all these bones in my closet (and the back of my mind)

Summary: When Colson meets Lola Gone at The Dirt's read through, he's not quite sure what he was expecting. He definitely wasn't expecting to feel like he already knew her.

[ Run to Paradise ]

He’s not quite sure what he was expecting; he’d seen photos, and footage, and read tabloids about the band’s exploits from archives put online, and everything that had been said about her in The Dirt book, and in Nikki’s Heroin Diaries, but truthfully, he has no idea what he’s expecting.

Lola wears a suit.

A month into filming, someone will mention that she runs Lionheart Management, and Colson’s perceptions of her will shatter once again, all but kicking himself for not making the connection since he’d looking into potentially signing with them a few years ago. Now, however, in the initial read-through of the script, Lola, sat between Nikki and Tommy, themselves wearing far more casual clothing, wearing a pristine, all-black suit, her hair slicked back and immaculate. If it weren’t for the array of earrings in her ears, and her closeness with the two band members, he probably wouldn’t have recognized her at all.

Lola’s unassuming, watching the actors give it their all as they read through the script for the first time with an audience, laughing along, occasionally resting her head on either one of her companions’ shoulders, warmth in her eyes. Courtney Eaton, the woman playing Lola, is sat between Colson himself, and Douglas Booth, creating a mirror of their older counterparts, though the younger three lack the inherent familiarity and intimacy, having only met a few weeks ago, rather than decades.

The script and the woman across the table don’t seem to match up. Lola’s just as nasty, debauched, and hedonistic as any of the band members, screwing her way around the scene with the best of them, practically feral at times. If he were a more prudish man, Colson would probably have blushed at half the scenes he shared with Courtney, realising how intimate they’d have end up getting, but the whole cast was more than onboard, and everyone just seemed excited; they all knew what they were signing up for.

“After everything went down with Roxy,” Colson read out the voice over, eyes on his script, “Lola and I took a trip to Boston.”

“Lola and Tommy sit opposite each other in a booth in a diner, sunlight silhouetting them as we see a bright, suburban street outside,” the director reads out, and when Colson looks up, trying to gauged Tommy and Lola’s reaction, Tommy’s got his arm around her, and Lola’s surprisingly somber.

“Are you really gonna kill her?” Colson reads, and Courtney, who’s frowning down at her own script, responds with a single-word affirmation, “to say Lola had a rough childhood was the understatement of the century, it’s something I’ll probably never understand,” he reads as the voice over, before getting back to the scene, “I can’t- I’m not gonna help you kill your fucking mom!”

“Then go home.” Courtney snaps in character.

“This isn’t fun, Lols, this is serious shit -”

“Then go the fuck home! Better yet, send me someone who will help, send me Nikki!”

Beside them, Douglas sucks in a breath between his teeth, and the words fill the room. Lola herself has pressed her face to Tommy’s shoulder, and she’s muttering something that no-one else can hear. Colson, after a moment, clears his throat and looks back down at his script.

“Tommy stands abruptly and leaves,” the director announces, and Courtney takes a deep breath.

“I don’t remember this,” she says softly, “I don’t remember saying half the shit I can never take back, I was spiraling so wildly out of control, losing my boys and myself to the highlife.”

“We descend into a super wide shot of Vince’s mansion at night, with a party in full swing,” the director cuts in, before Courtney continues with her voice over.

“I never hurt my mom, for the record, but apparently I scared the shit out of Tommy; I lost him that day, for good reason. First Vince, and even Mick wasn’t speaking to me. All I had left was the only constant I’d known. Maybe that was the problem.”

And then at the party, Nikki and Lola are getting high together, oblivious to most of the outside world, and looking across the table, Colson’s surprised to see Lola looking right back at him, expression carefully neutral. There’s something in her eyes that he knows but can’t quite identify, and after a moment, her expression turns thoughtful, barely tilting her head, but he immediately knows she’s considering something about him.

I know you is the feeling he gets in his chest, inexplicably, but he quickly buries it and smiles at her, wide and cheerful, hoping at least that she was enjoying the read through. After a moment, Lola smiles back, crows feet and laugh lines creasing across her face, making her instantly seem warmer. But there’s still that indescribable something in her eyes that he knows.

When he gets to speak to her, gets to talk to her, he finds she’s grounded and easygoing, and it’s easy to compartmentalize, to forget all the things he knows she’s done, how much of her he’s seen, how much of her the world has seen, in the most literal sense, and to just see her as a successful business woman.

Perhaps that’s the thing, that he, like the rest of the world, only know the superficial things about her; she’s associated with Motley Crue, but she’s not in the band, so no-one’s ever really been as interested in going in-depth with her. There’s still arguments about whether she dated or just slept with Vince, Nikki, and Tommy when the band first formed, and how she really met them.

“You remind me of Tommy, back when I first met him,” her voice is rough, after decades of smoking and partying, her smile fond as she regards Colson.

“Thanks?” He gives a confused grin; there’s too many conflicting stories about Tommy Lee for him to draw any sort of conclusion as to what she means by that.

“It’s a compliment,” she clarifies, “that motherfucker was full of energy, bright as the sun, heart of gold; I’ve pretty much loved him since the moment I met him,” that was certainly a compliment, and something about it feels more like she’s giving him her seal of approval than anything else.

Lola doesn’t tell him then, but she saw her younger self when she looked at him, just as she’d seen Tommy. She’d seen her ambition and anger and loss, the fear of being used, the desperate need to run from something, but not sure what, not realising that part of it is wanting to just run from yourself, all of it reflected back at her. She’d seen someone who does what it takes to survive; as much as she loves Tommy, he’s never been truly cut-throat.

But Colson... she saw a kid who can keep up with the world he’s found himself in, even though he sometimes doesn’t understand it. She saw a kid who made it big despite the odds, despite their upbringing, despite not knowing to consolidate the two opposite worlds he’d known, though they’re both so clearly a part of him. She saw a kid who knows loss.

But she can’t say that.

So she tells him he reminds her of Tommy, of enthusiasm, and energy, and heart. Colson smiles, and thanks her, bright and sunny.

I know you, she’d felt it in her chest before she’d really met him, when she’d first seen his audition tape, and idly scrolled through his Instagram, and listened to his music.

They’d both made something of themselves when they were young, so young they didn’t stop and consider the cost.

