Some of the ways in which I'm deeply neurotic are, I believe, somewhat uncommon. I also think that I am correct about important things about life, living, in ways that are uncommon. But I don't know which is which

the new yorker is, i believe, a pretty good magazine. more relevantly, it is an extremely prestigious magazine. presumably they could acquire (at low cost!) good cartoons. i mean, not GREAT cartoons. but funny or insightful or clever cartoons. but they do not. they publish things like this

i believe that the editors of the new yorker have some amount of aesthetic insight. thats why theyre the editors of the new yorker. they KNOW this cartoon sucks. that it is niether particularly funny, nor clever. or anything like that. so it must be that they just dont give a shit. and maybe theyre right to? no one's BUYING the new yorker for the cartoons. but it seems like one has a duty. to have certain standards, in the very prestigious magazine you edit. i guess not

atheist creationism, the tohu wa bohu Just Did That.

Tohu wa-bohu or Tohu va-Vohu (Biblical Hebrew: תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ‎ ṯōhū wāḇōhū) is a Biblical Hebrew phrase found in the Genesis creation narrative (Genesis 1:2), which describes the condition of the earth ('aretz) immediately before the creation of light in Genesis 1:3.

Numerous interpretations of this phrase are made by various theological sources. The King James Version translation of the phrase is "without form, and void", corresponding to the Septuagint's ἀόρατος καὶ ἀκατασκεύαστος (aoratos kai akataskeuastos) and, in the Vulgate, inanis et vacua, "unseen and unformed".

Well, that's the consensus of mainstream liberal secularism and has been for some time. Or do you mean that the other stuff in the seven days also happened like that?

random encounter with a luxury shopping district

the shopping district itself was only distasteful in a mostly generic way. it's like spending time in a room with a TV blaring ads, or in Times Square, or something—Manhattan is my reference point but you can microdose the feeling in probably any city. this place was much more almost-consistent than most points of comparison, though, so the reaction was stronger. most of the signs were black and white and gold, but in different proportions, different typefaces and weights, and all the shopfronts were vaguely minimalist, but all in slightly different ways, different styles on fractionally differently shaped and posed mannequins. all these variations that purported to be crucial that didn't matter at all. it was impossible to find a place to look where one was not experiencing branding, and difficult not to be confronted with many different brands at once, which made me wonder whether the omnipresent aesthetic inconsistency ever drives people to enter a store just for the relief of consistency even when no individual store is specially aesthetically pleasing to them. it was like a chorus all in total disharmony; every image clashed with every other one, but without the pleasure of actual diversity because they were all really saying the same thing.

and then I turned a corner and saw this giant, ancient cathedral, which was so ornate that it was hard to process all the detail, but so regular and patterned and coherent that it was shocking, or soothing, or some combination of those. it was taller than its surroundings but they pressed in on it, every building on all sides of the cathedral, with big billboards advertising banks or ice cream or sunglasses. it made me cry, and I felt this intense desire, almost a physical urge, to pull them apart, to separate the cathedral and the statues in the square from the storefronts—but as I imagined dragging them to opposite ends of the city I felt it to be insufficient: they had to be more thoroughly separated, the whole city split apart in place, like two sets of colored lenses filtering the image so each half became invisible to the other. the people, including myself, all went with the storefronts, so one half of the scene was busy and lively and big and the other lonesomely small and sterile, like an ivory carving pulled out of a shifting pile of maggots.

AU where cities purposely make travel by car as difficult as possible because city's primary source of revenue is their monopoly on public transit. "to please city officials, this new apartment building has no road access; instead the only way to get in or out is by the integrated train stop which goes directly through the building. There is a pedestrian exit and entrance at the bottom, as the provincial law requires, but the pathway from the entrance to the nearest public street is best described as obstacle-course-esque. train tickets are $10 a ride"

On "Beautiful Swimmers"

In days of yore, on shores of Chesapeake old men, old backs, abrade the fertile beds, seeking hidden mothers, sleeping and sleek, and find that they've caught landscapes in their threads.

Their kids were hungry, who can give them blame but something has to give, man or the seas. There's losers and there's winners in this game and crabbing tides that no one yet foresees.

Blind, all-seeing markets sank the sailboats. Wind limns the empty streets of seaside towns. Grim lines on graphs approach their asymptotes. Long abandoned buildings finally burn down.

Now boats of lead and steel collect, amass the simple-minded dreamers in the grass.

i don’t get what’s the point of being a western civilisation guy and also being against rootless cosmopolitanism and cultured (which is to say poaching from international pool of elite cultural output) urbanity*, like those are westciv (not a real thing but whatever)’s gold medals, how are you going to be a westciv guy and be against nyc or london or paris?

*there’s a reason the word for city life is literally synonymous with sophistication and civilisation

Apparently Pete Hegseth has an arm tattoo of the Arabic word "kafir" ("unbeliever"). It's just so fundamentally weird to have a tattoo on your one and only human form that announces you aren't some specific other religion. Obviously I know why he has it. But defamiliarize it a bit...not just letting them live rent-free in your head but on your body as well.

Big tattoo across my asscheeks saying "I DON'T HOLD WITH THE WORK OF PIERRE-JOSEPH PROUDHON"
