Body Saint
The following image is in memory of a woman who reportedly
died at 70 on Friday, Sept. 8, 2023 —
Bruce Chatwin on Lisa Lyon, the woman who died —
“The photographer and his model have conspired
to tell a story of their overlapping obsessions.
Their glorification of the body is an act of will,
a defiance of nihilism and abstraction, a story of
the Modern Movement in reverse.”

Cool Kids’ Vocabulary… Edgelord!
Jill Lepore of Harvard in The New Yorker today —
|
"In 2021, Elon Musk became the world’s richest man (no woman came close), and Time named him Person of the Year: 'This is the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit: clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman, cad; a madcap hybrid of Thomas Edison, P. T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie and Watchmen’s Doctor Manhattan, the brooding, blue-skinned man-god who invents electric cars and moves to Mars.' Right about when Time was preparing that giddy announcement, three women whose ovaries and uteruses were involved in passing down the madcap man-god’s genes were in the maternity ward of a hospital in Austin. Musk believes a declining birth rate is a threat to civilization and, with his trademark tirelessness, is doing his visionary edgelord best to ward off that threat." |