Obscu comments: Ready Player One, Part 1.

This is @derinthemadscientist‘s fault. Chapter 0

“I was sitting in my hideout watching cartoons“ Okay you’re either a grizzled old veteran with an actual hideout who watches cartoons because they can, or an awkward child who calls their room a ‘hideout’.

“globally networked“ unlike all other MMOS, apparently.

“At first, I couldn’t understand why the media was making such a big deal of the billionaire’s death.“ Awkward child it is.

“so the unwashed masses“ Could you maybe try harder to sound aloof and superior? I’m just not getting your disdainful sneering coming through as clear as I’d like.

I’m all of three paragraphs in and here and I can feel the neckbeard.

“But that was the rub. James Halliday had no heirs.“ And if this was set in a feudal monarchy, that would be an issue.

You’re gonna make this an issue, aren’t you Ernest?

“He’d spent the last fifteen years of his life in self-imposed isolation, during which time—if the rumors were to be believed —he’d gone completely insane.“ So the board of directors voted to remove him as CEO of the company like 14 years ago, right? Because massive global corporate juggernauts that have somehow established a telecommunications monopoly are not run by one person pedalling a bike to power a single computer in their own locked room.

You do know that, right?

Right, Ernest?

That’s okay though, I mean Halliday is probably having fun willing away his personal fortune.

“had everyone from Toronto to Tokyo crapping in their cornflakes” is this entire book going to read like a forum post? It is, isn’t it? Isn’t it, Ernest?

“His video message was actually a meticulously constructed short film titled Anorak’s Invitation“ A quick google tells me that, aside from being a kind of jacket, ‘Anorak’ is British slang for a person with obsessive niche interests. The global billionaire’s Final Message is basically entitled ‘Letter from a huge fuckin weeb’.

Also, how else would it be constructed? What purpose does ‘meticulous’ serve here? Is that unusual for a global tech billionaire? Was it especially meticulous? What is this description contrasting with, Ernest? Your own writing?

I’m going to sail right past the part where he had global admin rights to what’s literally the internet despite being AWOL for 15 years and this didn’t concern anybody at all. Let’s just say he ‘built a backdoor’ into it that has somehow gone unnoticed for several decades in a system that would be continually maintained and updated by thousands of sysadmins. Okay, it’s fine, he’s the creator of the core system. I’ll suspend my disbelief that his personal backdoor didn’t end up in the bin every time they upgraded something in the core build. Maybe it did and he rebuilt it, stealthily, all over again. Fine, but I’ve got my eye on you, Ernest.

“surpassing even the Zapruder film“ Just call it the Kennedy Assassination tape so nobody has to google it, Ernest.

Ernest, buddy, why am I seeing an ast-- oh, it’s a footnote. You’ve written your prologue chapter with fucking footnotes. Could you not figure out how to write more words with the rest of the words, Ernest?

My. God. There are seven footnotes. Of them, six say some version of “this was photoshopped in from an 80′s movie to confirm that this was, in fact from the 80′s. Did I mention the 80′s?” and the seventh is “this is a photo of the Rich Man of the Internet from the 80′s”. I really feel like Ernest has set up a much more interesting story and then elected to ignore it in favour of writing the gamergate manifesto of a 16-year-old boy. There’s apparently a nuclear war going on in the background, and one nerd somehow became the God-King of the Internet despite the fact that literally any first-world government would immediately try to seize this kind of centralised infrastructure away from him. Does this mean governments are a thing of the past? Is this entire story taking place in some kind of children’s creche in the Shadowrun continuity? I have so many questions, and none of them are about this book.

So God-King Jimmy is a 40-something-old man dancing in a re-edited scene of an 80′s highschool movie dance. I don’t know why it takes six sentences to say this, except to say that he danced flawlessly, and also:

“But Halliday has no dance partner. He is, as the saying goes, dancing with himself.” Is he now, Ernest? Is he really? To be fair to Ernest, I also wrote like this. In highschool. While desperately trying to inflate an essay to reach the wordcount.

“A few lines of text appear briefly at the lower left-hand corner of the screen, listing the name of the band, the song’s title, the record label, and the year of release, as if this were an old music video airing on MTV: Oingo Boingo, “Dead Man’s Party,” MCA Records, 1985.” We know how music videos work, Ernest.

“He breaks the fourth wall, addressing the viewer, and begins to read“. Is that what he’s doing by addressing the viewer, Ernest? I’m so glad that you clarified that for me, Ernest, that when a character is breaking that fourth wall that they are explicitly breaking the fourth wall. What would we do without your propensity for re-describing your own descriptions, Ernest?

“I, James Donovan Halliday, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this instrument to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and codicils by me at any time heretofore made.…” *record scratch* I’m not sure this is legally binding. I mean you’ve gone through a truly painstaking amount of effort to describe how heavily-edited this video is. Maybe Emperor Jimmy is fraudulently edited in? Maybe that’s not a binding legal will? Maybe if he’s been a missing person for 15 years then he can’t be assumed to be of sound mind just because he suddenly shows up and says he is? Okay, maybe it’s just seemed like he’s been gone to the general public rather than the C-level of his company, who are somehow okay with the stock crash this is going to cause. “My entire estate, including a controlling share of stock in my company“ Hold up, buttercup. I have exhausted my supply of willing suspension of disbelief, Ernest.

There is just so much wrong with this entire premise. The awol hermit somehow retains control of The Internet. An entire corporate conglomerate and every country that may or may not exist is either okay with this or has no recourse to do anything about it somehow. Not a single one of the thousands of people who maintain the backend bothers to comb through the code to find where this ‘easter egg’ has been slipped in. You know about code, right Ernest? I mean I take it you’ve at least seen The Matrix, yeah? Remember how people sitting outside the matrix can scan through the code, even in that hellscape where they’re not even the ones that control it? Sure, OASIS probably isn’t open-source... but how many people do you think have actual backend access? Spoiler: It’s not “Just Emperor Jimmy”, Ernest. Nobody at that company needs to play through what I can only imagine is a painstakingly convoluted puzzle quest that you’re about to explain to me in several levels of unnecessary detail.

Look, this entire premise reminds me of Breaking Bad. Not any of the good bits, mind you but the bit where the entire plot could only take place in the USA because in the rest of the developed world Walter White just goes to a fucking doctor and gets treatment for his cancer because healthcare actually exists.

