David Shrigley, who is also a secret babe
"The Muni system doesn’t appear to work very well, and it seems to be
largely populated by mentally ill people who smell funny. That I don’t
like very much. I’ve spent quite a few hours trying to go to places on
the Muni system, and then I realized, you know what? Fuck the Muni
system. I’m getting a cab."

As the world turns
Peter's Court, Palace, 1 August 1914The above telegram is from Tsar Nicholas II of Russia to his cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, days after the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia and the mobilization of the Russian, German, and French armies, i.e., the beginning of World War I. If we've learned anything from WWI and the first half of the 20th century, it should be this: beware of men with withered arms (see also: Joseph Stalin).
Sa Majesté l'Empereur
Berlin
I received your telegram. Understand you are obliged to mobilise but wish to have the same guarantee from you as I gave you, that these measures do not mean war and that we shall continue negociating for the benefit of our countries and universal peace deal to all our hearts. Our long proved friendship must succeed, with God's help, in avoiding bloodshed. Anexiously [sic], full of confidence await your answer.

Summer so far
Dancing to "Chick Habit" and getting burrito discounts and drinking vodka and...water? on someone's rooftop and the hour and a half commute to work and reading The Economist on my phone and "avocado al fresco" sandwiches from Whole Foods and backpedaling and eating not-very-good kettle corn because I was desperate and dipping my entire body in coconut oil and yellow legal pads and not sleeping and City of Quartz by Mike Davis and offline Spotify playlists and heels everyday and Tupac bandana ties and buying cigarettes from the donut shop and arguments and palm tree purses and heavy dinners and Culver City and being driven in someone's car very quickly down the freeway while I exhale cigarette smoke out the window and feel content.
