Emptiness is form, form is emptiness

The world is now a worse place.

cracking myself up thinking about the movement towards simplified forms in cave paintings

grug: grug must paint every hair on buffalo in realistic detail

thog: grug can chill out, audience know what buffalo look like. just do one line like thog

[rathayibacter]

thog: cave painting world no longer look for photorealism. expression of form and movement is new frontier

grug: but then how will grug demonstrate high level of skill? grug have art degree

thog: any caveman represent buffalo as it is. grug must represent what it means to grug

grug: hm. this will challenge grug. but grug enjoy rising to occasion

Why Manufacturers Are Intentionally Adding Allergens to Their Foods

A trend we predicted in 2016 continues.

US based but it’s similar reasons in other countries. and of course many companies have international locations. idk if that’s why it’s happening with sour patch kids but this is a thing

I cannot even explain how ANGRY I am at this.

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

At the time, Kellogg’s notified Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) about the impending change and left it to them to warn the allergic community. In this case, Pearson’s didn’t even bother as near as we can tell."

The effect of practicing my English mainly on the internet is that I can make some pompous arguments about international geopoliticis and forget the fucking word for “light switch”.

I have the same problem with Finnish but a billion times worse

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

An awkward thing is that Orbán is a fairly common last name in Hungary. Our new foreign minister and deputy prime minister is going to be another Orbán. Her campaign video includes her introducing herself to Donald Tusk, awkwardly saying "Anita Orbán, no relation. The name is just an accident." To which Donald Tusk says, in a sad, very tired voice: "My name is Donald."

Bet he'd never thought he would one day wish for the first association of his name to be the cartoon duck.

A STUDY OF DOLLS, 1897, Stanley G. Hall & A. Caswell Lewis

[marzipanandminutiae]

there's a myth that Victorian toy stores sold "kits" for staging doll funerals- perpetuated by no less than Caitlin Doughty, who is usually good at fact-checking, but that was in the early days of her blog -and I feel like this study is good for dispelling the idea

because why would it be studied if it was such a huge cultural phenomenon that the kits were sold in stores?

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

I'm fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.

But a reblog break indicates that time has passed.
