you will die in 7 days… unless you buy crisp mattman’s book

Maddie (top left in the picture) is an acquaintance of mine. They're being held under terrorism charges and classed as an escape risk, meaning that they are deprived sleep and contact.

One thing I'd like to do one day is write a new version of this book that I got when I was 15. There was a lot of predictable stuff in it - Kerouac, Thompson etc.- but it introduced me to a lot of writers who I wouldn't have read. How about a book of 21st Century Cult Fiction?

Possible Mothman sighting in Manchester. Stay away from the bridges for a few weeks.

So does anyone in the Manchester area want to meet up and go running? I was thinking a weekly thing with a drink after, nothing too taxing.

Langdon and Eden travel to a future-past where TV hosts bring nations to their knees (oh god) with Norman Spinrad's controversial Bug Jack Barron! But first, they discuss the fading power of debuts, early works, and the role of passion in art! soundcloud.com/death-sentence…

Why would anyone want to be 'left alone' with mono-gender hobbies. I'm old enough to remember when there were zero girls in my high school who liked videogames, metal or DnD, and now I meet women all the time who I can enjoy these things with. Men's only spaces suck.
