#Paulie Esther

[amethysia]

Someone at the concert had a super cute outfit and I kinda had to put Paulie in it, lol. It looked so comfy and the color was that delightful fall orange~ Their outfit was a little more billowy, but I'm drawing from memory here, okay? XD

I was reminded over the weekend that Herb Overkill exists and I'm glad he does <3

And I'm not late for Halloween, you are!

In 1963 Swiss architect Fritz Schwarz was commissioned to convert a gravel silo into a holiday home. This conversion entailed blasting openings in the massive concrete structure, a happening-like procedure which the architect also captured on film. These impressive pictures in turn inspired Andri Gerber and Martin Tschanz to the title of the present book: „Sprengkraft Raum - Architektur um 1970 von Esther und Rudolf Guyer, Manuel Pauli, Fritz Schwarz und Pierre Zoelly“, published late last year by Park Books. With the book the editors seek to draw attention to a somewhat overlooked generation of architects whose career had its first peak around 1970, namely Esther & Rudolf Guyer, Manuel Pauli, Fritz Schwarz and Pierre Zoelly: they all had studied at ETH Zurich and befriended each other during this time. With regards to their architecture it was, as Andri Gerber and Martin Tschanz demonstrate in their essays, a particular conception of space that connected them: although not quite as explosive as the book’s title indicates the spatial quality of the five’s buildings is at least surprising against the background of a recognizable dichotomy between inside and outside. Visiting the buildings of the architects with their students Gerber and Tschanz report a certain astonishment on the part of the students as they often hadn’t expected the spatial experiences awaiting them behind the respective buildings’ facades. In fact the buildings reveal their real spatial quality only at first-hand experience as not even floor plans indicate their sophistication. Despite rather straightforward plans and the occasional use of building systems the architects through clever variation and the creative shaping of walls and other non-load bearing elements designed surprising interior spaces. These qualities are further highlighted in a selection of twelve buildings, each of them comprehensively documented in plans, sections, models, photos and insightful texts.

With that said the present volume is hopefully capable of awakening increased interest in the architects and their generation because there is quite something to discover.

"How Long Gone" Podcast Extends North American Tour

 Live podcast tours offer fans a chance to see their favorite podcasters live. For the podcasters, there are two obvious benefits, besides the money made on the tour. First, the podcasters receive that immediate feedback from the live audience that they don't receive while recording. Second, attendance at these live events demonstrates how dedicated the fans of the show are.

 How Long Gonejoined theTalkhouse podcast network last year, delivering their singular brand of charm, unscriptable humor and colorful commentary on all things culture, fashion and fitness to widespread fan and critical acclaim spanning The New York Times, Esquire, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, Interview Magazine, Vulture and more. Hosts Chris Black and Jason Stewart have taken the show on the road with sold-out live shows in the US and UK. They just wrapped a May stint with an appearance at LA’s Just Like Heaven festival and are thrilled to continue with additional North American appearances throughout June. Tickets are available here. 

 Maintaining a tireless clip of three shows per week, and a growing audience of more than half a million monthly listeners, the podcast has welcomed an illustrious array of guests from the worlds of music (Jenny Lewis, Phoebe Bridgers, Waxahatchee, Amen Dunes, Caroline Polachek, Modest Mouse, Shamir, Sleater-Kinney), film (BJ Novak, Paul Scheer, Lee Pace), journalism and media (Bret Easton Ellis, The New Yorker's Naomi Fry, GQ's Will Welch, The Guardian’s Laura Snapes), art and design (Aries' Sofia Prantera, Chloe Wise, Roe Ethridge), culinary arts (Carla Lalli Music, Ghetto Gastro, Uncle Paulie), fellow podcasters (Chapo Trap House, Zane Lowe), and comedy (Moshe Kasher, Bowen Yang, Tom Scharpling, Cat Cohen, Esther King, Robby Hoffman).

Over the past four years, How Long Gone has expanded its brand to include collaborations with record label Jagjaguwar, MatchesFashion, Palmes and others. 

 Black and Stewart have built How Long Gone into something compelling and unique. First launched in the early weeks of the pandemic as a way for the pair to stay in touch and chat with their (smart, successful, often famous) friends, How Long Gone has now run for more than 450 episodes, each one acting like a comedy show, in-depth interview and niche scene report rolled into one.

