The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.Pearl S. Buck
all my people that have mild depression or severe dont worry because! theres someone that loves u! and hes a rapper with gold teeth
One rather unusual instance is provided by the Ô-kuni-tama-jinja (Tôkyô), where a ‘divine’ tree, almost certainly more than a thousand years old, is worshipped for the influence which its bark and also a sort of snail (nina) between its roots can have on the lactation of nursing mothers; there, in two couples of koma-inu, the lioness nurses her young, and that can hardly be a coincidence.Shintô, at the fountain-head of Japan, Jean Herbert, 1967
Imagine that it’s sometime in the future and you could control your lathe while standing 30 feet away. You could turn the lathe on and off or even control it’s speed. Now that’s a futuristic lathe!
But wait a second, you can do that today! Yes, Teknatool, the manufacturers of the Nova line of lathes have released this functionality today!
[Verse 1]
The age of information
I grew up and never blew up
I knew one day I’d be the big dog, Colombia cocaine white
With lavish women surrounding me in my carriage—
only time I call a chick now is Bloody MaryIt’s in the mirror
I’m feelin’ like I’m a champion, lookin’ like I’m a mannequin
Cannabis residue is on my seat from breaking down again
I’m on computers
Profusely
Searching on the internet for answers, give it to me
It’s like I’m married, I’m watching the the bloggers heavily
TV is ran by money, how am I supposed to be?
The truth is near me, I’m hearin’ and I can feel it
But are we dumbing down for technology and the cost of living?
I just forget it, continually smoking heavily
Thinking about the melody, thinking of what’s ahead of me—
We comin’ further than ever to live as strangers and
Somebody got the weapon that’s controlling the human race[Hook]
It’s the age of information… the age of information
(This is the age of information. Everything is on the Internet now. Data! Yes!)[Verse 2]
My desktop is made to sedate me
Thinkin’ logically on my laptop for hours like I’m in college
We honestly asking Google about things that I should learn about
Can’t even get lost in an area so phone overtake it, got a car so never walkin’
They took away places where it’s only the forest
I’m jogging in peace, I got my iPod slappin’ these beats
I’m on a mission to find peace in a position
The cost of living is taxes and jail time without time to find your passion
I’m asking the older people how you make it to your status
They laughin’, because they see reflection while I’m asking questions
And the best gift is to listen, learn math to count your blessings
Used to catch a bus on AC transit, dark nights
Look like 20/20 lens-out of focus
Waiting outside of stores, asking older to buy swishers and they come back with 50 cents—
Now I’m buyin’ liquor, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter—
Youtube— off to shu’the portal off to the average human being
I’m watchin’ people in Japan— making G’s from overseas, Chatroulette
I used to be on the corner where it’s drug roulette, so pick, obviously
The information, like, art, it hurt the race
Because we judge before we classify
It’s like a case human race’s failed
Even though we in space we still hate ourselves
The age of information is hell[Outro]
When I said… that information has hurt the race? This age of information has hurt the race, and you know why? Because all we do is judge. All the movies, all the Internet, all we do is classify people. Now I feel the Internet has ruined the human race. Even though, you know, we can fly, and cars and technology has gotten better, I feel the the human race is not progressed as much as we should be. How come the human race isn’t progressing as fast as technology has? Yeah, we’re gonna be staying on the moon, but there’s still gonna be races. So, in the end, are we really winning — these nuclear bombs, nuclear war? What’s going on? This is Lil B, “The Age of Information,” 2010. Shouts out to the East Coast, West Side—Thank you, Based God

This is a river, in Tokyo. You can find it in satellite photos easy enough; it runs next to the train tracks for a while, as they exit Shibuya station to the south. You can follow it, in those photos, for miles and miles, without really seeing— because not once does sunlight reach it. You can’t follow it to the north, because it runs underground.
