TFW Tyler drops a new album and you're glad you were too busy to do the last one much justice because ppl who weren't are feeling a bit overwhelmed now
Food emulsifiers may not be as benign as we are led to believe. They include carrageenan, carboxymethycellulse (CMC), and polysorbate-80 (P80). This RCT of 154 patients with Crohn's disease found that removing emulsifiers from people's diets significantly reduced symptoms.
All referential great art will be like this one day.
Funny that if you don't know who Johnny Carson is, The Shining "Here's Johnny!" line is just a guy saying "Here's Johnny" for some reason even though his name isn't Johnny.
Eddington was already a must-watch and now it is a must must-watch and I hope it makes more people cry.
In its negative review of Eddington, The New Yorker says that Ari Aster “goes further than just skewering the pieties of the left; he panders for reactionary laughs.”
Manohla Dargis disliked the new Ari Aster film, because people are still dying from Covid and his characters did not sufficiently interrogate their whiteness.
“Nobody will be asked to undergo … I think they’re most often called ‘sensitivity readings.’ Um, I published American Psycho.”
The literary Brat Packer and editor of everyone from Cormac McCarthy to Donna Tartt, fired from Knopf in 2019, has picked up his green mark-up pen again. trib.al/B6sHco0
A door blows open in your mind when you learn about the suffix -le, it explains so much. People used to add it to verbs to mean ‘more than once’ or continuously—so originally, to ramble is to ‘roam’ on, to jostle is to joust repeatedly, and to sparkle is to emit lots of sparks.
Sometimes science still makes me laugh. In non-dieting populations a carb intake like this will be associated with higher alcohol intakes, never reported accurately at FFQ first pass, and rarely adjusted for anyway.
Bold New Study Title: "Ketogenic Diets Are Associated with an Elevated Risk for All Cancers" Yet, the lowest average carb intake was 180g/day. 😣
Very poignant phrase in Husserl’s essay ‘The Origin of Geometry’ where Husserl says that people fall victim to the “seduction of language’, in which they parrot words and understand them in a merely associative way, without connecting them to original personal insight, experience
I watch the BBC4 Microdisney documentary, in which (believe it or not) the Irish band fight Paula Yates for the honour of Art in Aotearoa, before praising recent Kiwi music from Emily C Browning and Kayleb Duckett that’s in a vaguely similar zone substack.com/home/post/p-16…
It usually takes me this long to find my first AOTY contender and in 2025 that's gonna be Emily C Browning, as writer, producer, performer, with Primary emilycbrowning.bandcamp.com/album/primary
Childishness and cynicism is the speech code here.
Sentimentality and violence are a rotten mixture; so are childishness and cynicism. (1973)
me and my friend were coming up w fake genres and she said christian shoegaze where all their songs are about angels and the walls of ethereal reverb are meant to be the angels voices
There should be a sci-fi rapper whose lyrics are about getting credits and fucking on alien bitches
Japanese Playboy in the 1960s was, erm, pretty unusual!
In March 1985 Irish rock group Microdisney performed 'Birthday Girl' on Channel 4's The Tube. In their link they described themselves as an art movement of millions of people in New Zealand. Paula Yates says this is impossible. youtu.be/pMWCcbeALHQ?si…
Looks like the same guys. But what's the music here? What's the Z*on*st equivalent of Skrewdriver? Shazam won't tell me youtu.be/gMACaiclAHc?si…
