Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh.

These illustrations are from “Machinalia.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I think 2025 is the year to incorporate “blew chunks” back into my descriptive review vocab. Also, I didn’t think I could like @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social any more than I already did, but fyessss.
The Phoenician Scheme blew chunks. Really no other way to say it. You literally have to put Wes Anderson in a box--an island, a newspaper, a family home, a hotel--or his talents devolve into self-parody and shaggy-dog-itis. This is really terrible stuff.
