Text of the page (random words):
t the only way to change the political system it s not even a viable way of changing the political system the fuckwits who make this claim are almost always electoral locusts they show up every four years to piss away their vote then bury themselves in the earth until the next presidential election during which they complain loudly and insistently about how their vote doesn t count you want your vote to count vote in local elections vote in county and state elections elect your third party candidates to the school board or the board of supervisors or any sort of local elected office where shit actually gets done get your third party candidates into your state legislature it s not as sexy as a presidential race sure but if you really want change you do that and you do it in towns and counties and statehouses across the u s that s how you begin to build a political base then you nurture the shit out of those candidates you get elected support them with a small donation of time and or money nurture it and your third party will grow even those shit for brains tea party asshats were smart enough to do that which is why there are states that keep passing stupid laws against the teaching of evolution if you allow your county and state to elect people who believe idiotic shit like the bill of rights is based on the fucking bible because you think only presidential elections are worth your time and effort then fuck you and the no difference between trump and clinton horse you rode in on you ve got the government you deserve you support a woman s reproductive freedom you want to implement effective gun safety legislation you want to see more bike paths and more art funding and renewable energy sources and an end to fracking you re not going to get any of that shit by voting for garyjohnson or jill stein because they re not going to get elected you get that shit by voting for progressives at the state and county level that s where the laws that shape the lives of regular folks get written you want to see real change then grunting isn t enough you want real change you have to do the actual grunt work posted in election 2016 stuff that s just fucking stupid 137 replies gibson got there first posted on july 11 2016 by greg reply william gibson was there first of course he was he almost always seems to get there first i m talking pokemon go folks not the pokemon part but the go part the use of augmented reality for the enjoyment and or education of well anybody in his 2007 novel spook country gibson describes an art project referred to as locative art art that s meaningfully tied to a specific location cartographic attributes of the invisible she said lowering the bowl spatially tagged hypermedia the artist annotating every centimeter of a place of every physical thing visible to all on devices such as these she indicated alberto s phone as if its swollen belly of silver tape were gravid with an entire future granted what gibson created in his head is a lot more cool than pokemon his fictional locative artists created geo located scenes depicting the deaths of celebrities river phoenix outside the viper room helmut newton in the driveway of the chateau marmont these scenes were invisible to anybody not using the tech visible to those who were the concept of pokemon go is much the same it s not actually there but it s there to be seen and in the case of pokemon there to be caught i m sure at some point gibson will comment on pokemon go but i wouldn t even try to guess what he ll think about it it s certainly not the sort of augmented reality he had in mind he said he wanted locative art to be lowbrow almost like graffiti there s nothing highbrow about pokemon but they are exceedingly commercial gibson uses locative art as an example of the eversion of cyberspace turning cyberspace inside out the ubiquity of cellular connectivity allows what used to be an activity located only in the consensual hallucination of the online world to filter into the physical world in the novel this sort of augmented reality artwork required a visor and a phone niantic the makers of pokemon go have eliminated the visor that means you and anybody else can now wander around your neighborhood and discover the shared hallucination of pokemon lurking in the neighbor s azaleas or on the sidewalk in front of a shop photo by kora foto morgana in 2007 gibson through one of his characters in spook country says this the most interesting ways of looking at the gps grid what it is what we do with it what we might be able to do with it all seemed to be being put forward by artists artists or the military that s something that tends to happen with new technologies generally the most interesting applications turn up on the battlefield or in a gallery gibson left out gaming clever guy gibson but not 100 prescient the gaming industry sometimes seems to exist at the intersection of the military and art and they re quick to embrace new technologies regardless of pokemon go s long term success or failure as a game this mixing of the real and the virtual is very cool and has a lot of potential for creative work i hope this sparks a lot more uses of augmented reality by the gaming industry by artists and maybe even writers why the hell not william gibson i declare posted in current events stuff i like a lot stuff i think about leave a reply proust pivot lipton posted on july 7 2016 by greg 20 there s a semi interesting article in the new yorker titled how the proust questionnaire went from literary curio to prestige personality quiz i say semi interesting because it takes what i think is an interesting idea the evolution of a questionnaire a lot of folks are familiar with and turns it into a fairly pretentious exercise which is a thing most of us love and hate about the new yorker the new yorker is one of the few places where you ll find a line like this it s safe