now, i might get in trouble for saying this, but if you ask me eric and dylan were true visionaries. i might not agree with what they did but one cant help but admire the inventiveness of these two auteurs. you can say they took ideas from the DOOM video game but every artist is influenced by something. meanwhile, look at what they accomplished: these are the guys that took school shootings into the mainstream!! so, how did they accomplish this? well, they wore backwards caps and cool trenchcoats when they did the murders, they asked students badass questions like "do you believe in god" before shootibng them, and they snuffed out a bunch of the jocks we all hate. these guys literally invented the now-famous "dont come to school today" move when they encountered brooks brown in the parking lot on their way into the school. and the scale of their plan, well, there's only one word: epic. this wasnt simply spraying bullets and some kids, they had a plan. bombs would go off in the cafeteria right during lunch, and when peolpe fled, well, then theyd get gunned down. but wait theres another level to this plan. THEN when the emrgency vehicles came, more bombs in their CARS would go off. ok, so the execution was a little off as the bombs basically failed... does this make them failures? well, was this the most deadly school shooting in history at the time, or no? anyhoo... perhaps the most brilliant part of their scheme never got past the planning stages, but nevertheless, this is huge: in the year 1999, part of their plan called for them to hijack airplanes and fly them into the nyc skyscrapers. yeah, you heard that right, they engineered a plan that would be adopted 2 years later by khalid sheikh mohammed and would change the entire course of history. so yeah. note that i dont condone what they did, let me say that plainly... although i can predict right now that a bunch of you bleeding hearts are going to overlook that disclaimer and accuse me of "glorifying mass murderers" or say i am "extremely deranged" like everyone always does. yeah ok, or maybe some of us just appreciate good art

Yeah, but you post this every 4/20.

neo futurist mumbo jumbo without the accent

Why young american artist dress so bad, ugly hip. Why most american artist girls look like chubby dikes who rock mean keoroke. Why artist act stupid, like little kids pretending to be precious like, with annoying jubilance? Why do pretty girl artist always make too smart art that only excites french intellectuals in graves. Why do conceptual artist continue deliver punch lines with romantic vomit that taste like yesterday's shit? Why is weird still an art form and practical not? Why do white people keep making art for psychoanalytic masturbation and dark people make art for social debate? Where does terrorism, culture war, fascism, sadism, evil, power, death, addiction, hedonism fall in between fake american artist with precious pussies, boring dicks and the world of stupid curators who's education, by default of its distance from its subject matter of critique and appraisal, is no longer justified, wanted, needed, necessary.

Art is not a luxury. I remember meeting cute law student at bar 2 years ago and she said something that make me almost punch her in face. "so your an artist, that's great that you have the time to do things, I wish i could have more time to take photographs, i like take pictures" WTF ! Whole generations, whole cultures, whole universes can be condensed to this one bitch at that moment at the threes of club bar in Hollywood, off vine and santa monica, 10:30 pm on a thursday night in 2005. Art is not about pretty pictures in the sky bitch. I dont understand why artist continue to see and make art as process and state of excess, instead as a necessity of a cultural war, a mentality of combat, a definitive hate that is sharp, clear, demanding and vulnerable to the worst actions accessible to human behavior. This is art for me. This is nigger art in the way i have articulated it. It's not nice. it's not pretty. It doesnt come from upple middle class suburbian homes with garden state stories of pussy depression and american beauty dysfucntionality. It doesn't laugh at napoleon dynamite cause it hasn't grown to know irony. It hates Family Guy, excessive witty banter unrealistic and empty. It never takes a prosaic, its never been molested or abused but it makes no promise not to molest and hurt. nigger art has never seen a psychoanalysts nor has screamed injustice in court. Its politics is held with the erection of mandingo dick and the only sentiments it feels is that of the dog whos teeth is already found chewing the leg of young child. Nigger art is the last act of Haneke's 7th continent, Klaus Kinski in werner herzogs aguire the wrath of god, its R.Kelly in trapped in the closet, its the columbine kids, its aldof hitler, its kathy acker, jean genet, santiago serria, gasper noe, gang members, thugs, tupac, jack nicholson in carnal knowledge, michelle houellebecq in his better moments and of course me song kwai li....

But in examining Tubman’s life, it’s clear that putting her face on America’s currency would undermine her legacy. By escaping slavery and helping many others do the same, Tubman became historic for essentially stealing “property.” Her legacy is rooted in resisting the foundation of American capitalism. Tubman didn’t respect America’s economic system, so making her a symbol of it would be insulting.