That’s what this is like. The number of arbitrarily nonsensical things that must be true for this premise to work is... Incredibly distracting. Nothing about this is a reasonable situation. Nothing that you’ve established about this world suggests that anything about this makes even a little bit of sense. Now I’m aware that ‘eccentric millionaire leaves money in some kind of convoluted contest’ is a trope and I remember some very silly 90′s movies based on this premise but come on Ernest. There’s a much more interesting novel hiding between the lines of the premise you’ve ham-fistedly implied just so you can list for me the brands of 1980′s televisions. Out of curiousity, I googled every person who wrote the advance praise comments inside the cover. I had a sneaking suspicion about the demographics of people who enjoy this book. Here’s a brief summary (since Ernest loves lists so much) 1. White American Male, Age 48

2. White American Male, Age 47

3. White American Male, Age 52

4. White American Male, Age 68

5. White American Male, Age 49

6. White American Male, Age 40

7. White American Male, Age 41

I then googled Ernest, an action I deeply regret. Demographically speaking, let’s have a look: White American Male, Age 46.

I’m detecting a pattern is what I’m saying here. I’m only halfway through the prologue, mind you, and perhaps this really picks up but I feel like I absolutely did not need to be told the brand of the television that Young God-Emperor Jimmy had his Atari 2600 into. Nor did I need to be told that his Atari 2600 was, indeed, an Atari 2600 about 10 words before God-Emperor Jimmy then actually says that it’s an Atari 2600. Maybe this book is for people who get a real kick out of seeing the words ‘Atari 2600′. People who are (and I’m just throwing wild, unsubstantiated theories out here) about 40+, white, male, and American?

I’m going to stop now because I’ve started writing my thesis just to procrastinate from having to read the second half of the prologue to this book.

📷 JAN 13, 2021 BY JESSICA MCKINNEY Image via YouTube/pgLang 📷📷 Kendrick Lamar is working on a mysterious new project. In March 2020, he tweeted a graphic logo and the word “pgLang,” with no explanation. Then he followed that up with a short teaser, along with a link to a professional website. Minutes later, rising artist Baby Keem and former Top Dawg Entertainment president Dave Free followed suit, sharing similar images and links. That’s how most of us were introduced to the new company pgLang.The company is still in its infancy, but it has already managed to collaborate with Hollywood stars and major fashion brands. pgLang, which is being described as “an at service company” for artists and creators, is getting a lot of buzz, but we still don’t know much about it. After a little digging, though, we were able to get a better grasp at what the company has done so far and what we should expect in the future. Everything you need to know about pgLang so far is below. What is pgLang? Video via YouTube 📷 Founded by Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free, pgLang is a service company for creators. “PgLang is multi-lingual,” the company’s mission statement reads. “Our community speaks music, film, television, art, books, and podcasts – because sometimes we have to use different languages to get the point of our stories across. Stories that speak to many nations, many races, and many ages.” The statement says the company is focused on using the experiences of its many collaborators “to build stories that are equally accessible and engaging, then fitting them within the best media.” In a statement shared on launch day, pgLang clarified that it is not a record label, movie studio, or publishing house. The statement went on to say, “Lamar and Free’s new purpose at pgLang embodies something deeply personal to them. pgLang is at service to creators and projects that selflessly speak with, and for, the shared experiences that connect us all.” Dave Free added, “In this overstimulated time, we are focused on cultivating raw expression from grassroots partnerships.” On launch day, Kendrick Lamar’s only words about the project were the following: “Selfless. Reset.” Why is it launching now? Video via YouTube 📷 While they’ve been cryptic about most things, pgLang has provided an explanation about why it launched in 2020. “This is happening now because the media landscape is rapidly changing, empowering audiences with choices like never before,” their online statement reads. “Only a few contemporary creators have figured out how to speak the evolving language of this generation without fading into the white noise or pre-assigned market share. pgLang is designed to be artist-friendly above all else and embrace both quality and unconventional concepts. This ethos will be applied to an array of creators who will join pgLang, including authors, film and television directors, fine artists, producers, musicians, and blah, blah, blah… you have all heard this shit before.” Has pgLang released anything yet? Video via YouTube 📷 Yes. There are two videos available on pgLang’s website right now. The first visual, titled “Welcome to pgLang,” includes appearances from Baby Keem, Jorja Smith, Yara Shahidi, and Kendrick Lamar. The video begins with Baby Keem looking up at the sun while sitting in a grassy area. Yara Shahidi appears, and the two engage in a conversation about gazing at the sun for too long. Later, Kendrick Lamar and Jorja Smith make cameos. The second video, “Propaganda,” stars Baby Keem and includes short clips from 2019 concerts. In addition to the visuals that are on the company website, pgLang has also shared more visual content on its Instagram page. The most recent visual, posted on January 13, appears to be in collaboration with Calvin Klein. The promotional video depicts model Mecca Allah walking up a spiral staircase. Their Instagram page suggests there will be seven videos in total, featuring Mecca Allah, Baby Keem, Travis Bennett, Ryan Destiny, Keith Powers, Amber Wagner, Brent Faiyaz, Exavier, and more. They will begin rolling

