Do you ever see something so niche you just have to buy it purely because you're just delighted that it exists?

We're in Ahmedabad right now meeting authors and researching the history of Gujarati pulp novels & magazines. Having an absolute blast.

Particularly amazing: The history of Chakram Chandan, a weekly Gujarati fiction & entertainment mag which ran for OVER 70 YEARS (1949-2021). Thriller writer HN "Atom" Golibar took over operations from his father, NJ Golibar, at age 15 (!), and ran it with NO ADS for decades.

Will be posting some vintage art finds and interviews soon!

Today in Labor History May 4, 1970: Ohio National Guards murdered four students at Kent State University. They also injured nine others, including one who was permanently paralyzed. During the massacre, they fired 67 rounds in 13 seconds at the unarmed crowd. The students were protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. With the current wave of student protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the government’s response is looking sickeningly similar to its response to student protests in the early 70s: Violent repression, use of chemical agents, snipers on rooftops. If the vitriolic rhetoric of politicians and pundits continues, another student massacre seems imminent.
