number 6 版劳斯莱斯能循环放一百遍

Do you know how entrepreneurs and psychologists write? It’s 99 percent packing peanuts, and they get paid for it. There’s something almost artful about it.

The blurbs on mainstream releases, mostly by other authors and journalists of traditional institutions, create the impression that readers of said books experience nirvana on every page. They usually don’t.

catch-up call from home be like: -u go anywhere? -nah. -wyd then? -reading. -reading what? -…poetry. -wow okay must be in a good mood -wait wat? -like, you wouldn’t feel artsy otherwise right? -?? (but just let it go knowing that my banter game is also trash)

if i were made to encounter a Boggart it must be holding an iPhone threatening to fire a notification with the tone set to “Rebound” while remaining incommunicado ad infinitum

NYT 副刊出了个日本文化特刊，看封面觉得不错噢点进去几篇一脸蒙蔽： 第一篇，the Japanese found myriad ways to crystallize and savor impermanence, like wabi sabi, mono no aware, blah blah 好的但是上过学的都知道了？ 第二篇，Japan is best experienced by foot 因为 walking is enlightening and meditative and communual 嗯嗯因为散步就是这样而且以前夸英国人散步你们也是这么说的？ 第三篇，卡哇伊不仅是一种审美，也是一种 consumerism 和 learned helplessness 和 numbing of the mind 和 a story of power and powerlessness，不是老师如果你这么喜欢 critical theory 那对自己的东方主义也可以批判一下？ moral of the story: 1 发在报纸 style 版面的东西认真看图片以外的东西你就已经输了 2 少看 nyt 快乐生活

never smelled the same and would rather not

可能是今年戴口罩闷得太久了吧 现在每次跑步都觉得外面空气好闻到爆炸 像今天这种还下了点小雨的就简直是 porn 级别的体验了

live versions wear so well with looping. even when the melody and lyrics are replayed to the point of boredom, listen instead to the harmonies, instruments or even breathing and voilà there’s a new song prime for another perusal

a pattern of how i eventually get lingering annoyances purged: step 1: ask myself “am i entitled to x?” — where x is the thing i feel has failed or eluded me, which can take anywhere from seconds to days to identify — to which the answer is almost always no, logically or legally or morally or however; step 2: there’s no step 2, Q.E.D.

就不知道这有啥不能翻出来的呢，「有次参加学校作文比赛，我没有交一篇爱国主题作文，歌颂祖国光荣美丽，而是批判了这种比赛的虚伪，描述了作为孩子被迫说这种谎时感到生活的丑陋——『丑陋』就是我的原话，文章里用了不止一次。」 https://archive.is/L5Ryu

Repost:

看了李翊云写去世的两个孩子，评论里有很多指责她的。一个人的生命是被很多层面影响的，母亲只是其中一环，虽重要，但也非决定性。两个孩子都选择结束生命，母亲错了，错在她识字，还写了出来，于是成了罪人。

反复学习 Milchick 的废话语录因为需要 expand my toolkit of linguistic de-escalation assets and situational framing paradigms to navigate emergent operational dynamics within both personal and professional settings

yet another activity/indulgence i’ve found myself returning to in recent months is taking a bus to the southern end of town, going for a short stroll, and getting bused back. the particular bus is nearly empty after 7p as if commissioned just for me, making the 50-min ride a perfect occasion for some off-schedule whimsies: reading a piece usually not on my wavelength, researching with unnecessary zeal for a trivial purchase, etc (between zone-outs stretching for multiple stops). the route is badly lit and bumpy but leads to a waterfront neighborhood that is neat and vibrant and fragrant, like the formulaic reward that must follow an extended journey in fiction. idk, it’s so mundane it barely passes as an itinerary, but does feel like a steal in action to get a cocktail of audiovisual stimuli for under $1 and 0 social interaction

so the thing I like about Severance is how it captures the absurdities of modern and corporate life and turns them up to 11 in a dramatized thought experiment yet, by embedding certain artistic tropes (alienation, autonomy, dualism, biopolitics, etc.) so overtly into its premise, it also ironically obfuscates and questions their intended teachings: it’s arguable that the default state of the self, even without Lumonian manipulation, is already in severance, with innies rotating to be the outie, and it’s relieving to acknowledge their coexistence as sparring partners — “enjoy equally” in Lumon’s newspeak — and the cacophonous nature of the self. reintegration in this sense is a more inauthentic and condescending alteration than severance to the extent that it attempts to impose a canonical, consistent narrative of identity.

unconquered in my yolo the tyrant rules me still the tint bows to my ego but the tang i cannot kill

因为不相关事情需要找 Octopath 的 OST 编曲信息 结果发现作曲本人给每首都写了注释 ？（游戏音乐里除了回梦游仙循环最多可能就是 Primrose’s theme 了 https://note.com/yasunori_nishiki/n/n2b23d6257a43

a working definition of moral crisis: a moral crisis in x occurs when you feel free from fiduciary and parasocial duties to x and engage with matters of x on a more transactional, quid pro quo basis

thanks to carplay 这个音量的逻辑我的一些就是比如说美好的品德甚至是灵魂都会被毁了

kinda metafictional reading “at 4 am I wake” at the 4 am I wake from

再骂

is it just me or can one feel temporarily detached from the present after unplanned exposure to a remote stratum of life as if the brain is taking time and energy to reintegrate

脚注写成这样也能毕业哈
