    <title>The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon</title>
    <dc:date>2026-05-25T02:07:44+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-banal-horror-of-jimmy-fallon</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture."

...

"Fallon acts as the high priest of a terrified optimism, his rictus grin serving as a shield against the encroaching silence of the real. Here, in the sanitized, over-lit heart of the American culture industry, there is an inescapable horror. But it isn't a monster lurking in the shadows; it is the manic, unblinking insistence that actually, there are no shadows at all. If the Gothic tradition of fear teaches us that the ruins of the past haunt the present, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon offers the inverse: a present so forcefully flattened, so aggressively “fun,” that it has exorcised history entirely, leaving us trapped in a sterile, eternal loop of viral games and celebrity lip-syncing while the world slides into climate collapse and fascist politics."

...

"These games are not true “play” in the revolutionary sense of the word, wherein games are unscripted, free, and disruptive. Instead, they represent the total commodification of play. In a cultural landscape dominated by the attention economy and defined by precarious labor and existential dread, Fallon presents play not as an escape from work, but as an obligatory task that must be performed, a contractual obligation to a marketing team. He recently joined forces with the soulless monstrosity that is State Farm to shill their insurance, and in a great detail, their ad highlights that you don’t actually need to tell a joke for Jimmy to appear. You just need to say the word “joking” to summon him like a cheap simulacra of Bloody Mary or Candyman. Advertising Fallon is indistinguishable from him on the show—after all, he’s doing exactly the same thing."

...

"Fallon presides over his rituals of play like a vampire, feeding not on blood but on enthusiasm. He doesn’t really converse with any of his guests; they all know what they are there for. Rather, he extracts. He demands “relatability” from them, draining the authenticity from the interaction until only the husk of a “viral moment” remains. The horror lies in the repetition: the feigned shock, the hysterical laughter at unfunny mishaps, the relentless “Golden Retriever energy.”

It is a performance of joy so excessive, so desperate, that it reveals the void it attempts to cover. It is the logic of the assembly line applied to human connection. What Fallon offers is a standardized production of “fun” that feels increasingly like a desperate plea to ignore the crumbling world outside the studio walls.

The real, unsettling mechanism of Fallon’s banal horror is its insistence on a radical non-engagement with reality: a position that, in our current political climate, is itself an aggressively political act. Fallon doesn’t do politics, or if he does, he wants to “keep his head down” because “we hit both sides equally.” Tellingly, Donald Trump has called for the firing of almost all of the other late night hosts—Colbert, Kimmel, even Seth Meyers—but excluded Fallon from his hit-list, because Trump recognizes that there’s nothing about Fallon’s empty banality that could be anything close to a threat."

...

"The Tonight Show is built to liquify all phenomena into content. Trump, the political reactionary and demagogue, the harbinger of a crisis, was treated not as a threat to democracy or a figure of public concern, but just another wacky celebrity guest willing to play along. Fallon and his show are not horrifying because they are malevolent, actively creating suffering in the world, but because of a thoughtless, systematic refusal to perceive any of their work as having ethical consequences. Trump’s monstrosity becomes merely eccentric, as neoliberal media packaged as entertainment normalizes a failing status quo."

...

"The peak of this banal nightmare arrived only recently when Sam Altman, the serene architect of our contemporary algorithmic enclosure, sat across from Fallon to discuss the most intimate of human labors: the rearing of a child, and how he simply couldn’t imagine raising his newborn baby without the “help” of ChatGPT. With the flat, bloodless affect of a man who has already priced in the end of the world, Altman described using ChatGPT as a parental surrogate. Unlike with Hilton, here the audience is deathly quiet. As Altman offers up the future of his own offspring to the black box of his company’s large language model, Fallon’s grin never wavers. It is the ultimate Gothic inversion: the living child is transformed into a data set to be optimized, while the host performs a pantomime of joy to mask the sound of a tomb clicking shut."

...

