not only am i against interpretation im against description of any kind. nothing is "about" anything. words are reductionist symbolic representation. destroy all language. moan when something is good and scream when something is bad

If a single song could act as a crash source in Lana signifiers, this would be it pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks…
Lana Del Rey: “A&W”

Lana Del Rey: “A&W”

The singer-songwriter breezes through every iteration of herself on a chimeric folk-trap ballad that acts as a crash course in Lana signifiers.

के हो गगन थापाले भनेको हाइपर–पोलिटिक्सको युग?

पुरानो राजनीति सदस्यतामा आधारित थियो भने नयाँ राजनीति फलो, सेयर र नेटवर्कमा आधारित हुन सक्छ। पुरानो संगठनले कार्यकर्ता तयार गर्थ्यो; नयाँ माध्यमले प्रभावशाली व्यक्ति तयार गर्न सक्छ।

It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s the Indian ambassador’s farewell tweets For just over four years, India's ambassador to Nepal @navsri6619 was among the most closely observed residents of Kathmandu. But it turns out that in all that time, nobody thought to ask his excellency what he was watching. @anilkathmandu and I have the scoop on how he spent his final weeks inside the embassy compound. kathmandupost.com/art-cultur…
