Je viens de tomber sur un truc fascinant. En 1970, la FNAC et Paris ont organisé un concours photo basé sur un découpage géométrique de Paris. Ce site permet de visionner 30 000 des photos produites à cette occasion

Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves.

Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.
An Art Nouveau staircase decorated with curved patterns and soft colors, with a nature-themed background and rounded windows on the walls. Art Deco staircase. An angular, grand design in dark colors.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo
Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

Night. The Department of Astrobiology building. One upper floor window is lit and a figure in it looks out and says "Dammit! Professor Monroe has all the luck!". In the car park outside, a second figure rises within a beam of light towards a flying saucer.

Funny 4 panel comic by War and Peas about Ivan Pavlov. 1. Panel: A housekeeper rings a bell and calls out: "Mr. Pavlov, dinner is ready!" 2. Ivan Pavlov jumps out of a door and shouts: "That's great, Irma!" 3. He is sitting at a bare table and realizes: "Wait, Irma, there's no food." 4. Panel: Irma pulls her own head off her shoulders and you can see that it was just a mask. Underneath is a dog that screams angrily: "How the tables have turned, Mr. Pavlov!" Other aggressive dogs surround him. It's their revenge at last.

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books.
The 27th of December... “I think Dad got too many books for christmas this year.” Says a daughter. “Don't worry, he'll get through them.” Says the mother, looking up from her book. “But until then..?” Asks the daughter. “He'll be fine on turkey sandwiches until he's reduced the front piles” The father is completely surrounded by high teetering walls of stacked books. He is reading within and the daughter has thrown a sandwich in to him.

Panel 1: A witch, dressed in black with a pointed hat, opens the door to a delivery person holding several boxes. Panel 2: The witch presents a mouse doll to her black cat, Lord Nibbles, who looks at it with curiosity. The doll is small and plush, resembling a mouse. Panel 3: The mouse doll lies on the floor, and Lord Nibbles looks at it not knowing what to do with it. Panel 4: Lord Nibbles ignores the mouse doll and is instead sitting inside one of the delivery boxes.

true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

Vous pouvez dire "gnagnagna mais quand même certains IA pourraient être utile", mais pour ma part, si Bong Joon Ho me demande de prendre les armes pour aller péter la gueule aux machines, je suis prêt à le suivre jusqu'aux portes des Enfers

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books pages.
Two pigeons on a London street, pecking at crumbs. Pigeon 1: "I'm sorry you missed out on the Booker prize. I thought your novel was wonderful." Pigeon 2: "It’s a stitch up! They always give it to a human!" Pigeon 1: "It’s nice they considered it." Pigeon 2: "Nobody cares about the longlist, Janet!" Pigeon 2 again: "Zadie Smith had a bestselling novel and an armload of literary prizes before she was 25*." Pigeon 1: "You’ve got to stop comparing yourself to Zadie Smith" Pigeon 2: "Why?" Pigeon 1: "We’ve all got to find our own path through the world. Plus, it’s much harder to type with claws." pigeon 2: "That’s true." They both go back to pecking. Pigeon 2: "I’m glad you liked my book." *Pigeon 2 is 3 years, 11 months and 22 days old, the equivalent of 42 in human years. https://pigeonpedia.com/pigeon-years-to-human-years-calculator/

Je déclare ouverte ma liste personnelle de one-panel-comics préférés.
Pour marquer sa subjectivité elle commencera par la Joconde des one-panel, à savoir "Cow Tools", par Gary Larson.
Une vache à l'air sérieux se tient debout devant une table sur laquelle sont posés des outils grossiers. Il y a une ferme en arrière-plan. La légende dit juste: "Cow tools".

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx
guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

A halloween cartoon for @newscientist.com
Image: three figures in protective suits watch from behind a screen as a child approaches a door-like mechanical structure in which stands a man. Between them is an amorphous glowing shape. Caption: Scientists at the institute of halloween studies have succeeded in creating "The treak": a quantum state that is simultaneously trick and treat. It is stable for a millionth of a second before decaying into a half-hearted prank and a mediocre candy bar.

Panels 1 and 2 Interior. "I love autumn!" Says a book to its owner. "It's so romantic! Let's put on a big scarf, go to the park, and read on a bench as the orange leaves fall around us in the low sun." Panel 3 Caption: Soon. Image: they are now outside sheltering under an unbrella in torrential rain. "Shall we go home?" says the reader. "Yes please. I'm getting soggy." says the book.

A cartoon about autumn....
Title: The leaves Image 1: Two leaves hang from branches. "Would you like to hear my new poem?" Says one "Is it another one about the inevitability of death?" replies a smaller leaf. Image 2: "It's autumn! What else am i going to write about?" says the poet leaf. "Well, we've all turned this lovely reddish colour." says the small leaf. Image 3: "Actually, that could make a very nice poem. Thanks!" says the poet. Image 4. The small leaf begins to reply but is blown away by a gust of wind. Image 5: Later. The solitary poet leaf recites a poem: "The year dies. I cling hopelessly. In the end all things fall."
