Food fight for thought (and other confusions). / 📰 Two decades of MTV News was just memory holed. (Archive) / 🎨 On the PhD in (and general hollowing of) "creativity." ❝The desire was not to elevate the already nonconformist or arty, but to convince the normies to conceptualize themselves as unconventional, creative, quirky – in the hopes that they could be encouraged to “think outside the box” of what a pesticide is supposed to be or what a weapon of war could accomplish.❞ / Banksy without Banksy. / 🍽️ The people who fight at dinner parties. ❝I am pleased to see the dinner party as an occasion to intensify dissent rather than merely react to it.❞ / 🎸 Queen Songs. / The Exotica Project (and other collections). / Dance Like David Byrne, a zine. / ⚱️ Françoise Hardy and Sika died. / 📻 Free sound effects from the BBC. / Also: 5 hours of the Shipping Forecast. / 👾 Moondrop Isle. / Level Devil. / 🍿 Search and play phrases from movies. / 🧮 Calculator words.
