the meme is both more coherent and generous than the real thing
“The ayahuasca is a cruel mistress what I saw in that jungle changed me forever…” and then it’s just a bunch of techbro dipshit (I repeat myself) ideas like “venmo for ISIS/they’re an untapped market” and “soylent but vape juice” and “morality… on the blockchain”. then, in smaller, much lighter text, as if to imply that the thoughts are much quieter, are things like “wait… that’s just slavery” and “what if I’m actually harming the world”

anime Dune, you say?
Ryoichi Ikegami’s illustrated poster for a Japanese release of David Lynch’s Dune (1984). Kyle MacLachlan’s Paul Atreides is depicted as a bishōnen-esque anime prettyboy.

many things would change, but ringo would absolutely be making the exact same mspaint art in the universe where they were the penises
two badly drawn men face one another in a mspaint drawing by ringo starr. the man on the left has blue skin, stubble, and his hands in his coat pocket. the man on the right is wearing an amorphous mauve and pink suit jacket and extending a digit which appears to be in a brace or cast of some kind, though what digit it is is unclear. the background is a flat firetruck red with the words "BAD FINGER" written in the center above the men

Gardenas is too suggestive for Vice? Damn.
A screenshot from a 2D pixel art action game depicting a giant green plant woman wearing a skimpy vine-based bodysuit. She appears to be speaking or singing while energy radiates around her.

What's the Baudrillardian stage four here?
Baudrillard's stages of simulacra/simulation but with fish. stage one is a picture of a real fish, stage two is a baked fish fillet, stage three is breaded fish sticks in the simplified shape of a fish, and stage four, when the sign bears no relation to any reality, is oreos with swedish fish candy cream filling

it's so odd that people have identified this online but discount it in the real world where it's been true for longer than there have been words or blood or thought
the image is a tumblr screenshot, with a post from fairycosmos the internet is an inherently haunted place if you think about it like. it's so weird to see long abandoned discussion boards stuck in a snapshot of the past, old conversations between kids from over a decade ago who have now grown into their own lives, obituaries taking the form of half finished profiles. and the silence that fills the gaps between there's a constant ghostly record of each generation's thoughts, fads, their sense of humour. back when the future was at their fingertips. even strnager, people you used to know exist openly in that space, and they watch you watching them. if you want, deceased musicians can play through your headphones. there's always an underlying sense of reminiscing and time escaping our ever shortening attention spans. what a fuckin graveyard cartasdosul replies You are right but holy jesus mother of fuck

Waluigi is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Mario – the wholesome all Italian plumbing superman, you reflect him to create Luigi – the same thing but slightly less. You invert Mario to create Wario – Mario turned septic and libertarian – then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere man, without the other characters he reflects, inverts and parodies he has no reason to exist. Waluigi’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t – without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all Waluigi.

a getty images stock photo featuring a group of girls playing dodgeball. one girl is holding the ball over her shoulder ready to throw it at the other girls. while this image is usually seen with labels - "random internet users trying to be funny" over the other girls, "Apollo" over the girl with the ball, and "the gift of prophecy" over the ball itself - this is just the unedited stock photo, with no labels other than the getty images watermark
