  • People talking about “normies” while shopping at Kohl’s
  • Actually getting sweaty dancing to Autechre
  • The perfect crime committed with the perfect weapon: the icicle gun
  • A deep meditation on the fact that the idea of wearing a glass jar with a baby in it that can detect enemies has actually been done. And done well.
