can anyone tell me more about walking man, as in the defunct/iconic san francisco label? i feel like i missed out on that cultural moment and would like to contextualize it for myself.

here's the old catalogue for reference:

This isn't a very thought out post but there's a special place in my heart for Reza Negarestani. He's a total kook and I don't think I learn much from reading his work, other than some very dry humor at times. I was into speculative realism a couple of years ago after reading some pataphysics (the s...

eli7 sorry if i'm just being dumb but what is the difference between semiology and semiotics? from my understanding isn't semiotics just semiology in which the sign is one-removed from the phenomena itself, to acknowledge that the signified object is a not coherent/singular object? if semiotics is ...

That's a great idea, much appreciated. I wonder if you have anything about politics or relations with Waste? If anything springs to mind... I'm quite interested in human-waste relationships and it's obvious links with climate change. Naka_ I'd look into the work of Robin Nagel (her book is Picking ...

why is simplicity demanded of the humanities and only the humanities, even at the highest level of scholarship? presumably i wouldn't be able to understand a graduate level paper about quantum physics, but that wouldn't lead me to accuse the author of being needlessly obscure or jargonistic. i thin...

So what does everything think about the Sokal Hoax?

sknss , I know the Israeli version of purple cabbage salad that's served with falafel etc., I think it's the same thing. Super simple but the key is to cut the cabbage very thin and let it marinade for a few hours so it softens. Here's how we've always done it: cabbage juice of 1-2 lemons white vin...

pretty shite. though if i do wear giant pants, i just wear giant socks and tuck my right pant leg in, though that looks doofy as hell. also, when i first started riding i got my dana lee pant leg aggressively stuck in my chain and ripped them all the way up the leg. so yea, dont do that.
