take yr lumps, its a link dump

sort of a panter lite, i think i like this, but i havent decided if i like it yet, i suspect that it if i saw it as a mini i would like it much more

a fairly well written story about challenges to comci books from conseratiev libraries

dozens of videos of pentecostal holy laughing, and other such strangeness.

6 pages of classic porn posters. i am in the middle of reading leggs mcneils the other hollywood, about porn, in the last half of the 20th century, mostly american, and its really problematic, it dismisses lovelaces claims of abuse (i havent ever seen a proporn femminist really tackle what lovelace means to their cause), it doesnt mention any gay folks, in the two pages on aids its kidn of talked about in code, in fact it has more pages on how good of a lay traci lords was then what AIDS meant for the death of pro-porn culture, etc...sites like this, which make porn beautiful are impt, b/c porn is lovely, a treat, and its useful, but that said, how we look at porn, and how porn is made needs to be analysed much more than it is.

smart, brave kid defeats theocratic teacher

instead of a through interviews on the matrcies of ethnicity, religion, and politics, that one can get from a former black, now orthodox muslim, who was just elected to the senate from minnepolis, one can go to cheap racism, as glen beck decided.

ann burrows makes animal robots from the usual domestic subjects

I have no idea whats happening in this manga, but its odd.


Proof that
a) the market is insane
b) i have no contect any more
this late dekooning (77), in the middle of a long peroid of bad painting and worse drinking, was sold at auction for 27m (de koonings work from the 50s, and his comeback in the 80s, showed that he could paint in two seperate ways, adn he has a masterful ability with line, he wasnt a great colourist)

more random police brutality

the new yorker reprinted a june accocella review of that playboy collection, the illustration was quite good as well

poetry podcasts from PS1, listen esp. to the engaging, campy, gossippy, funny, inside baseball of wayne kaustenbaum talking about prada, ontology, and pretty girls in lemon chiffon

i told you a year ago morris louis was in the middle of a major comeback, now with major work at auction, new record prices, and gopniks new essay here in the washinton post, i am proven correct---now give us comebacks of McCRacken, Truitt, and esp. Noland. Please. (i keep seeing morrises in repro adn live, and i like the fusnig and splitting apart, the rigourous deconsruction of noland, or the ehteral, alive, frankenthaler--i think that he fuses the practices of those two artists, and does it to a lesser extent--i also think that both frankenthaler and noland have an extensive, anayltical, career of print making--now louis hasnt had the same decades of art making that other artists on that list have, basiaclly less than a decade, but romantic potential cant be judged as well as work can.)

Rowan Willams and Benny are talking right now
