Sadly, some of it looks ok in photos, aside from the wang ads. Of course it will be shit kids will sleep on sidewalks for. So, yeah, I guess it is. Throw in some uggs and Tory burch and you have a good Faustian nightmare.

I can see this type of aesthetic fitting into the colorless sz multiverse ... especially in Rick Owens' universe (or Iris Van Herpen's ... but she's not colorless). That said, it seems like it would be very difficult to translate this aesthetic to fashion (or any other medium without an aural component for that matter). This aesthetic might be specific to the interaction between sound and visuals.

Note for anyone confused: this fits sz b/c james hoff manages to find color in a characteristically colorless genre of music: noise. Also, choosing everything and choosing are two different ways of accessing the aesthetic All. (Sorry for the poor wording of that last sentence, what I mean is that SZ explores blandness in the sense of Francois Jullien http://www.zonebooks.org/titles/JULL_INP.html and noisy garish color is an inverse way of achieving roughly the same thing. Of course, SZ does not exclusively explore blandness, that is just one component of the aesthetic. So, the garishly colorful inverse of SZ would be something that deviates from a james hoff type aesthetic ... or maybe there is more inherent deviation in accessing the aesthetic All additively than subtractively (nothing is more accessible to thought than everything ... you can cognize the empty set, but you cannot cognize everything at once), so you wouldn't need to incorporate any additional deviation.)

A raccoon peed on my neighbor's head tonight.
I had a feeling it would be a good party, but this exceeded even my expectations.

And here I thought my close encounter with a Polish pigeon yesterday was special: It didn't navigate properly, steered right for my head and gave me a good whoppin' with its wing.

"The (New York) citywide poverty rate remained stalled at about 21 percent (in 2013). About 1.7 million New Yorkers were living below the official federal threshold for poverty, with the biggest numerical increase among New Yorkers who are 18 to 64 years old.
In the metropolitan area, more people were living below the poverty threshold in 2013 than the year before. In 2012, the federal poverty threshold was $11,170 for an individual and $23,050 for a family of four."

A really fucked up follow up stat, that is quite the contrary is that I believe 1 in 15 people in Manhattan are millionaires.

So ~7% of people are millionaires and 20% are below the poverty line. That's insane to me....

Happy with the result of the Scottish Referendum.

I never checked the times tamps on the dbdbdb666 character's posts. If that was some sort of half-elaborate bot in play or a person I'm not sure; one line replies, but with some sort of content related to the thread. I'm curious.
