I'm at Urban Outfitters right now browsing all the hipster books and for the life of me can't locate the QBN Set Meme coffee table book :D
- Imagine that haha. I'd keep mine in the toilet though. I know a couple of people at Taschen but it may be a little lowbrow for them.fadein11
- I thought Taschen went bust?detritus
- How the fuck did i read about some unrelated by similarly monikered company going under? https://www.retail-i…detritus
- But seriously -- the QBN Set Meme coffee table book MUST happen! LOLKrassy
- lol det - 1. no they haven't (well their website is still up. 2. I don't know anyone at Taschen, as if I was going to ask them.fadein11

I've been listening to this band Cigarettes After Sex for a couple months now without seeing a photo or live performance video of the band and all along thought the vocalist is a female voice.
Just found out it is a dude.
Mind = Blown
- Mazzy Star did it better. ALthough CaS is a more modern production thus sounding crispersince1979
- I enjoy both bands. The Mazzy Starr tambourine sound is def in CaS' songs. But again -- it's the vocals that are blowing my mind! :DKrassy
- again... Hope Sandoval did it better :/since1979
- just my opinion thosince1979
- when I was a child, I was sure Van Morrison was a black woman having never seen the album coversmonospaced

I'm a little thrown for a loop over the last weekend to discover one of my high school besties has risen through the levels of a sex cult and is basically #2 in the ranks. she's been accused of keeping slaves, branding them with her initials, paticipates and enforces starvation diets and corporal punishment and blackmail? Say what?????? As a black woman slavery of any kind and branding them to show ownership is seriously problematic. I really couldn't even make this stuff up, it's too bananas.
I've heard of NXIVM before, however Allison's name was never attached to reports the I read. It definately sounded like an "industry cult" that prayed on entertainment an artist types looking to network and help their careers. It reminded me of Scientology with more of a self help/fitness/networking/social climbing spin that a tipping actress like her would be attracted to. A lot of rich New York socialites and old money are involved. So, I can see how it would be attractive to some looking for a way in and up in certain circles they weren't born into.
I am so shocked by all of this. Clearly, their leader has brainwashed all these women to believe somehow they're saving the world. It’s wild what desperation, a craving to belong, or a need for ordained purpose will drive people to. smh

What the fuck?!kona - isn't dailymail like the national enquirer of the UK? they also link to the sun. not to downplay your post, but I thought shit on those sites was all fake.lvl_13
- *were.
or at least wildly distorted.lvl_13 - the nytimes did a pretty crazy story.
https://mobile.nytim…shellie - and, there's a series of videos with her and the founder on YouTube that are creepy afshellie
- I almost posted this in the Sexual Harassment thread the other day, but wasn't sure it fit.i_monk
- The daily mail and the Sun are not fake. You say 'all fake' like they're the onion or something. Not so... it's real news, just very biased and provocativeset
- Also I apologise for being provocative but what does being black have to do with disliking what this woman does?set
- I'd suggest that most people that aren't black would find slavery and branding human beings as problematic too....set
- thanks for the clarification set and shellie. that's pretty fucked up indeed.lvl_13
- set. im not sure i can explain to you how slavery and branding and master/slave relationships could be troubling for an American black person if you don'tshellie
- already get it. but i would say there's huge communities of ppl who are totally okay with that. you won't find many african americans involved.shellie
- and since it sounds she is the one who introduced branding and corporal punishment in this cult, i wonder what kinda friend i really had, that is all.shellie
- I just wonder why race needs to be brought in to this in any way at all, is all. Are you suggesting no black cultures have ever had slaves?set
- What you're saying could certainly be perceived as utterly racist. Certainly if it was the other way round...set
- im confused. im told probably at least once a month that black Africans should get over slavery and that it doesn't effect black Americans today.shellie
- maybe you don't know what its like to be black and be faced with the after effects of slavery directly on my own family for instance. ive spoken at length aboutshellie
- this with other black people. there are cultural nuances you may not understand.shellie
- and I'm not saying no black cultures have ever had slaves. im talking about now, today in America.shellie
- I didn't tell you to get over it or that it doesn't affect people today.set
- Stop bringing race in to every discussion.set

