A perfect ‘Columbine‘ anthem….
“Pumped up Kicks” by Foster The People
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks*
You’d better run, better run,
Outrun my gun…
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run,
faster than my bullets…
* (sports shoes like Air Jordans)
Faster than my
bullets…
Liquid light. I can scarcely imagine it.
What type of light is “regular” light anyway? I have a hard time seeing it as solid! I’m unsure, from this article, which way we’re moving on the density scale.
What do you think, Sadie? Dan?
My son, John, first made me aware of XXXTentacion two years ago via the rapper’s song, Garrett’s Revenge:
“I’ve dug two graves for us my dear, cant pretend that I was perfect, leaving you in fear, oh man, what a world the things I hear…If i could act on my revenge, than oh would I?” XXXTentacion
I think it’s one of his better song’s, and although my opinion is worth little, I’m still impelled to say:
Had X lived a few more decades, I believe he would have matured into a strong and recognized political and social voice.
Instead, we lost him to the Dark Side at age 20.
After viewing this documentary, you may never again see Jack Nicholson’s performance in The Shining, nor the movie itself, in the same way. The documentary’s general thesis maintains that Stanley Kubrick used The Shining as a vehicle to admit his role in helping to fake the moon landings.
“Room 237” refers to a room in the mountain lodge where the action of The Shining takes place, suggesting the 237 thousand miles mean distance from Earth to the moon as it was reckoned in 1980, according to one of the narrators. The actual distance has since been revised slightly upwards to an average of 238,855 miles, according to NASA, which the public still seems to trust.
The film doesn’t claim the US never went to the moon. It simply argues that what people saw in July of 1969 was faked, a result of what’s known in the film industry as “Front Screen Projection“. It works by projecting scenes behind actors in which the actors appear to move.
It also claims that some of the moon anomalies noted by Richard C. Hoagland were actually reflections caused by the Front Screen Projection process rather than being the gleaming alien towers that Hoagland excitedly theorized.
