I could envision that. "It gives me no pleasure" he would say even though it would in fact

The only thing I can't excuse is this bit where people go "You have to understand that when we say ACAB we don't actually mean that every cop is a bad person..." Those are the people we need to curb stomp.

he is?!

Thirdform has said ACAB but maybe finds is a bit cringe now. Corpsey might say ACAB. Mr Tea is very against saying ACAB.

Do you say that? I don't like cops much, haven't had many pleasant interactions with one. They seem like annoying people, always the flaunting of authority, the needlessly assertive mannerisms. And of course they do horrible things. And if we were to psychologize these people I wouldn't...

Of course there are masculine expressions available on the internet, that's not the point. (Some of them compensatory of course).

The conflict of masculinity brought on by the internet age is that once the common life has de facto shifted onto the internet, it is harder for the masculine to be noticed and appraised "casually". He finds that he now has to log on to be noticed, which subverts the masculine ideal of being...

Yes, I was just painting an example.

With the internet age masculinity is being forced to confront its own internal dissonance: that it needs attention and privilege. You go out into the woods and be self sufficient only to discover that you are dependent on being noticed, that your ideals lose their meaning as soon as you exit...

The internet is feminine dominant by default isn't it? You can never present yourself on the internet in a directly masculine way. Masculinity can only be expressed indirectly. The feminine wins out on the internet because it naturally identifies strength in the many, in community, in social...

Then I read a novel called Lights by Edmund Davie. A wonderful little book full of great sentences. Presents a full and plausible consciousness of the modern eccentric. About the desperate yet beautiful attempts to make art out of the everyday materials of the city. A must read!

The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard. I think a lot of dissensus would take to this one. Sort of academic french style but nothing too bad, very imaginative writing about the meaning of the house, its archetypes, palaces and huts, attics and basements. A lot of stuff about daydreaming, the...

there are some great things on that records yes

Just saw a video on twitter with some guy claiming to have been told by Japanese authorities that the US were threatening Japan with some sort of earthquake generator and that the Fukushima earthquakes were a US operation

Mainly curious about what @thirdform thinks. Personally really enjoyed this new album that came out a few days ago. One of the few current techno producers I pay attention to.

One of the founders was a Danish artist, Asger Jorn, our most famous post-war painter. He was influential in the early years of the movement and apparently responsible for the idea of "triolectics", the lesser known upgrade to dialectics. Don't know what to make of his paintings though.

Twitter is an exceptionally extremist field, a pluralism of wackos dug deep into their trenches. You are exposed to too many positions and all these nerds who've spent their youths fortifying their arguments, some of them obviously very clever, knowledgable, charismatic. This self-assuredness...

maybe it always was but it feels like this aspect is being privileged in a new way, obviously through tik tok

are you just noticing these out loud or do you actually want to cancel them?
