In the middle of the 19th century, a French anarchist and con man by the name of Jules Allix managed to convince at least a handful of Parisians that he had invented a “snail telegraph”—that is, a device that would communicate with another paired device at a great distance, thanks to the power of what Allix called “escargotic commotion.” The idea was simple, if completely fabricated. Based on the widely popular theory of animal magnetism proposed by Franz Mesmer at the end of the 18th century, Allix claimed that snails are particularly well suited to communicate by a magnetism-like force through the ambient medium. Once two snails have copulated with one another, he maintained, they are forever bound to each other by this force, and any change brought about in one of them immediately brings about a corresponding change in the other: an action at a distance.

“Male martyrs are almost always surrounded by nurses, their mothers, adoring angels and other loving disciples wrapping their crushed and holy bodies in strips of herb soaked cloth and weeping rapturously. Female martyrs are almost always depicted having their skin flayed, breasts branded or ripped off with tongs or being stabbed and they are always, always alone save for her murderers. There is never anyone by their sides celebrating their spiritual life, only fiendishly reveling in their torture of her. It is perilous to be a “girl.” Look at almost any paintings of girls from this era and it feels tense, as tense as it is now and as tense as it remains. Fuck this world.” Jamie Stewart,  A Guide to Xiu Xiu’s Girl with Basket of Fruit

E pensado mucho en el sentido de calma mediante la tormenta recientemente. El sentido de claridad en momentos de épica confusión y ruido. Encontrar la frecuencia de harmonia con el ruido y caos de afuera no es perderte, si no encontrar tu forma lineal.

Letting director Guillermo del Toro play around with a '40s-era carnival, with its strongmen, mentalists, electrified ladies, halls of mirrors, and displays of fetus grotesqueries in formaldehyde-filled jars, is like letting a pyromaniac loose in a Viking display showroom. Short of Wes Anderson, no director is as good at finding the best outlet for their particular predilections than the Mexican Oscar winner. His remake of Nightmare Alley, the classic Edmund Goulding noir from 1947 hits so many of his considerable visual sweet-spots, you can practically feel his exhilaration in every scene.

i know i make this post every time i use spotify for music again but spotify is so incomprehensibly bad and i think its a sign of evil that so many ppls response is ‘oh well guess ill pay for premium’ instead of swift and brutal violence against whoever made the decisions on how the free app would behave or whatever

like you cant just listen to an album (itll shuffle and add other songs) you cant listen to any song on demand, theres like a 2 minute ad break per every 2-3 somgs, itll give you ‘watch this ad and get a half hour ad free!’ prompts and then proceed to Not Do That, limited skips, etc. its almost UNUSABLE without premium, with literally the sole benefit being to use its bullshit shuffling intentionally to find new music (and even then youre tormented every few minutes by unbearable screechy voiced obnoxious ads). theres zero reason to use it instead of just downloading your own music, but its frustrating bc you know how good music streaming would be if it wasnt literally designed for advertisers. and we really shouldnt be okay with the future of media being like this.
