Good arbitrarily chosen time-period, those of you still hiding in the bounds of the real! Frible jab glug glug to the rest of you bastards.
BREAKING NEWS; Kurt Vonnegut has at last ascended to a higher plane, where he will find out that everything is even more fucked up - and it is time to distribute some content. By which I mean, here are some links to things that are interesting. Don't get so goddamn excited you burst into flame.
[*]In my opinion, The Cold Inclusive is engaged in the task of mapping the dark and unlit american Mytho-Social tendancies in glorious prose. But he'd probably just say he's writing about sex with celebrities;
"“Number one. It was like riding on the back of a giant sea turtle, across the middle of the ocean at night, while, high overhead, the heat death of the universe begins.”"
[*]Edge magazine's reccomended summer reading is a gift from heaven and a blow to your wallet.
[*]Message to Mr. Cogito, or 'Advice to a reluctant hero', by Zbigniew Herbert;
"be vigilant - when the light on the mountains gives the sign- arise and go
as long as blood turns in the breast your dark star
repeat old incantations of humanity fables and legends
because this is how you will attain the good you will not attain

While theory is important (Buddhism, Ken Wilber, Spiral Dynamics, psychology, and Integral Theory), so is politics, art & poetry, human values, popular culture, and humor. I invite comments, different points of view, and anything that can add to a civil discussion of living in an integral world."
[*]Poet's Graves, a resource for the graves of (mostly) british/scottish/irish poets. Needs a redesign horridly.
[*]Sex In Shanghai - How to get fucked in china;
"getting fucked in China is easy. The motherland offers endless ways to get the fucking of your life, a fucking more or less unimaginable in another country, and all you have to do is know where to look. So I’m going to share some of that information with you."
[*]Last but not least in any way shape or form; a goddamn Geostationary Banana Over Texas.
"...is a art intervention that involves placing a gigantic banana over the Texas sky."
