I open my phone. I am exposed to the worst ideology known to man. I go to the video app. The video app exposes me to the worst brainrot known to man. I click on a video. I watch five political ads. Now you can see the video, the app says. It’s more brainrot. It gives me two more ads. One is about children starving in warzones. The next is about The Truth On Cutting Carbs. The next recommended video is a man talking in a spooky voice about real people dying in awful ways. Buy these sweatpants, Temu says. They have a picture of a dragon on them. I think it’s AI.

saw the mountain goats in nyc today, needless to say i am a changed man.

tomorrow i will have ideally profound things to say about the value of art and music and how absolutely surreal and breathtaking it is for something that’s meant to much to you for so long that you have years of history with to be taken from an individual experience to a collective experience and the overwhelming sense of connection there and how it’s suddenly physical and real and the people that made it are real and the people who understand how you understand it are real, and it’s not exactly how you understand it, it’s still a highly individualized personal experience but simultaneously something akin to being one cell of an organism or whatever

Stress having physical effects is so stupid your body's just like "you've been having a real shit time and I'm about to make it worse" I hope you die I hope we both die

photography has been a cool thing for me to get into because it’s a form of creation that forces you to seek out art as it exists in the world around you

i think that decontextualized images of liminal spaces [more specifically “infinite” ones] are terrifying because they draw mostly from existential horror

if you’re standing in a hotel hallway that repeats forever, you’re in a place completely divorced from any kind of purpose or logic. a hallway goes somewhere, but this doesn’t. a hallway should have an end and a beginning, as the whole point of a hallway is to connect the two, and here, neither exist. the space itself is utterly purposeless, and as a result, it really has no reason to exist. who even constructed this? nobody would want to.

did anyone construct it at all?

you’re not sure. for now, it’s simply … here. and you’re here too. this is your life now: you exist in a space devoid of meaning. you exist in a space devoid of sense. there’s no rationale to its existence. …now what?

i think you get where this is going.

you might find a purpose in trying to get out even though you know there’s no way, because otherwise your only possible response would be to give up and sit on the floor despairing forever

even if you go beyond the idea of this being a search for meaning it could be seen as a way to describe our relationship with suffering. you’re never going to find a world completely without it but you have to keep looking because otherwise you let its presence consume you

basically the infinite hallway is confronting the absurd
