We learned so much about Steven R. Gilmore's creative process and technical innovations in our discussion with him, and can't wait to share that with you in the book.

Steven R. Gilmore's graphic catalog is arguably why you can recognize industrial music on sight. He defined the visual language of Skinny Puppy and other Nettwerk artists, establishing the aesthetic that the genre has run on ever since. Four decades of 'industrial design' trace back to him.

“Design and graphics took on almost as much importance as the music itself, a vehicle to reinforce our image.” –Patrick Codenys, Front 242 Industrial graphic design collected in one place. Live on @kickstarter.com Aug. 11, backers get early access! Follow the prelaunch page now (link in bio).

Thrilled to pre-launch the campaign for Industrial Music/Graphics, lead title for @signalspress.bsky.social. A trove of album covers and band/label identities, but also a preservation project to document these amazing designers in their own words.

*Why is this so amazing *If you recognized the existent oligarchy rather than pretending that there is some kind of international order, all of this would make sense

We’ve opened the strait that was never closed, ceasing a ceasefire for a war that was never a war, stopping Iran from charging tolls because tolls are illegal, all so Trump can charge his *own* tolls because *his* tolls are legal. This will hurt affordability which is a hoax anyway

Randolph Mantooth is dead but that fuckface is still alive.

Fugazi has decided to make Steve’s entire original mix officially available for the first time in transfers pulled directly from the master tapes. This is a digital-only release and the band is donating its share of the proceeds to Letters Charity"

Just started on an archive project of someone who had been profiled and interviewed a lot, and going through their magazine collection. Some have direct or indirect relevance, but a lot are just magazines that hadn't been tossed. Reminded how much mid-80s media is just abundant cigarette ads.

A plurality of Democratic voters aren't going to suddenly start being socialists between now and November or 2028. However! A plurality of them are already one billion percent done with a party of weak, milquetoast, reach-across-the-aisle-till-they-bite-you losers desperate to return to 2000.

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

Please do this.

I can’t really articulate why this is, but every cardinal looks like a Gary Larson drawing of a cardinal.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

Democrats will likely retake the House and maybe even the Senate this fall. What they *do* with that power depends a lot on the demands we make of them now and the promises for reform and accountability we extract. They -- and the media -- need to see the midterms as a mandate for real change.

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 3mo ago

Man, I read more and more posts on social media sites about how the Dems need to reform the court, impeach people, hold people accountable, completely rebuild institutions, implement universal healthcare, etc. etc. ... and then I look around at the actual elected leaders of the party ...

Oh it's on. #Albini

$11.3 billion to destroy rather than build up is a scandal and evil.

Walter was back, saying “DHS says they are going after the worst of the worst. They are not. They said Renee Good ran over that ICE officer. She did not. They said Alex Pretti was an assassin but he was not so when DHS describes their facility as safe, secure and humane, they are obviously not.”

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Surely this marriage won’t inspire any weirdness on the American right.

shelter is pretty neat technology, keeps people alive and able to live dignified lives

Still have the original vinyl bought in high school (it skips on Time It's Time, so frustrating). One of my favorite albums, hands down.

First saw this song on Radio With Pictures & thought I was the coolest guy in the 7th form when talking about it at school the next day. Talk Talk's album The Colour of Spring is 40 years old today! youtu.be/l3VqAsMXE7o?...
