History of billiards and plastics
just randomly exclaimed "priceline... negotiator!" for successfully aiming a stream of raid through the pans hanging on my wall killing a roach. lets just say the roach had it coming to him. i may need to lay down after all this excitement. (imagine im one of those people who would photoshop a can of raid into this photo, and sure, why not, a roach or two. its not like you imagining literally increases the amount of work i have to do.)
whos up for every episode of mad men? starts tomorrow night and ends leading into the series finale on sunday at ten. screen rant has some suggested eps to re-view.
Realism Materialism Art (RMA) introduces a diverse selection of new realist and materialist philosophies and examines their ramifications in the arts. Encompassing neo-materialist theories, object-oriented ontologies, and neo-rationalist philosophies, RMA serves as a primer on “speculative realism,” considering its conceptual innovations as spurs to artistic thinking and practice and beyond. Despite their differences, these philosophical positions propose that thought can and does think outside itself, and that reality can be known without its being shaped by and for human comprehension. Today’s realisms and materialisms explicitly challenge many of the dominant assumptions of cultural practice and theoretical inquiry, opening up new domains of research and artistic inquiry.

Chris Burden RIP
been kind of avoiding the kurt cobain doc, montage of heck, on a loop on hbo this month. but got sucked into it tonight. really well done. combines interviews with home videos growing up and early clubs gigs while animating drawing and doodles from his copious notebooks and bits of himself that he had tape recorded as a youth. and theres other elements of the bricolage like reenactments and sort of stream of consciousness video montages. worth a few minutes at the very least.
Just binge watched two episodes of Grace and Frankie. Well it felt like a binge. Will continue later.

really enjoyed the magnus nilsson episode of the chef's table docu-series on netflix. he runs faviken in the middle of nowhere sweden. dishes on the menu include warm marrowbone which is extracted from a cow's shinbone using a two-man saw in the middle of the dining room itself.
also good was the first one, on massimo bottura.
