If you play this with the sound off you’ll think it’s, like, Sigur Ros. But then you turn the sound on and it’s not and that’s great, because it’s not even like the first Dirty Projectors album.

I know we passed endnote 24 last week, but I want to return to it. And I will do so because when I type things here you have to read them poop ha ha ha I made you read poop.— Avery Edison: Infinite Summer » Not the Best Student
blinksoflife and una bella vita (via classics):
To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about pride and it’s not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss and it’s not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free.
Wow, am I the only young person who never heard about Flight 007 before? Soviet jets shot down a civilian airliner in 1983 after it strayed into USSR airspace, killing 269 people including a U.S. Representative.
The Soviets (who at first didn’t admit to shooting down the plane) maintained that the U.S. was testing them, and that they’d also detected a U.S. spy plane. (They also claim the civilian 747 ignored several warnings and orders from interceptor planes.) The U.S. banned the Soviet airline from landing in the country for the next three years. (This made some people consider moving UN headquarters to another country.)
The upside, though, is that Reagan ordered the military to open up the soon-to-be-launched GPS to civilians.
The hot new idea among people who think about “journalism,” and the sanctity thereof: let’s ban linking, on the internet! Let’s also ban wheels, in order to save the horse industry. Let’s also ban talking about things!—
