rabidfear

What I have tried to put into words here is both a feverishly involved and a passionate state of mind, something like a synthesis of what absorbs people in artistic and scientific creativity, in political activism, in revolutionary proclamations, in chess and roulette, in the stock market, and in libidinous dreams. It is a state of mind that does not intensify and then fall away, as in an orgasm, but that maintains itself at its orgiastic climax without interruption through a lifetime. For this state of mind is not physical but cerebral. Images are steering the telematic society in this direction: toward a continuous cerebral orgasm.

interesting that Flusser invented gooning

aparentemente a esposa do harmony korine largou ele porque ele tava viciado em sapateado

lendo a história da vida intelectual das classes trabalhadoras britânicas, do jonathan rose... me identifiquei com o carvoeiro que perdeu a rodada de sinuca e tentou convencer os amigos de que o jogo nunca tinha acontecido citando george berkeley

queria não ter reconhecido o ex-namorado de uma pessoa com quem conversei por uma semana assombrosa mais ou menos cinco anos atrás depois de ver o cara de perfil por cinco segundos nos stories de alguém mas infelizmente sou um super recogniser (ref. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_r...)

Remembering Kaleb Horton So so sad to hear that my old best buddy and comedy writing partner Kaleb Horton died.

I’m never going to stop being mad that hedge funds and tech middlemen siphoned off all the money that should’ve let someone like Kaleb Horton have the career he deserved

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

RIP Kaleb Horton

BRUBAKER (Rosenberg, 1980)

a doença aguçou meu faro para os sinais - passo os dias caminhando pelos glifos que se formaram na plantação enquanto os abutres sobrevoam o meu corpo. à noite, paracetamol 500mg e mazzy star - fade into you live at shoreline amphitheatre (1994)

I relatively recently rewatched The Sting (probably for the first time since it was new), and it's insanely charming and fun and ingenious (give or take a plot hole you could drive a tank through).

And them's what you call MOVIE STARS.

a reforma do vizinho está me dando vontade de largar tudo e ir morar numa câmara anecoica apartado de estímulos externos por anos a fio chegando a ganhar uma matéria no jornal intitulada o misterioso caso do rapaz da redoma que terminaria comigo voltando à sociedade pra dar aula de projeção astral

thomas de quincey disse que nos dias de verão costumava pensar mais na morte porque a prodigalidade da vida evocava, por oposição, a esterilidade do túmulo, e eu entendi na hora que ele estava falando de são josé de rio preto - sp
