Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Écrire des scénarios de jeu de rôle est parfois la meilleure façon de découvrir de façon inattendue une ville ou plutôt ce qu'elle aurait pû être.

Vous connaissez cet endroit ?