How Long Gone Tour Dates - TICKETS

6/19: Chicago, IL @ Bottom Lounge

6/20: Toronto, ON @ Great Hall

6/26: Atlanta, GA @ Terminal West

6/27: Washington, DC @ The Atlantis

6/28: Philadelphia, PA @ Johnny Brenda’s

7/01: St Paul, MN @ Turf Club

 Black, 40, works as a creative consultant for brands such as Thom Browne and J Crew; Stewart, 42, is a DJ who threw an influential weekly party at Los Angeles’ now-defunct Cinespace club and taught Zac Efron how to DJ for the 2015 electronic dance music movie We Are Your Friends. Neither are bothered by the idea that their discussion of insidery restaurants, bars, publications and parties – many of which are discussed totally sans-context – may seem too niche. Black describes this quality as the podcast’s “special sauce”, and both hosts agree it is an inherent part of the appeal.

“The way I grew up was like, if you’re hanging out with cool older kids, and they mention a band or a place or a movie, instead of saying, ‘Oh, I don’t know what that is,’ you just laugh and smile, and then you go home, take the time to research what they’re talking about, and discover it yourself,” says Stewart in a Guardian article. “I want to create that for this generation.”

How Long Gone has inadvertently become one of the most insightful looks at sobriety in podcasting. Black is sober, after battling an addiction to prescription opiates in his 30s, while Stewart still drinks and takes drugs; the resulting conversations they have on the podcast about drugs and sobriety are vastly different from those on more specifically wellness-minded shows.

In general, How Long Gone has an air of unproduced reality that sets it apart from a lot of the more scripted-feeling chat shows that abound. Celebrity guests seem endeared to Black and Stewart’s conversational style, which means that How Long Gone’s interviews often feel more revealing.

Theres a bet between Paulie and King. To be honest, I think Paulie deserves to win the bet of reaching 100k subs first. I wanna help him out, he’s always bringing very useful and pleasing content on DBD topics.

Literally if I wanna learn anything important and useful, I go straight to Paulie without worry of clickbait or misleading theories. Help the guy out, hes really underrated. Hes also pretty funny when he gets into the “Tinfoil Hat” theories.

If you must know. Never more than fourteen people at a meeting, and that is pushing it. Generally eight to twelve.

There. Now after all these years you know my religion.

Quotes by myself:

"If your path to God is not the correct path; that is of course not my problem."

"Cannot reason with the unreasonable."

[alonetogethertv]

what. is. happening.

ugh, I've been super busy and haven't had time to color this, but have the line art to a spoopy drawing that I'll eventually color xD

"You've been here before, but something seems...different."

Can you please do another follow up on the interview drama? Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top

"Guys I'm really gay."

They've been drinking for a number of hours. Drained a few bottles at this point, sprawled out on the floor and couches in the living room.

"Wait, you thought we didn't know you were gay?" Esther asks, confused as she lifts her head from the floor.

Lan lifts his own, looking panicked. "What?"

"We know you're gay," Lily tells him.

"Smokey and the Bandit," Ethan chimes in.

"Wh-"

"I took you to see Smokey and the Bandit," Ethan goes on, laughing from the couch. "Lan, you were smitten."

Lan stares around at his siblings.

"No one could blame you," Kitty assures him. "Burt Reynolds is really sexy."

"It's the mustache," Lily agrees.

"Honestly, I'm a little jealous," Esther chimes in again. "I wanted to be the gay one."

"You-"

"Men are terrible," Esther cuts him off.

"Wait, does everyone know?" Lan asks, still completely flabbergasted.

"None of the grandparents guessed," Ethan tells him. "And lucky you, you only have to tell one of them. Unless you wanna tell Sally. I don't think she'd care much."

"But you're being safe, right?" Lily asks worriedly. "The Aids thing isn't getting better, and Reagan is still choosing to ignore the problem."

"I only have the one partner," Lan assures her. "And we've both been tested a couple of times."

"Don't die please," Lily says.

"Doing my best," Lan tells her. "God, I can't believe you all knew all this time. Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because you didn't say anything," Kitty shrugs with a giggle. "What were we supposed to do, point at you and announce it at Yom Kippur dinner?"

"Not that you've been to Yom Kippur dinner in the last couple of years," Esther comments. "Busy movie star that you are."

Len sighs heavily. "Do you think the parents know?"

"Oh, Daddy definitely knows," Lily tells him. "Your dad once mentioned a matchmaker and Daddy blew coffee out his nose."