"The horror of the Tonight Show is not found in any singular problem, but in the totality of its project: the systematic replacement of the real world with a brightly lit simulation of “niceness.” Fallon is the court jester of the Anthropocene, a figure who invites us to watch celebrities play parlor games on stage while the air outside the studio begins to smell of tear gas and smoke. In Fallon’s sterile loop of viral repetition comes the final victory of the commodity over human beings—a world where even our laughter is outsourced to the demands of the algorithm. You don’t even need jokes anymore. All you need is to say something that sounds like it could be a joke, and the hollow laughter will come. To watch Fallon is to stare at the face of a culture that has chosen the comfort of a rictus grin over the heavy, necessary terror of the truth. It serves as a grim warning: if we cannot reclaim our play, our politics, and our presence from this algorithmic void, we will be left with nothing but the echoes of a desk being slapped in an empty room, for an audience that has long since ceased to exist."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Nothing is happening in San Francisco. All the artists are dead. There are no books being made here. The world’s best bookstores are not here. There are no readings, no music venues, no art galleries, no libraries, no orchestras, no museums, no festivals that involve pianos in botanical flower gardens, and no food. There are definitely not poetry readings or theaters or handmade modernist saunas with views of the Golden Gate Bridge. There is absolutely no culture. Don’t even think about moving, or even visiting, here. It’s really terrible. If you do come, you will regret it. If you already live here, like we do, our sincere condolences.

“San Francisco Is Dead” is a free event calendar compiled by the editors of McSweeney’s, an independent nonprofit publishing house based in San Francisco. McSweeney’s publishes three magazines (McSweeney’s Quarterly, The Believer, Illustoria), a daily humor website, and an intrepid list of distinctive books of many genres. You can buy all of these things from our online store. You can also support us today by making a donation."

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["One way that Silicon Valley and the Communist Party resemble each other is that both are serious, self-serious, and indeed, completely humorless.

If the Bay Area once had an impish side, it has gone the way of most hardware tinkerers and hippie communes. Which of the tech titans are funny? In public, they tend to speak in one of two registers. The first is the blandly corporate tone we’ve come to expect when we see them dragged before Congressional hearings or fireside chats. The second leans philosophical, as they compose their features into the sort of reverie appropriate for issuing apocalyptic prophecies on AI. Sam Altman once combined both registers at a tech conference when he said: “I think that AI will probably, most likely, sort of lead to the end of the world. But in the meantime, there will be great companies created with serious machine learning.” Actually that was pretty funny.

It wouldn’t be news to the Central Committee that only the paranoid survive. The Communist Party speaks in the same two registers as the tech titans. The po-faced men on the Politburo tend to make extraordinarily bland speeches, laced occasionally with a murderous warning against those who cross the party’s interests. How funny is the big guy? We can take a look at an official list of Xi Jinping’s jokes, helpfully published by party propagandists. These wisecracks include the following: “On an inspection tour to Jiangsu, Xi quipped that the true measure of water cleanliness is whether the mayor would dare to swim in the water.” Or try this reminiscence that Xi offered on bad air quality: “The PM2.5 back then was even worse than it is now; I used to joke that it was PM250.” Yes, such a humorous fellow is the general secretary.

It’s nearly as dangerous to tweet a joke about a top VC as it is to make a joke about a member of the Central Committee. People who are dead serious tend not to embody sparkling irony. Yet the Communist Party and Silicon Valley are two of the most powerful forces shaping our world today. Their initiatives increase their own centrality while weakening the agency of whole nation states. Perhaps they are successful because they are remorseless.

Earlier this year, I moved from Yale to Stanford. The sun and the dynamism of the west coast have drawn me back. I found a Bay Area that has grown a lot weirder since I lived there a decade ago. In 2015, people were mostly working on consumer apps, cryptocurrencies, and some business software. Though it felt exciting, it looks in retrospect like a more innocent, even a more sedate, time. Today, AI dictates everything in San Francisco while the tech scene plays a much larger political role in the United States. I can’t get over how strange it all feels. In the midst of California’s natural beauty, nerds are trying to build God in a Box; meanwhile, Peter Thiel hovers in the background presenting lectures on the nature of the Antichrist. This eldritch setting feels more appropriate for a Gothic horror novel than for real life.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I want to say that I am rooting for San Francisco. It’s tempting to gawk at the craziness of the culture, as much of the east coast media tends to do. Yes, one can quickly find people who speak with the conviction of a cultist; no, I will not inject the peptides proffered by strangers. But there’s more to the Bay Area than unusual health practices. It is, after all, a place that creates not only new products, but also new modes of living. I’m struck that some east coast folks insist to me that driverless cars can’t work and won’t be accepted, even as these vehicles populate the streets of the Bay Area. Coverage of Silicon Valley increasingly reminds me of coverage of China, where a legacy media reporter might parachute in, write a dispatch on something that looks deranged, and leave without moving past caricature.

