This article about Marxism at the Policy Review is a fascinating examination of the historical progression of Marxist ideas. Poor Marx. Who reads him anymore? But people sure do cite him a lot. He’s sort of like Nietsche that way, I suspect. Is Marx the Kevin Bacon of political theory?

Take a look at some of these:

sides: rough, smooth, furry,
pointy, soft, gummy

Many fascinating pictures of fungi here; sure to interest a certain someone’s father…

I guess I’ve just been in a cooking mood these days. I don’t really know what’s come over me….

Sequential Tart: Grant Morrison – Punching Holes Through Time

and

Sequential Tart: Grant Morrison – Charging the Sigil

These images are utterly fascinating and groovy.

I’m still trying to imagine how they did it. I’m imagining a camera that’s all lens, but they probably just photographed it in chunks and then pasted all the bits together. It’s incredible, however they managed it.

I’m fascinated by this interview with Grant Morrison or really just any interview with him.

You can read another interview with him here.

Grant Morrison writes comic books and he has a fascinating perspective on the nature of reality. What groovy metaphor/spectacles he has.

You can check out his own official website here.

take a look at this BeYoND THe iLLuSioN site. It’s got boodles of outrageously weird stuff. fun fun fun.

this time the gator’s thrashing in the pool and you folks had better climb out lest you lose your cares and foibles. I don’t understand why the teeth that gnaw you to pieces can ever stop but when they do I am just so bewildered. Even the dairy cows just squeak the day away in their arrogant patois that just leaves everyone breathless for more. forego your scary tales of dark surprise for even cauliflower runs the gamut of all or nothing and so but everyone wants to know more about the 3 kinds of asparagus. can’t you find a more clever answer for you all-or-nothing? What’ve you got that fits inside the keyhole? well stick it in if that’s all you’ve got. There’s no reason to keep storming about the place in all of your despair and in your pink tortoise floaties. be sure to inflate them before diving in. but do not use them in lieu of actual swimming for you will surely be drownded in a trice. Which reminds me of the postman who caught his death of a chill and collapsed post-haste, so to speak. I can’t understand these small children who squat in small boxcars far away. if only they’d see reason and hide in hay barrels!
