Likes words + pictures. Still here (in academia, thinking about contemporary lit, visual culture, & politics of aesthetics). Coined the phrase "It's Adam & Eve, not Adam & Jeeves" as a [bad] argument against labour exploitation.

"Given the controversies, I was surprised to see how much grace and dignity Avedon affords most of his subjects." I saw this exhibit. Really powerful, and frankly it reduced my fear of aging. Go see it - it's free! www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

Last week, we spoke to Lindsay, the owner of Phramacare Drugmart on Broadview, and she said she is getting Pfizer on October 26th. I'd call to double check.

This is *the* main continuity between neo-fascism and the 20th Century variety. Erich Fromm argued exactly this in "Escape From Freedom," saying that modernity left many alienated and socially dislocated--and fascist strongmen promised to restore meaning and purpose to their lives.

Shawn's coinage of "agitslop" for AI political slop is perfect (derived from the old term agitprop - agitation propaganda). Let's make that a new standard term for that kind of garbage.

preach, brother
 Farrar acknowledged Bouie’s criticism that his attitude was defeatist; he is defeatist. And cynical. And jaded. Being the unintentional voice of political pessimism can make a person something of a pessimist.

Over 10 years, he’s been taught to be skeptical that consequences or karma still exist for some. The system, as he sees it, is rigged towards elite impunity, and nothing in the last decade has proved him wrong yet.

“I think if you keep betting on ‘Nothing happens,’ you’re only wrong once, and then it’s like, ‘Well, great. I’m glad I was wrong,” Farrar said. “But until then, I’ve racked up a million victories on ‘Bad things don’t happen to powerful people.’ That’s how the world is organized, you know.”
