I thought this GLK piece on plummeting birthrates was surprisingly good and openminded for the New Yorker; it namechecks Children of Men at one point https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/03/03/the-population-implosion It's interesting that for our parents generation, population boom was the...

The Baby Diego stuff is hysterical. Theo's character is very archetypal, you see it in The Last Of Us too, or the Mandalorian. Men tasked with escorting a child—shepherds of spring, if you want to use that word. Saint Cristobals. Probably based in part on golden age of cinema tropes: the...

The scene where all goes quiet for a few minutes and the soldiers ranks open like the Red Sea. And then someone defects and starts shooting and hell is loose all over again.

Rewatched the other day. It's Christian propaganda sure but it's very effective Christian propaganda. Jasper's character always touches me, like he's the only sane person left in the world, the only one who's found a way to be happy and enjoy his life while also making it mean something.

If only all this hagiographic labor was poured into Dissensus posting and recruiting we might have a second kpunk, instead of iconizing the old

@Corpsey how'd you end up here anyway? Were there others of your cohort who have since left or were you the lone youngun for a minute?

Bleak is also an oldhead tho. I think Kids Charlemagne, Mvuent, Dilbert, Clinanenic, Other Life, and Linebaugh are the under thirties on the board Everyone else is ancient ancient like. Kids or grandkids. Stoner dad days. Corpseys in the middle, a stranded isolate

Oh man haven't thought about that group in ages. I did indeed like them in high school but it never got serious. Mostly filler vibe music. How about Crystals Castles then?

No should I?

One thing I always notice in the Mediterranean Old stone in gridded walls and tiled floors Green tendrils in the cracks between the blocks This idea of vegetal interstice shows up in the folkwisdom of concrete cracks. Pedestrian pavement often has little grooves or breaks in it which make it...

THE GRID feels almost like too trendy too onthenose a thematic but I am also struggling to think up specifics

@version a hundred frenchmen must have written about the grid, no? Baudrillard is implicated by way of The Matrix

Pictured

Branching arborescence stuff is related to the grid, visavis networks I always found espaliered trees interesting. Tree trained (some would say twisted, deformed, enslaved) into a grid.

The vascular system is a lattice or net isn't it

Ah we leave in the morning but I wish I'd posted sooner. Was a last minute few days to see family. I didn't think droid 'd have me honestly. Perhaps he would've. Seems I should've. Wanted to get to Howth but trashed my feet and was limping. That plus rain promised no good hike.

I did years ago, The Mind in the Cave; I found his notion of a universal tiered world fascinating

Usylessly.
