Carl sagan’s thought about books:
“When our genes could not store all the information necessary for survival, we slowly invented them. But then the time came, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when we needed to know more than could conveniently be contained in brains. So we learned to
stockpile enormous quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, so far as we know, to have
invented a communal memory stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The warehouse of that memory is called the library. A book is made from a tree. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.”
-Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“A society which cannot tolerate genderbending or cross- dressing ultimately will not tolerate homosexuality, bisexuality, or any other deviance from sexual or gender norms, no matter how closeted or assimilated.”

Death To Pepsidrome, Long Live the New Coke
we approach 3am, "Videodrome" down, starting to watch Nigel Kneale's "The Stone Tape," a bit of BBC hauntological fun. 2 minutes in and there's some impressively ominous typefaces prevalent in this movie.

the real city-destroying monster in this movie is the unresolved sexual tension between Kong and Godzilla
*watches King Kong fight Godzilla* hey, ha ha, this is like the old arcade game "Rampage," someone should make a movie out of that someday
*suddenly remembers that there was a "Rampage" movie starring The Rock and i had forgotten about it until now*
i can't believe that there's a movie called "Godzilla Vs. Kong" and i haven't watched it yet.
well i somehow managed to get a night alone so it's chinese food, a xanax and Monkey Punch Lizard Fighty Times. huh-fuckin-zzah.
if the SSX3 soundtrack were breakfast cereal, it'd be "Oops, All Bangers"

Cops usually show you their allegiance by who they’re facing at a protest.
They’re never staring down employers at union protests. Look at where they’re standing when Nazis come out.
