"Marconi plays the mamba" is a pun on La Bamba, the Mambo, and the Black Mamba, alluding not only to (radio as) the snake in the garden of eden but the roots of rock and roll in r+b.

"The lettering was more stylized, utilizing Futura, a font designed by Paul Renner in 1927—a little teutonic joke, perhaps, and a nod to Renner’s association with the Bauhaus. Kraftwerk saw themselves as a continuation of a lineage that went back to German expressionism and the Bauhaus."

Apparently Target has discovered it enjoys being boycotted and wants even more boycotting
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Just in case anyone selling designs on #threadless sees this — please don't limit your fabric colors! I've come across many designs that I didn't buy a shirt/sweater with simply because the artist decided against black/blue/etc.

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.