out on Jan. 14, 2021. The company has also released merch, but it was sold out shortly after being posted. There are still some pgLang hoodies available for purchase on eBay, but it is expected that more pieces will be sold online at a later date. They have also released music from Baby Keem (more on that below). Who has been involved so far? Baby Keem. Image via YouTube/PgLang 📷 As mentioned in its mission statement, pgLang is an “artist-friendly” company that embraces “both quality and unconventional concepts.” The company welcomes collaborations with artists and creators from many different backgrounds, including musicians, producers, television and film directors, fine artists, and more. So far, PgLang’s content has included well-known artists and actresses like Kendrick Lamar, Baby Keem, Jorja Smith, and actress Yara Shahidi. There are a lot of creators who have earned credits behind the scenes for production and creative direction as well. Florence Welch, the lead vocalist of indie band Florence + the Machine, Kamasi Washington, and Dave Free, all have writing credits on the first two visual releases. What is Baby Keem’s role? Video via YouTube 📷 Baby Keem isn’t credited as a co-founder of pgLang, but he has been a face of the brand. Keem has starred in all of the visuals for the company so far, and he’s the first solo artist who has shared his own music through the company. Both of his 2020 singles “hooligan” and “sons & critics freestyle” were released under pgLang in September 2020. He has also spoken about his involvement with the company and his relationships with Dave Free and Kendrick (who is rumored to be his cousin). In June 2020, he told Crack Magazine that Kendrick and Free were helping a lot with his creative vision. “[They are helping with] everything. Me as a whole, Baby the artist, Hykeem Carter. Everything, every aspect,” he said. “They’re my guys, that’s my team. That’s my life.”In pgLang’s launch day statement, Keem also said, “Astronaut ideas. That is what I call the shit that I know I want but that stand alone. You know? Like, not everything has to ‘make sense’ to me in a rational way. This is how my mind stays fresh, by letting myself have my astronaut ideas and developing them even though it might confuse anyone else.” What have its founders said about pgLang so far? Image via YouTube/pgLang 📷 Kendrick Lamar has remained rather quiet about his involvement in pgLang, although he has shared a lot of the content on his personal social media accounts. In an interview between Kendrick and Baby Keem for i-D, though, the two spoke briefly about the company and their visions. K. Dot mentioned the need to be able to “share and experience the same language or teach another language” when collaborating with others. Then he asked Keem about his thoughts on what pgLang represents. “I’ve seen pgLang before it was even an idea that came to fruition. It’s sticking to and believing in something, even when you don’t know how it will be created, and it starts out as just a small idea,” Keem responded. “I believed in it, and I stuck to it and now everything is paying off. So I’ve seen it from when there was no idea, to now. So to me, pgLang represents loyalty and trust.” Did anyone see this coming? Image via Getty/Ollie Millington/Redferns 📷 Many fans were surprised by the announcement of pgLang in March 2020, but there may have been clues that suggested Dave Free and Kendrick were up to something. In an interview with VIBE in 2018, Dave Free revealed that he was planning to get “heavy into the film game.” “I'm trying to get heavier into it. Kendrick’s trying to get heavier into it. A lot of the guys want to get more into the content creation game,” he said. “To us, it's about replicating the success but also stretching our hands into as many fields as humanly possible. So all those big investors and all those big guys that wanna be with a winning team, come talk to TDE ‘cause we’re looking into a bunch of different fields. There's no label on what we can do now. Top literally just left my house and

we were talking about everything else that we have to do.” In 2016, Top Dawg Entertainment also announced its intention to get into film, calling on producers and directors to join their team. Although Free parted ways with TDE in 2019, his previous comments suggest he had an interest in tackling another big project that touches many mediums.

