philographics

another well done series of minimalis symbolic posters. i can’t remember if our last posts were done by the same person, but these attempts to explain complex philosophical theories through basic shapes were sorted out by genis carreras. The resulting graphics are simple, bold, and most importantly, meaningful. see more here.  by kl

no means no

while we’re on this tangent, let’s remember no means no. ya? i actually didn’t know how obscure they were as my teen years were spent in a small town canadian bubble. i held them in the same regard as the dead kennedy’s, and kmfdm. luvs. oh my goodness, nostalgia over machine, when do we learn our lessons?  by kl

fugazi is for fake

no, not the f-ing amazing orson wells film ‘f is for fake’ exposed in an enlightening session with dd back in the day. but the definition.

according to my wiktionary…

Etymology

From Italian slang fugazi (“fake”); perhaps also slang version of fugacious derived from Latin fugac-, stem of fugāx (“ready to flee, flying”), hence, fleeting, transitory.

[edit] Adjective

fugazi (not generally comparable; )

  1. (slang) Artificial, fake, false. Can be in reference to a thing or a person. If a person it is usually in reference to a superficial person.
  2. (slang) Something that has no substance.

oh f.
