truth bombs

zzz

lol

NA keeping the truth bomb thread righteous with his prescient takedowns of high art.

Sorry if I fucked up the thread with truth bombs like "dude everyone knows you're supposed to pound a 'dew when you eat at taco bell. its like white wine and fish."

the high arts markers of 1914

blink 1892

i see your point about high, old, dead art forms but i don't think it's that simple is all. i see substantial barriers to entry for supposedly lower forms like tv; for instance, it's cheaper for me to go to a modern dance performance than it is to watch a single ep of breaking bad. i may be able to score it for free but i have to do more and less enjoyable mental work than i would if i went to the performance, plus constantly be on top of whatever tech is required and that shit breaks i mean "improves" all the time. there is definitely a distinction that exists between high culture art and low culture art but it is nearly as old as high culture art itself is and at this point in time does not very cleanly break along class lines. i mean if you want to talk about relevant aesthetic binaries i think one that is less of a red herring here is consumptive vs participatory art. xp

i think a really fucked up idea is that consumption is inherently more class-authentic and should be respected or pandered to as such.

Most of the class barriers on art today are soft barriers that are self-policed/enforced by people without even realizing it. It's all basically like Chelsea art galleries -- you can go in free, but will you feel comfortable doing so/will you feel like it's your place to do so/does it seem to you like "your kind of thing" based on how you've been cast by ideology? TV watching choices are still heavily class influenced too, it's just that the bourgeois/high-class TV today takes pains to make itself not seem stuffy or snobby.

i went to MoMa this year and it was standing-room only in that place.

yeah that's why i never go in the galleries any more -- too crowded (I'm in the basement watching '50s pulp movies).

lex sure "annoys" a lot of straight white dudes

the way Collins pronounces "I" as AHHHHHHH is akin to hearing bombs falling on a village.

Some for-real wisdom there.

ya that was great

if u think someone is stupid, demonstrate this with superior arguments rather than blazing away with the opprobrium imo, makes u look like u were in it for the opprobrium to start with

fuck that

imago taking a controversial stand against ad hominems

more pro-tip than truth bomb

I've been truthbombed for mild tone-policing, lol

what I mean to say is fuck it, if u think progress only cones thru violence then who am I to deny u, but vicious stupid-calling is energy misplaced & what wd estela do basically

jpgs of cones exploding, all right with ilx again

estela would employ elegantly vicious stupid-calling

exactly

this is a matter of fluid aesthetics

feel like everyone shd follow their hearts and manifest their most final form

show me the way lagún

"idk after that he just.....idk. faded into light...."

first gather up all yr owns and feed them to the fire, let the smoke cleanse you

idk maybe im in a kinda raw place tonight or sthing but I opened my desktop and a popup appeared and said avg has protected you from several threats recently and I nearly wept in gratitude at this strange and unasked for but directly acknowledged and calmly asserted kindness strange night strange times

sadly if you click the link it usually turns out AVG is lying to you

who can we trust

funny you shd ask, i have a new kind of social network to show you

Truth bomb about ILX, found elsewhere:

'ironic review' did it first iirc (lee and herring)

No offense to Dylann, who this was aimed at, but I think emil.y gets the 2014 truth bomb award with this one:

People who believe their lives are stories tend to behave like the people who surround them are characters in their stories and not living autonomous human beings. This is some major bullshit.

77 bomb unfortunately

Also xxp kinder otm and ironic review was the prototype for Challop Theory as discussed on this board for like a decade, so that comic is extra redundant here

yeah I actually thought I posted a response a few days ago about how there was nothing truth bomby about identifying the phenomenon of a challop in 2014, but I guess I didn't hit submit?

77 bomb unfortunately
