El virtual candidato republicano revela lo que haría en sus primeros cien días de presidencia. Y sí, todavía quiere construir el muro en la frontera con México.
In a world of easy-to-access beauty, sometimes ugliness is the only way to stand out. We chart the aesthetic of ugliness from German expressionism to hardcore punk to the rise of Vetements.
-Sehnsucht, roughly translatable from German as a pleasurable yearning for some utopian thing or place.
-where artful tchotchkes abound and work is not drudgery but love
-There’s little doubt that “do what you love” (DWYL) is now the unofficial work mantra for our time. The problem is that it leads not to salvation, but to the devaluation of actual work, including the very work it pretends to elevate — and more importantly, the dehumanization of the vast majority of laborers.
-But why should our pleasure be for profit?: @ the same time I ask. Why not? Is there even a rule for this?
- According to this way of thinking, labor is not something one does for compensation, but an act of self-love. If profit doesn’t happen to follow, it is because the worker’s passion and determination were insufficient.
-Its real achievement is making workers believe their labor serves the self and not the marketplace. This may be the principal idea in the text.
- Aphorisms have numerous origins and reincarnations, but the generic and hackneyed nature of DWYL confounds precise attribution. Oxford Reference links the phrase and variants of it to Martina Navratilova and François Rabelais: Weird uso of examples right? → Martina Navratilova and Francois Rabelais are almost 500 years away.
- Es interesante pensar en que momento sucedió el cambio del concepto de trabajo. ¿Cómo pasamos de trabajar para vivir a la construcción contemporánea del trabajo?
- The violence of this erasure needs to be exposed. While “do what you love” sounds harmless and precious, it is ultimately self-focused to the point of narcissism.
- One consequence of this isolation is the division that DWYL creates among workers, largely along class lines. Work becomes divided into two opposing classes: that which is lovable (creative, intellectual, socially prestigious) and that which is not (repetitive, unintellectual, undistinguished)
- Do what you love” disguises the fact that being able to choose a career primarily for personal reward is an unmerited privilege, a sign of that person’s socioeconomic class. Even if a self-employed graphic designer had parents who could pay for art school and cosign a lease for a slick Brooklyn apartment, she can self-righteously bestow DWYL as career advice to those covetous of her success. Siempre he pensando esto, se necesita una plataforma de privilegio para tener cierto tipo de trabajos y expectativas.
-If we believe that working as a Silicon Valley entrepreneur or a museum publicist or a think-tank acolyte is essential to being true to ourselves — in fact, to loving ourselves — what do we believe about the inner lives and hopes of those who clean hotel rooms and stock shelves at big-box stores? The answer is: nothing.
- Nothing makes exploitation go down easier than convincing workers that they are doing what they love.
A niche group of political scientists may have uncovered what's driving Donald Trump's ascent. What they found has implications that go well beyond 2016.
La revista The Economist, al referirse a los políticos mexicanos, dijo una frase cuya verdad se confirma una y otra vez: “no entienden que no entienden” (“they don’t get that they don’t get it”). La misma frase podría hacerse extensiva
Ciudad de México, 8 de julio (SinEmbargo).– La televisión abierta en México tiene en números rojos a las dos empresas que dominan el mercado: Televisa y Tv Azteca. Las cifras de ambas, al término del segundo trimestre de 2015 no son positivas, afectadas por menores ventas de publicidad, por deud
-That put him in position to understand that the presidential election campaign is really just a badly acted, billion-dollar TV show whose production costs ludicrously include the political disenfranchisement of its audience. Trump is making a mockery of the show, and the Wolf Blitzers and Anderson Coopers of the world seem appalled. How dare he demean the presidency with his antics?
-What Trump understands better than his opponents is that NASCAR America, WWE America, always loves seeing the preening self-proclaimed good guy get whacked with a chair. In Greenville, Trump went after Jeb this time on the issue of his brother's invasion of Iraq.
- Why do the media hate Trump? Progressive reporters will say it's because of things like his being crazy and the next Hitler, while the Fox types insist it's because he's "not conservative." But reporters mostly loathe Trump because he regularly craps on other reporters.
- Olly Alexander has issued a powerful statement on gay representation to coincide with the video's release
- Lead singer Olly Alexander has continued to cement his status as Britain’s most exciting gay pop star with a powerful statement accompanying the video’s release, in which he reiterates how important it is to see the LGBTQI community represented onscreen in its many various guises.
- “Well for a lot of people, it doesn’t- they live and think outside of the societal binary most of us are used to, but for a lot of other people, myself included, it does. It shouldn’t, but it does.”
