Hot:

(Yes, hunted to death by ignorant white men.)
One of our affiliates, TorsoPants, is regrettably no longer going to be with us. On December 23rd (Hail Eris) they will close their </html> forever. They are the most openly absurdist tee shirt-ery this side of Fnord. It’s worth a look, especially since these coming days will be [...]

En Flagrante Whatever

By Giania • Jun 18th, 2008 • Category: Fiction

By meatbagwtf • Mar 31st, 2008 • Category: Memes, Potent Potables, Science!

Hot:

One look at our vending machines will tell you that office-dwelling drones like Your Humble Narrator are always seeking out exotic drinkable liquids. Especially if said liquids are reputed to be imbued with energizing or stupefying properties. Maybe it’s the condition of our imprisonment, which in this office typically involves non-ergonomic, castoff cubicles, brutally punishing [...]



Contest is Over!

By Giania • Feb 28th, 2008 • Category: Art

Hot:

…and so is love.

We had precisely zero submissions. I’m speechless, gentle readers, but ultimately not terribly surprised. We are a sparse, busy, and easily distracted lot here at RKNet, and we can only assume that our readership shares at least some of these qualities. Most notably the sparseness, what with the sheer lack of [...]

Hot:

kuro5hin.org posted a story yesterday that at first made me laugh, then made a minor amount of sense, then made me cluck my tongue in irritation with this country's rampant paranoia.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061223/ap_on_fe_st/justo_s_cathedral
This might be the saddest thing I ever read. Here’s this guy, 81 years old. Building this cathedral all by himself. No one who could help in any major way wants anything to do with it. A bunch of people want to tear it down. All he’s got is faith, scattered minor support, and notariety. [...]
