Cardinal de Retz

Jean François Paul de Gondi, Cardinal de Retz. Man of God, pen and rebellion. Your respectable situationist, psychogeographer and conspirator.

Very sad to see Raoul Vaneigem go. Very interesting obituary ‘Raoul Vaneigem : l’anti-Debord ?’ in @Revue_elements

Today at EDF, I thought of Raoul Vaneigem, "We know the battlefield. The problem now is to prepare for battle before the pataphysician, armed with his totality without technique, and the cybernetician, armed with his technique without totality, consummate their political coitus."

Today marks the 79th anniversary of the end of World War II in Western Europe.

WWII claimed the lives of over 60 million people, making it the deadliest military conflict in history. #VictoryDay

The fact that the Marchioness of Cholmondeley is cheating on her husband, the Marquess of Cholmondeley with bald-headed William when her own husband is 63 and still looks like this… head full of hair? AND he has a beautiful home??? Girl

The nice thing with getting a Spinoza prize is that you get a statue which makes a good counterpart with another hero, much less philosophical but fairly good at pursuing empirical field work. Hard to decide who is the more surprised by the encounter...

In ancient times, predating civilization itself, humans engaged in the creation of explicit imagery on cave walls around 7,000 BC. This particular artwork hails from Algeria, Africa, portraying two individuals. Let's not beat around the bush here—I'm the sole proprietor of this page, and it's quite evident what's depicted in this artwork. There's no need for in-depth historical analysis or profound philosophical reflections. I'm not being compensated for this, after all! It appears that an artist, perhaps feeling a tad adventurous, took on the role of the world's first Twitter artist, unleashing their imaginative ideas. And that pretty much sums up the essence of this post. Moving on to the second image, we encounter more provocative artwork, with a faint image on the right showcasing additional individuals engaging in some playful and risqué activities. The purpose behind these creations remains uncertain. They could have served religious or artistic motives, or simply resulted from a cave-dwelling individual in Algeria feeling rather nostalgic about an old flame.

Back to Randolph Bourne… the key shift from pandemic to war is that the government loses control to a violent reality where the state once again becomes the main actor. As a pacifist, anarchist and seeing the EU militarising, I am not sleeping easy. Europe is dangerously adrift.
