i'm a critic of harman because once on his blog he posted a picture of a dinosaur with a lazer gun with the text "this is pretty funny". no it isn't graham harman.

did you guys know that tom is in a ska bathroom humor parody band (he calls the genre "skatological") called Soil-it Green, which covers well-known songs in which one or more words in the title rhyme with something involving the process of digestion and defecation? but what may seem derivative of weird al yankovic and other humorous cover bands is actually surprisingly personal in many ways for tom. take their 2008 single, "Quit Playing Games with My Fart", which could have been a cheap retelling of the Backstreet Boys lyrics, only about a lover's flatus. Instead, it's a heartfelt person missive to Tom's doctor, whom he felt wasn't giving his myriad problems enough attention. Jesus Christ
we made a thread in PHIZ some time ago called "Quit Playing Games With my Fart." Also "Don't you tell my Fart, my Achy-Breaky Fart," "My Fart Will Go On," and "Every Fart you Take." all the threads were gassed and we were all either probated or banned for the offense...

francis wheen has this book How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered The World in which as well as discussing various new age nonsense he also singles out deleuze as an exemplar of pomo nonsense, a point he supports with extracts from a thousand plateaus that he claims dont make any sense, and im just like 'if you just quoted bits from the middle of a scientific paper with no contextual information to a lay audience it wouldnt make any sense either, damn.' the myth of theoretical inscrutability is really weird, everyone expects advanced mathematics to not be instantly comprehensible but for some reason philosophy has to be written at a primary school level otherwise its worthless

i dunno d&g talk extensively about the problems royal science has with flows and turbulence so its not like hers is a concept without some philosophical pedigree. and even if some of her assertions about science arent necessarily correct its an important reconsideration of the supposed objectivity of certain structures

Professor Neville Nicholls, cliamte researcher at Monash, 2008
http://www.climatechange.gov.au/~/media/publications/science/weather-extremes.pdf
General increases in rainfall intensity (McInnes et al., 2002; Whetton et al., 2002; Walsh et al., 2001; Abbs, 2004; Abbs et al., 2006) but with considerable spatial variation…
Up to 20% more droughts over most of Australia by 2030 (Mpelesoka et al., submitted). Projected changes in the Palmer Drought Severity Index for the SRES A2 scenario indicate an increase over much of eastern Australia between 2000 and 2046.
THE past two years have been Australia’s wettest two-year period since at least 1900…
Climate scientists have reasons to suspect that warmer ocean temperatures can lead to increased rainfall, and the strong ocean warming we have seen around Australia has indeed been matched by a trend to more rainfall across the country. Annual rainfall, averaged across Australia, has gradually increased by about 25 per cent since the start of the 20th century ... So it looks like global warming may be leading to a wetting trend across Australia, perhaps enhancing the heavy rains typically associated with La Nina events.
I can't bring this up with people without them saying that i'm trolling them for climate change denialism.....but the scientists keep getting it wrong!

This movie is one of most terrible movies I've ever seen. By fragmentary story line, distorted historical facts, you can not learn what happened in China in early 1900s, and also can not know why the Communist Party was founded in China at that time. But this is not the point. The point is faking how great the Communist Party is. And it's regarded as a gift to celebrate the 90 anniversary of CCP.
So it's not a drama, not a comedy, and of course not a documentary. Maybe you can see it as a show, full of Chinese stars. But it's not worth 2 hours time
The Communist Party of China has existed for over 90 years, and has dominated China more than 60 years which is a great tragedy for our Chinese people. We loathe it very much, and we will eventually destroy it!!!
