Walked through an Eames Chairs exhibit and felt like I was attending a funeral, a cultural wake. These chairs once projected post-WWII power through cold elegance. Now they're M&M candies strewn about a gallery, artifacts of empire in twilight. Form followed function, but what was that function when the office itself has died?

If Ice Cube’s “It Was a Good Day” is about survival and reward, Travis Tritt’s “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive” is about peace and simplicity. Two genres, two perfect days, one deep truth: the good life means choosing your own rhythm.

Fuck yeah, here’s one of the original youtube video essayists (back in the day he pioneered the genre together with a small bunch of other formerly Channel Awesome-affiliated folks like Dan Olson/Folding Ideas, Leon Thomas and Lindsay Ellis) reminding us what a video essay can still aspire to be. I’ve often had kind of a hard time with Kyle Kallgren’s essays in recent years, not because he hadn’t worthy things to communicate but rather because he’s grown a tendency to go way overboard with the goofy bits, something he’s not that good at to begin with and a bit of a tired cliché (of youtubers aspiring to be seen as goddamn filmmakers or actors or comedians) i can only take in moderation these days. It’s exactly why i can’t ever make it through, say, a Patrick Willems video (that, plus a number of pretty shallow-to-genuinely-bad, middle-of-the-road takes that had me tune out at some point). I’m actually kinda glad the Channel Awesome-informed days when half-assed comedy bits were deemed mandatory are long gone.
This newest Kallgren video is pure brilliance though. Don’t be too alarmed by that whole youtube standard “Top 20 List” schtick, which is indeed just another satirical bit he thankfully tones down fairly quick to act as more of a springboard for a deeper discussion and commentary on issues regarding the culture we’re fed by the Hollywood- and comic book industrial complex. Give it a spin. It’s worth your time and attention in an era when things worth your time and attention have become kinda hard to find in youtube culture criticism.

FIERY, UNSETTLING, INCISIVE collection of essays delves deep into history and cultural critique as well as the author’s life for a rigorous exploration of power and control, from racism and colonialism to misogyny and sexual violence. A MINUS
