You don't make countercultural art only in hopes of changing politics (though that's a fine aim), you make countercultural art so that there's a vibrant, appealing and beautiful alternative culture for people to participate in and find meaning within.

Oh.
Searle's paper, titled "Dazed & Confused: A Large-Scale Real-World User Study of reCAPTCHAv2," found that Google's widely-used CAPTCHA system is primarily a mechanism for tracking user behavior and collecting data while providing little actual security against bots. The study revealed that reCAPTCHA extensively monitors users' cookies, browsing history, and browser environment (including canvas rendering, screen resolution, mouse movements, and user-agent data) — all of which can be used for advertising and tracking purposes. Through analyzing over 3,600 users, the researchers found that solving image-based challenges takes 557% longer than checkbox challenges and concluded that reCAPTCHA has cost society an estimated 819 million hours of human time valued at $6.1 billion in wages while generating massive profits for Google through its tracking capabilities and data collection, with the value of tracking cookies alone estimated at $888 billion.

This 100% except it's nothing new. Production has been increasingly divorced from actual needs of consumers since the 1920s thanks to Edward Bernays. I think it's just harder to notice the "needs that are constructed by advertising" that around at our birth vs. the ones created in our lifespan.

Due to recent events, this week's laserdisc rip is the Twin Peaks Visual Soundtrack. A Japan-exclusive disc from 1992 featuring Angelo Badalamenti's score set against a bunch of B-roll that a Japanese film crew captured of various places in Snoqualmie, Washington
Title card reading "TWIN PEAKS Visual Soundtrack MUSIC COMPOSED BY ANGELO BADALAMENTI"External shot of a wooden building with a prominent sign reading "BIG EDD'S FAMILY DINING"Two men fishing in a river with a Japanese subtitle reading (italicized) "あなたの微笑みを見た時"Nine slices of pie (cherry in the middle)

The deep irony of course being that X was one of the most most significant tools of propaganda last year. Not enough people talking about "The Art of The Surge" as highly produced, pure, unadulterated propagandistic TV that co-opts documentary aesthetics to create the appearance of objectivity.

What hypothetical dream films would you greenlight if you could? I'd love a gnostic gospel adaptation by Eggers (starring Dafoe) so much, don't get my hopes up like this Robert.

David Lynch changed how I think about art. Very sad to hear of his passing today. I wrote a bit about what his work has meant to me over here: open.substack.com/pub/thomasfl...

My favorite little character trope in tv and film is when they pour a ridiculous amount of sugar in their coffee. You're like "Oh... this guy's got personality... He's just a little bit *unhinged*"

Every day there are people who wake up and their aspiration in life is to make the world of Blade Runner a reality.

Maybe the clearest feature of AI writing is just how mind-numbingly boring it is (especially stylistically). Which has this weird side-effect where now I just assume everything boring was written by an AI.
