Crazy Eve Babitz letter to Joseph Heller but I got it from somebody on another platform and lost track of who they were. I feel bad when that happens

Next time you think people become better artists with age remember Rupi Kaur is 33

[nobrashfestivity]

I think people are missing my point which is that she's been at a long time without improving. She annoys me partially because she's the highest paid poet in the world which really has nothing to do with anything except it's annoying considering how many good people are out there.

There's an old question of whether things are always deteriorating culturally, but it's difficult when there's more of everything all the time. Are things just getting lost? Do people make their money differently and therefore we can't go by salary?

I think Hirst and Koons and Murakami are probably close to the top three visual artists in terms of salary, you could put Gerhard Richter and Jasper John's in there but they're both way past 90 years old so, hard to think of them as contemporary in the same way. Beeple, or whatever the fuck his name is is also up there in terms of earnings. Who knows what rich people do with their money.

So what will it be, Tumblr? Is art getting worse? Is people's taste getting worse?

I tend to think there's probably as many talented people as there ever were but that a long-standing public contempt for art along with a general downturn in education is not making it as appreciated as it should be.

the good stuff is out there; the institution and the mechanism of taste has been subverted by a culture that terrifies people with the spectre of ostracism if they're not attempting to be maximally appealing (while reaching that state is unimportant, undefined, and in a way maybe even potentially a reason for ostracism itself for being a settled and definite state), which is to say that the Big Other is so constituted as to result in everyone policing everyone into constantly becoming posers in a sort of perverse panopticon where everyone's tasked with being both the prisoners and the wardens in a spiral of complete chaos in an epoch in which the production of knowledge has broken down and the only thing left is a game of musical chairs in which no chairs have been supplied and the band is not allowed to stop playing (with the punishment, being perfectly in the spirit of the age, adumbrated but left undefined)

one of those days when you're too rested to sleep but don't have the strength to do anything more demanding than to fire up warframe and then bob about in the orbiter between playing warframe dressup and arguing about foods in chat. which also happens to be the true warframe endgame experience according to veteran community consensus

[dwagom]

in what's called "fashionframe" there's almost something like an unwittingly emergent criticism of the paradigm of conflict itself as the (dominant) basis of video game gameplay within that, and specifically the strained relationship between the use of force and the production of knowledge (with fashion design playing its representative) being movements which diverge but also repeatedly stay in common proximity as they're forced to interpenetrate

giorgio agamben had some words about contemporaneity and fashion but i can't recall them exactly and i'm not flipping through pages to find the stuff either

minima moralia's such an unforgettable book not only because it's more or less "world's gone to shit, here's why" with a short intermission of "here's some writing advice for a couple of pages" then goes back to "world's gone to shit, here's why" like nothing'd happened

A great analogy from a conversation yesterday:

'trade wars are class wars' tl;dr:

nations compete to be manufacturers for a fixed amount of global consumption like European nobility competed for a fixed amount of agricultural output by starting wars of conquest

why hasn't communism been achieved? easy: we haven't yet achieved capitalism. mercantilism remains the determining economic philosophy of outward-facing policy for states

Materials science is the most subtly cool field of tech advancement tbh like while the techbros are going on about their newest ridiculous "world-changing" piece of software, materials scientists will slowly work in the background and suddenly laundry detergents are just better, electronics more efficient, just these little incremental things

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it
