my app is still Twitter because I keep automatic updates off and every time something new breaks it makes the app a little bit better. I have no search, no dms, I can’t even see photos anymore. one day it’ll be a perfectly blank screen

Column: The National Gallery of Art has mounted a smart, bracing show about the visual culture of American mining and extraction, which turns out to be a better summation of America than the official 250th programming. https://t.co/dqw2Ju1U3k

مع مرور عام على رحيل زياد الرحباني، تدعوكم ميغافون إلى حفل إطلاق كتاب «إلى زياد» في مترو المدينة، الأربعاء في التاسع والعشرين من تموز الجاري.

نعود إلى زياد ونستذكره في بعض الكلمات والرسوم والصُّوَر التي أنتجناها بالتعاون مع 24 كاتباً وفنّاناً، ثم جمعناها ورتّبناها على الورق، في رحلة غادرنا فيها العالم الافتراضي، للمرّة الأولى.

يلي إطلاقَ الكتاب جلسة مع المخرج محمّد سويد، يحاوره سمير سكيني، ثم موسيقى من عالم زياد مع جويل بطرس.

تُفتَح الأبواب الساعة 7:00 مساءً، ويبدأ الحوار الساعة 7:30. الدخول مجّاني (المقاعد محدودة، من المفضّل الحجز).

Now up: huge blog post discussing an overarching tendency in the music videos of the mid-2020s. We're moving towards a muted, paranoid '70s-does-'30s visual sensibility. It has a surreal edge I think is distinctly Italian. I have started calling it "giallobrutalism."

everybody is saying satyricon here which makes sense bc antiquity but I think another great example is The Devils. in the commentary Russell says the details people found the most stylized and unbelievable were often the ones picked from real historical examples.
