[the-golden-vanity]

For the uninitiated: this painting.

[roaldamundsen]

did he feel superior looking at it? was it a weird homage? did he feel guilty and want to suffer for it

[roaldamundsen]

sorry now I'm being told the painting is hanging above cook's table runner so was that his dedicated corner to have mental breakdowns or

Arctic Exploration Set by Heyde, c1900s

16-page zine about a long-term interest of mine, atmospheric diving suits. I love these underwater "robots" and their strange & varied histories

Update: You can buy a physical copy of this zine from my shop, if you’d like!

Sometimes I think about the Punch Brothers' live cover of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's the first cover I've heard that isn't a eulogy and isn't mournful. It's angry. It's a demand. Does anyone know where the love of God goes?

And then the furious stomp that comes with the listing of the Lakes. You can't blame them because it's their nature, but this cover is just so full of rage at what they've taken away.

Anyway, it's good. I like it.

I really like how both of them explain things to each other whenever one lack the education on certain subject...Usually no judgement no ridicule. Perhaps some silliness, but..
