我们其实没有真的长大，我们只是学会了在公众面前如何举手投足而已.
“We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.”
“Men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

Black fireman says he was abused and Tasered by Metropolitan Police →

“Kennedy-Macfoy’s solicitor, Shamik Dutta, of Bhatt Murphy solicitors, voiced concerns at his client’s allegations, saying: “The question many people are bound to ask is why an off-duty firefighter, wearing a pinstriped suit and offering assistance to the police, should have been dragged from his car, shot with a Taser, locked up for many hours and then prosecuted for an offence he did not commit by the very officers he was trying to help.”

Church of the SubGenius Hour of Slack #1356 - Argyle Hour of Slack #1
This episode was Made In Germany With American Parts. Rev. Bucky Argyle, who lives in Germany, unexpectedly sent us this completed show (in both X-rated and PG versions!), leaving a couple of instrumental breaks for credits, which were added in Cleveland as best we could from his rough list of tracks. His source material ranges from 1981 SubGenius tapes with Dr. G. Gordon Gordon to mysterious brand-new tracks snagged from YouTube videos, with a little of everything in between, like oddball songs, devival preaching, and kook clips. A true Media Barrage in the spirit of the early Pleistocene pre-Hour of Slack church tapes. Some of it is Olde SubGenius “best-of” while other audio treasures are completely new to the rest of us. The rant by (?) at the end is a must-hear.
