I am off to the gwoon. This is a picture of where Fedor Emlianenko trains. My money’s on him to win tonight. Anyone else out there watching the fight tonight?

Robocop 1924

So it shoots teargas out of its robo-dick? Are we sure Warren Ellis didn’t think this up and go back in time to deliver it?

unburyingthelead:

- Everything written symbols can say has already passed by. They are like tracks left by animals. That is why the masters of meditation refuse to accept that writings are final. The aim is to reach true being by means of those tracks, those letters, those signs - but reality itself is not a sign, and it leaves no tracks. It doesn’t come to us by way of letters or words. We can go towards it, by following those words and letters back to what they came from. But so long as we are preoccupied with symbols, theories and opinions, we will fail to reach the principle.

- But when we give up symbols and opinions, aren’t we left with the utter nothingness of being?

- Yes.

- Kimura Kyuho, Kenjutsu Fushigi Hen [On the Mysteries of Swordsmanship], 1768

Outrage over wall blocking free U2 Berlin concert

Outrage over wall blocking free U2 Berlin concert:

Both Berliners and tourists alike saw the irony in building a wall around a concert dedicated to the wall that already has come down.

In the grand scheme of “People With Their Heads Up Their Own Asses” there’s a whole class of that order labeled “Bono and U2 Level”

“The great banks of the world have gone on a p.r. counteroffensive in Europe, and are sending spokescrooks in shiny suits into churches to persuade the masses that Christ would have approved of the latest round of obscene bonuses. Goldman Sachs international adviser Brian Griffiths explains it this way: that Christ’s famous injunction to love others as one would love oneself actually means that one should love oneself as one would love oneself. This seemingly baffling outburst by a Goldman executive in what appears to have been a prepared speech — someone actually wrote this, and thought about it, before saying it out loud — gets even weirder when one tries to figure out what could possibly have motivated this person, and by extension his employer Goldman Sachs, to make such statements in such a place as St. Paul’s Cathedral. Because there are only a couple of possibilities, and both of them are equally unnerving. One is that they know how preposterous this is and are just saying this shit because they think enough people will fall for it that it will end up being a net plus, optics-wise. I seriously doubt this and think the converse is much more likely: that they actually believe this to be true, or are trying to believe it is true, and by making the case publicly hope to persuade the world to see the light (and just maybe reaffirm to themselves in the process) and embrace the Orwellian propositions that greed is love and taking is sharing.”

What is there to even say beyond “are you. fucking. kidding me?” … It’s like debating torture, even having to have this conversation is wounding us all.

"The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, shit detector."

“The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, shit detector.”

- Ernest Hemingway (via @parisreview) (via sagittarian)

Hemingway was a more than fantastic writer, but this line is really ironic coming from him as few in his time were so extraordinarily full of shit… In other words, My very own finely tuned shit detector is going wild on this one.

I contend that David Byrne, like Gore Vidal, is dangerously close to becoming that kooky old guy with stupid, kooky, old guys ideas (past his prime).

(not that I should talk, being a curmudgeon with dumb ideas who isn’t even out of his 20’s… BUT STILL, C’mon Byrne!)

BREAKING: Peter Feld’s gonna school you on New York City politics tonight.

Is it going to be anything like his absolute joke of “10 Reasons to Vote For Bloomberg” that were so full of shit that I wasn’t even sure if it was satire? If so… I’m not sure that the Library of Congress allows that to fall under the Category “Schooling”
