The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

It was an MLM convention. Anyone whose Dad ever sold Amway knows what this was. The downlines have tapped out their networks and are dropping off, garages full of product they can’t move and broken homes waiting for them when they get back.

“We’ve found that whenever we buy a bit of gear we try and lay off it for six months, until we’ve got used to using it. It’s only then that we start doing things that are actually worth using; if we start using something immediately, we just do the corniest stuff with it.”

The iconic Warp Records’ duo spoke to us back in 1994, and shared their attitude when it came to getting to grips with the initial gear they relied on to concoct their influential body of work
