Most of my favorite albums seem to have come out in both 1988 and 1989, but 1990 was the year I turned 16. The Good Son, by Nick Cave, is probably tied with Heaven & Las Vegas by The Cocteau Twins. Still a favorite. Live, Mr Cave is still amazing.

4 quarts of canned apples, 6 quarts of frozen peaches, and 14 pints of canned chicken stock leftover from earlier in the week. ~3k steps to do all of that—which feels incredibly dystopian to care about, but for a day mostly spent in my kitchen, that feels impressive!

...and, the sexy-a-f Beats alternatives, are $200. Which, sure I could probably afford if I really wanted them, but FTN.

Market fuckery is 47's auto-erotic masturbation. 9 of the 10, here, were on his watch.

Ok, this is terrifying. The passive/aggressive tone just inches it past difficult to believe, to credible. Please pay attention.

Hmm. A statement from The Kennedy Center:
"Only 16% of the total operating budget, is provided by Federal grants. Support for the Center’s artistic programming comes from ticket sales, donations, rental income, and other revenue sources."

Brilliant packaging design. A ToS on my protein powder: a dystopian hellscape ritual to impose upon food.
Maybe toilets in public restrooms could someday require I complete a CAPTCHA for access to toilet paper?

Police departments "can't afford" to process rape kit backlogs, so a non-profit had to be founded to do that—but when a CEO is targeted in a slaying they can get an excavator to grab a backpack—while testing every speck of dirt around it. Seriously, WTF?!
