    Dawkins' Atheist Bus

    God fucks everyone in the ass apparently. He sodomizes Lilith because "forces of evil are waiting in front of the vagina of the Shekina to kill the Messiah the minute he is born," at least according to Jewish folk tales. Zizek talks about this in an essay on Deleuze...

    i dont belive in no evolution

    if you believe in dna (why shouldn't you?), you have to believe in evolution. dna is the organism's blueprint, and it is open to mutations, even while you are alive. so the real question for me is, do you believe in DNA, and if not, what is wrong with you, psychologically?

    Pretentious Crap

    this is really interesting. esp the part about how pathologies now are all 'socio-communicative' - i think Lacan would actually agree: the symbolic Other (or big A) organizes language and therefore the symptom. i was actually reading an article from SubStance this morning (same year, different...

    What exactly is HAUNTOLOGY to pop music?

    hmmm.. i'm reading a book called 'specters of marx' that discusses this hauntology concept at great length, albeit from a deconstructive-post-Marxist perspective. how is derrida's concept related to the music genre?

    Music that is psychedelic

    a song like "Night Time Girl" (from The Seeds Raw and Alive) is full of references to psychedelics. whether or not it sounds psychedelic i think is entirely subjective. But that one in particular (that's the only song by them i listen to often) is at least stoney :D

    Is Dissensus Learning?

    i've never heard of this but it seems intuitively true. most advertising/media does have a cynical or smug tone to it. everything is automatically parodied, etc. the internet raises the question of whether all social interaction is automatically mediated. it doesn't seem accurate to say the...

    Do "straight" women really exist?

    where can i buy that sex-data-gathering machinery? just out of curiosity ed: this sounds like a kinky fetish deal but it isn't. i'm interested in legit scientific study. but it makes me think, how do different people respond to fetish or abnormal pornographic imagery? since it is by definition...

    Is Dissensus Learning?

    it probably learns or connects to itself the way a syntagmatic chain does. i kind of wonder if it is a hot or cool medium - probably cool because it demands interactivity and immediate involvement. then again should McLuhan's opinion even matter? i think McLuhan may have slept with Theall's...

    Pretentious Crap

    Google Chrome

    i have trouble posting blogs and stuff here sometimes. the text box is different. you get automatic spell-check and a bigger screen. it looks much better than Explorer or Safari. not sure about the load time however. seems a bit slower. the best part is that it saves all your downloads in a...

    Pretentious Crap

    not to over-generalize but that is the consensus definition. i don't like to get involved in the debate about hipsters. most of my friends (postgrad students etc) partially fall into that category, i fall into that category and i have for a long time; except when i go out, i'm usually alone, on...

    1000 Novels You Must Read

    hard to argue with this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/jan/22/1000-novels-science-fiction-gothic-books esp good to see Vathek in there. the ballard interview is pretty good also: 'I embraced surrealism - like a lover - and psychoanalysis, which closely abutted surrealism. Together, they...

    Pretentious Crap

    what book is this? isn't it arbitrary to say that journalism has deteriorated because of the Internet? you have to factor in that more people are writing and publishing, and the market is really thin. maybe journalists would be more relevant if they started covering more local entertainments -...

    rape is common in those prisons, esp by the guards. and there are a few cases where detainees have been accidentally drowned during the waterboard torture. and guilty or not, they were arrested without just cause.

    the executive orders also re-instituted the writ of habeas corpus. He wants to roll back all the Bush policies that violated constitutional law. These are all fundamental rights of personal autonomy/private property that are recognized by most countries. Guatanamo violated almost every human...
