  1. Absurd Nr.10 - Trip to Mars
    absurd.website/trip-to-mars/
    A real-time spaceflight simulator stretched across seven months, turning patience into the core mechanic.
    It transforms waiting into gameplay and distance into lived experience.

  2. Absurd Nr.08 - Offset your CO2 emissions
    absurd.website/offset-your-car
    A parody carbon-offset project where ecological guilt is redirected into buying the artist a Tesla.
    It turns moral consumption into a selfish and transparent transaction.

  3. CW: Drawn depiction of apocalyptic chaos, blood and inferred (but not explicitly detailed) cannibalism (in an occult, dark humor setting)
  4. CW: CW: Discussion of Multiplicity (OSDD), Inner Worlds, Nature of Self, Lack of Reasonable Existential Terror, Strong Language

    Holy shit.

    OK, so I mentioned before how I'm a kepholon (effectively a fluid, quasi-fused state of four alters in a tall trenchcoat).

    So, I'm talking about what that means with a friend, and I'm talking about my inner world, the Theater, where every one of my alters has a room. The Blue Room, the Red Room, the Yellow Room, the Violet Room, and the Black...Room.......

    That's when I realized I don't have a room back there. And when I wondered why, I realized that...oh. I'm...uh...I don't actually have an inner self, I guess? Or not an independent one. Inside, I'm always four. Outside, I can be this one or any combination of my comprising four. But inside?

    There's no Ellis in the Theater.

    Except for the spotlight. The spotlight, when all four of my fronting alters sync up on stage, turns indigo. And then I exist. Not an individual consciousness but a collective, emergent process.

    I end when they stop.

    That's so weird to think about. Thank Camus I'm an absurdist. These kinds of thoughts could fuck a girl up!

  5. I'm a big Camus fan - a new adaptation of The Stranger by Francois Ozon (in French, of course) will premiere at the Venice Film Festival. It stars Benjamin Voisin as Mersault, and it looks great. Psyched to see this one.

  6. update: now a thread! 🧵 1/?

    philosophers are like a buffet - take what's useful, leave what's not

    Marx, so much to say here:
    - he saw the chains clearly but didn't realize how many would learn to love their shackles
    - understood class consciousness but couldn't predict how effectively spectacle would fragment it
    - mapped capital's structure perfectly but missed how it would mutate to survive

    Camus gets it - life's absurd, might as well embrace it and find joy in the revolt

    Zizek's fun but needs *sniff* to get to the fucking point *sniff* faster *sniff*

    Nietzsche understood the death of god but his übermensch concept got hijacked by fascist dipshits who couldn't read. and don't even get me started on either: the gross misreading of what he actually believed about nihilism and the antisemitic shit added after death

    Stirner needed to learn to shitpost - imagine writing a whole book about rejecting social constructs and then getting mad when people don't take your social construct (egoism) seriously enough

    LaVey got the hedonism right but was too caught up in Randian bullshit to see the bigger picture

    Spinoza knew what was up with determinism but needed to loosen his collar a bit

    Bataille understood the connection between sex, death, and the sacred - my kind of freak

    Deleuze got that desire is revolutionary but wrote like he was being paid by the syllable

    Rawls is too optimistic about human nature but his veil of ignorance is a useful thought experiment

    Foucault nailed power dynamics but missed some practical applications

    Sartre had good ideas but was kind of a dick about them

    Butler understood gender as performance but academia made it too complex for the masses who needed to hear it

    but honestly? give me Diogenes any day - that's praxis you can use... nothing says 'fuck your system' like jerking off in public and living in a barrel

    or maybe i'm just a silly chaos witch who likes to fuck with people's expectations. could be both. probably is both.
