I wish everyone could get the same number of eighth chances as a 41 year old sex pest with a Nazi tattoo

And that's what it's all about folks, saving money for our big beautiful illness-maintenance apparatus

Spend your Friday afternoon reading a transcript of three renegade Jungians discussing archetypes

The Jungian dilemma: if you make Jung 'less weird', you kill what makes Jung Jung.

Sincerely wondering if anyone else on the planet is watching the women's golf US Open while working their day job while reading A Thousand Plateaus. I didn't think so.

Origami Chicken aka Cassie Fielding takes us on a tour of what it means to be an artist, and how this in turn transforms the way we must think about Jungian archetypes. Come for the takes on art, stay for the gauntlet thrown down about archetypal theory.

This spring I went through Anti-Oedipus with @elbarto.bsky.social and @superhayo.bsky.social . Some thoughts:

My good bud @wrathmania.bsky.social started a blog. The first piece is pretty great and if you have any interest in Deleuze/Jung/Freud/etc, this is a blog worth checking in on.

Hard truths and an introduction to a new blog about Jung and more. Read below:

If I have to read about the god damn Pizza Hut classic one last time

2026 in two tweets.

I am haunted by this passage pretty much every time I talk to customers at my day job

The seers do not believe in myth and tragedy. --Anti-Oedipus, p.298.

You know, sock puppet accounts used to just be someone like Skip Bayless posing as a fan saying "Wow Skip, you're the best!" It used to be a respectable form of depravity! Now the richest man in the world is cosplaying as his family on a website he owns, to the applause of bots and shit posters.

So many encounters for the formation of the thing, the unnamable! -AO, p. 226

The hardest reductive materialist that ever reductive materialized gleefully buying into some phantasm. "Enantiodromia," Jung chuckles smugly

I'd forgotten about this, just such a funny line - the writing on that show remains unmatched

Following my recent blog on Boards of Canada, hauntology, and the PBS unconscious, I was joined by Emma Stamm and @roberthlangan.bsky.social to delve deeper into the civic realism promulgated by national broadcasting in the US and the its extended cultural ramifications. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Nothing more reckless than speedrunning for meaning

I joined the folks at LEPHT HAND @acidhorizon.bsky.social to discuss the death of a shared American culture, a nostalgia for things that never were and the grief for a future that never came. Later we regressed into rants about diners, Wawa, and Buc-ee's. Check it out.

I got called a ‘big salad boy’ by a server. The fuck?

Aaron Rupar needs to start posting his public schedule from now on.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

I would like to note there were multiple mass shootings in the country this week alone and they barely made news

the long thought

folks,

I don’t mean to be probing but I think we should probably start asking why the present system of market capitalism has created an endless army of neurotic managers and executives who all talk like this as they engage in the greatest act of state looting seen since the Berlin Wall fell

Buy my buddy's book or I'll kill you

A friend sent this. From a bookstore in London. 1) It's nice to be a shelf above Jorps. 2) I guess they'll put any drivel for sale these days. 3) The only bookstore I can think of that had a Jungian section this big was in Boulder, which is hippie world.

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

Forget the AI slop of him healing Bill Simmons. This is the real depraved shit.

That is true, and Barron is a Trump-world starfucker, but this is still a larger step than I thought he'd take. For a lot of American conservatives that have Catholicism as their moral aesthetic, the influencer bishop giving them permission to criticize Trump is not nothing.

they like him and want to help him. They send out a push alert not for the actual story "the president is losing his fucking mind" but one repeating Trump's false criticism of the Pope as if they are reasonable.

In this Toledo diner, folks point that unlike Trump, Christ died on his cross.

really hard to explain to a certain kind of liberal that there are a lot of catholics out there who don't believe this is sacrilegious at all

It's absolutely wild that one of the wealthiest man in the world can just repost this kind of garbage and nobody bats an eye.

"too many people are voting"

This is the country--it's the congress and the trappings of the executive that are fake, and the sooner people realize that the better.

True, this is really just a difference in degree, not in kind

Besides being...horrifying?, this is the absolute bullseye of the AI grift. Take something that's free and has always been free -- faith -- and put a price tag on it. If you use any of these tools, you are a sucker, and are being suckered, and the people who make this slop are laughing at you.

one kinda of sanewashing thing the media did repeatedly for Trump over the years is describing him as an "isolationist" or "america first" while knowing trump's actual foreign policy is just a different alliance — not with other nations, but with a network of far-right parties around the world

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

Trumpist-Maoist.

Americans will be like "don't walk 5 miles it'll ruin your knees"

An interview @acidhorizon.bsky.social did with Charles Stivale, translator of Deleuze's 'Logic of Sense' and the Deleuze Seminars. I was kindly offered a chance to join the conversation. Much to my relief I did not butcher the pronunciation of Richard Pinhas.

The problem with 'depth' psychology, by @acidhorizon.bsky.social

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

if I ever write anything anywhere in support of tucker carlson, I would like to be trepanned. please direct the appropriate medical and legal authorities to this post as needed
