The world's most notorious custard-pie thrower is dead. What an obituary. He got Bernard-Henri Lévy seven times.

Known to his army of fans as L’Entarteur or Georges le Gloupier, Godin launched his career as a serial deflator of egos in 1969, when he planted a tarte à la crème on the face of the French novelist Marguerite Duras (“She has a kind of intelligence and cleverness that serves only her own vanity,” he complained), and he went on to “pie” a cast list of celebrities for sins ranging from pomposity to “choosing to function in the service of the capitalist status quo”.

The same could not be said of Bernard-Henri Lévy, one of France’s “new philosophers,” whose provocative views on sex, frequent appearances on television and penchant for white silk shirts unbuttoned practically to the navel, had made him a cult figure – and one of Godin’s most satisfying victims.

Levy once declared: “I am the most gifted writer of my generation,” and often boasted of his reasonableness and tolerance, but he was forced to endure footage being repeatedly shown on French television of himself, covered in cream, during a visit to the Belgian city of Liège, trying to strangle Godin and shouting: “Get up, or I’ll kick your head in.”

Noël Godin was born on September 13 1945 and came to pie-throwing after a rebellious youth in which he scandalised the priests in the confessional by speaking of his “horrible sexual life”, and was thrown out of Liège University after emptying a pot of glue over the head of a law lecturer who had helped write the constitution for the Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar.

He found work at Friends of Film, an obscure magazine published by the Belgian Catholic League. It had a tiny readership, which was just as well, as Godin made up most of his articles. In one he claimed that Louis Armstrong had once been a cannibal and had invested in a film called The Vegetables of Good Will in which Claudia Cardinale played a giant endive.

In another he conjured up a fictional blind Thai filmmaker named Vivian Pei, describing her film, The Lotus Flower Will Never Again Grow on the Edge of Your Island, in such convincing terms that an Asian film specialist travelled to Thailand in an effort to track her down.

“We’re very careful not to hurt people,’’ he explained. “Well, they are hurt, but always in their amour-propre.”

In 1995 Godin published an autobiography, Cream and Punishment. His other targets over the years included the New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard (who charmed his assailant by hailing the attack as a homage to silent film), the French politician Nicolas Sarkozy, the choreographer Maurice Béjart and the Ryanair chairman Michael O’Leary. He tended not to pick Belgian victims, he explained, because few would notice if he did.

You do not actually have to run your own writing against AI detectors. It will not help you. If you're worried about your writing "sounding like AI" (which is harder than you think to do by accident), making confident arguments with inventive style will help you more than whatever that is.

Caught the Porter and Duchamp shows today (inside you there are two wolves) and I love this interchange from Francis Robert’s 1963 interview with Duchamp (published posthumously in 1968 by Artnews)

Roberts: Your original inspiration for Nude, then, was ideatic rather than visual.
Duchamp: "Ideatic," what is that? Is that a word?
Roberts: I don't know if it is. I think I made it up, but it means...
Duchamp: I know exactly what it means. I like it. It is a good word. But to answer your question, before the Nude my paintings were visual. After that they were ideatic ..

this is 100% true and no one can tell me otherwise

screenshot of NBA reddit post: Theory: The airpod Shams Charania lost outside Madison Square Garden prior to Game 3 of the finals is now Taylor Swift memorabilia. Game 3 of the finals involved the secret service locking down the entire block so that Trump could attend and curse the Knicks.

On his way to his pregame bit, Shams dropped an airpod in an intersection outside the Garden. When he bent down to grab it, a secret service agent who was not at all profiling told him to keep moving. He lost the airpods.

Various updates were provided on ESPN over the course of the evening. Shams said "we're still on the hunt." Later, he provided a screenshot from the Find My Device page, locating the airpods between Penn Station and MSG

No report has emerged of Shams recovering the airpods.

Fast forward to the Taylor Swift wedding at MSG. Artist Justin Gignac, who's been selling NYC garbage for 25 years, walks around the perimeter of MSG in a tuxedo picking up trash which he then seals in small plastic cubes and sells.

From Gignac's interview: "I found a lot of bottle caps, cigarette butts, and one left airpod on the crosswalk - that was a first."

Photos of the airpod cube show it to be a non-silicone model, which Shams has stated he prefers.

"But it could be anyone's airpod, thousands of people walk there." Maybe. But: (a) in 25 years of this somewhat strange man professionally collecting garbage off NYC streets, the one and only airpod he ever finds happens to be at the exact spot where Shams loses his; and (b) ESPN has yet to report on any other lost airpods.
