    Making Money.

    I think it's getting more difficult to pull off being poor. There's this ambient sense of bourgeois cultural dominance that I didn't feel 5-10 years ago. It's working on us between the lines.

    Morton Feldman on Art vs. Craft

    The book is a great. He's got a great writing style when it comes to art, I think. Quite unlike any other I've read. Writes in these pithy, declarative sentences that are also stange and riddling. Then moves on. Very determined to keep language at a distance to the sphere of art, yet still able...

    One thing I'm seeing a lot is this sort of exchange: a: it was worse than any other thing in history. they mass raped all the women and children they got their hands on. b: well there are records of rape but nothing to suggest that it was carried out wide scale or in systematic fashion. a/c...

    Well I don't know but I don't think they're planning for Ancelotti to stick around another season.

    thought Finkelsteins thing about not wanting to condemn anything where he couldn't know what he himself would do in the same situation was a bit silly. you're not going to get very far with that sort of reasoning.

    The Normie Cultural Mafia

    From something I tried to write about MrBeast and his philantropic content: In interviews, MrBeast talks about having been obsessed with Youtube since childhood. He hated school, had few friends, and cared about little else than making videos. He speaks proudly about the years he spent as a...

    Don DeLillo

    He's got a lot of those little cute ideas hasn't he? Those neat little self-contained thoughts. Reading Mao II and I can't decide if I want these or not. Like this one: They're nice enough but they're peppered on so heavily.

    Scorsese is stupid

    People under 30 don't collect. We can't relate to the conception of time that goes along with it. My dad collects lamps in the basement of my parents' house and whenever I'm down there I'm struck by the remove of it from my world. The way they're just down there and have been for ages, each lamp...
