Oh, eso es un simple problema técnico: está poseído por un demonio.

a ludicrous old-timey car designed to look like a house that i find funny.
Maybe not?

No filme mais experimental e pessoal de Andrei Tarkovsky, Mirror, o protagonista sonha com as paredes da sua casa de infância inundadas de água - o que supostamente transmite ansiedade/tristeza pela morte da sua mãe: a casa representa o seu sentimento de segurança, agora ameaçado pela instabilidade

Heute erscheint bei @suhrkamp.de das neue Buch von #PeterSloterdijk – »Der Fürst und seine Erben. Über große Männer im Zeitalter der gewöhnlichen Leute.«
Deer Buchrücken rückt den »mad man« Trump und den apokalyptisch-nihilistischen Pokerspieler Putin in den Mittelpunkt. 1/5
Finished this book recently. One of the most powerful sections comes at the end: Sloterdijk talks about how praxis has become the myth of modernity - and how, rather than practical philosophy or ethical frameworks focusing on how to act, we need a philosophy of restraint, of letting things be.

It is made from marble and measures 22cm in length. Holes at the neck and tail suggest that it was meant to be suspended, and the two hollowed out cups on its back were probably used as containers of some kind
Concordo plenamente! 💚
Cresci na zona rural da Irlanda e minha casa tinha vista para um vale. Na lua cheia, todo o vale ficava imerso em uma luz azul etérea. Parecia uma substância – como se você pudesse nadar nela.
Thank you, I absolutely will! And no I've never heard of that, I'll add it to the list! 👌
There's a few great comic book shops near where I work in Dublin, so I'm planning on going in this Thursday - hope to pick up something then!
Really interesting, thanks for the guidance! I ask because it's not a genre I know much about tbh but I'd love to find out more.
The only graphic novels I've read are in the superhero genre (the best being, rather predictably, Watchmen) so I'm keen to explore outside of that field!
Favourite graphic novel? 🌝

Frederic Gros:
"When we are walking it isn't so much that we are drawing nearer, more that the things out there become more and more insistent in our body. The landscape is a set of tastes, colours, scents which the body absorbs."
Great name!
Hey Ingrid!! 😁 Estou bem, obrigada! Está chovendo sem parar na Irlanda há quase 40 dias 😅. Então, estou me sentindo — como todo mundo na ilha — um pouco maluca!!! Kkkk. Como vai você?
