ever
wonder what our country would be like if all its constituent tectonic platelets got to decide who will be ‘president’?
It looks like our coastal regions are mostly pro-Obama——I guess theres a lot of progressive socio-racio-economic ideas floating around in the ocean! A lot of our interior landmass seems to be pretty conservative though. Maybe its a good thing that our...

The Zulu
His angular anatomy expended and collected itself with an effortless spontaneity which is the prerogative of perhaps fairies, or at any rate of those things in which we no longer believe. But he was more. There are certain things in which one is unable to believe for the simple reason that he never ceases to feel them. Things of this sort——things which are always inside of us and...

Autonomist Theory
Autonomist Marxism emphasises the ability of the working class to force changes to the organisation of the capitalist system independent of the state, trade unions, or political parties. Autonomists are less concerned with party political organisation than other Marxists, focusing instead on self-organised action outside of traditional organisational structures. Autonomist Marxism is thus a...

Could you take a Spanish pill?
This is not a trick question or a jab at mexicans/pokemones. I mean, could you theoretically take a pill that would reveal a foreign language to you? Is the mind entirely physical, or is the physical world entirely mental? Or are you a Cartesian dualist? Please justify your response in order to receive full credit/Nobel Prize.
I am interested in how U C the world!

i love you tumblr.
allisonweiss:
Today is a glorious day. I reached a huge milestone in terms of the amount of people following me. Last night this post revealed the exact number, but this morning I decided to take it down.
I’m just super self conscious about telling everyone my number of followers. I always hate it when people blog about who’s following them or who is not. I just think it’s unnecessary.
The...

Thats right. Due to increased popularity (thru more relevant content), [thewaytokilladeadfeeling] has now integrated within the overall Tumblr shell. Though the previous design was conceptually sound in its replication of the experience of International Klein Blue, the new design ambitiously sets its sights at the ready-to-hand Being of Tumblr—allowing it to achieve a level of coherence...

“As modes of Being, authenticity [that is, something of its own] and inauthenticity are both grounded in the fact that any Dasein [that is, ‘Being-There’; a being constituted by its temporality] whatsoever is characterized by mineness. But the inauthenticity of Dasein does not signify any ‘less’ Being or any ‘lower’ degree of Being. Rather it is the case...

To: editors@tumblr.com
Just to let you all know, my tumblr [thewaytokilladeadfeeling], is going to be heading in a new and exciting direction. I believe that placement within the tumblr directory is essential to properly capture the zeal of this cultural upheaval within the overall community. Becoming a “staff pick” would greatly enhance my future endorsement possibilities. And we all know the tumblr...

Woops
It seems like all those posts about pokemon and the simpsons resulted in a blogonomic downturn! Revenue from AA and skype advertising has dried up. My guest-slot on Last Call with Carso Daly was given to Maya Arulpragasam’s son. Sales of “the way to kill a dead” t-shirts/hoodies/palestinian scarfs/thong sandals have plummeted. My once gushing mass of followers and...

Followup:
Crud guys. Didn’t do any of my reading. Now when I go to class I’m gonna have to equate Being to the “being” that Professor Oak reveals by letting me pick Charizard/Bulbasaur/Squirtle, and Time to the “horizon of moments” I spend in my travels from Pallet Town to Cinnabar Island. I’ll have to assume that a pokemon trainer’s Dasein is relatively...

Instead of reading Being and Time for class tomorrow, I just spent about 4 hours getting this game to run on my ipod touch. I know its uncharacteristic and even perhaps nerdy of me to be playing pokemon at this age, but at some point you just have to shout out your love to the world and try your best to deflect its consequences:
Until fully grown
You got a real good shot
Won’t help to...

can't shake the feeling that
Baltimore’s cultural allure doesn’t really outweigh my analysis as a place where suburban kids go to play dress-up and live in pseudo-destitution. Creating an artificial existence in hampden or wherever may assuage one’s own consciousness of a privileged upbringing, but it’s a joke to think that any of the city’s authentic (i.e. truly poor) inhabitants might derive...

snowed[in]
Snow. Snow may be heavy at times in the evening. Total snow accumulation of 12 to 15 inches. Near steady temperature in the lower 20s. East winds 10 to 15 mph…becoming north after midnight. Chance of snow near 100 percent.

just some things my CameraFone personal scene-capturing device has stowed away in its databrain:
my patent-pending orange peeling method
One time my thumb bled, and it was really more brownish green than red, maybe cause I was kinda sick and being rly anti-nutrition to boot. Please don’t say its gross; just trying to document a serious medical condition. After all, we all bleed...

now consider why time gives birth to desire We know what is outside us from the animal’s
face alone: since we already turn
the young child round and make it look
backwards at what is settled, not that openness
that is so deep in the animal’s vision. Free from death.
We alone see that: the free creature
has its progress always behind it,
and God before it, and when it moves, it moves
in...

the animal collective formula:
- four really weird guys
- samplers. tons of them
- quirky chanting, offset by slick unsettling whispers
- an animal, mechanical, mechanimal chorus: beeps, screeches, chirps, gurgles, yelps, glitchy noises. to fill in the gaps.
- at least 10 tracks blaring at all times
- I IV V progression thrown in, to ensure ‘accessibility’ and pop legitimacy

Someday he will know everything, and still be as impotent as before. His youthful dreams of organizing all the bulbs in the world seem impossible now — the Grid is wide open, all messages can be overheard, and there are more than enough traitors out on the line. Prophets traditionally don’t last long — they are either killed outright, or given an accident serious enough to make...

As Byron the Bulb’s hours of use continue to climb, threatening to throw all the capitalist averages out of whack, the Committee on Incandescent Anomalies — whose author knows we can spell that one out for ourselves — the Committee on Incandescent Anomalies sends out a Berlin agent to unscrew Byron. The other bulbs watch, in barely subdued terror. The word goes out along the...
