there is a lot of great art that I would consider "whimsical and fun" (Erik Satie, Paul Klee, the films of Jacques Tati, Byron-the-Bulb, etc) but they never mean that. its always comic book movies.

Plato on madness and poetry:

ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ἄνευ μανίας Μουσῶν ἐπὶ ποιητικὰς θύρας ἀφίκηται, πεισθεὶς ὡς ἄρα ἐκ τέχνης ἱκανὸς ποιητὴς ἐσόμενος, ἀτελὴς αὐτός τε καὶ ἡ ποίησις ὑπὸ τῆς τῶν μαινομένων ἡ τοῦ σωφρονοῦντος ἠφανίσθη.
-
He who arrives at the gates of poetry without the madness of the Muses, convinced that his art is sufficient to make him a poet, will be ineffective, and the poetry of the sane fades into obscurity when set against those of the mad.
Phaedrus 245a

What’s an album that just felt DIFFERENT. Like when you heard it you didn’t know music like it existed

One thing Adorno consistently gets right is that at the root of all philosophizing is the felt necessity of resolving the pain. This is the “somatic” dimension of all contradiction, which is the discursive form of all suffering: the sense that things are not what they are.

As an alumnus, I don't remember @SarahLawrence College being the antisemitic playground it has shown itself to be. Glad to have graduated without experiencing such nastiness, ignorance, and hatred.

Very fine essay on César Vallejo. I will definitely be re-reading it this weekend.

As a Gazan, the Iranian regime has harmed me for years. It supported my homeland only in its destruction, never once in healing a wounded human being or educating a child. I hope the free Iranian people will prevail in their ongoing struggle against the regime of the mullahs.

last episode of PLUR1BUS today and then I promised myself no more television for this year (unless the Buffy revival somehow gets released early)

[Henrique Romoff @h_romoff]

someone I once knew and considered a friend is now self-publishing romantasy books; I did not see that for them then, but I guess the years come and people do change.

Are there actually people who shower at night before bed...and then shower again in the morning when they wake up?

In memory of Béla Tarr (1955 - 2026).

"What I wanted to show in my films were always the people. It happens often that we are capable of doing something, but we are prevented to do so by society or our environment. I want to show that everybody has dignity and a right for a happy existence. In our world, this is not always guaranteed, but I wanted to remind people of the fact that we are all the same. What I myself am doing is not observing the people, because I am the same as they are."

— "Béla Tarr on The Turin Horse" by Konstanty Kuzma, East European Film Bulletin, Vol. 2 (February 2011)