to say that today the sainte beuvian paradigm has triumphed if not among literary critics then certainly in the culture at large i guess that is safe to say if only because hardly anybody would know what the fuck you were talking about unless they d read the article in the new yorker and maybe not even then but despite that it s actually interesting to have some glimpse into the origins of the questionnaire i became familiar with the questionnaire because of james lipton s odd talk show inside the actors studio lipton interviews actors or directors and an occasional screenwriter about their craft it began in 1994 as a sort of filmed seminar for students in the actors studio drama school a one one one informal but intensely personal interview with somebody who actually works in the business over time it s become a popular show in its own right the show often reaches a pretension level that can rival the new yorker but i ve never seen an episode that wasn t worth watching that said i wouldn t entirely disagree with the sunday times critic who described the show as j ust a chat show on satellite but the veil of education and posterity is held decorously high so everybody turns up and talks with a smile each episode ends with lipton asking a series of ten questions that he attributes to french television personality bernard pivot who did a similar show devoted to writers pivot said his list of questions was inspired by marcel proust proust got the idea from a popular 18th century parlor game he learned from antoinette faure and the green grass grows all around all around if you re really curious about all this then you re probably the sort of person the article in the new yorker was written for and you should probably go read it most folks though are primarily interested in the questionnaire the actual ten questions themselves some of the questions are pedestrian some are silly some are insightful but it was always interesting to see how various actors directors writers would answer them obviously i m going to give the questions and my own answers but i m genuinely curious to see how other folks would answer them as well so here we go what is your favorite word ownself it s a southernism i think at least i ve never heard anybody outside of the deep south use it in the same way as southern folk do it means yourself or myself of course but in a more deeply personal and possessive sort of way saying my ownself or your ownself emphasizes the ownership of whatever the hell you re talking about for example saying i ll do it myself doesn t carry the same level of investment or commitment as i ll do it my ownself which is less invested than i ll do it my own damn self what is your least favorite word any hateful slur kike nigger faggot pick one what turns you on smart people what turns you off willfully stupid people you know folks who are capable of learning and understanding but either can t be bothered to learn or refuse to learn because it would make them doubt something they believed willfully stupid people can fuck right off what sound or noise do you love water rippling around stones what sound or noise do you hate leaf blowers i fucking hate leaf blowers what is your favorite curse word i don t really have a favorite i m sort of partial to cocksucker though it s not an expression i use i like it because it was used beautifully and creatively in the hbo series deadwood hbo s the wire did something similar with motherfucker but the wire s motherfucker lacked the deep profound sense of commitment to obscenity that we saw in deadwood s cocksucker what profession other than your own would you like to attempt architect maybe or investigative epidemiologist what profession would you not like to do anything to do with accounting if heaven exists what would you like to hear god say when you arrive at the pearly gates i always have trouble with this premise it s like saying if you had your own personal dragon what would you do with it but you have to play the game by the rules so if heaven existed and if there was a god waiting to greet me i guess i d like to hear her say hi come on in we have an extensive library and there are no leaf blowers so that s me what about you posted in confessional crap stuff i think about things i learned from television 20 replies hillary fbi scandal omfg you guys posted on july 6 2016 by greg 4 hillary is not going to prison you guys who could have predicted this nobody could have predicted this this was totally unpredictable nostradamus on his best day could not have predicted this well okay anybody who read actual news accounts of the email scandal rather than all the opinion pieces could have predicted it the facts are surprisingly clear hillary clinton became secretary of state in 2009 and almost immediately asked for a secure phone like the one the national security agency provided for president obama the nsa said no clinton and her staff said oh c mon let me have a secure phone the nsa said nope sorry the clinton folks said okay how about if you just give a few high level staff a waiver like you did for condi rice and her staff the nsa said yeah no we don t do that anymore the clinton folks got a face to face meeting with seven senior state department staffers with five nsa security experts and said guys we really need a secure phone system the nsa said what you guys are still here okay you can give hillary one of these sectera edge the clinton folks said are you fucking kidding me the nsa said sure it s clunky and weighs almost a pound and yeah it s so awkward our own it techs think it s difficult to use oh and the trusted display the one you have to use for secure communications is really really really tiny also it runs on windows ce which is a wee bit slow because the operating system was already 13 years old in 2009 and by the way the state department will have to buy and install a whole new secure server
