@drshoggoth Thought of you when I spotted this

@onan's swag bag came through last night. Thanks Onan!

Having tired of the philosophy business, Slavoj enters into the prestigious field of anime review. No word yet on whether Evangelion represents pure ideology.

2020 in a nutshell so far.

The power elite is about as incompetent and reckless as Murphy's crew, but with the distinction of weaponizing instability as a form of domination and control.

Here's the infamous Bruce Howard giving a fiery sermon on...truth? Perhaps he's speaking in a language that still needs to be deciphered. You let me know if you can make heads or tails of it.

"Bob" Dobbs has the only pyramid scheme that turns a profit.

Damn, the FB groups for RAW are a tire-fire. Most of the flame wars I see on there are when folks use maybe-logic relativism as a dogmatic cover for dubious politics and bigoted opinions.

For instance, the common hobby horse seems to be piling on leftists as authoritarian, for believing something like speech having consequences. Or that evidence-based science functions too much like religion, is dogmatic, etc.

There also seems to be this carefree weirdness that everyone seemed to be doing in their videos too. Even 'serious' groups like Soundgarden seemed to be on that bandwagon.

Then there's some interesting fashion choices. Bucket hats + JNCOS + skater shoes + monotone stripe shirts seemed to be all the rage back in 96 or something.

And I'm talking about non-grunge music here, like mainstream pop. I think what's most fascinating here is the neo-psychedelic aesthetics that feature in so much in these videos.

Not sure if that was strictly an influence carried over from house, rave or psych revivals that half-way broke into the mainstream again (e.g. shoegaze, Britpop).

Good lord... I'm playing 90's music videos and I'm powerless to stop myself.

Leonard Bernstein introduces the Moog, playing Bach's "Little Fuge in G." Plus others playing variations on the same piece.

Also makes me want an analog synth even more.

Thinking of fellow Erisians on the timeline, always ready to throw OM into full effect.

Great analysis on the Fall and their music's relation to working class aesthetics and representation. Also a great model for how I've been thinking of approaching my blog writing.

I've been writing more in OneNote for some time now, and I find it less cumbersome to work with than Word, except for editing/formatting purposes, and far easier to work with.

Maybe it's the plug-ins or something, but I'm just sick of having to deal with Word continuously crashing for no reason.
