"Our old buddy the bomb got blowed up. We're bereft. It was a friendly, common or garden whizz-bang. We used to tap our trowel on it for good luck. It was only a bit of unexploded, misplaced military ordnance. Where's the harm in that? It's wokery gone mad"

Actually ... nab our thing tomorrow. It can wait. Resist the urge today.

This Friday, November 24th, you have one simple task: BUY NOTHING.

Resist the deep-seated lure of things you don’t need, the short-lived excitement of novelty, the fleeting illusion of control.

That involuntary impulse is fueled by the endless drone of every last ad, email, commercial, and celebrity, all whispering coded instructions into your ears to buy buy buy.

Resist.

"Jesus. Fu**in' raging, epithet music comin' out of every car, every store, every person's head. They don't have noisy radios on, they got earphones; like, "motherf**kin', cocksuckin', son of a bitch. Lot of aggression. Lot of anger, lot of rage. Everybody walks around, they're walkin' advertisements. They've got advertisements on their clothes, you know? Walking around with "Adidas" written across their chests, '49'ers on their hats. Jesus. It's pathetic. It's pitiful. The whole cultures' one unified field of bought-sold-market researched everything, you know. It used to be that people fermented their own culture, you know? It took hundreds of years, and it evolved over time. And that's gone in America. People now don't even have any concept that there ever was a culture outside of this thing that's created to make money. Whatever's the biggest, latest thing, they're into it. You just get disgusted after a while with humanity for not having more, kind of like, intellectual curiosity about what's behind all this jive bu****it". [R. Crumb in 'Crumb', 1994]
