Why didn’t they put pictures in this? @deankissick

Lydia Wei claims Riviera contains "roads" that always lead to the same aimless nowheres. Didn't read the rest of the ramble because this seems to be a surface level misunderstanding of the music. Every road leads to the most somewhere. As a grown adult I feel the same unexplainable inspiration as Steve Jobs gave me when I was 12, a deep creative hope to make something beautiful. Dillon follows the Springsteen impulse to make music for the people the critics fly over as they fulfill they're aimless lifestyle between LA/NYC. Big city anthems for my child self in suburban Texas. I think the only way this could be understood for someone who can't find self guided individualism is for Noah Dillon to make a feature length film. Contemporary perception is hijacked by tasteless demons and there is no organic opinion for majority of Americans. You can't rely on the population reaching the deeper conclusions of your art without locking them in a theater that disallows their phone. I watched the Live Forever music video after Bicycle Thieves and saw no differences, but how do you explain this to the kids who can't see without a post button. Noah if you somehow find this tweet release the Chateau Marmont film you filmed in 2020. I'm requesting your directorial debut because it's already made. Jarmusch would probably fund it. If you need consulting I couldn't offer anything you don't already know but we could sit in my backyard and look at look at the clouds and you might feel better or atleast hear love in the silence. I have an interview on Monday for a studio that will provide space to make my art more easily. The weather is turning. I stretched this morning. Slept good. I believe the next step is to change the world. I'll see y'all soon.

@johnvvariety Real fans watch Amoeba’s “What’s in my bag”

NPR Tiny Desk is an example of normalized insanity. The premise is a band's nightmare––playing in a small room with dry signals and no mix in stale light. At best it's almost good, at worst it destroys careers. I think it only endures because people subconsciously hate musicians

@NewYorker @grok make a sankey chart tracking: - read the headline - clicked the article - read the article - read the article earnestly - understood the article - did something besides continue scrolling after finishing (If you don’t have data, estimate)

It’s become conventional wisdom that America’s young men are in crisis. The reality is more complicated than that. newyorker.com/culture/the-we…

Typed out something that didn’t follow the golden rule so i stowed it in the drafts and here are four pictures of Jolene.

Living in a quaint old house is nice until your ProsourceFit Pull Up Bar for Multi Use Fitness doesn’t fit any door frames because the molding is too decorative.

What am I missing

@Borisloverpink Making another one now. Charging my GoPro. Video will be posted on watchavideo.net by Sunday at 12pm cst.

@jackcmac drop the method

Always support your local bookstores. Unless the book you want is out of stock then make your own.

You should watch the Andy Warhol Diaries on Netflix. The one thing I'll say is "to critique" is a poor argument. You can very much critique in veneration. The Houska Gallery in St Louis was founded by a Pop Artist. Take a trip and chat up the person next to you. Fun way to waste a few hours.

don’t have one (yet?) because i like to sit with new arguments + consider them before i attempt to refute it i will say though, it was always my understanding that pop artists like warhol used iconography from well known brands to critique consumerism . . . but to his point, if you don’t have the artist’s intent / context in mind those pieces may very well seem like glorifying it. i’m sitting with this one because this guy was of the same time as warhol, so if anyone should’ve understood the context, it should’ve been him. but, then that leads into the next consideration of how “effective” those works actually were in their purported effort to critique consumerism all that to say . . . idk yet 😂

@SirEddieC @jamesonhaslam What’s your rebuttal?

@jamesonhaslam wasn’t expecting the warhol shots during this video, yet here we are lmao boy said pop art was veneration of the superficial 😂

@moonbeeaam Y’all have zero agency. Arts and crafts once again outpaces the zeitgeist. x.com/jackcmac/statu…

now why did the exact same thing just happen to me

@jiratickets Every video on watchavideo.net follows this rule.

If you go to the youtube comment sections of classic rock songs you will find evidence of the Alive Internet Theory

What I meant is that writing is seen as social currency, so people with no desire to improve but want to be on every social media platform publish half-baked slop. I'm not convinced that e-celeb is also a good writer! Lost this battle but that's okay

Building an app for posting twitter drafts.

@fakenadine @mcrumps please respond to this in no less than 6,000 words

can someone please explain to me what value people see in this kind of writing. actually don’t explain it to me i think i’m good

@matdryhurst @deankissick From my drafts but I’ve been thinking about this a lot.

@deankissick an under discussed quality of AI is that it is the best tool we have ever had for that

This is a great problem across cultural production. There are too many songs. Too many paintings. Too many images. Too much of everything and no good way of parsing it.

@georgependle @danielkolitz @deankissick @joliverconroy As freaky as these reads are I’m finding comfort in the quality of reporting and the engagement. These concepts are much scarier when they only exist in the underground.

Three brilliant pieces have been written this year that really get to the queasy spirit of our age: @danielkolitz on its obsessive compulsions @deankissick on its visual images @joliverconroy on its spiritual beliefs One could say that all three talk about the same thing - the creation of an uncanny reality, a change in what it means to be human, and the search for a god of our own making. harpers.org/archive/2025/1… spikeartmagazine.com/articles/vulga… theguardian.com/global/ng-inte…

BUGONIA, EDDINGTON and ONE BATTLE a hell of a “here and now” triple feature

My worldview is based on 5 very obscure books, none of which I've read.
