The Back Side of Your Gullet is Decadent and Depraved, Part 3

This is Part 3 in a series of 4 about visual culture, consumption, and nourishment. A new part will be posted each weekday. Part 1 · Part 2 · Part 3 (You are here.) · Part 4 (The Future!)

“Some people just can’t handle honesty, I guess,” Paul shrugged.

He poured me a coffee from his thermos and invited me to take a seat in his office. I looked over my shoulder and got one last guilty glance at the student running out crying. I sat down. “What did you say to her?”

“The usual. About how she wasn’t working hard enough. About how when she shows up unprepared it’s a waste of my time, but worse, it steals time from everyone else in the class. How if she’s having issues loving this craft now when she’s doing it for herself, that it’s only going to get more and more difficult to learn to love once she’s got a job with clients.”

After a brief moment of silence, I said, “I think you said something else. You did the part where you say ‘Assuming you get a job,’ didn’t you?”

“Of course! It’s true! She needs to know she has to work harder. She needs to know the reality of the situation. You can’t sugar-coat everything: her work isn’t good enough to pass.”

Coyote Tracks: The Emperor's New Antenna

Coyote Tracks: The Emperor's New Antenna:

So I’ve been thinking about “Antennagate.” First thought: stop fucking calling every scandal “-gate,” for Christ’s sake.

Next thought: so what’s the scoop here? Biggest problem in the history of all of mobile phones, or minor issue blown way out of proportion by the tech media? Neither, of…

Neven Mrgan's tumbl: Fish in a barrel:

Apple came out with updated Mac Pros and iMacs today. I’m an iMac man myself, so that’s what I checked out. Looks nice! Of course, The League of Internet Commenters is busy finding flaws and comparing it to similar offerings from Apple’s competitors. Hardware isn’t my strong suit, but I know half…

Flawless analysis. The man should be a journalist.

If you’ve a bit of time this afternoon or tonight, I think there are many worse things to do than to consider the words and ideas of Mr. Fry for half an hour. He was asked what he wished he knew when he was 18. I think most of the time is spent talking about things corollary to the question, including the relationship of technology and tools to the creative person, social networks, goals, and more.

Also, let it be known that I think Fry can see through walls.

The Eldritch Nightmare of and

Jess: what happens if you open with and close with ?
Wilto: You will awake that night to a dull scraping sound, growing ever louder. A widening crack will appear in your wall, from which inky black tendrils will lash out at you—from which I will emerge, my face twisted in pain, suspended like a lurching, seizing marionette. Your screams will fall upon deaf ears, for I am possessed of a madness that is not my own—I have become a vehicle of dark retribution, stripped of any trace of the humanity I once had. You have played at God, Jess, and there is a penance to be paid.
