    A friend of mine lives in Vermont. He told me about a house that used to give our little black-and-white comics full of Republican-flavour Christian propaganda that were so bad he actually thought they were parody. But, yeah, fuck all that shit. If it doesn’t make your spit hurt, what’s the point?






  • No, you’ll fuck your back up.

    But, seriously, it is amazing. When I was a kid the school had an already very old computer that could run the BBC Domesday Project, a mid-1980s snapshot of life in the UK using the latest (for the time) multimedia technology, which included a bespoke LaserDisc player. By the time I used it, it was already failing and by the early naughts it was essentially lost media, with virtually no working hardware left and the Laserdiscs themselves starting to perish with age. Meanwhile, the original Domesday manuscript - written in the 1086 IIRC - still exists: coddled, protected and safe, but still there.
