What's with all the fake accounts starting to appear???

As AI women get older the hands grow larger:

The AI old is young look works better that most moisturisers.

AI old people and leather. Skin generated by semi-conductors, buffed, oiled and grissailled, and the life well lived reflected in sweat shop bags. It's time for a well-earned rest and a reshaping of the sublime.

I think Masud Khan writes about this in "Hidden Selves", the idea that omnipotence is separate from notions of mastery.

This is absolute madness. There is an innate sense of cruelty about what these people are doing. My heart goes out to you.

I remember driving with my mother a few years back playing a CD of Fanny Crosby's hymns. My mother who was brought up Methodist (decades lapsed) sang along happily, knowing all the words, despite not hearing them for over 70 years.

19th Century Blindness: Fanny Crosby hymn writer. "If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me."

And Johnny would never tell, because who would believe him and, anyway, how do you tell on God? The mind-fucking and spiritual devastation inflicted on victims was at least as damaging long term as the bodily violence and penetration."

above all else and second (maybe) only to God. If a priest took an interest in little Johnny, many parents would be thrilled, never suspecting an overnight with Father at a mountain cabin would include their son’s molestation or rape...

—tinged with hues of divinity: God-ish mediators of divine grace and gatekeepers to the sacraments to which every Catholic craves access. Children, at least in the not so distant past, were raised to believe that the priest was the Über-father of their family and community, a man to be trusted...

"Catholics believe that, at the moment of ordination, an ontological change occurs to the priest through which he becomes an “alter Christus” (other Christ). They also believe that every priest is ordained by bishops who are direct successors of the Apostles. Priests, therefore, are—or at least were

I often reach for "The Language of Psychoanalysis". Excellent resource.

Edouard Manet's pastel sketch of the barmaid for his A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (1882) presents an equally sombre depiction of the model. By turns, they speak to a sad, habituated routine marked by the transition from the apparel of daily life to the embellishments required for bar work in Paris.

I would say so.though the Partisan Review did not have the same pull as TikTok.

...to such diverse people. Each of us who has encountered him has his own Winnicott, and he never transgressed the other's invention of him by any assertion of his own style of being. And yet he always stayed so inexorably Winnicott."

Masud Khan's gushing description of Winnicott,
"A childlike spontaneity imbued his movements. Yet he could be so still, so very inheld and still. I have not met another analyst who was more inevitably himself. It was this quality of his inviolable me-ness that enabled him to be so many persons...

He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody's personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him...
Jung was talking about Hitler, but the parallels with Trump are uncanny

Not paintings as such. Sections of tables used by students in the RMIT MFA program.

I have been watching this series and I am disturbed by it. They call it the MAFS experiment but it's more like an exercise in psychological savagery. The impact on this young man - who does need help - and equally, the young woman will be deeply traumatic. Exploitative, in the name of entertainment.

More variations of the use of hands in media reports about child sex abuse in the church.

I have started researching for a paper about the trope of hands, and in particular clasped hands, in media reports about institutional child sex abuse. The images invariably isolate the hands from the body. There are so many layers of meaning: historical, psychological and political.

Amen to that

Wonderful images!

A series of watercolours I made based on photographs in my school yearbook. I attended a Catholic boarding school. Many of the staff were either convicted of child sex abuse or exiled to Pacific islands to escape conviction. The multiple eyes relate to the all-seeing Salesian 'preventive' system.
