"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!"

"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"

"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."

"Nobody's there?"

"Nobody's not there!"

"So everyone's there?"

"Everybody but nobody!"

I'm rather disappointed that this website did not ever adopt "the police shall receive no sandwiches" as a shorthand for ACAB

Brutalist maze, Seattle

[3liza]

its called Freeway Park and while it is one of the most interesting single examples of Brutalism in the united states and im proud of it, it is so poorly designed in terms of public safety that it has been renovated twice(?) but continues to be geographically troubling, as its design has facilitated a lot of murders over the years. it was the subject of a funny but gruesome article in the STranger in 2002 called Topography of Terror. the city doesnt keep official tally of how many murders or assaults have happened IN the park but two men in their 30s were stabbed nonfatally during a robbery there earlier this year, for example.

Suspect that building mazes is perhaps not conducive to public safety, outside of minotaur isolation scenarios.

Does anyone else think it’s funny they are using “Carl Busch” instead of CSM? Not even Carl Gerhard Busch - just Carl Busch.

No one calls him that 😆

I assume they think excluding mention of cigarettes is more child-friendly. It’s just so funny.

The river rises!

Siblings! We have gathered here today to celebrate the finale of our most venerated Silt Verses; as the Trawlerman spoke through Jon & Muna so many years ago so he speaks through us today and orders us to deliver this gift to you: Rejoice! He asks, for we have appeased him with this offering.

(in a hushed voice he thanks everyone for their wonderful contributions. a meal this filling will last him for an entire year….. probably)

He invites you to share the table with him:

Will you take the offer?
