was at the whitney biennial yesterday. as with absolutely every art thing I've been to in the US in the last couple of years, race was at the forefront.
it's interesting to think of how the 2020 BLM protests will be memorialised, a process which i guess is already starting.

Yeah it seems BLM has been transmuted from a partially political partially cultural movement, to more of a purely cultural movement, now in the hands of liberal university art/theory culture.

Just earlier today I was thinking that you don't hear much about VICE these days.
And, me being the ultimate arbiter of cultural relevance that I am, this means they're more or less finished, I think.

i mean it's also the case here doing exhibitions for certain important figures who should've had this treatment long ago but only done now because of the british BLM response

i swung by but just as i arrived and was standing at the bar, the simmering tension between Lydia and Dasha boiled over into some sharp words and I could see how uncomfortable the situation was getting. I had a chat with Lee Ranaldo about it and he said that kind of thing happens all the time with you, that you can't help it, it's just the allure is so strong, and the Lynx that you wear doesn't help matters, so I thought all things considered, given that you were surrounded by @suspended's art toilet waifs anyway, I'd save our introduction for a happier time

i was with some bosnian friends at an absolutely terrible club on the upper east side, horrendous, a load of drunk people crammed into a room, it felt like the one club in a provincial english town, all the people with nothing in common except that they were in that part of town and didn't want to get home yet, waiting for ten minutes waving $20 bills to get a drink, security throwing out wasted girl-harassing young men, some guys who looked like they should be in the Sopranos standing behind a red rope, and two girls in glittery thongs walking along the bar and dancing, literally looking through her legs with a shaking arse in my face trying to finally get the attention of the barman, loud 80s cheese on a nasty soundsystem, making the peace after my bosnian friend told some girls to fuck off because they were annoyed he was dancing into them

Forget Joyce, Shaka has just elevated the run-on sentence to an art form.

Shame they weren't Croatian. You could have said "Sorry guys, I gotta Split."
