We make the memes (since 2022) so you don't have to.

Can it be this sad design
Could be the very same?
A wooly man without a face
And a beast without a name
Anyway, as far as my fiery vision goes, I've never seen any evidence to support the idea of extrasensory perception. What people mistake for ESP, or a case of someone being "psychic" — for instance, someone having foreknowledge of future events or events taking place elsewhere-seems to me to be a matter of intuition based on the conscious and unconscious accumulation of thousands or millions of tiny details. Naturally, some folks are more talented along these lines than others. For instance, my wife is, certainly; I'm not. But I think I might have been pulling in a little ectoplasm last night. No?

way deep into nothing special @steelydan_memes Gaucho begins with a declaration of the essential ontology of Western empire ("Drive west on Sunset to the sea") and ends with that selfsame empire in ruins—the American suburb on fire in "Third World Man," its inhabitants dazed by their sudden relegation to the "third world." Gaucho is nothing less than speculative fiction in the form of a concept album about the decline and fall of the postwar American imperium on the eve of Ronald Reagan.
We're not afraid to trawl the archives of the Wayback Machine and recycle some stuff to fill in the gaps while we get the big reel-to-reel memetics computers rolling over here again at the Lab