...and I feel like I just gazed into the maw of madness itself.Okay, a bit of explanation first.I grew up on Long Island in the late 90’s/early 2000's. Me and my friends were pretty interested in the supernatural and we all knew about the Montauk Project; the story about how some kidnapped psychic kids were used for mind control and spy purposes, and somehow let loose a monster from another dimension in the 80's. We used to theorize about it and even made a pilgrimage out to Camp Hero itself.A decade later, Stranger Things was made based on the alleged events at Montauk and Brookhaven (the latter of which was our hometown, so thank you Duffer Brothers for making a kick-ass show partly based on where I grew up).So whilst browsing the threads on this subreddit speculating about Season 2, I suddenly realized that I never actually read the books that the whole conspiracy came from. Perhaps they may contain a clue on what Season 2 may entail and clarify some elements, I thought.I was... partly right.The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time was written in 1992 by Peter Moon based on the testimony of a man named Preston B. Nichols. It's an interesting book, to say the least. Interesting in the same way as the journal of an inmate in an insane asylum is interesting. If you’re curious as to its contents, then I’ll be happy to share this lunacy with you.To give a brief overview, the book starts with a "Guide to the Reader" containing the following excerpt;"Some of the data you will read in this book can be considered as 'soft facts'. Soft facts are not untrue, they are just not backed up by irrefutable documentation.... This book is being presented as non-fiction as it contains no falsehoods to the best knowledge of the authors. However, it can also be read as pure science fiction if that is more suitable to the reader."So essentially, the author is telling us right off the bat that he can't actually prove anything, and in fact, we should feel free to see it as fiction. That's not very reassuring for a book that's supposed to "broaden your horizons".There's nineteen chapters in this book. The first is just a summary of the infamous Philadelphia Experiment, in which a US Navy destroyer called the USS Eldridge somehow teleported to Virginia and back again after being surrounded by an "electromagnetic bottle" that somehow diverted radio waves and this somehow caused it to teleport. When it came back, the crew was either driven insane or fused to the bulkheads. Somehow.Anyway, chapter 2 starts off with Nichols stating that he was employed with Telephonics, (though he refers to them as 'BJM", because I guess they threatened to sue if this lunatic claimed that they employed him) in 1971. He says that he received a grant to study mental telepathy and ended up "proving" its existence. Where he got this grant is never explained, but I would love to hear other opinions on what university would give something like that out.Anyway, he says that telepathic communications behave like radio waves but "[they] aren't exactly like radio waves." He does not elaborate on what he means by this or how he arrived at this conclusion (you better get used to this now, folks). Though I guess this information could explain why radios and intercoms pick up all of Eleven's (and Will's, I suppose) telepathy sessions in the show.So at the same hour every day, Nichols discovered that the psychics he was testing with had their minds "jammed" by a 410-420 MHz radio transmission coming from Camp Hero, an abandoned Air Force radar station in Montauk.Chapter 3 deals with his exploration of the station (apparently the gate was just conveniently left open) with a psychic named Brian. They come across a homeless guy living in one of the decrepit buildings who said that he was a technician on the base, explained some of the technology, mentioned a "big beast", and claimed that Nichols was his boss. Being a moron, Nichols does not press this further. Meanwhile, Brian does a reading and starts ranting about monsters and mind control. Lovely. After that, our intrepid heroes proceeded to loot the place (apparently a whole bunch of confidential tech was just left lying around) and high-tailed it out of there.Another guy shows up Nichols's house and claims that the narrator was his boss, giving more details to the nature of the Project. Intrigued, Nichols then makes it his priority to investigate the Project.Operating on RPG game logic, he wanders around town pestering random people with questions and hangs around bars trawling for rumors (because as we all know, plastered people are the best source of information) and brings more psychics to the base. Eventually he talks to the Chief of Police, who reveals the following information;"...Crimes would be committed in a two hour period. Then, all of a sudden, nothing... Teens were also reported to suddenly group en masse for two hours, then mysteriously separate and go their own ways... His statements lined up perfectly with what the psychics had indicated about mind control experiments."So to recap;Teenagers hanging out with their friends = indisputable proof of government mind control.I'm getting the feeling that this guy had a very lonely childhood.Chapter 4 opens in 1984 when a guy named Duncan Cameron shows up Nichols's lab, to apply for a job as an assistant. It turns out that Cameron is a psychic too, (what a shock) and when Nichols takes him to Camp Hero (the gate is still wide open, for some reason), he gets a flashback and blurts out that he was "programmed" to befriend Nichols, kill him and then blow up his lab.Why the CIA or whatever couldn't just pump carbon monoxide into the lab while Nichols was in it, I don't know.So Cameron promises not to kill Nichols, and Nichols trusts him immediately (again, he is a moron). Oh, and also Cameron was part of the Philadelphia Experiment, but this isn't elaborated on in any way. At this point in the book, Peter Moon literally put an advertisement for his friend's book right at the end of the chapter. It’s nice to see that conspiracy theorists are willing to shill for each other.Chapter 5 begins with Nichols telling the whole story to the "United States Psychotronics Association". By doing this, he believes that he is safe from assassination attempts as he is now "too big to sweep under the rug".You know, you can still get "accidentally" run over by a bus, moron.This somehow manages to inspire an unnamed Senator to get out to Camp Hero himself to investigate, because as we all know, when a Senator sets out to investigate suspicious activity in a remote area by himself, nothing can ever go wrong.Meanwhile, Nichols is trying to regain his lost memory. He does this by wandering into restricted areas of Telephonics BJM. Band-Aids keep mysteriously appearing on his hands, more strangers recognized him, he got mail meant for "the vice president of the company", and he was frequently called into meetings with a "certain executive" who was always "very agitated whenever we spoke."Of course, Nichols doesn't elaborate on any of this, so I am forced to assume that the conversation was about his heavy LSD use.So apparently Nichols wandered into a high-security area and found an office with his name on it labeled "Assistant Project Director". He searched the office for a couple of hours but was kicked out by security. When he tried to return, the office was stripped bare.In 1990, while setting up a "Delta-T Antenna" on the roof of his lab, all of Nichols's memories were suddenly restored. How, you may ask?Because the Antenna was storing up "time flux waves" and was thus bending time so that "I was subconsciously in two time lines."…..Okay.Chapter 7 starts off with a 1940's weather control project codenamed "Phoenix", led by an Austrian scientist named Dr. Wilhelm Reich (seriously?) who discovered something known as “orgone energy”. What is orgone energy? Hell if I know, because it’s never explained, as usual. According to Wikipedia, it’s essentially energy associated with “life force” that pervades everything, can “create organization” and can be manipulated with “wavicles” (might want to jot that down for your next Scrabble match). Here’s a scientist explaining it in more detail.So, essentially the government used this awesome power to make “radiosondes” (another good Scrabble word) in order to control the weather. The rest is just technical jargon explaining how these things worked, so I won’t bore you with that (though it should be noted that in keeping with the US federal government’s policy on efficiency, these incredibly expensive tubes crapped out after only on deployment).The plug was eventually pulled on the project because“Changing the weather, if it were proven in court, could lead to many lawsuits.”So far, I think this is the most realistic thing in the book. Oh, and the FDA tossed all of Reich’s work into a massive bonfire. So there’s that.Chapter 8 finally gets to the actual Montauk portion of the project. The Philadelphia Experiment team merged with the weather-Jedi to form the Phoenix Project. Led by Dr. John von Neumann, it was based at the Department of Energy-run Brookhaven National Laboratory (which was only a short drive away from my house, so that’s neat I guess). To spare you a long lecture about electromagnetic energy and metaphysics, they basically discovered that the Eldridge had teleported out of the time stream into an alternate reality.In essence, the Eldridge’s crew had become fleas.So, the team managed to find a way to “synchronize” the minds of humans with the alternate time reality, thus ensuring that they would remain sane. By doing this, the team had also discovered a way to control how people think. They submitted a report to Congress to request additional funding, but were denied for the following reason;“[Congress] was concerned that if the wrong people got a hold of this technology that they themselves could lose their minds and be controlled.”The “wrong people” already have this technology, Congress. They’re called lobbyists.So in Chapter 9, the Brookhaven group went to the military instead and asked them for support, which enthusiastically aids them, tempted by the ability to make Soviets blow their own heads off. This is followed by the following footnote;“*I have included in Appendix C some evidence that suggests mind control devices were used against the Iraqis during the Persian Gulf War.”……Note how this is casually just slipped in as a footnote, almost as if it was an afterthought. I think this is rather telling in how the authors think. Though I must say, if this was true and we were controlling the minds of Iraqi citizens, it would explain a lot.While the Air Force was able to turn over control of the Sage Radar system at Camp Hero to the project, the teleportation-weather-Jedi still needed funding. Nichols has an idea as to where the money came from;“I do not have documented evidence myself of the financing, but have been told by my Montauk acquaintances that the original money came courtesy of the Nazis.”Because God knows you can’t have a conspiracy theory without working the Nazis in SOMEHOW!So yes, apparently the infamous Montauk Project was funded by 10 billion dollars in Nazi gold seized from a train in France. The more you know.Oh, and it was being funded by the ITT Corporation, which was founded by Germans who later became Nazis.This book…..Anyway, Nichols was hired in 1973 while the scientists were experimenting with mind control. They did this by having Duncan Cameron and other psychics sit in a chair and be bombarded by microwave energy at different pulse and amplitude rates until something happened. Such is the way of science.Eventually, they discovered that the human brain can be controlled by 420-450 MHz of radio frequency power. So there you go, feel free to test it out on your friends. Or not, because it turns out bombarding the bodies of people with microwave radiation tends to leave them brain-dead. Who would have guessed?Apparently Cameron was technically brain-dead, yet remained functioning because “the psychic part of his mind takes over the physical part of his mind and runs the body.”If you’re still reading this, I congratulate you.Anyway, the teleportation-weather-Jedi-Nazis tested their mental