I am 36 years old and my birthday is in December (so people can do math)

When is not the first time you find yourself in a "Cornell situation". Image: Cabinet of Curiosities. Episode 8. "The Murmuring"

when the best program is when everyone leaves you alone because that means you are not being policed and you can just be happy and be spontaneous again, and instead of being anxious about how a bunch of strangers perceive you (what would mean if you do something) and you can just occupy yourself with matters like how to actually participate in the real world.

Who wants to bring exotic presents to the police and become the next big Santa?

Basically, the story is about a machine that wants to kill everyone after 'inviting them' to play in a labyrinth or impossible infrastructure.

When your biggest aspiration in life is to become a nun who is completely dedicated to a life of contemplation, gardening, and reading books

Since her role in Suicide Squad, it seems Margot Robbie got into many productive scenarios all over the world. So many movies all at once, such an amazing and incredible career. 'Thank God' she is a real blonde and had the luck of being born in a first world country.

One of the interesting things about 'Hacks' (HBO) is how it manages to gather in one single place different generations ("baby boomer's stardom" accustomed to the LA and Las Vegas lifestyle with a generation of the "always creative and disenfranchised"). All this in an experiment that speaks both of the bad taste but decisiveness of older generations as well as the deconstructed reality (with all its boldness) that inhabit younger generations. While I don't find extremely funny all the jokes of the show, I appreciate the whole series as an example of what would mean including more female voices in the industry.

Identity changes when material reality changes (from the book 'tales of degrowth and social mobility')

[cuadernosdecine]

"several disciplines from the social sciences" say that subjectivity and a sense of an identity can be shaped by several factors, such as (but not limited):

1. social class

2. particular (and almost miraculous) histories of social mobility

3. whiteness (or lack of it)

4. stigmas (for example, being gay or being heterosexual in a social environment that appreciates certain values or aesthetics).

5. all sorts of embodied experiences (including disabilities)

Not to be annoying but I personally like to think of both subjectivity and identity almost like the 'water of the river'. Identity is never the same (you can't 'retrieve' past forms of identity when new layers of experience have been added. Each experience has a semiotic value that reconfigures the network of social relations that give shape to your identity). The core of identity is a void. Subjectivity, on the other hand, is a constant process. Identity is sort of found in being, in the middle of the chess game. Is what you end up being as a product of social relations (mostly of power).

Finn is the person behind the auroranocte tumblr page

[cuadernosdecine]

Since Finn cannot stop haunting people and invade their privacy and thoughts (to produce content on the internet and entertain the masses), perhaps Finn should be recognized by what he does: molesting people sexually.

Alfred Hitchcock explaining the Kuleshov Effect and other murder mysteries (it's all about montage. The montage of images to convey specific ideas)

A book for everyone's summer that will make you see all clear.

'The Beast' makes me think about being defeated by the machine, to be then recruited by whatever is in power because no one likes you anymore.
