oh my fucking god Dirty Computer was so good

the music (of course), the story, the cinematography, design etc. …i don’t want to give it away but this is the best scifi film there’s been in years and years and years, and, i’m crying

i really hope this isn’t just successful but influential

like, this is the kindof story that hollywood scifi movies/netflix/etc.etc. wouldn’t even dream of telling, and, i doubt it will really change that. and while i guess the bounds of ‘acceptable’ in a music video are different, and on some level wrapping it in a scifi metaphor conceals the point a bit, the fact that there is now like, a full on, incredibly well shot and pointed and brilliant movie about a Black bi poly triad resisting forcible assimilation because they were not sufficiently useful to capital, that the ‘healing’ medical-industrial complex is outright presented as a site of oppression and control… and with these kinds of production values and reach??? that kicks so much ass

Oliver Byrne - The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid

Almost a century before Mondrian made his iconic red, yellow, and blue geometric compositions, and around the time that Edward Livingston Youmans was creating his stunning chemistry diagrams, an eccentric 19th-century civil engineer and mathematician named Oliver Byrne produced a striking series of vibrant diagrams in primary colors for a 1847 edition of the legendary Greek mathematical treatise Euclid’s Elements.
