"The hour is transparent;
we see, if the bird is invisible,
the color of its song."
— José Juan Tablada (translated by Santiago Daydi-Tolson) via @isidro_li
"Popular culture’s incapacity to produce innovation is a persistent ambient signal that nothing can ever change. Sometimes, it can seem fiendishly difficult to account for what has happened to popular culture, but the explanation for its sterility and stasis is ultimately quite simple. Innovation in popular culture has overwhelmingly come from the working class. Neoliberalism has been a systematic and sustained attack on working class life – the results are now all around us." --Mark Fisher, 2015
