slow loris being tickled.

my grandfather was a stoic man who did not get angry or say much, but he hated magpies, profoundly, they ate his grain, and got caught were they shouldnt, and so i sort of have this love/hate thing going on with them, not pure unadualrated love like crovids. the guardian publishes a really elegant essay about perserving them

The trust's reasoning comes down to the same old misinformed chestnut - that evil magpies are causing the decline in smaller songbirds. It's kneejerk ornithological racism, ignorant and counterproductive. It's true that some magpies prey on the nests of smaller birds during the breeding season, but this is for perhaps three or four months of the year and only affects young birds that are easily replaced. The magpies never kill the more valuable breeding adults (unlike cats, which do so 365 days a year). No predator would thrive by dramatically reducing its own food supply; indeed, in areas where there are more magpies, there are typically more smaller species too. So how could the trust get it so wrong? I can only assume that this fringe group is still clinging to outdated views built on a foundation of medieval superstition.

moon sort of looks like a 2001 rip off, but with digital cameras, and a more interior, domestic setting, it might be an interesting revision. (less of the epic creaiton myth)

The novelty of the coming politics is that it will no longer be a struggle for the seizure and control of the state, but the fight between state and non-state (humanity): an unbridgeable disjunction of the singularity qualunque from state organisation. (The coming community) Gerogi Agamben

ballard interview in frieze, from 1997:

RR: But if their behaviour constitutes a ‘profane mass’, it’s an extremely alienated one.

JGB: The characters in Crash are trying to find the basis for human contact, which at some future date will carry a freight of emotion. At the beginning of both the film and the book, we see the husband and wife describing their separate infidelities, and in a sort of loving, affectionate way they’re trying to rekindle their affection for each other. But they’ve exhausted the existing forms of social interaction. This is what it’s all about, in a sense. They’re trying to explore new points of emotional connection, and the car crash represents the extreme ‘n’th position of a whole set of new possibilities which aren’t necessarily violent.

RR: One of your interests, then, is the way that our libidinal drives are sublimated into relationships with mass-manufactured commodities?

JGB: Well, I think the unconscious collisions between the primary psychic drives are now transferred into the world of consumer design. The car, of course, has to embody contradictions between safety and fashion. Its interior has to be a cosy extension of the home, whereas all those blinking red lights and gauges signal danger. You don’t have to look very far to understand its appeal. As we drive a motor car, we literally have our own deaths at our fingertips, and all sorts of connections between cars and sexuality have been evident for years.
