The thing about this scene though is that you can see that Charles Melton is actually making an effort. Unexpectedly the most likely Riverdale actor to go on to something serious. Attitude is everything.

I cite this in my dissertation! Lol rke.abertay.ac.uk/en/studentTh...

2.2 Prehistory: Art Games and Art-cades
While many art and design institutions have recently put on shows about videogames, and even added games to their collections, the connection between videogames and art galleries goes back further than many would guess. A newspaper article from 1983 is one of the earliest instances of a major institution engaging with the videogames of the day, but in this case for a fundraising event. The Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC held its “ARTcade” event in February 1983, featuring titles like Pole Position and Joust. Descriptions of the event, as well as quotes from attendees and organizers, reveal ambivalent and conflicting attitudes about the meaning of these arcade games in an arts context.

While a review in an enthusiast gaming magazine at the time frames the event as an “exhibit,” a first-hand account reported in the Washington Post frames it as a one-night-only fundraising event for the Corcoran School of Art’s scholarship fund (Trebbe 1983, Blakeman 1984). Art Buchwald, a local political commentator and columnist describes the event as “better than a boring dinner,” going on to say “I have a feeling that if they covered up the coin slots...

...on the machines, people would call it art.” On the other hand, Michael Botwinick, the director of the Corcoran Gallery at the time states in no uncertain terms, "This building is full of art. The machines are here to raise money," separating the arcade cabinets from the work in the institutional collection on the basis that they are commercial machines, requiring money to play, and their presence in the building is only temporary.

The article also reveals several early themes surrounding discussions of videogames within the art world. The novelty of “folks in formal dress” playing the games within the “marble halls” of the gallery is commented on, and videogames themselves are framed as both popular (“look at the people coming in the door!”) and yet a “gimmick” within the museum space. The ambassadors, political analysts and council members that the author of the article interviews generally describe themselves as unfamiliar and unskilled with videogames, especially in comparison to children. Interestingly, the event seems to have capitalized on this unfamiliarity, and as a part of the program had separate areas where local “celebs” would play games competitively for the crowd. The event also seemed to provoke the common concerns about the effect of video arcades on children. One Washington DC council member stated: “people have been asking me about taxing video games and about the law for closing video arcades during certain times for school kids,” but goes on to say, “I grew up playing pinball and I turned out okay” (Trebbe 1983).

ARTcade was not considered an exhibition by the Corcoran Gallery, and information about its planning is filed in the miscellaneous financial office archives of the institution, yet it still expressed arguments about the relationship of videogames to the art world, albeit mostly negative (Kovacs 1985). At this time, videogames were framed as culturally relevant to the public, but mostly to children. They were considered different from the art in the rest of the gallery for several reasons, because they are commercial, because they are technological, and because they are only there for a temporary event. The ARTcade and its resulting coverage argues that videogames can be useful, enjoyable, and not inherently harmful (especially to the development of children), but their presence in an art institution alone does not put them on the same level as art in the collection.

presented with my review of the third A Christmas Prince movie

These movies obviously get worse as they go but this once culminated in the pornographic equivalent of a hardcore gangbang scene for romance tropes, the main character literally breaks a curse, restores peace between two countries, WHILE in labor, ON Christmas eve, WHILE her best friend gets engaged etc etc. Like everyone else on imdb I am also extremely mad about the dad switcheroo. They thought they could get away with it!

Awesome entry in the "Depictions In Fiction" section of the wikipedia article for "Interregnum"

In the film A Christmas Prince, the Kingdom of Aldovia limits interregna to a maximum of one year. This becomes a central plot point when it appears Crown Prince Richard may not accept the throne prior to the Christmas deadline.

They are both so funny (Gore Vidal talking about Thomas Mann)

Not long ago I received a telephone call from the biographer of Thomas Mann. Did I know, he asked, the profound effect that my book had had on Mann? I made some joke to the effect that at least toward the end of his life he may have learned how to spell my name. “But he didn’t read the book until 1950, and as he read it he commented on it in his diaries. They’ve just been published in Germany. Get them.” Now I have read, with some amazement, of the effect that Mann’s twenty-one-year-old admirer had on what was then a seventy-five-year-old world master situated by war in California.