manipulation on random citizens in places as far away as upstate New York with their transmitter, discovered “frequency hopping” and figured out a way to remotely shut cars off. The chapter ends with a couple of pictures of equipment that look like Forbidden Planet props but Nichols claims that they’re Montauk equipment, he swears.Chapter 10 basically explains how the chair and transmitters were supposed to work in detail, I guess so you can make your own DIY version at home. Or maybe not, because;“It has been suggested that the research was aided by the Sirians, an alien race who from the star system known as Sirius. This theory has the aliens providing the basic design and humans working it out from that.”Oh boy.I don’t know what’s more disturbing; that many people actually, fervently believe this as hard fact, or that spellcheck recognizes “Sirians” as a legitimate word.The rest of the chapter is, like I said, just a long, detailed description of how the equipment worked, complete with diagrams (apparently Tesla was involved, because of course he was). To spare you the technical details, it basically explains that the Montauk group managed to rig a piece-of-crap IBM 360 computer up to people’s brainwaves in order to control them. Boy, we better not let these guys near an IPhone!Chapter 11 focuses on (appropriately enough,) Duncan Cameron, the psychic that Eleven was based off of (I wonder if her name was an intentional reference?). Now, I know that quite a few people on this subreddit are curious about any new powers Eleven may have in Season 2. This book may contain some clues. In addition to the identical, destructive telekinetic ability and telepathy, Cameron was also attributed the following abilities;“Whatever Duncan could think up would appear. Many times, it would be only visible and not solid to the touch, like a ghost. Sometimes it was a real solid object that was stable and would stay… For example he could think of an entire building and that building would appear on the base.”Kind of weird that the residents of Montauk town never noticed new buildings appearing out of thin air, but whatever.“With a lock of person’s hair or other appropriate object in his hand, Duncan would concentrate on the person and be able to see as if he was seeing through their eyes, hearing through their ears, and feeling through their body. He could actually see through other people, anywhere on the plant.”Interesting…“Being able to push his mind so far into the mind of another being, Duncan could control another person and make them do anything he wanted.”I don’t know if Eleven will be doing any of this in the show, but I can certainly see it happening. In addition, Cameron also acted as a sort of conduit for the science team to issue commands to mind-controlled subjects. In order to do this, they had bring out his malleable and controllable “primitive mind”. They accomplished this by having “…his conscious mind diverted through sexual bliss.”………….Well, I’m glad the Duffers cut that part out.So apparently the mind control techniques were perfected and recorded in 1978, and the tapes were distributed to various government agencies “so they could be developed into something practical.” I’m sure the Department of Education watches those tapes every night, trying to find an answer.Chapter 12 deals with time-travel. The teleportation-telepathic-weather-alien-Nazi-Jedi team discovered that Cameron could bend time as well, and he was amplified by an “Orion Delta T antenna”. Why Orion?“It is referred to as ‘Orion’ because there was a persistent rumor that the design was given to the project by aliens from the Orion constellation (this is a different group of aliens from the Sirians, whose knowledge was allegedly used for the Montauk chair.”Oh, so these guys were scamming TWO alien races out of their tech? Why stop there? Did the Biaviians not return your calls?“According to the rumor, the Orions knew we were close to achieving our task and had their own agenda for helping us.”Oh, okay, so no, they didn’t scam “the Orions”, they accepted the tech from them? You know, my mom always taught me to never take things from strangers when I was a kid, I’d think that a bunch of scientists with PhDs would know better than to accept strange technology from a bunch of sniggering aliens without asking any questions!This book….The rest of the chapter is just more explanation as to how time-travel works using metaphysics in a way that probably makes actual metaphysicists break down in tears at seeing their passion abused in such a way. The point is, they wanted to travel back in time to the Philadelphia Experiment in 1943.We’re almost done folks, just stay with me for a bit longer.Chapter 13 describes how the scientists managed to create stable “time tunnels” through “hyperspace”. They were constantly losing people who went into those things, so;“It was routine to create a tunnel, grab somebody off the street and send them down. Most of the time, these people were winos or derelicts whose absence wouldn’t create a furor. If they returned they would make a full report on what they had encountered.”Because no one is better qualified to travel through time than drunk hobos you found sleeping on a park bench.There was also a whole bunch of kids aged 9-16 that were brought in by other kids who “were specifically trained to go out and bring in other kids.” So I guess it’s like Oliver Twist if Fagin was a Neo-Nazi and Bill Sikes was an alien. Speaking of which, apparently most of the kids were “blond, blue eyed, tall and light skinned”, fitting the Aryan image. Also, for whatever reason, they were all boys. The reason for this is because “A later investigation showed that Montauk had a NeoNazi [sic] connection and the Nazis were still on the Aryan kick”.SighAlmost done, folks.So these kids were all sent to 6037 A.D., to a city in ruins, in the center of which was a gold horse on a pedestal. Well, nice to see that pretentious artwork will still survive to the sixty-first century. The kids had to read the inscription on the pedestal, interpret it annnnnnd………no explanation is given. Of course.I have the feeling that while writing this, Nichols and Moon thought that Neo-Nazis sending abducted Aryan kids to a destroyed to future would be a great, intriguing idea, but they had no idea what kind of reason they could pull out of their asses to explain it, and they couldn’t rewrite it because they already paid for the cover illustration. So this thread just… stops midstride.Oh, and apparently the drunk hobos were sent to loiter around World War I and II. Well, I guess now we know the reason as to why no time-traveler ever assassinated Hitler.So, right off the bat, Chapter 14 claims that the drunk hobos were also teleported to the surface of Mars, or more specifically to Martian pyramids. Yeah, why not.The book then talks about a documentary called Alternative 3 which proclaims that the Americans and Soviets worked together to land on Mars in 1962. The authors omit the fact that Alternative 3 was actually a satirical mockumentary.Regardless, while exploring Mars, Cameron shut off a piece of technology called “The Solar System Defense” in 1943. This apparently triggered the arrival of UFOs to Earth.To close out the chapter, Nichols leaves us with this;“There’s not much more I can say about Mars at this point except that the movie ‘Total Recall’ is fancifully based upon some of the events that occurred with the Montauk Project. The way they used the chair in that movie is strikingly similar”.Did… did we see the same movie? Because I don’t remember of this nonsense in Total Recall). If I’m wrong, then someone please correct me. I wasn’t high when I saw it, so that may explain the discrepancy.…………Okay, I have to give the authors some credit, they did make me inadvertently think of a version of Stranger Things in which Eleven is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. That did get a laugh.Or maybe it’s just a sign of my sanity cracking. Anyway…Chapter 15 is where the plot of Stranger Things starts. So the teleportation-telepathic-mind-controlling--weather-alien-pedophile-Martian-Nazi-Jedi team decide to go back in time to the USS Eldridge on August 12th 1983. “Natural laws were being violated”, and many people on the team were beginning to get nervous because “We had talked about the pitfalls of dealing with time and how this might affect the karma of the planet.” I have no idea what he means by that, so I am forced to assume that a bunch of intergalactic Talon Company Mercs would show up to kick Earth’s ass if the project continued. So they had Cameron summon a monster from another world. What horrible creature was dredged up from another dimension?“…. a hairy monster. It was big, hairy, hungry and nasty.”It’s Bigfoot.Okay, I admit my expectations were a bit high, but come on authors, you really couldn’t come up with anything better than that? Did you run out of acid?Anyway, Demofoot rampages around the facility, breaking everything and murdering everyone (way to go, Nichols). Interestingly, it is described as shifting from 9 feet high to 30 feet high. Maybe this is where the giant thing In the Super Bowl teaser came from. So Nichols ends up destroying the amplifying transmitter, which closes the portal and causes Demofoot to disappear. After that, the base’s personnel were brainwashed and the base was shut down. In the author’s own words;“The reader should now have some idea of the general theories and applications that were used at Montauk”.And I hoped I did a good job abridging it for you.There’s four more chapters, but they’re all short. 16 talks about “The Nature of Time” which contains more theories about time-travel and asks the question about who really was running this whole mess.“Religionists can bring in God and the Devil. UFO aficionados can offer a grand scheme of aliens vying for our solar system. Left wingers will offer explanations concerning the CIA and secret government.”I love how he just casually tosses in “Left wingers”, placing them on par with “UFO aficionados”.Chapter 17 is only two pages long, and just mentions how Special Forces units removed all the equipment from the base (which is funny, because at the beginning of the book Nichols was showing off the equipment he looted from the abandoned base. I guess he just stopped giving a crap about continuity), and how the underground was sealed with cement.Chapter 18 talks about Camp Hero today, and for once he finally starts talking about actual facts; Camp Hero is indeed a state park, the underground is still owned by the government and there are park rangers who patrol the area (I never saw any that were armed, though). Also, the apparently some sections of the underground are being reopened.Finally, the book closes out with a chapter that essentially boils down to Nichols haggling with a brainwashed von Neumann (the head of the project) over some receivers like it’s an episode of American Pickers. Nichols makes one last claim that the receivers came from yet another alien race, I roll my eyes one last time and the book finally ends.There’s a couple more appendixes elaborating on some details, but that’s about it. Oh, except for Peter Moon’s self-congratulatory session in which he takes sole credit for the interest in government cover-ups in the 90’s, and most offensively, the X-Files. I don’t think that Chris Carter is going to be cutting you a check anytime soon, Moon. He then proceeds to use a whopping 28% of the entire ebook for advertising his Sixteen other novels and newsletter. Someone’s desperate. These books include Montauk Revisited: Adventures in Synchronicity, Pyramids of Montauk: Explorations in Consciousness, The Black Sun: Montauk’s Nazi-Tibetan Connection (seriously) and of course, Montauk: The Alien Connection.Well, looking back on this, I didn’t expect that my brief overview of this bizarre book would go on for so long. I suppose I just wanted to share my experience with someone. This book does provide a fascinating insight into where exactly Stranger Things originated from (and maybe a peek at where its going), and perhaps more importantly for me personally, provided a bit of closure on some of my childhood adventures.Thanks for reading. via /r/StrangerThings

