Light-speed Internet meme communications has been a foundation of #Trumpism #MAGA movement.
We need to stop worrying about being #pretentious and #condescending - and teach #EveryPersonOverAge 12 media ecology, #EmergencyCrashCourse 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.

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 #hiring 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. https://letterboxd.com/jasonpettus/film/white-noise-2022/

Read my ★★ review of "Infinity Pool," the disappointing and nonsensical third feature of Brandon Cronenberg, son of famous horror pioneer David. https://boxd.it/3UODIT

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! https://boxd.it/3ULBIr

New instance, so I suppose it's time for a new #introduction.
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.
I like #silly and #queer things, I'm into #musicals and #pretentious #art #discourse, no matter the art.
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."
