“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” — Charles Bukowski

The Seventh Art Cinema

by Greg Ross

http://www.kaupokikkas.com/blog/2014/3/7/end-of-the-world-cinema

In the late 1990s, Frenchman Diynn Eadel set out to build an immense open-air movie theater in the desert near Sharm el-Sheikh, at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. He arranged financing in Paris and installed projection equipment, 700 cinema seats, and a generator in the desert.

Unfortunately, the theater was shut down by Egyptian authorities before its planned opening in October 1997. The reasons aren’t clear. It was largely forgotten until Estonian photographer Kaupo Kikkas rediscovered it in 2014.

“Dynn Eadel with Seventh Art attempts to prove that tourism is not necessarily a destructive element and that The Great Theatre of Nature can reconcile us with the elements,” reads an old flyer for the project. “When will be the first Sinai International Film Festival?”

My dad just claimed he'd heard a statistic about more white people being shot by police than people of color. Was it a statistic from the Angry Old Man Internet?

There’s probably a chance that this statistic isn’t even true in absolute numbers (which is actually horrifying if you think about it), but without even checking the actual numbers, I can tell you that your stupid and racist-ass dad is almost certainly ignoring the fact that white people make up about 75% of the population, so if the percentage of police shootings of white people is anything less than 75%, it’s a fucking (huge) advantage to being white. Racists love throwing this shit around because, as a rule, they’re stupid or dishonest or both and know that their supporters are the same.

I was building a microsite for a client who was running a late night infomercial to drive traffic. The following discussion took place regarding the infomercial script and site integration:

Client: So for the URL, we are thinking companynamedotcom.com 

Me: What?

Client: Because the actor in the infomercial will say companyname.com and the viewers will probably think the dot com is part of the name. So we need to add dotcom to the URL so the viewers can reach the site.

The room was silent for a few long seconds.

Me: (joking) Maybe we should just make it “.net” for clarity.  

Sadly this was taken as a serious suggestion and the client wanted us switch the website to companynamedotnet.net.

The Kent State Shootings, May 4, 1940

Forty-five years ago on May 4th, 1970, Ohio National Guard troops opened fire on unarmed students at Kent State University who were protesting the American invasion of Cambodia.  In a period of 13 seconds, the National Guard troops wounded nine and killed four.  The map above, prepared for the Commission on Campus Unrest, shows “the Commons” area on the Kent State Campus, the movement of the National Guardsmen, and the locations where students were shot. 

Two days earlier on May 2, 1970, the mayor of Kent, Ohio, LeRoy M. Satrom,  had written to the Commander of Troops, Ohio National Guard, requesting assistance in restoring order to the city, particularly near Kent State University. This is a photostatic copy of Mayor Satrom’s letter that was submitted to the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest.

Once more unto the rush with another episode of our morning radio program! This one has it all, for sufficient definitions of “all.” Does yours include an examination of Dr. Oz’s credentials, an energy drinks quiz, and a voicemail from the god of lightning? Merriam-Webster’s does! So does this week’s show!
