Nas is back from Austria! OK is back from Toronto and the WRATH autonomous zone!

199 – Homo Homogenous14 Jun 202401:12:22
OK is global homo now, and with that cums the vicious self critique. We’re synthesizing new levels of half Jewish half Catholic guilt, and it still isn’t kinky enough for the fascist Eurofags. Berghain zionists hate our freedom. Nas saw the Manhattan mainstream media playground firsthand at the Tribeca Film Fest, where they mistook Pisspiggranddad …

195 – Institutions? More like Instant Two Shits!! w/ Nas26 Apr 202401:08:08
The new era of Art and Labor cuntinues to shape up with Marshall and OK grooming holocaust, memory, and internet studies scholar Nas to become a new Nakama of the pod-ship.
