#Absurdism on the mind. Magritte’s Son of Man is one of my favorites.

Son of Man with an orange instead of an apple, blood at the neck line, a disembodied crown atop an empty skull. The words “your crown comes off” appears at the bottom.

If you read Sartre, Nietzsche, or Camus, you might appreciate this self-taught classical composer.

9/25 Det finns en specifik skandinavisk humor i detta. Som en film av Roy Andersson, men med kärnvapen. Den där torra, kalla insikten om att allt går åt helvete på grund av ett administrativt fel. #SvenskHumor #Absurdism

10/25 Som Folke Bernadotte försöker diplomaten medla, men i Kubricks värld finns ingen "vit buss". Det finns bara "The War Room" där ingen får slåss (ironiskt nog). Diplomatin är bara en bordsplacering inför undergången. #Historia #Bernadotte

As promised, 2026 will be different.

Due to the declining state of the writing biz and the country, I will be practicing creative privacy.

I will not be selling anymore new fiction.

I just switched here, after creating the instance! Time for a re-introduction.

My initial response to the `Recursive Absurd` was a familiar one: surely we could engineer our way out - with better code, kinder patterns, more humane systems.

I was wrong.

The remedy isn’t cleaner loops - it’s refusing to become one.

Introducing: "Humanist Absurdism"

When the world grows more absurd, more automated, more systematically cruel-
Choosing to remain human, together, becomes the most radical act left.

Today in Labor History December 10, 1896: Alfred Jarry's play, Ubu Roi, premiered in Paris. At the end of the performance, a riot broke out. Many in the audience were confused and outraged by the obscenity and disrespect they felt in the performance. Others, like W. B. Yeats, thought it was revolutionary. Jarry’s work was a precursor to Dada, Surrealism and the Theatre of the Absurd. Ubu Roi is a parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth and parts of Hamlet and King Lear. However, having recently reread the play, I found an uncanny resemblance between Pere Ubu and Donald Trump.

Originally conceived as the first in a trilogy satirizing greed, royalty, religion, stupidity and abuse of power by the wealthy. The two other plays were Ubu Cocu (“Ubu Cuckolded”) and Ubu Enchaîné (“Ubu in Chains”). The opening line of Ubu Roi is “Shit!” Characters had names like MacNure and Pissweet. Ubu’s scepter was a shit-smeared toilet brush. Jane Taylor wrote that Ubu “is notorious for his infantile engagement with his world. Ubu inhabits a domain of greedy self-gratification.” Spanish artist Joan Miró used the image of Ubu Roi to satirize the fascist General Francisco Franco in 50 lithographs.

Color poster. 41.5 x 26.5 cm. 100th Anniversary poster. Defects affecting the type. Ubu Roi is a parody of Macbeth in which a revolutionary (that's our Ubu!) kills the King of Poland and then does a number of other obscene things; a lot of the action is apparently outright nonsense. Ubu's first line is ? Merdre!?, the French word for shit with an extra r added. It's hard to translate misspelled expletives; How is one to duplicate, asked the translator Simon Watson. The majestic, tongue-rolling sonority of the word merdre, given only our bleak, unheroic shit to work on? Top of the poster reads: SHIT! Ubu Rules! 1896-1996. Bottom of poster reads: “Mere Ubu: Now look, Pere Ubu. What kind of king are you? You’re slaughtering everyone.”

Hey folks :FediverseSymbol:

We're sorry that so many of you are also struggling in different ways 🥺😔

We don't imagine there's anything we can do or so that will help, but we watched this video yesterday about:

Perseverance in the Face of Futility

The creator, Lady of the Library, struggles with mental health herself and talks openly about this at a high-level in the video.

It may not help everybody, but we hope that maybe it might help somebody :MentalHealthFlagHeart:

Ever so fitting for our trying times, and a growing conflict for quite a few people (incl. myself), I imagine...

"Absurdism is the philosophical theory that the universe is irrational and meaningless. It states that trying to find meaning leads people into conflict with a seemingly meaningless world. This conflict can be between rational humanity and an irrational universe, between intention and outcome, or between subjective assessment and objective worth..."

Thanks to @richardazia for bringing this back to front of my mind...

#Absurdism

When the self-proclaimed Lords of Chaos meet the Pure Absurdity of the dank, fungal bedlam of Da Bad Moon, they glimpse the difference between performative darkness and the anarchic comedy of the joke the universe tells at its own expense.
