Good for you Jonah. Moved a few times with three, and then four. They were rubbish at carrying stuff. Still are.

My minor complaint: people talking about "the space in between" in the arts.

"This sculpture/play/poem represents/tackles/addresses/is about the space in between." Why is so much art about the goddam space in between? And I know I'm being obtuse so someone please set me straight -- between what?

teh space in between plebs and people who get grants

Slurry is now part of your life. Close the windows and take in the washing on slurry days.

Between shit and shite aka interstitial pursuits

Whereabouts? 17 years after moving I still kinda miss the city :/

Not too far from Dunlavin. We're in that nice spot of feeling remote without actually being at all remote. And driving distance to town for my two days a month in the office.

Whenever I get to curate an art exhibition, the little square by the artwork will say "meh". Or "It's the square root of fuck all really".

based on what people on the thread on boards are saying, peterson was really poor on it. rambling and unfocused.

It almost sounds like he has some kind of completely mental diet that leaves him bolloxed and out of it all the time or something

The kids have discovered a show on Netflix called Blippi.

 

[flashback]

Got in the car to do something today, and there was an advert for a Jordan Peterson tour in Ireland?

Fucking hell. I can imagine him getting an entourage going here too.

 

[Cormcolash]

He's 'playing' the point

 

[flashback]

He's 'playing' the point

Horrible cult-y feeling off the prick.
He's relentlessly recommended to me on youtube and shit.

I feel dirty for even liking stuff that aligns me into the youtube demographic of a prick who'd like him.

 

[flashback]

Even the advert has some dickhead with a horrible American-ish accent. I was sitting at a T junction when it came on, and I did a full "Fuck you" filthy look at the radio when when a woman had stopped in the middle of the road to let me in.

I tried to act natural and I hope she didn't notice, and I did a thank you wave. Although, having said all that, officially I can't condone the whole stopping on the road when you have right of way, to be polite.

He's a proper mentaller hahaha

Yeah but what about Peterson?

Oh, cult-y! I misheard you. I thought you said… culchie.

Oi! yew caaaahnt.

I was going to take that joke myself. It was a sitter.

But, like, I commend you in your initiative, and wish you well with your future joke endeavors.

 

[flashback]

Heh.

He's so cynical. I just get this vibe where he's preying on these angsty misanthrope tweeny boys, with anger issues and feel the world's passed them by a little bit.

He has one precise demographic, and he sticks his little tick mouthparts into that demographic, and laps away, stoking outrage and vengeance. Like some kind of a right-on, younger woke Daily Mail reader.

I'm not going to do a Frank Zappa and go from insuferable prick to probably grand just not my cup of tea on him either. Jordan is a Prick for life. Once you have tick mouthparts, you always have tick mouthparts.

Every time I listen to the radio it ends with me shouting Fuck Off as I hit the off button.

does anyone know what's going on when you take a tablet, but don't swallow it exactly right, and it gets stuck in a way that seems to resist liters of water getting hockeyed into the same pipe?

Like, the pipe water goes down is the same pipe tablets go down. I get the idea of a tablet getting a bit stuck, but surely it can't still be stuck when I'm drinking stuff afterwards? Is the drink going around the tablet? It feels like nothing you can do can dislodge it, almost to the point that I'm wondering if it's not really there and I'm feeling some phantom yoke stuck in throat feeling.

@Lili Marlene wants us to go, for the experience or something
