It is very stupid that ebooks don't allow copy and paste. Authors generally want to be quoted.

Reread a bit of Unbearable Lightness of Being because I was looking up the quote on kitsch. Oof that hits different in these times. I mean, sort of the same because of the existentialism.

This was the topic of today's dogpark rant. Trump is the most consistent public figure of my lifetime. We've had his number for decades. Racist, rapist, pedophile, incompetent narcissist, liar and cheat. The media productized him to the detriment of the whole entire literal planet.

Has anyone done a good critical piece on how collage is different from/superior to slop?

hyped for Villeneuve's Repo Man reboot.

Bums me out when I see a well-considered written piece accompanied by a slop graphic. Tells me that the writers don't respect visual communication as a legitimate practice worthy of equal consideration. Visceral reaction to a sepia tone.

We're definitely in The Matrix prequel where people are building homemade pods and saying, please machines, hook up the tubes, jack me in.