Will There Be Internships This Summer?

May 21, 2020 11 min read

Cecelia Nancarrow had gotten all her ducks in a row for a sought-after internship this summer with manufacturing and retail giant Hormel Foods. The 21-year-old Kansas native and incoming senior at Kansas State University — where she studies sales and data analytics and is a member of the school’s National Strategic Selling Institute — had been chosen for a temporary relocation to Dallas, where she’d be learning some real-world wheeling and dealing at one of the Austin, Minnesota-based corporation’s numerous satellite offices. But as her junior year neared conclusion and travel plans were booked, a public health emergency came crashing down, instantaneously upending the very opportunity she’d been compiling credentials for. In Nancarrow’s telling, she didn’t waste any time feigning disbelief.

“Almost immediately, I didn’t even consider the fact that my internship would not be cancelled,” she recalls matter-of-factly in a phone interview from her home in Manhattan, Kansas. “Restaurants, hotels, hospitals — those would be my customers. So as soon as all of those shut down, I was thinking, if all these places are going to be closed for the remainder of the summer, I have no idea how I would be able to do my job.“

As it turned out, Nancarrow was one of the lucky ones. Hormel, a publicly traded company with dozens of globally recognized brands under its auspices ranging from SPAM to Skippy, was able to marshal its resources and repurpose the geographically sprawling internship program as more of a centralized virtual experience. Nancarrow and her cohort will ultimately be staying in place, but Hormel has equipped them all with computers and quickly strategized ways to remotely simulate everything from orientation to networking opportunities with executives and clients.

“Many of these interns had accepted jobs in October, so as you can imagine, they were quite anxious to understand what the future looks like,” says Amy Sheehan, Hormel’s director of talent acquisition, who oversees the internship program, in a phone interview. “So we worked with our leadership team and said, ‘What does this look like? Is it feasible? Could we still give these interns a virtual experience knowing that it’s so important to our pipeline and filling our needs each year?'”

Fortunately for Nancarrow, the answer turned out to be yes, albeit with a delayed start of June 15, “to give all the teams more time to figure out exactly how it’s gonna work,” she explains. The flip side is that for many of her friends and peers, similar programs, just like sleepaway camps and other summer extracurriculars, have been put on indefinite hiatus. And as a result, the future of student internships — historically both a rite of passage and real entree into building career prospects and contacts — rests in an uneasy purgatory.

