i've had other programmers tell /me/ "yeah i trust you so i won't bother trying to understand this, ship it" so i am, shall we say, pretty skeptical that turning the entire profession into oops all code review is going to lead to quality outcomes

You want queer communist BIPOC trans art but you also want it from people spending millions on propping up fascist regimes. You are a fucking child. Turn off the cartoons and engage with material reality for two seconds. These people are your enemy.

BUFFO (1982)
 Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 32" X 22" 

Reading a novel by M. John Harrison always leaves me with the feeling that I've experienced some vivid, chaotic dream full of important but indecipherable symbols and images. 1/3

A man wearing the skull of a horse with antlers clasps the long tube of a telescope tightly to him. One sleeve of his tattered white garments is rolled up past the elbow. Ridges of veins are raised in the tense grips of his hands. Red orbs fill the sockets of the skull while green ribbon twists around the bone until loosely draping over antlers. Filaments sprout, oddly feathery, from the curling rack. On the dingy shelves behind, a small assortment of hardbound books lean with more stacked haphazardly on the long shelf below. Charts tacked to the wall curl with age. Points of light, more like street lamps than stars, gleam in the cracked glass of a many-paned window.