"Ow," Lan flinches.

"Many, many worse things have gone up and come out that nose," Kitty comments. "He was fine."

"Pop is gonna lose his shit," Lan mutters, pressing the palms of his hands to his eyes. "It's times like these I wish I was a Weissman-Bruce. Midge would not care."

"She'd wrap you in cellophane and ask for the sexual history of everyone you know," Ethan comments. "She's terrified for Uncle Shy right now."

"I'm really fine, you guys," Lan grumbles.

"Keep being fine, please," Kitty insists. She sits up and huffs. "Who wants more whiskey?"

Ethan's hand shoots up, as does Lily's.

"Five people, all aware that addictions runs in every branch of their family," Lan jokes.

"Wait, Mei's family, too?" Esther asks.

"Opium, back in China," Lan explains.

"Well, here's to bad habits," Kitty states, as she refills everyone's glasses.

*****

When Lan opens his eyes again, sunshine is streaming through the smudged windows, and he can smell French toast from the kitchen.

He feels like a little kid again, slumped around with his siblings, delicious smells in the air, and Midge and Lenny's voices - low and soft - coming from the other room.

The aroma of coffee has him pulling himself to his feet. He thought he'd be more hungover, but he actually feels okay. The combination of a handful of aspirin sometime in the night, and good quality liquor making things feel a little easier, most likely.

"Hey, we have a life one," Lenny comments, grinning at him.

"Well, that's one less funeral to plan so soon," Midge jokes, zooming by and kissing Lan's cheek. "Hi, sweetie."

"You guys don't look mad," Lan says, frowning.

Lenny snorts. "Do you know how many times people have said I'm gonna die soon? You're far from the first, and you won't be the last."

"You just have to learn how to give less shitty interviews," Midge tells him, handing him a cup of coffee. "God, this place is not in good shape anymore. Every since Paulie retired..."

"Maybe we should just buy the bungalow," Lenny suggests. "Fix it up nice, give it some love, have a good place for vacations and whatnot."

"It's not the worst idea," Midge grins, before looking at Lan. "How are you? How's LA?"

"LA is good. I'm...I feel awful about that interview," he tells her. "The stuff they said about Mama, and Lenny and Ethan...and then they did a deep-dive on Maisel and Roth and..."

"There are just some journalists who will do anything to get ahead," Midge tells him. "There was this one woman who used to trash every show I ever did."

"Ah, L. Roy Dunham," Lenny muses. "When she trashed Midge's first Gordon Ford appearance, she got so much hate mail, they had to fire her from the Daily News."

"And she died last year," Midge adds. "Food poisoning. Bad pork."

Lan frowns as he sips his coffee. "So...if you're not mad..."

Midge takes a breath and smooths out her dress. "There's a lot of stuff that you kids don't know, that...well..you're all adults now... Lily is nineteen for god's sake, so...it's time. Once your parents get here, and everyone's been fed and given hangover cures, we'll all talk."

Lan nods.

"You know the best thing about being the first up is first dibs on the shower," Lenny tells him.

Lan lifts an playfully eyebrow. "Lenny, are you telling me I smell?"

"I absolutely am. Go."

Lan laughs and takes his coffee upstairs.

With the emergence of large-scale architectural structures and increasingly complex, multi-functional interior spaces in the 1960s solutions had to be found to facilitate orientation for visitors and inhabitants. At this point signage systems came in and provided orientation. One of the undisputed pioneers of the field in Switzerland was Hansruedi Scheller (1931-2007) who developed more than 200 signage systems for buildings by the likes of Rudolf and Esther Guyer and Manuel Pauli. As former Swiss champion in orienteering Scheller possessed a highly developed sense of direction that he very effectively used in his simple and easily graspable signages.

Between 1949 and 1953 Scheller received his training at Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich where the teaching staff was heavily influenced by the ideas and methods of the Bauhaus. In 1955 he went into business for himself and in the early years of his practice primarily designed brochures, posters and signets but consciously avoided advertising graphic. In the mid-1960s commissions by the Swiss army also made him design his first pictograms, a working field that consecutively became Scheller’s second mainstay.