Pamela Nashel Leto can empathize. After more than 20 years working for New York-based music publicity house Girlie Action, where she repped diverse clientele such as My Morning Jacket and Wyclef Jean, Nashel Leto struck out on her own this spring with a new firm, Siren’s Call. Interns have always been an essential, if perhaps taken-for-granted, fixture of the music industry ecosystem, and Nashel Leto had intended to avail herself of one or two in the coming months. But right as she was set to open Siren’s Call’s Manhattan office for business, lockdown orders took hold. The artists she made a living promoting could no longer tour, appear on late-night shows or do in-store performances, and surging unemployment meant less disposable income for people to spend on music — period. Nashel Leto was forced to focus on the walls closing in and couldn’t afford to think about helping young hopefuls get a foot in the door.

“I had planned on hiring interns,” she laments in a phone interview from her home in Bayonne, NJ, which has been doubling as Siren’s Call’s HQ for the past two-plus months. “For a music PR firm, a lot of my [intern] work would be based around maintaining my social media, but if I’ve never actual met my intern in person and can’t personally supervise him or her, I’d feel uncomfortable giving them such direct access to my business accounts. It’s sad, because I’d love to just be able to virtually hire people and have trust in them enough to have them work from their house or dorm, but it’s important for me to actually know somebody in real life.”

Consequently, Nashel Leto will likely shift responsibilities normally delegated to interns over to her small staff of employees. That redistribution of tasks has become duly necessary at Champaign, Illinois-based independent record label Polyvinyl, which works hand-in-hand with Nashel Leto promoting one of its cornerstone acts, eclectic indie troupe Of Montreal. Polyvinyl has decided to halt hiring interns for the summer and likely into the fall, despite the fact that some of its full-time staff already works remotely from different parts of the country.

“We’ve always felt one of the biggest benefits to our internships is sitting bird’s-eye view at not only a small record label, but just a small business,” explains Polyvinyl co-founder Matt Lunsford, speaking by phone from Champaign. “They’re absorbing everything that’s going on at our small company, even if they’re working on a typical intern-like task, like research. I feel like there’s not a very obvious way to replicate that without someone physically being present.”

While Lunsford has the ability to, as he puts it, “pick up the slack and spread the work out to the departments that would have the interns, or put some of that work on pause or do it later,” he also recognizes that, long-term, continuing to defer intern-recruitment is in no one’s best interests. Among him and fellow upper management, “The consensus is, if this is ongoing for more than this calendar year, then we would probably be inclined to take the time to figure out some sort of plan that would involve making the internships more virtual or maybe coming up with something completely unique so it could be envisioned as virtual from the very beginning.” (Nashel Leto, for her part, says that, “When a vaccine is out there and I work from an actual office again, I can hire some interns, but doubt that will be possible until 2021.”)

But what about an operation for which there is inherently no substitute for on-site support, like working the land on a multi-acre spread of field and forest? That’s the conundrum for Unadilla Community Farm in upstate Otsego, New York. This is the seventh year that the farm and educational center has taken applications from interns from all over the world for what its mission statement characterizes as “an immersion into a rural, off-grid sustainable way of life.”

Unadilla has been acknowledged as an essential business since lockdown orders took hold in New York in mid-March, and it is also seated in a county that has been permitted to gradually reopen for some non-essential business by Governor Andrew Cuomo. Still, with participants typically arriving from all over the country and various continents, and safety precautions like social distancing a standing prerequisite even in areas of lower infection, this year’s program — while moving forward — has had to make some concessions.

“The difference this year is we are only accepting interns from the U.S.,” clarifies Greta Zarro, Unadilla’s co-owner and internship coordinator, speaking by phone from the farm. She adds that accepted applicants have also been asked to quarantine at home for 14 days before arriving, and “then once everyone is here, we all quarantine here and don’t have to leave the property, so we’re lucky in that sense.” (One accepted participant delayed his arrival after feeling ill prior to his departure. He tested negative, and then quarantined for two weeks before leaving.) They’ve also “worked to improve our sanitation and hygenic practices,” Zarro says, and will be making their own soap and sanitizer on the premises.

Field trips to other farms and related networking events have been postponed, but there will be some virtual webinars and workshops in their stead. Zarro’s optimistic that even in its somewhat compromised state, the program will reap all its intended rewards. “It’s not going to be 100 percent the same,” she begins. “There’s typically an element where they get to essentially work on another farm for the afternoon and see another operation, but overall, the program is still relatively intact.”

If anything, as more traditional internship opportunities have ebbed, enthusiasm for what Unadilla offers has flowed. “What’s been interesting is we’ve actually seen an increase in applications,” Zarro remarks. “People are starting to plant gardens and trees and realize, ‘Wow, we need to be more self-sufficient,’ and that’s the primary thing we’re teaching.”

For companies like Hormel, the jury’s still out on whether its swiftly reconstituted arrangement will feel as close to, or even better than, the real thing. The one advantage across the board for both employers and interns is that this generation of students is wired for digital adaptation and distanced communication in a way none of its predecessors could fathom. That comfort level with all things virtual may help bridge the disconnect that leaves Hormel’s Sheehan in a precarious place of waiting for results and Polyvinyl’s Lunsford reluctant.

“When you think about what they’ve been thrown into with their classroom settings, they’re already used to this,” Sheehan reasons about student interns’ malleability. “It’s not so foreign to them.”

Nancarrow confirms that her age group is, by and large, apt to be less daunted by this sudden shift than perhaps even the higher-ups who recruited them. She’s even come around to see how this could be a unique crash course in the way business is going to be conducted down the road, and as a result of our current crisis, maybe much sooner than that.

“The world is moving to be so technology-focused,” she says. “I am definitely going to need to learn how to communicate in a virtual format. Having this opportunity this summer may not be ideal or what I had originally planned, but it’s going to be extremely beneficial for myself and everyone else in my generation.”

More pressingly, Nancarrow is hopeful that this unforeseen hurdle will be duly taken into account when she and her classmates — whether their internships have been modified or canceled outright — come out the other side: “I’m fairly confident a lot of business are going to be extremely understanding that my generation, as well as the ones around me, kind of lost out on that internship opportunity and be able to look past that and see our potential anyway.”
