A very special thanks to Nag on the Lake for bringing us the Satellite of Love’s newest companion Jonah and old friends from Mystery Science Theater 3000 with their Kaiju Rap, subtitled Every Country has a Monster—wherein De La Soul style, they cleverly rhyme a whole host of international bestiaries and tall-tales.

Though no bombshell secrets were revealed when visiting Rabbi Shmuley Boteach shared selfies taken with Dear Leader’s chief strategist and notable human hæmorrhoid posed before a whiteboard in a conference room of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that contained a long list of campaign pledges to make good on, such evidence, we believe, could still be an indictment of sorts by corroborating the regime’s breach of public trust or making the other branches of the US government subaltern to the will of the executive. In any case, do zoom in and scour these images, plus know it always behooves one to be aware of one’s backdrop. Perhaps that bit of workshopping wasn’t meant for public consumption.

Brilliantly promoter Dave Blackhurst, when asked to design a flyer advertising a live music night for a pub in Bridgnorth, realised that the request in text message form spoke for itself and turned the text into the event poster.

Courtesy of Bob Canada and his nephew Kyle, we are treated to a preview of the summer’s block-buster (or lack-lustre) line-up of movies with predictions on how each release will fare in the box-office. What are you most looking forward to seeing? What franchise have you had enough of? Although we don’t think it will be a huge, instant commercial success, we’d wager that Luc Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets will enjoy the longevity of the director’s other films, Léon: The Professional, The Fifth Element and others.

Informed by Geoff Manaugh’s ever excellent BLDGBLOG, we learn that a Norwegian valley due to a collusion of geochemistry is a natural battery.
One of the parallel ranges is rich in copper and the opposite side zinc with a vein of sulphur in between. Even if there is adequate explanation for what’s known as the Hessdalen phenomenon and its ball lightning that were often taken for alien craft or even stranger things, it’s no less remarkable that Nature can prefigure human invention and makes me think of those infernal coal fires around the world or the naturally occurring nuclear fission in the central Africa. I wonder what other genius lies outdoors that we’re unable to recognise yet.
