by-the-word serializer and then ends things by exhausted abandon

prudencepaccard:

things that have made me question whether I was awake or asleep in the past few months:
this book

this ketchup bottle

this Mexican Vanity Fair cover where Melania Trump is eating jewelry

the latter’s husband’s presidency

(p.s. anon don’t expect an answer but I appreciate the drunk asks, they’re a cut above the usual tbh)

i mean philip-k-dickian in that the sense of fugue-state dissociation from ‘reality’ gets cranked way the fuck up out of nowhere. the basic structure of every stephenson book is established way back in the big u where the first half of the book is a funny light satire on dorm life at a land-grant college and by the end it turns out everyone might be mind-controlled by a fucking box fan

The Baroque Cycle was an excuse to publish 3,000 pages of plot/commentary/cryptography before he had to improvise an ending

I suspect we’re aggressively agreeing with each other at this point

fuckin’ geeksexuals, ambiguous Mormon surfer-lookin programmers and their mousy-ass septum cosplay gfs, can’t get a read on shit

Kinfolk-ass wardrobes but giving the vibe I’m supposed to want your girl as some sorta str8 roommate fantasy by proxy

writing style: author from the 1800s with a severe love of commas whose sentences last half a page 

I came out here, to this point, to this place, hoping against all hope and despite signs and portends suggesting otherwise that I might, somehow, find myself having a pleasant experience, and yet here I stand, alone against the world, feeling assaulted, attacked on all fronts, knowing not my enemy’s name nor his face nor whether our battle is done.

The “Flight 93 Election” author was the same guy who put that false yellowcake claim in the 2003 SotU in pursuit of a casus belli in Iraq, then he was an investment banker and wrote a men’s style guide/Machiavelli parody under a different pseudonym, as of today he’s senior director of strategic communications at the National Security Council
