book from the sky (tianshu) xu bing, 1989-91

I was so excited to see a copy of this in real life bc it's something I studied in art history. this is a book that was typeset and printed by hand using wooden blocks but every one of the characters was invented for the sake of the piece and does not correspond to any word in the Chinese language

yes. he invented and hand carved 4000 characters. it is a CRAZY project that resulted in an intentionally unreadable book. I love it

Xu Bing you're legendary to me !!!!

Have you ever absolutely loathed a protagonist, either because they are an annoying hypocrite, a terrible person portrayed as a good one or a Mary Sue/Gary Stue?

Then this is the poll for you, where we determine who the most insufferable protagonist is.

The protagonist may be from a book, show, film, game etc.

Disclaimer: You may submit anti propaganda as a rebuttal at any point if you disagree with a MC being insufferable

Actually. Who's up for a wee bit of powerscaling

shout out to Caroline for giving me the guts to post this

damn straight that’s because it’s fucking gnarly and perfect

so, you're an interesting fellow after all

just overheard my wife spelling something on the phone and i shit you not saying the words “E as in Eeyore” i am on my hands and knees wailing screaming crying pleading and begging people to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet

like the reason this exists is because none of the words sound like each other, which means that even with a terrible signal both parties should be able to clearly understand the words being spelled

i am dead serious that i believe this should be taught in school

[CUSTOMER enters a corner bakery. He is a young white man in a coat and beanie. BAKER stands behind the counter. She is an older white woman wearing a white patterned fleece pullover and glasses.]

CUSTOMER: Hello!

BAKER: Mornin'!

CUSTOMER: I'd like two normal rolls.

BAKER: Of course!

C: And one of those with the...

[Cut to sunflower-seed-covered muffins labeled Kürbis-Knacki, which is like... Squashy-Cwuncher, roughly. In the sense of a gourd or pumpkin. Very cutesy and cringey.]

C: ...with the pumpkin seeds.

B: Which do you mean?

C: Uhh one of those with the... with the seeds.

B: What are they called? :)

C: ............uhm... well uh a Squashy-Cwuncher.

B: Yes of course! Anything else?

[Cut to a pastry labeled "I'm a stupid piece of trash." Ominous musical sting. Cut to a close-up of CUSTOMER, now deeply underlit, with a haunted look on his face]

C:

B: :)

C: Uh. A Nutella doughnut?

B: I'm so sorry, I don't know what you mean!

C: One - one of those right there!

B: You have to say it :) What is it called? :))

C: I... I'm a... a stupid piece of trash?

B: Of course! Anything more?

[shot of a pastry labeled "I'm a little, greedy piggy *grunt grunt*"]

C: That one?

B: You know what you need to do :))

C: [hurriedly] I'm a little greedy piggy, grunt grunt?

B: Do it.

C:

B:

C: .............. *snort*

[The lighting returns to normal and we return to a mid shot.]

B: That comes to €13.50, please! Have a great day!

[CUSTOMER exits hurriedly. CUSTOMER 2 enters, smiling. He is a young white man with glasses and an open coat.]

C2: Hello! I'd like an "I hate my father," and two "I have a tiny di-"

good morning

Thr man is caked up and he knows it

While the Onion buying InfoWars is indeed extremely funny, very few of the posts I've seen commenting on the sale have mentioned that the families of the Sandy Hook victims apparently agreed to voluntarily reduce their lawsuit payout as part of a deal to ensure that the Onion would acquire InfoWars wholesale, rather than having the company broken up and auctioned off piecemeal, as the latter course could potentially have allowed some of those pieces to end up back in the hands of Alex Jones' cronies.

Like, yes, it is in fact very funny that InfoWars is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Clickhole, but the real props go out to the Sandy Hook families who saw the opportunity and willingly gave up the additional millions of dollars that could have been realised by stripping InfoWars for parts in order to make that happen.
