Sorry I wasn't listening to you, I was thinking about the Duke of Wellington's personal 11-foot-tall statue of nude, totally jacked Napoleon.

nothing more disappointing than a shower with low water pressure. i don't want to feel like a wet sad beast left out in the rain i want to be power washed.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like "if you think you might lose, avoid doing that", "being outnumbered is bad generally", and "consider lying."

One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.

George Lois and Carl Fischer, Cover of Esquire, November 1970

"The November 1970 issue was a Molotov cocktail. An excerpt from a book by John Sack of the story of Lieutenant William L. Calley Jr., the soldier facing trial for the My Lai massacre. Lois’ cover was a masterpiece. It made his great Sonny Liston as Santa Claus cover look like a Disney cartoon. The image showed Calley in uniform, surrounded by Vietnamese children. He was the nation’s Frankenstein monster. And in the photo, Lois had him smiling.”- Frank DiGiacomo, Vanity Fair

“This was the most controversial of them all. John Sack, he was writing a book about [William] Calley, who was instrumental in killing 500 men women and children at My Lai. Hayes told me they were doing an excerpt of the book, and I knew right away what I wanted: A picture of Calley sitting with Vietnamese kids in his lap, and I wanted him with a shit-eating grin. I knew it was going to be controversial. It was the only shoot I ever did when I really bullshitted a guy; I gave him my war stories from Korea, I said I’d gotten into a situation in Korea like the one in My Lai, I lied, and I won him over. And the kids just looked at the camera, and I said, ‘Calley, give me a big shit-eating grin!’ And he did it. It ran and, I’m telling you, people went crazy in America.”- Lois
