Emmanuel Carrère, Kolkhoz.

In my baccalaureate exams, which I took in 1975, I got a 4 in philosophy. To put that into perspective, 10 is a passing mark, 14 to 16 is very good, and 4 is a straight fail. But you have to ask: philosophy isn't maths, so a 4 in it is absurd: why not a 5? Why not a 3? Why not a O, for that matter? Without telling me, my father approached the Paris School Board and after some time was able to view my exam paper. The marker had written: 'insufferable pedantry'.

I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

4 days in a hotel. 4 days regressing from _Homo toto_ to mere _sapiens_. it continues to blow my mind that the West turns from the face of God—the washlet—to instead genuflect before toilet paper. i am a fallen angel

Alan Moore & Melinda Gebbie's "This is Information" from the 2002 9/11 Tribute Anthology comic is one of my favorite comics ever – its metaphorical approach to narrative had a profound influence on my comics making. I share bits of it in class frequently, but worth revisiting on this day...

we talked at some length about nolan's (and homer's) odyssey — way before the internet became saturated by thinkpiece after plodding thinkpiece. it just took us a really long time to get it out to you. here's part 1. parts 2 and 3 to come. www.patreon.com/relentlesspi...

A few hours before my kid’s playdate today I trundled outside with the vague sense I should spray for mosquitoes. Lugged hose out, connected pesticide. Stood with it in hand and listened. The yard thrummed with stridulation. Put it all back without spraying

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

my grand theory of the early 21c is that we accidentally invented a perpetual motion device—the internet—and then we couldn’t help ourselves and ran it faster and faster until it broke. now we’re repeating the motions it used to describe. but it is dead and is never coming back.

Solstice bike ride after a day of bleak feeling; passing huge sprawling cookouts in the park, cigar smoke and frying oil, deer crashing through brush, kids in the river’s eddying pools. Derailleur plying the chain like a rosary.

"thinking of your art as mere content devalues it" buddy I could not possible value it more highly. What actually devalues art is working really hard but not being able to pay your bills

Apparently our 5 year old, trying to impress our neighbor’s son today, picked up a book I had left on our outdoor couch—‘Infinity to Dine’ (!)—and pretended to read from it, saying with a cadence of contrived uncertainty: “The deepest, darkest cave is your love.”

Good morning. I profiled Amy Wallace, the only sibling of David Foster Wallace. I don't think you need to know much about David (or his work) to understand how his sister saw him — and how he loved her.

Listening in to the live Artemis II feed. I love the way they talk about everything (jargon, acronyms, plaing English) . Like a bit ago, an astronaut was talking emotionally about how beautiful the views were of the approaching moon, and Houston's CapCom person responded plainly “Copy. Moon joy.”