Wednesday 22, XI, 50

…Began to read the homo-erotic novel “The City and the Pillar” by Vidal. The day at the cabin by the river and the love-play scene between Jim and Bob was quite brilliant. —Stopped reading late. Very warm night.

Thursday 23, XI, 50

…Continued “City and Pillar.”

Friday 24, XI, 50

…In the evening continued reading “The City and the Pillar.” Interesting, yes. An important human document, of excellent and enlightening truthfulness. The sexual, the affairs with the various men, is still incomprehensible to us. How can one sleep with men—[Mann uses the word Herren, which means not “men” but “gentlemen.” Is this Mann being satiric? A rhetorical question affecting shock?].

These "Christian Alternative" band names are really bold because I can almost imagine the actual music I'd expect if I saw them on a gig poster. Breakfast With Amy is like a Shellac-type project

Adam Again, Quickflight, Daniel Amos, Youth Choir (later renamed the Choir), Lifesavers Underground, Michael Knott, the Prayer Chain, Altar Boys, Breakfast with Amy, Steve Taylor, 4-4-1, David Edwards and Vector. Early labels, most now-defunct, included Blonde Vinyl, Frontline, Exit, and Refuge.[1]

however in happier news I have finally found some pickles available near me that satisfy my needs for saltiness, crunchiness, and garlic level. These three qualities are very rare in the UK.... they look like this and I have been eating a jar a week since I found them

man whatever. working on a blog post about manifesto jam in broader terms but this point feels too relevant to just sit on for a few more days

The dismissals, to me, seemed to indicate that there is far less interest in communication between professionalized games industry and indie actors and people who are involved in the looser community around games (events, curation, fandom), or make work that isn’t professionalized.

It’s not like, there’s one single point where someone actively decides one day, I’ve had enough of these weird, unprofessional people making experimental free or pwyw games, they’re harming the industry, or they didn’t end up making the industry more prestigious or broader or stable, they don’t have anything to say, they’re getting attention my project should get, they’re annoying, writing about them doesn’t get me enough clicks… etc… though thanks to the advances in access to others’ unfiltered consciousness that poster’s madness offers, all of these sentiments come up explicitly on social media from time to time.

It’s more like, due to increasing precarity and professional insecurity, there’s eventually a stimulus (like a bunch of experimental, amateur, queer, free games people posting their vision for creating work at once) that makes more people respond in a more negative way than they would have before, and the collective point is passed: this is cringe or stupid now, even if it is the same thing and working towards the same ends (ends which, I don’t think anyone would argue have been resolved!) as it was a few years ago.

Before you know it, blaming some form of outsider becomes a more amenable prospect because the economy sux. I think the extent to which people can seem to arbitrarily slip into these sort of attitudes based on forces that are not directly related to ie what games are being released or discussed now is what someone is observing when they describe a kind of overall negative “vibe shift.”

Here is the passage in "Art After Money" by Max Haiven which I first found it! Thank goodness for people who just upload full ebooks to are.na because I'd lost my own copy... haha

beings were inherently artists, entitled to use the imagination to transform the world. For Beuys, arguably this was a highly individualist formula: it would seem that, in general, Beuys’ concern was for the fate of the singular imagination, not society at large. But this notion of the universality of the artistic vocation might also be read to echo Marx (and also perhaps anthropologist Marcel Mauss). From this vantage, the imaginative potential, under the capitalist economic relationship of exploitation, is not so much lost as subsumed or redirected in the interests of reproducing commodities, the same commodities the worker was compelled to purchase.47 The chief mediator and medium of both the exploitation of labor and the circulation of commodities is money, a substance that, especially in the case of paper banknotes, is largely imaginary. From this perspective, Beuys would not be making a simplistic argument that money is an illusion. He might be said to be translating Mauss’s observation that money is the “false coin of our dreams,” our own inherent imaginative power returned to us as a worldly token.
