![The image is a vintage postcard depicting an expansive industrial landscape. In the foreground, there's lush greenery and foliage with prominent trees on either side of what appears to be a dirt path leading through the scene. The middle ground shows a serene pond surrounded by well-maintained gardens or parkland, which reflects buildings across its surface. Several people can be seen near this area, possibly enjoying leisurely activities.
The background features an industrial complex with multiple multi-storied buildings displaying various architectural styles and sizes. A distinctive high chimney from one of the factories is emitting a plume of smoke into the sky, indicating active operations within. The architecture suggests late 19th or early 20th-century design, possibly indicative of factory buildings during that period.
In the far distance beyond this industrial complex, there's an expansive body of water reflecting sunlight and distant landforms, suggesting proximity to a larger river or estuary. A mix of residential structures with pitched roofs is visible near the front right corner, blending into the more commercial backdrop. Overall, the image captures a blend of natural beauty juxtaposed against early 20th-century industrial development in England.
The postcard bears text indicating its origins and likely function as memorabilia or for promotional purposes [...]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/907/332/065/963/339/original/ed955df1493a0a49.jpeg)
Does anyone in the #Mastodon #books hivemind know where one might find a *complete* collection of the #Barsoom novels of Edgar Rice #Burroughs?
This track is the last from a CD compiled from the audio archive of Psychic TV, Genesis P-Orridge and the Transmedia Foundation. It is intended to be multi-functional and it is here to be re-abused through you. The raw materials, loops, sonic maps and trance routines included may be listened to as a Kaotic entertainment; as a navigational exploration of brain and expectation; or as a resource to be sampled, reworked, adjusted and processed by other individuals for their own personal works and their own ends. Any and all interpretations are valid. This NOT an indexed and formularised "Sampling CD". Rather, it is a description from a different perspective, of the eclectic and unique world which Psychic TV and their Closet Collaborators have inhabited in various media and incarnations from 1950 to the present. This is an Electric Newspaper, a speculative publication deprogrammed to preserve and make accessible to the maximum number of participating travellers, multiple brain-escapes, and audio-collisions in order to give the greatest potential stimulation and communication to all.
The interview included at the end of this publication is an Electric Newspaper exclusive. Never before published anywhere as either text, or audio. In it Genesis P-Orridge questions Brion Gysin about his various interactions with legendary Rolling Stone Brian Jones in Morocco in the 1960's, as part of his extensive research prior to recording the classic PTV single "Godstar". The interview was conducted in Hackney, London on the 10th July 1985. To our knowledge this is the only authentic document stating exactly how Brion Gysin experienced these events, previously only mythologised in both the Astory of Jajouka, and books on The Rolling Stones. On the original cassette box Brion wrote afterwards...
...NIL BONUM MORIENDI DIC ERUNT.

Horror Hospital (1973)
Produced in 1973. Directed by Antony Balch (who worked extensively with William S. Burroughs). Starring Michael Gough, Robin Ask, Vanessa Shaw. A pair of friends on a british rail trip soon find themselves in a secluded mansion with a slew of bizarre characters and an even more bizarre secret.
Robin Askwith (just prior to his shift into a sex comedy franchise) is a stressed out singer with a pop group. He decides to go for some R&R at a country retreat. He hooks up with Vanessa Shaw on the train journey in, and once they arrive at the retreat they find it's a bizarro world inhabited by mute bikers, lobotomised robots, a malignant dwarf and a mad doctor (Michael Gough) in a wheelchair!

"Let Me Hang You" by #Burroughs.
What should I say? A superb album. A posthumous release, but he's as fresh as ever. Texts are from "Naked Lunch" and music perhaps added later on, but it's a pretty good mix and a great listen. It's almost sounds a like a live show. One of my favorite reciters.
Livre INTERZONE William Burroughs 9âŹ
Dispo ici: https://www.la-petroleuse.com/fr/romans-litterature/3321-livre-interzone-burroughs.html
En 59 est publié Le Festin Nu, qui révÚle le talent de Burroughs. A l'origine, le manuscrit s'intitulait Interzone. Le Festin Nu était le résultat d'un choix parmi le millier de pages d'un matériau que Burroughs répartit ensuite entre La machine molle, Le ticket qui explosa et Nova Express. Restaient les 175 pages du manuscrit original qui n'ont été retrouvées qu'en 84.

Automate all rational thought
Capitalism contains a fundamental contradiction: it depends on continuous overconsumption and waste that endangers Earth's ecosystems, even as it creates substantial wealth and drives innovation. The system has fostered a culture of endless wanting and throwaway habits, frequently prioritizing profits over environmental protection and social welfare. This pattern drives both environmental degradation and widening gaps between rich and poor.
