Cette année, trois séminaires à l’EHESS pour nourrir mon travail sur « Murakami : Mémoire d’une masculinité à ressort » :
– Approches postcoloniales et décoloniales du genre et de la sexualité
– Masculinités, féminités : approches sociologiques
– Le logos du logo (sémiotique graphique).

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

🇩🇰 Venue du Sri Lanka, la cannelle s’est imposée au Danemark comme le parfum même de Noël. Entre luxe historique, mémoire olfactive et nostalgie familiale, le quotidien Politiken explique comment cette épice suffit ici à faire basculer un plat dans le registre des fêtes.

I love this portrait of Swami Vivekananda.
Its queerness, for me, lies in a kind of spiritual androgyny — a presence that moves beyond fixed categories.
Said with respect, admiration, and care for the master.

My name, Swann, isn’t a reference to Proust, but to Saraswati—goddess of knowledge, speech, and the arts.
She is pictured with a swan: not ornament, but viveka—discernment, the power to separate signal from noise, truth from illusion.

An interface is not a window onto the world. It’s a set of constraints on what you’re allowed to notice. What gets called “simple” is usually just a well-hidden decision.

Tokyo Godfathers is one of the best films of this century. A key reason is that it portrays Tokyo with an almost overwhelming level of care and detail.
Satoshi Kon and his team moved mountains to make this film's world feel real — as we explore today: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/satoshi-ko...

9-year anniversary of reanalysis paper on recovery in £5m #PACEtrial, with data the PACE team fought so hard to keep to themselves.
