1990Future

We made our first record. Sounds like the '80s, played in the '90s ... now.

Thinking rock? Maybe. We're playing the Cavern tonight in Toronto. 10pm. Let's get pensive. #1990future Photo: @skin_mf

My first "portrait" ever. This is Sean right before our show a few weeks back. Can you tell playing music makes him happy? #1990future

“The Road You’re On” 

[slaughterhouse90210]

“And when the event, the big change in your life, is simply an insight—isn’t that a strange thing? That absolutely nothing changes except that you see things differently and you’re less fearful and less anxious and generally stronger as a result: isn’t it amazing that a completely invisible thing in your head can feel realer than anything you’ve experienced before? You see things more clearly and you know that you’re seeing them more clearly. And it comes to you that this is what it means to love life, this is all anybody who talks seriously about God is ever talking about. Moments like this.”

― Jonathan Franzen, The Corrections

Burn local fossil fuels

Ban bathtime for all but your filthiest child

Don’t dispose of old batteries and electronics in the regular trash; put them in that box in the garage so you can deal with them someday

Carpool with another person to destroy the only precious moment of solitude you have in your day

More.

A young Harrison Ford is the only man I would ever consider marrying.

@CamilleSeaman for @icp | Today we are going over to the far side of Antarctica in the Ross Sea. This image is of John Palmer who is acting as helicopter landing operator. On the Russian ship I/B Kapitan Klebnivov we are sending one of our two old Russian helicopters out over the icebergs in the distance to observe their imminent collision. For me this image sums up the other worldly nature of Antarctica. I could well be on some distant frozen planet in a sci-fi story but this awesome view is right here on our only home in a very harsh cold dark solar system. Let’s appreciate it for the lovely place Earth is. #camilleseaman #climatechange #antarctica #rosssea #klebnikov #ice #iceberg #icp #icebreaker #ship #otherworld #onlyoneearth #photography #meltingaway

There are American presidents who have come in for less scrutiny than Lena Dunham. There are heads of major banks whose work to erode the possibility of middle and working class stability in the United States has drawn less criticism thanGirls. There are sitting Supreme Court justices, men who have recently disemboweled the Voting Rights Act, whose intelligence has been insulted less sharply than that of a 28-year-old woman who created and stars in a show on HBO.

People Love to Hate and Love to Love Lena Dunham.

If only people spent as much time scrutinizing Congress as they do obsessing over Dunham.

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

"I think the act of carrying something that is normally found in our bedroom out into the light is supposed to mirror the way I’ve talked to the media and talked to different news channels, etc," Emma continues in the full video which you can watch here.

I linked to something about this project on Twitter a couple weeks ago but I like it even better in gif form.
