Spadework | Alyssa Battistoni Your job as an organizer was to find out what it was that people wanted to be different in their lives, and then to persuade people that it mattered whether they decided to do something about it. This...

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

A great friend and easily one of the finest musicians making anything right now, solo and in collaboration.

Sweet iPod my dude!

Reading and reading comprehension are absolutely in a crisis right now. Anybody who’s in any classroom will tell you.

*friend of mine. Ugh

Years ago of mine hosted a Tarr marathon, and we watched every extant film except Satantago, over several months. One of the most worthwhile things I’ve ever done.

Absolutely amazing. That’s an inspiration not just for how to make art but for how to do basically everything.

Several of his films are collaborations with Krasznahorkai and Vig (the composer). Their work together was quite intentional, and I’ve always been lead to consider those films as not just Tar’s, but a genuine 3-person collaboration among them.

Among my favorite films of all time, by far my favorite film score of all time.

Agreed. I hate to say this, cause I don’t wanna sound like I’m complaining, but the game might just be too hard. I actually sometimes feel like there are too many bosses also. Sometimes I just want to wander around without getting clobbered.

I’m still working through act two, and I’m taking my time with it. Fights like Lace remind me of the ones I absolutely loved in the original game, where you are essentially doing a choreographed dance. It’s so thrilling.
Phantom was also like that. Evokes the Mantis Lords.

The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

Oh she is great!

Evil song I wrote from the perspective of someone who's so nihilistic they're almost but not quite optimistic www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUT1...

youtu.be/aGZdwo5rDBU?...

Yep!

Man, I played that game for a couple of years when it first came out. I cannot believe that was something like 20 years ago now. I just want them to make another good RTS someday.

That last picture is too much.

I didn’t realize that they were entire parts of the country where he was not some kind of mainstay.

“repeal seatbelt and all nanny laws”. What.

Yes.

YouTube video by Fig Dish - Topic Quiet Storm King

Guys, straight up I think this is a perfect song: youtu.be/7ohjuvsKhuI?...

Oh this is a good one. Gonna think on it more but off the top of my head: Figdish, That’s What Love Songs Often Do; Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Godfodder. Others come to mind but I don’t know if they’re at the appropriate level of obscurity for this prompt. Going to think of some more.

I think I also saw that tour! They were killer.

Saw Ned’s in Philly in 1995, their second to last show ever, and my first real show. Still have the ticket stub it was unbelievable. They played with Letters to Cleo and a Chicago band called Figdish that I still love to this day. I met one of my best friends in the world that night.

I wanna see wall-to-wall coverage of kids holding clever homemade signs. My 11-year-old finished hers last night, and she's excited and ready to go.

Numbers are not organization.
