wally, is that you?! the wall of sound's vocal cluster (& seastones deliverer), following its decommission. amazing find, @thebanderson.bsky.social.
We now have another piece of the puzzle, in the form of photographs taken of the center cluster long after the dissolution of the Wall and the unit was out of the Dead’s hands.

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵:
