#and I'm definitely willing to argue with anyone who hates what Bowie was doing in the nineties#once again I think he was just ahead of so many other people and happy to do whatever the hell he wanted to do

i think you were right in saying that it has to be seen in the context of his ongoing interests and collaborations & that it wasn't an aberration at all.

#fi gave me a version of this speech at the v&a storehouse and it was a good goddamn speech

It turns out I've got a lot of Opinions about this, which I didn't even realise until I heard other people complaining about it.

I also recently saw a bit of an interview with Brian Molko where he talked about touring with Bowie (after Morrissey had pulled out due to being a massive shithead as usual). He talked about how much he enjoyed working with other people and supporting new artists, which just proved that point.

The 'hyperspecific situations' polls are really once again highlighting that native English speakers tend to forget that 'foreign' doesn't mean 'non-English' or 'non-American'

"Did you watch a foreign language movie in the past three days?" Yeah I watched the foreign movie "The Martian" with foreign actor Matt Damon

I do think the right way to think about the Mirror of Galadriel is that it‘s the equivalent of an entirely home-built computer tower, with chips that are only barely legal for civilians to buy and wires that look like a rat’s nest but are actually hyperoptimized for efficiency, and a homemade OS in a coding language she invented, and cybersecurity that would make the CIA cry, and also some judiciously applied superglue and/or gorilla tape, made in their home office by someone who helped invent the internet at DARPA in the 60s.

And that a Palantir is, comparatively, a MacBook Air.

the writer's beautiful and cleverly utilized fetish

[vyvilha]

it is true that in modern media very often the nakedness of the hag is used as a disgust factor but i have to say that in folklore the reason for the hag's nudity is because nudity is a liminal marker. clothes are a sign of civilization, they signify your place & your status in society. the naked hag is beyond those borders, she is a woman that is kind of a beast, a woman that is kind of a dead (or un-born) person

[vyvilha]

tbh the fact that we find nudity abject at all is kind of connected to this concept as well. when you see another person nude it's like a violent intrusion into your symbolic structures that you've built in your head. you are used to seeing people as how they present themselves in society and suddenly you see a person as they Just Are. but that's also what's erotic about it (abjection and desire have interesting relationships with each other...)

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.
