Sargeist – Unbound (Vinyl)

‘Unbound’ is both important and imposing as a black metal album in 2018 for its undeniable melodic scent and violently classic expression. It is poignant reminder of the effective thrust and utter nihilistic furor that black metal holds without complication or feigned modernism.

On this 9/11, in #gratitude #3Goodthings #ThreeGoodThings

Grateful I returned home to my family 23 years ago.

Grateful that people still remember and reverently pay respects to those who were lost.

Grateful the #WTC was rebuilt, not as it was so to ignore or forget what happened, but bigger and better, acknowledging and in homage to those terrible events.

The world changed that day and not for the better. It’ll never be the same, we must go on.

TIL that Minoru Yamasaki who designed the World Trade Center #WTC was born in #Seattle to Japanese immigrants and went to Garfield High and the UW.

He designed the Science Pavilion for the World's Fair in Seattle in 1962, that became the Pacific Science Center #PacSci (the nation's 1st science & tech center, also TIL).

He also designed the Rainier Tower.

Fun fact: law required that the Fair's buildings be used as govt warehouses after the Fair. Yamasaki said no.

Continued thread

Ce qu’on regroupe sous le vocable de #cryptographie existe depuis les débuts de la civilisation : dissimuler une information.

Au début, on utilisait des principes de #stéganographie : on cachait le message.

- Encres sympathiques au jus de citron

- Messages écrits sur le crâne des messagers, dont on rasait la tête au préalable

- Messages écrits sur des œufs durs

- Messages cachés dans des jpg (#911 #wtc)

Etc…souci : si le message est trouvé, son sens est révélé, ballot.

@DemocracyMattersALot #GeorgetownUniversity, #SyracuseUniversity, #StJohnFisherUniversity, #LoyolaUniversity Maryland and #TheCitadel honor #RudyGiuliani who was a key leader of the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He also condemned hundreds of people (in the 2nd #WTC to fall) to a horrible death on #September11th when he ordered them to “Remain at your desks!” AFTER the 1st tower was struck, and we KNEW that other planes were hijacked.

⬆️ This is so-called ‘America’s Mayor’?🤔