In view of the sheer amount of projects Scheller was involved in it is surprising that his name isn’t as well-known as those of some of his contemporaries, a circumstance that likely has to do with his reluctance to teach or write about his work. Fortunately architectural historian Ruedi Weidmann and designer Thomas Bruggisser in 2017 discovered Scheller’s estate including some 4,800 photographs of mostly executed projects that provided the basis for the present book „Hansruedi Scheller - Signaletikpionier“, recently published by Triest Verlag. Beyond offering brief overviews of Scheller’s life and work the book contains a selection of archival photographs that offer first insights into his work: colorful signages alternate with complete spatial designs that demonstrate Scheller’s ambition to create enjoyable spaces beyond signage alone.

Weidmann and Bruggisser’s book despite its small size is a beautiful, lively portrait of a somewhat forgotten pioneer whose work even after decades still fascinates. Warmly recommended!

This dumbass, Injured Ace literally led the Killer all the way to the Hooked person despite Kindred showing that I was already with them. And everyone knew the person was Hooked by the Totem so I was doing that first. But then fucking Ace decides to just lead the Oni all the way to us. And it ends up with 1 person having to save all our asses because he fucked me over. Ace didn’t have Borrowed Time either. No reason to come over there at all.

I spawn in next to Hex Totem and do it. I then round the edge of the map to the next Totem spawn which is also a Hex. I keep going and while doing my 3rd Hex in a row, another Hex is broken. And then seconds after the 3rd one breaks, the 5th one breaks. The Killer rage-quit. It was apparently Devour Hope and Undying. Pathetic. A Michael who can’t win without that combo? Seriously? And then had to message all of us to tell us we’re tryhards? The Gens nearest to me were blocked and I knew that meant the Killer was on the other side of the map. Why would I go over there when I can break Totems to pass time until the Gens aren’t blocked anymore?

So I let this Claudette die on Hook because in an earlier match, she made no attempt to save me at the end despite the fact that I saved her ass once already, and I hadn’t even been Hooked all game. She and the other 2 teammates, who could have all been a distraction, fucking let me die and just ran out the door. I’m petty.

Today(Monday) was the day in which I liberated Med-Kits from people’s corpses. Since they don’t show up in my Claudeet’s bloodweb, this is my best chance! XD 4 purples, 3 yellows, and 9 browns!

Killer using Hexes Haunted Grounds and Unydyng together. We broke all the Totems and she got no one down even with essentially 3 Haunted Grounds effects!

Got a Killer dumb enough to face camp me and in that time, 4 Gens popped by the time I was at the end of struggle phase 2. And when that fourth Gen popped, the Killer hit me and then rage-quit(meaning I still Escaped). Then sent me some shit about how we SWFs need to ‘take the L’. We weren’t swf. And like, if he’s dumb enough to stand still for almost 2 minutes doing nothing but nodding, they might as well take advantage of it. 3 different Gens popped at once and then they all did the fourth together.

A Steve left our lobby and then reappeared. Then left again. Then reappeared. The left again. Then reappeared. He stopped trying to leave after that. XD Mr. Wet Ass Pussy over here. I had a Breakout build going on, so I prevented Meg from getting Hooked like a bajillion times, always ending up in the dying state with Steve having to come and heal me up for another go! We all died but it took forever and the Deathslinger was so peeved he let me bleed out in the hall.

Wraith has to be the weakest Killer because if he was better, there’d be no way all these Wraith Mains would need to invisible camp a Hook just to get a Kill(and then somehow get no Kills all match cuz they just suck that much).

Got a Trapper to DC cuz I pushed my dying body against a window and then he kept trying to pick me up but would just vault and I don’t remember how many times, since I was laughing so hard, but the dude just rage-quit instead of leaving me there!

Spent 9K Iridescent Shards on Deathslinger. Couldn’t help myself.

Just my luck to get Paulie Esther(one of the best known DbD streamers/YouTubers) and his friends during my first match as Deathslinger. During his birthday stream. I did okay. I think one of the friends gave me a pity kill by staying until the Endgame Collapse finished. That or they were too far from the other door(apparently they were since she said ‘he’s standing in front of the door!’ when the timer was almost up) and I was standing in front of the lever so they couldn’t finish opening my door.

Got a second game with him an hour later! Got 2 Kills this time right in the endgame and he was one of them! I was Spirit this time though! My redemption!

dbddayjp2020 will get you 200K blood points if you redeem this code in the game store.

This^ made me panic because those two were connected to the bloodweb. But then I went to check Perks and came back and it was normal again. I put in about 900K BP into this dude already. LV 38.
