metaphor

Light-speed Internet meme communications has been a foundation of movement.

We need to stop worrying about being and - and teach 12 media ecology, society-wide teaching of Neil Postman and Marshall McLuhan. We need to all get on the same pages.

🇬🇧 A few months ago, those 20ish k / 600mEG would have been a challenge . They are now slowly but steadily going toward the "casual daily run" category.

Lost some time looking for water.

🇫🇷 Il y a peu, ce genre de course était un vrai challenge pour moi. À force d'entrainement, je vais bientôt pouvoir la ranger dans la catégorie "je sais pas quoi faire, je vais faire un ptit tour".

I really like #masterchef but tonight's restaurant is pure pretentious wank. They don't serve food, they serve 'installations' 🤮

Proving again that there is a #hmhb song for everything.

We spent some time at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. Here is one of the commissions inside the building:

INSIDE THE HORIZON
2013
Olafur Eliasson
Stainless steel, aluminium, LED light system, coloured glass, mirror
Sonorisation : Samuli Kosminen
5,4 x 91 x 5,2 m

“If we could walk inside our own horizon, the world would appear as closed off as a cave, as reflective as a mirror and as ephemeral as light. For me, the horizon is not a line, it’s a dimension. Questioning one’s own horizon requires us to question linearity and create a new horizon,” Eliasson explains. Venturing inside it is like walking through a kaleidoscope of golden reflections. Running alongside the walkway around the basin stands a series of triangular columns in varying widths. Visitors are invited to wander around them, setting off endless diffracted reflections between the water, the building, the columns and themselves. The space constantly fragments and dissolves into hundreds of facets, plunging visitors into a world of uncertainty and sensory surprises.

In the dance of high contrast, shadows pirouette off staggered, rust-kissed metal doors. Almost too compelling, my camera couldn't resist. Snap! Snap! 📸
高コントラストの舞で、錆びた金属のドアから影が舞い踊ります。あまりにも魅力的で、私のカメラは抗えませんでした。シャッター!シャッター!📷

Pro-tip:

Whenever you listen that the fella tells you that he/she knows what they are doing ....the best thing you can do is put down the phone.

No point wasting time with the monkey, who failed to understand the requirements. And in a valiant stupid attempt try to impress ya.

Bet on your luck ...difficult to stand pretentious people ...

Their approach tells you all, whether they have a genuine one or not.

It's important to have little, easily achievable hopes and #aspirations.

One of mine is that I never become so #pretentious and yet so banal as to enjoy reading "The New Yorker".

This is my beach finds box frame entitled
"Skeletal Plague Doctor", or something equally pretentious.

Everybody in Brighton is an artist. Many of us are bad. :-) ;-)

I usually follow back, and love boosts.

Read my ★ review of the recent Noah Baumbach film "White Noise," which like my look the other day at the 1985 novel this was adapted from turned out to be a pretentious, nearly unwatchable disaster, promising thrills about mind-controlling drugs and "airborne toxic events" but in reality just another endlessly talky MFA festival snoozer. letterboxd.com/jasonpettus/fil

Read my ★ review of "The Whale," the most depressing, exploitative, unintentionally hilarious piece of Oscarbait in the history of depressing, exploitative, unintentionally hilarious Oscarbait. Bonus MST3K points for Darren Aronofsky adding a horror-movie soundtrack every time Brendan Fraser opened a candy bar! boxd.it/3ULBIr

I'm Dom, 32, #bi / #polyam (not into cis dudes afaik tho lol), I'm a #translator, I play a lot of #videogames (loving #indiegames), although gamers (tm) are exhausting. I #speedrun as well, so check out my #twitch and #youtube for that.

Also I live with my wonderful #family and four #cats which I occasionally toot pictures of.

Here's #Catholic #World's #Review of John #Steinbeck's last #Novel:
The #Winter of Our #Discontent (1961):

It is #Regrettable that the #Author... invested the #Book w/ #MumboJumbo & #HocusPocus involving a #Talisman, a #Female #Witch, & #Ambiguous #Religious #Significance that results in a #Contrived, #Pretentious #Story...
-
The #Title is from #Shakespeare's #RichardIII:

"Now is the winter of our discontent
Made #Glorious #Summer by this sun [or son] of #York."

#Writer #WritingCommunity

Closeup of Steinbeck's book cover for The Winter of Our Discontent. The cover shows a blue sky over Sag Harbor. 
The Winter of Our Discontent is John Steinbeck's last novel and the title is taken from the first two lines of William Shakespeare's Richard III: "Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun [or son] of York". 
This is Steinbeck's only book set on the East Coast in Sag Harbor, New York.
