Onde o deslumbramento germina
Uma amiga estava vendo um trechinho em vídeo vertical no Instagram desse flashmob lançado hoje. Fui catar no YouTube. São 19 minutos de lágrimas ou pelo menos de emoção: ver dezenas, centenas (3 centenas no caso) de pessoas se reunindo para criar arte, para fazer música brotar no meio da cidade é uma das coisas mais especiais que a humanidade é capaz de fazer! Nenhuma tecnologia se compara e, infelizmente, andamos meio sem foco para o humano no meio de tanto esforço comercial para nos vender coisas.
Antes que digam qq coisa, sim, esse flashmob também é comercial, é diferente dos primeiros há mais de 20 anos, é um flashmob produzido por artistas que constroem carreias em mídias sociais, mas ainda é lindo e chorei!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhbbPxCtyxc
Na descrição tem os artistas que participam. Achei até que as crianças que cantam Believer eram as do One Voice Childresn Choir:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUQheX3PSnY
… Que também são arrepiantes!
Mas, então, comecei a lembrar dos primeiros flashmobs, quem inventou isso, que gênio! E digo quem: o coletivo de pessoas em redes sociais (não mídias como são hoje Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. redes sociais de verdade! Como IRC, BBS, NewsGroups, Orkut).
O primeiro que lembro era de guarda-chuvas. Não achei, mas era simplesmente “Galera, todo mundo no lugar tal, hora tal, a gente abre os guarda-chuvas por 5 minutos e depois debanda!”. Teve um na Cinelândia no Rio de Janeiro, se não me engano. Também teve de guerra de travesseiros no Largo do Machado.
Algumas vezes o flashmob exigia uma grande dose de desiniibção e confiança que os colegas iam se engajar também, como no No Pants Day de 2013 em NY:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAGeYkpSszE
Qual era a graça? A graça tinha a ver com liberdade, com diversidade, mas o meu site sobre cibercultura e análise de comportamento é o Meme de Carbono. Aqui é um espaço de memórias e sentimentos.
Mas eu queria resgatar flashmobs musicais antigos, então fui catar!
Achei uns que eu não vi na época, como esse há 15 anos, lindo, lindo! Com estudantes, adolescentes, dançando a Waka para angariar fundos para uma escola no Kenia:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtzqqgE3kA
Flashmob raiz era assim: o pessoal se reunia de repente, fazia a ação e dispersava como se nada tivesse acontecido! Para mim isso tinha um significado forte, como se a coletividade pudesse aflorar a qualquer momento, se unir para fazer arte ou se divertir e dispersar de novo.
Era comum pessoas nada a ver com o flashmob se misturarem! Bem divertido!
Claro que tudo se mercantiliza e há 14 anos já existiam flashmobs-propaganda, mas ainda com uma alma meio coletiva, como esse de cartão de crédito:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROPesXv2z1U
Voltando um pouco para o presente e para flashmobs produzidos, tenho que comentar o Master of the Tides! Lançado há 12 anos!
Além de gostar muito da música e do clipe, serve para fazer justiça à tecnologia: ela não tem alma, mas pode ser usada para ecoar a alma! Esse é um dos primeiros clipes independentes que eu conheço em que caixas de som portáteis foram usadas para espalhar o som pela rua mantendo a sincronia. Tecnologia bem usada nos permite fazer coisas lindas!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrutzRWXkKs
O Flashmob musical mais antigo que achei no YouTube foi um tributo ao Michael Jackson há 17 anos!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVJVRywgmYM
Se você procurar por flashmob e o nome de uma música famosa, banda, tema, certamente achará muita coisa emocionante! Quanto mais antigo, mais espontâneo, não que produções como a primeira desse post não sejam maravilhosas, mas muitas vezes o mais simples é o que mais nos emociona, como “mob” envolvendo música e dança que vi, há 10 anos, e comentei somente dois anos depois no post Além do momento de beleza e poesia:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSLR6uKTZX4
Finalmente… Flashmob também pode ser político e, talvez, na essência de todos eles esteja a semente da mobilização política!

