“In the afterlives of the CCRU, Nick Land has had a strong cult following on the “intellectual dark web,” expounding his Dark Enlightenment philosophy to a cohort of nerds that turned out to include US Vice President @JDVance.” – Adina Glickstein https://t.co/PYjNAvzFEC

I remember a Russian friend who had recently relocated to San Francisco from Moscow. His reaction to the city can be summed up as: “This is it? This is the capital of the global tech industry, the capital of the future?” – @8ghtb4ll in https://t.co/lCWiUIkztm

“If the week of Art Basel Paris taught me anything, it is time for everyone to liquidate their masculinity. Cash out of the New Man. There are problems. Sell off before they become bigger.” – Aodhan Madden https://t.co/oSFKPo233p

“After 9/11, anyone wishing to rehab sincerity was pushing at an open door: lackadaisical ironizing of reality was toast, along with the end of history.” – @MartinLHerbert on the art of @FriedrichKunat https://t.co/lCWiUIkztm

“Once formed in tortured meditation, or heroic acts of creation, or the heat of battle, etc., today’s most harrowing engine of selfhood is probably that teledildonic in our pockets, mirror and window and vibrator of the human ego.” – @travisdream https://t.co/vbMon3Y8sv

“All nostalgia is based on the novelty of misremembering. Blurry fictions of the nation, the culture, or the heart. These novelties may seem profound simply because they’re on repeat.” – Alex Quicho @amfq Photo: Hidhir Badaruddin @thehidhir https://t.co/lCWiUIl7iU

“These awful tech people have the kitschiest, clunkiest, most adolescent ideas of the future. People like @peterthiel & @elonmusk who grew up reading the most boring hard sci-fi, they now think they’re actually going to get us to Mars.” – @SimonReynolds01 https://t.co/lCWiUIl7iU

“Any aging Art Person will eventually experience the traumatic loopiness of the present, which is just another name for the theory of the modern, or to be more specific, fashion – whose two faces are exactly novelty and nostalgia.” – Jeppe Ugelvig https://t.co/lCWiUIl7iU

“People fear death and want to leave traces of their existence. But whatever they try is different from what they are, so their ends might be better served trying to be artists.” – Lynn Hershman Leeson to fellow artist Andy DiLallo https://t.co/fD471yu5mp

“The hope is that the ongoing demolition of taste and further emptying of images of meaning might clear a path for new kinds of strangeness or beauty, that it will return to images some of the mystery that has been lost and give them some new, or a very old power.” – @deankissick

I feel like if you care about cinema – and Cannes clearly does – and you don’t want the internet to exist in cinema, then you’re cutting off the medium’s potential to evolve. – Peter Vack to @eugeugeug and @therealsjloren https://t.co/uTMHEyrN9M

“Appreciating the intractability of the struggle between fascism and freedom, without losing hope of someday settling the matter for good, is the zen koan that animates Anderson’s film.” – Nolan Kelly on #OneBattleAfterAnother https://t.co/waqkoPJ53A

Increasingly, “the algorithm” doesn’t give you what you ask for. Instead, you’re presented with cheaply produced extremism. It’s like the whole world is a strip club with the lights on, but also an escape room, and the only door is fake. – @travisdream https://t.co/XjDFaRtbxe
