#absurd
“Everything is possible, and yet nothing is. All is permitted, and yet again, nothing. No matter which way we go, it is no better than any other. It is all the same whether you achieve something or not, have faith or not, just as it’s all the same whether you cry or remain silent. There is an explanation for everything, and yet there is none. Everything is both real and unreal, normal and absurd, splendid and insipid. There is nothing worth more than anything else, nor any idea better than any other. Why grow sad from one’s sadness and delight in one’s joy? What does it matter whether our tears come from pleasure or pain? Love your unhappiness and hate your happiness, mix everything up, scramble it all! Be a snowflake dancing in the air, a flower floating downstream! Have courage when you don’t need to, and be a coward when you must be brave! Who knows? You may still be a winner! And if you lose, does it really matter? Is there anything to win in this world? All gain is loss, all loss is gain. Why always expect a definite stance, clear ideas, meaningful words? I feel as if I should spout fire in response to all the questions which were ever put, or not put, to me.”
- Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair(1934).
Art: Léon Spilliaert, Dike and Beach (1907).

worst/best AU thought: had Touya revealed himself that day he went home, he would’ve been able to stay and reunite with his family… except Enji would’ve had to eventually take Touya to the doctors because his body starts failing. And Enji can afford the best doctors.
leading Touya back to Ujiko— and AFO.

My live action short is out with English subtitles!
‘Les Éveillé’ is a 2 minutes short film I co-directed with my brother Simon Leclercq.
It’s an absurd and completely french movie. Hope you’ll like it!
being moderately proficient with computers in the early 2010s was casting a hex on your family to call you sheldon
i got a big bang theory box set and a bazinga t shirt for christmas when i was 16
my dad wanted to get me a psych eval so i could say “im not crazy. my father had me tested.” like sheldon did and after the psych eval they diagnosed me with paranoid schizophrenia
this could be the funniest thing that has happened to anyone ever. my condolences king
Yeah I don’t really know either.

Albert Camus. Shouting is not an argument, denunciation and diffamation an act of treachery to the truth.
James Patterson books are an invasive species humans brought into library shelf environments because we wanted fast-reproducing, easily-digestible food. But at the time, we didn’t know as much about their natural airport environment, which has very few available nutrients. This environment greatly favours the genericalist species like Patterson, so there’s very little bibliodiversity compared to the more specialized library or bookstore environment. This means that each species in an airport has an enormously expanded niche compared to just about anywhere else books can thrive - in their natural habitat, Patterson books may be one of only 3 or 4 species competing for available nutrients. In these low-density, low-nutrient environments, Patterson books occupy vast swathes of territory without bothering other species. This history makes it extremely easy for them to outcompete the more specialized inhabitants of the library shelf, who have often been carefully selected to fill ultraspecific subgenre niches.
Left unweeded, Patterson books will expand their territory over multiple book bays, crowding out or even straight-up eliminating space for competitors and sending contributor-author runners out to other shelves. Contained to a single, planned set of shelves and kept strictly pruned, Patterson books can contribute to a healthy ecosystem. But many curators don’t know or don’t care to do the planning and maintenance, leading to the nightmare of overcrowding and loss of circulation.
So I’m watching one of the famous Q episodes in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and I just came up with my own conspiracy theory. What if QAnon is a Trekkie that decided to troll the nation for laughs, and it just got out of hand and took on a life of its own?
This restores the conspiracy to its proper place of absurdity. Tbh this would also be very much on brand for a Q fan.
Now that’s just silly. Here are some mosaics of boys racing in bigaeor two-horse chariots with large birds in place of horses. The winner receives a palm frond as a symbol of victory.
From the Villa Romana del Casale, 4th century CE.
