Afghanistan Thanksgiving


From The Economist: 
"It will cost $1m to give the 50,000 or so American troops in Afghanistan a proper Thanksgiving—a small price for what Brigadier-General Steven Shapiro, commander of the Defence Logistics Agency Troop Support, calls the most important meal of the year." 

So I guess It wasn't just Thanksgiving Day meals they were sending over to Afghanistan...

From The Washington Post: 
"In a statement Friday morning, the U.S.-led international coalition confirmed it had conducted the airstrike while targeting an “insurgent riding a motorbike.” But the coalition said it has also received reports that the airstrike mistakenly killed a child in addition to the intended target."

This is really sad.

Yayoi Kusama

Ariel Castro

It's really weird to me to see the girls on the news after being locked inside for so many years and seeing them have their own style or sense of fashion. Its kinda fucked up, I know, but its weird to think of them trying to piece together some sort of identity for themselves after being controlled by their kidnapper for so long. Especially Amanda Berry, it's weird, I wonder how she chose to have that style. I would have expected more a "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" vibe, like fucked up goth dark shit with way more piercings and tattoos.

Air Supply - Lost In Love (Live)

This song has been on repeat the last couple of days. It's so sappy but if you can get over that, it's an incredible song. Russell Hitchcock @ 2:55 is something else. You don't hear voices like that anymore. So ridiculous, but so good.

Internet Fasting Camps!!!!

http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/japan-is-opening-internet-fasting-camps-because-500000-students-are-pathologically-addicted

I kind of want to go to one of these. The only thing I am imagining right now is a ton of girls who look like Molly Soda learning how to play baseball for the time. Might actually be a good place to meet women.

Antoni Tudisco

Just found out about Antoni Tudisco. It is blowing my mind. He's only 21 and making some of the coolest and most original art I've seen in awhile.