A Christmas Coral: Great Books That Never Were 🪸
A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas is a famous Charles Dickens novella from 1843. It is not as good as the Muppet Christmas Carol special film (1992) of the same work (the one with Michael Caine in it).
However, better yet is the 1991 classic A Christmas Coral by novelist Dick Charles. This was his last work he ever had published, for he was abducted by aliens in 1993 and hasn’t been heard from since. Thus, this beautiful book is a testament to his existence prior to abandoning life on Earth.
Just Keep Swimming in A Christmas Coral
“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour. Oh, except whooping cough syndrome. That’s pretty contagious…”
The story follows the life of Ebenezer Scurvy in 1762, a pirate whom is a bit of a miserable prick. However, when he’s mercilessly attacked by a great white shark the blood loss leads to him viewing the world in a more upbeat way.
As he floats about in the ocean with a limb missing, he recalls his life in a series of hallucinations. The chapters go like this:
- Prologue
- Birth
- Childhood
- Formative years at Yarr University
- SHIVER ME TIMBERS!!!
- Recession
- More recession
- Plague outbreak
- Scurvy outbreak
- Pirating years
- Shark attack and limb loss
- Further pontifications
- Death and absorption by the ocean
- Epilogue
A Christmas Coral is notorious for its tediousness. The work is 1,100 pages and rambles a fair bit. It also makes references to more modern life, which is somewhat anachronistic given the work is supposed to be set in 1762.
“For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself. And if you’re unaware about that reference, I’m on about Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone.”
Many literary critics were at pains to point out Macaulay Culkin could not possibly have starred in Home Alone circa 1762 as:
- Macaulay Culkin wasn’t alive
- Cinema didn’t exist
To set the record straight on this matter, Professional Moron reached out via telepathy to Dick Charles for a comment. He declined to comment. As such, his legacy is in ruins and this book is stupid woopid.
Addendum Thesis: Is The Christmas Carol Even Related to Christmas in Any Way?
We’re ending this review on a mini-dissertation, for there’s much scholarly musing over whether A Christmas Carol is, indeed, a work of Xmas-related literature. There are three core postulations:
- Yes, it is
- No, it is not
- Maybe
Compelling arguments, all, but we tend to side on the front of “maybe” as it’s the most apathetic. Yet, on reflection, we feel we may change our stance to “yes” as that’s the most nonsensical, but plausible.
We mean, it’s there in the title: A Christmas Carol.
The work may not go on to have anything to do about Christmas, or corals for that matter, but it’s there in the name and, therefore, that is a convincing argument (if one a tad childlike in its reasoning). Plus, the book references Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone and that’s about as Xmas as it gets, eh?

Restoring tropical reefs of the Great Barrier Reef and Small Island Nations and avoiding ecological imperialism and ongoing colonialism
"Between1820 and 1930, over 50 million Europeans colonised a relatively small number of countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South American countries such as Argentina and Uruguay."
The" traditional owners of the land saw this process as an invasion whereby the invaders not only occupied their land and sea country but set out to actively re-model their traditional ecosystems...Colonisers justified the persistent push to import the familiar plants and animals from the homeland given the unfamiliarity of newly colonised landscapes and climates, as well as their lack of knowledge of how to harness the local flora and fauna for food, fibre, clothes and transportation."
"Colonisers proactively sought to make their new home like their old home based on their Western concept of what a ‘natural’ landscape should look like. Cattle and sheep were widely introduced and distributed across the new nation...Acclimatisation Society commenced in 1862 and was operating up until 1956 to introduce new crops to the colonies...This rural industry development caused the significant flow-on effect of biodiversity loss. In Australia alone, twenty species of mammals have been declared extinct, and nearly half of marsupial and monotreme species are now on the extinct, endangered or vulnerable list ..."

Many #CoralReefs are dying. This one is exploding with life.
Scientists recently observed a rare phenomenon on a reef in #Cambodia that left them in awe — and filled them with hope.
By Benji Jones@BenjiSJones Mar 14, 2024
"Globally, coral reefs, which underpin commercial fisheries and protect coastlines from storms, have declined by half since the 1950s, largely due to #ClimateChange. Spells of extreme #MarineHeat break down the relationship between #coral and a type of symbiotic #algae that gives it both food and its vibrant colors. The coral turns white — a process referred to as #bleaching — and can then easily starve to death.
"The reefs in Cambodia and in the broader #EastAsian region, however, appear to be bucking this trend. Surveys indicate that they haven’t declined in recent decades, perhaps because they’re more resilient to warming. Their secret to survival may ultimately help safeguard ailing reefs elsewhere."

The massive die-offs of the global coral reefs should be a concern to all of us.
With the increasing ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching due to a symbiosis breakdown between coral polyps and algae, research on how to prevent this is ongoing.
Italian scientists have found that using antioxidants, like curcumin, to combat the reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation causing bleaching protects the coral symbiosis.
