You have three posts and all of them are complaining about shit you have no stake in. This is a game for you and I recommend nobody else play it.

Fountain remains misunderstood by reactionaries over a century after its creation. Not only could you have avoided this pitfall, you could have avoided it by looking at *so many others* who have made the same mistake. It's one of the most easily avoided blunders in all of art.

You know that thing where someone trying to promote bullshit just throws out a study that they claim proves their point, and you read it, and it says the opposite?
Using a readymade, the *whole point* of which is that it starts with a non-art object, as your example is the equivalent of that here.

Why is the cat wearing a santa hat? What kind of hat is it, and what context is the cat in? How is the cat posed? How is it interacting with its environment? What *meaning* do these decisions express, in relation with one another?
See what I mean? You're not interested in the art part of art.

it is not even in the same galaxy as that. Oh, buddy. You have an incredibly impovrished understanding of what art even is and I hope something breaks through the wall you've built around your heart. Art is in the details; models not only generate those details, they're incoherent with one another.

...Ohh, I see, you think art is mere representation. That explains a *lot*.

1. Forever. I was following Girly Juice before the Dildorks launched and I think I was on the ground floor.
2. That no cultural trope is obligatory, even ones that seem inevitable.
3. I think you and Billy cover the intersection between art and dating/sex (roleplay, improv, fantasy) beautifully.

Why is your first impulse to escalate into dehumanizing those you're arguing with? Why are you so comfortable with making that move?

Not in a way that I'd consider useful. In fact this structure follows best practices for debunking: Lead with the desired interpretation, mention the undesired one briefly, then explain why the undesired interpretation is wrong. (I would normally say "accurate" and "inaccurate", but...)

That's not enough for you? Like were you somehow on the fence but this output was your final straw? If so that's a point in my book against trusting your arguments defending a different kind of bullshit engine.
(Also: "try this one, it's less bullshit" is not a tempting offer.)

Listen, this argument has been thoroughly debunked since at least when you were 12, when I saw it on Tumblr in 2014. Stick around a while, learn something.

Between this and some recent photos of various things taken by friends, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that having a good photographer in one's life is worth its weight in gold.

Have you seen, a recent paper has described true multitasking in human brains, a thing that was not thought to be possible. I feel like that also gives some credence to the mosaic model because, well, we can run different parts of our brains in parallel, so why wouldn't they develop differently?

Apparently this is the term for things like freezing someone's assets, denying visas, even preventing companies from engaging in trade with that person. These kinds of things were levied against a bunch of Russian oligarchs in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, for example.

I think a lot about Moxon's Shaving Cream. It's been useful as hell in a couple of cases.