So last week the wife, our 7 month old daughter and I moved into our new (potentially forever) home. It's and old building that really just needs gutted and refurbished.
Had an architect in yesterday discussing what we will do and had a home energy specialist in telling us the best way to heat our home. We are interested in using renewables as you can get most of the money back from Government grants and incentives if done right.
Architect reckons that this time next year it'll be done.
About 4 months of that time will be waiting for our pissy local council to approve the plans as they are so f*cking slow!Just means we have to live for a year in a scabby old house with no central heating and a crap hot water system.
Will be well well worth it though! :)
- heck yeah man! post pics, I love that kind of stuff!!!kona
- I'll definitely keep track of all work done and maybe post up progress :)microkorg
- One rule, always double the amount of time the architect says. In renovation hell as we speaktank02
- In the long run, a year will seem like nothing. Hope all goes well!stoplying

Just had a call from a client's client who I cut some branding stuff for a couple of months back.
I never invoiced them.
That's a bit odd for me - I'm not the most capable business-type in the world, but I'm pretty on it about getting mah monies, but here? Nyet, Nein, no.
Now I'm slightly irritated at myself, obviously, but slightly miffed at my client who never made a peep about it.
I'm Scottish - how in sweet fuck could I forget about money?

I'm such a scared pussy... got my iPhone X @ around 11am this morning but have barely opened the box. I think I lifted the phone out of the box for a couple secs to see what was underneath but that's it... still wrapped in it's plastic covers... nearly 6pm and I haven't gone near the thing.
I've broken about 4 iPhones... I have this industrial Otterbox thing coming tomorrow to wrap this sucker in... but as it's not here yet no touching... no playing... def. no setting it up / activating until I can actually pick it up and confidently drop it down the stairs which will more than likely happen w/in the first hour of activation.
... it sure is purty tho...

Was on a recent flight a few weeks ago.
It was a short flight and a nominal price to bump up to extra legroom. Didn't really think of it til' the way back.
2 girls sat next to me. The big one took the seat in the middle, I'm at the window and her friend in the aisle.
I tried to reach my for my seatbelt, and it was under her ass. "Sorry, it's the curves" she said. Clearly uncomfortable about her size.
I excused myself to use the restroom and just asked her if she'd like to take the window seat (she was clearly falling asleep and not having a comfy experience doing so) They all seemed relieved!
Her friend took the middle seat and I took the aisle.Why didn't her fucking BFF give her the aisle seat in the first place? I don't get it. Why would you want to squeeze yourself in next to a stranger if you don't have to.
- Maybe her friend didn't want to pry a seatbelt from the big ones curves either.IRNlun6

Please help my Monday-addled brain.
Caps are just to highlight.Copy:
"... protecting the Whananaki Estuary and THE surrounding ecosystem."
Client change:
"... protecting the Whananaki Estuary and ITS surrounding ecosystem."
Client is wrong. Right?
- i think the client might be actually right. But English is not my mother language.oey
- ta. I'm not sure, but it's Monday so I am probably wrong.MrT
- the client is correct if they believe the estuary "possesses" the surrounding ecosystem, you are correct if you believe they are separate entities.robotron3k
- thx it sounds like a style/preference thing. I'll be a good boy and do what I'm told.MrT
- Neither are wrong, but the client's makes a stronger connection between the estuary and ecosystem.i_monk
- ^OBBTKN
- The copy reads better and makes more sense in context. It's a given that the ecosystem they are describing surrounds the estuary.face_melter
- Both are correct and essentially mean the same thing. Client is wasting your time ;)yuekit
- Client is right.monospaced
- Save yourself the headache and just use their copyOP31
- I'd change it into TITS. Because Monday.rabattski
