I would say quality of discourse here is somewhere below average for the elite quasiblog discussions of 2015 UST, somewhat above average for contemporary quasi-intellectual parameatspace discouses like r/RSPod, and about on track for infamous brainy 2025 discords like Machine Wash Cold and...

The fact that you have to write this means Dissensus is not exempt

Youth, luxuriating in opportunities, is callous to opportunities.

And also the way that a city's youth can be fairly described as the simultaneous expansion & subdivision of the grid. Not only does the surface area increase, but density increases: a ranch becomes 80 estates; each estate becomes a city block; each address on the block becomes an apartment...

Roman military grid: Christopher Wren's London plan: Been meaning to read a history of the NYC city grid; one of the tensions I'm interested in is the notion of back-compatibility, interoperability across structural renovation/retrofit. This is a huge theme in programming, from my few...

More town layouts. This one's from Gravesend, one of the earliest New York settlements. Classic quasi-cardinal crossroad orientation; nested tiles. The square layout still remains, four centuries later; I've walked it.

Critically, the grid creates fungible units out of individuals Subjective, local, & relational spatial regimes are replaced by objective, global, "allocentric" systems of reference. This is a tactic of simplification employed by hierarchical & centralized control structures Any entity or...

Is this like a drugkit?

I was floored by Irish girls's makeup rituals Rode the train from Tralee to Dublin, 3+ hours, and some gals spent every minute on application Phrase that kept going through my mind was "Old Masters" of brush & blush. So many layers, contours, darker bases peaking through light dusted surfaces...

William Kent confessed to some crazy stuff on the rum last night. Then he deleted it. He says he got on one of those neighborhood watch shows for missing children. He was suspected but they didn't have any evidence.

There is a mental landscape and a physical landscape. The attention of the poem toggles between them but they're very enmeshed, one reflects the other a la poorly named pathetic fallacy.

I feel like the enmeshment of mental & material worlds is key to romantic poetry. Probably someone's said this before and/or it's a totally stupid thing to say.

Hey the forum's not half-bad lately

I always wondered b/c this stuff came up a lot in the digital vs analog (discrete vs continuous) discourse, among audiophiles & producers, when I came up in NYC music scenes It seems like maybe if you have a high enough resolution, a sample rate, then functionally what's the problem, but people...

I always loved the tape-click on Trout. The joins/joints (Burroughs method) of the fragments serve as the rhythm. Like a train down a track.

Can you share what you remember Cat?

What was your 15 minutes of fame Will Kent? Is there 80s telly footage with you in the background of a ravefest, climbing out the sunroof of a car?

I prefer "dematerialization"
