iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Ashbery is often puzzled over by ‘serious’ critics. It’s decent stuff, but it’s really just gay-guy-cool-guy speak about wanting to get past macho AbEx painting styles. Not that hard to understand. They wanted to get back to Impressionism while birthing Pop.

Olivia Nuzzi is case in point why you can’t even trust the Northern Italians.

For instance, Farage is most likely uninterested and probably unaware of people like Evola and de Benoist, but whoever takes his place is.

Now more than ever it’s important to distinguish between the merely dumb & bigoted from the hardcore ideological zealots.

This is akin to condemning someone for saying the N Word while singing along to 50 Cent in high school. Farage is vile, but you wouldn’t like to meet those who will step-up in his absence. Known enemy is better situation here.

Losing your sex drive is an incredible blessing.

You don’t hate jazz, you fear jazz

Same move Bond pulled when he dropped a Nazi gold bar on the green before Goldfinger’s putt.

I actually like this kind of commentary and think our highly pressurized contemporary society could use more of it. Bring a little élan back into the culture.

“[A]ppalling prose” is in itself bad prose.

I’d rather die of E. coli poisoning than eat at a place where the “chef” wears those ridiculous black nitrile gloves.

The aspirant upper middle class is getting really lazy when they can’t be bothered to knead their fucking homemade bread—or a recession indicator.

Progressive types yearn for an age they purport to hate.

I’d put up the $183 for this title as a curiosity piece.

This is an own goal. The only people to blame for the novel’s outsized reputation are those who conspired to suppress—an actual banned book, unlike, say, The Handmaid's Tale. Textbook Streisand effect.

Ideological cover for the author.

The quotation marks signal to potential moviegoers that it will feature understandable American English usage, Instagram friendly snippets, and tasteful nudity.

Columbo is mandatory source material for a proper understanding of Selling Sunset/OC. The houses, cars, clothing—the styles have changed but the people are the same.

A lot of people think they’re participating in a Three Days of the Condor scenario to spice up their otherwise boring lives; likewise, they mystify what is most likely a rather boring, procedural editorial process.

Geithner was front man for Obama’s Great Recession team, but Summers was point man. How’d that turn out?

It’s not technically pornography if Ross sees Miss Sweeney’s big naturals in a movie, and thus provides the much needed goon material so often denied him by his Church.

Only men can contemplate the higher realms of mathematics.

Another needles addition to professional literature. Books by the dead for the dead.

That’s one way to get rid of the Syrians.

What motivation is there to be successful in a liberal society if denied the right to be above the rules of conventional sexual morality? J.S. Mill and Virginia Woolf touch on this.

Doubt they could get a summer rental on Martha’s Vineyard, though.

Mr. Show was a nearly impossible DVD to find back in the day.

In contemporary America, having a political opinion is mandatory. Very healthy society indicator.
