// Middle Kids use their powerfully raw voice and plodding drums and guitar to demonstrate exactly how close they are to completely losing it on Bend.

// Vampire Weekend returns by juxtaposing baroque strings and piano with dissonant synth screeches to highlight the feeling that life is slipping away on Capricorn.

// Heems, Lee Scott, and Cool Calm Pete take turns trading bars and boasts across some of Lapgan's ominous Punjabi production on Baba Ganoush.

// Idles utilize droning guitars and skittering percussion to put our nerves right on the precipice in order to say no gods, no masters on Grace.

// Chromeo cook up a funk lord ballad about their current paramour making us of the ol' "leave behind" trick to see them again on Personal Effects. Spotify Playlist YouTube Music Playlist

An 👁ld M😇nk Saying ~

🌟✨

"Discipline" is

organising yourSelf & streamlining the body-mind-soul into 1 unified harmonious mode, har pal, har din, which then propels from within a high spirited enthusiastic child-like zest, energy & approach to everything that is done... simply finding enjoyment in the action-process & living it up in the eternal present with focus & pep. So "discipline" is really _Freedom_ . Or _Kaivalya in sanskrit . Or what Zen Buddhism call _Satori_ ❣️

🌟✨

Mk a gr8 blessd day💫 Peace & cheers🤗🪔✨🎊

Ghost Kitchen (brought to you by criminal entrepreneur, Red Hood)

Danny’s got the easiest job in Gotham.

He works as a fry cook at a shoddily-run, independent burger joint. Hardly anyone comes in, despite prices being criminally low, and portions insanely large, and while the manager looks like the average tough-as-nails ex-con, he lets Danny mess around in the kitchen whenever the place is empty. (Which is often. This place has to be the city’s hidden gem or something!)

Mr. Manager’s the only one ever there with Danny, except for sometimes when his buddies come over to smoke and play cards. Danny would find it shady, except part of his job is not to ask questions. Literally, he was told during the interview.

(It was a weird interview. Why would they need to hire someone who’s been in a gunfight before? Like, he has, but Gotham’s idea of “hirable qualities” is so bizarre.)

So instead he whips up some killer burgers with the frozen ingredients, and basks in the praise as the guys tell him he shouldn’t have, he does too much for this joint, ain’t that friendly!

Now, Danny’s a chef on the newer side. As a teen he’d preferred the look of Nasty Burger over anything with Michelin stars, and he only really took up cooking after Jazz moved out for college. But just like ecto-exposure used to turn the groceries sentient, Danny’s low-level ecto signature imbues all his food with something historically haunted Gothamites just love! And Danny’s never been one to half-ass a job when it makes people happy.

With fresher produce, real meat, Danny’s sure he can take his dishes to the next level. It takes a couple months of badgering, but his manager finally agrees to contact the mysterious store owner, who keeps the place going, despite profits Danny knows have to be in the red.

Danny spends the morning prepping. He pours his heart into his food, eager to impress. The big boss will be here soon, and he wants to prove that despite the dangerous location, this place has real potential!

It isn’t until the Red Hood shows up that Danny realizes he’s been working for a money laundering scheme.

people seriously pretending EEAAO is overrated suddenly bc it swept awards? it swept awards largely because it is very very very good. I cried like someone who's just had a religious revelation BOTH times I watched it bc it touched something raw and real and beautiful but it was also just very, very funny. everyone's performance kills and the concept is creative and interesting and doesn't distract from the emotional core. you guys are just contrarian.

nothing makes me more insane than the phrase "selling your body" btw. like was i not also selling my body at every other job i've had where i had to be on my feet all day, lifting boxes, working in a warehouse, etc. why is it that sex work is uniquely labeled as "selling your body" while every other job is sorted into another category, no matter how much that job might have a physical impact on your body. lmao.

He vanished and a sad advertisement appeared in The Sydney Herald.

Unless Mr. WILLIAM UHR, now, or late of the Gazette Office, calls at Mrs. Butler's, No. 1, Macquarie-place, and pays his bill for board and lodging, his clothes, trunks, or anything else in her possession, will be sold by auction, to discharge the debt, fourteen days after this notice.