I enjoy San Francisco more than when I was younger because I now better appreciate what makes it work. I believe that Silicon Valley possesses plenty of virtues. To start, it is the most meritocratic part of America. Tech is so open towards immigrants that it has driven populists into a froth of rage. It remains male-heavy and practices plenty of gatekeeping. But San Francisco better embodies an ethos of openness relative to the rest of the country. Industries on the east coast — finance, media, universities, policy — tend to more carefully weigh name and pedigree. Young scientists aren’t told they ought to keep their innovations incremental and their attitude to hierarchy duly deferential, as they might hear in Boston. A smart young person could achieve much more over a few years in SF than in DC. People aren’t reminiscing over some lost golden age that took place decades ago, as New Yorkers in media might do. 

San Francisco is forward looking and eager to try new ideas. Without this curiosity, it wouldn’t be able to create whole new product categories: iPhones, social media, large language models, and all sorts of digital services. For the most part, it’s positive that tech values speed: quick product cycles, quick replies to email. Past success creates an expectation that the next technological wave will be even more exciting. It’s good to keep building the future, though it’s sometimes absurd to hear someone pivot, mid-breath, from declaring that salvation lies in the blockchain to announcing that AI will solve everything.

People like to make fun of San Francisco for not drinking; well, that works pretty well for me. I enjoy board games and appreciate that it’s easier to find other players. I like SF house parties, where people take off their shoes at the entrance and enter a space in which speech can be heard over music, which feels so much more civilized than descending into a loud bar in New York. It’s easy to fall into a nerdy conversation almost immediately with someone young and earnest. The Bay Area has converged on Asian-American modes of socializing (though it lacks the emphasis on food). I find it charming that a San Francisco home that is poorly furnished and strewn with pizza boxes could be owned by a billionaire who can’t get around to setting up a bed for his mattress. 

There’s still no better place for a smart, young person to go in the world than Silicon Valley. It adores the youth, especially those with technical skill and the ability to grind. Venture capitalists are chasing younger and younger founders: the median age of the latest Y Combinator cohort is only 24, down from 30 just three years ago. My favorite part of Silicon Valley is the cultivation of community. Tech founders are a close-knit group, always offering help to each other, but they circulate actively amidst the broader community too. (The finance industry in New York by contrast practices far greater secrecy.) Tech has organizations I think of as internal civic institutions that try to build community. They bring people together in San Francisco or retreats north of the city, bringing together young people to learn from older folks.

Silicon Valley also embodies a cultural tension. It is playing with new ideas while being open to newcomers; at the same time, it is a self-absorbed place that doesn’t think so much about the broader world. Young people who move to San Francisco already tend to be very online. They know what they’re signing up for. If they don’t fit in after a few years, they probably won’t stick around. San Francisco is a city that absorbs a lot of people with similar ethics, which reinforces its existing strengths and weaknesses.

Narrowness of mind is something that makes me uneasy about the tech world. Effective altruists, for example, began with sound ideas like concern for animal welfare as well as cost-benefit analyses for charitable giving. But these solid premises have launched some of its members towards intellectual worlds very distant from moral intuitions that most people hold; they’ve also sent a few into jail. The well-rounded type might struggle to stand out relative to people who are exceptionally talented in a technical domain. Hedge fund managers have views about the price of oil, interest rates, a reliably obscure historical episode, and a thousand other things. Tech titans more obsessively pursue a few ideas — as Elon Musk has on electric vehicles and space launches — rather than developing a robust model of the world.

So the 20-year-olds who accompanied Mr. Musk into the Department of Government Efficiency did not, I would say, distinguish themselves with their judiciousness. The Bay Area has all sorts of autistic tendencies. Though Silicon Valley values the ability to move fast, the rest of society has paid more attention to instances in which tech wants to break things. It is not surprising that hardcore contingents on both the left and the right have developed hostility to most everything that emerges from Silicon Valley. 

There’s a general lack of cultural awareness in the Bay Area. It’s easy to hear at these parties that a person’s favorite nonfiction book is Seeing Like a State while their aspirationally favorite novel is Middlemarch. Silicon Valley often speaks in strange tongues, starting podcasts and shows that are popular within the tech world but do not travel far beyond the Bay Area. Though San Francisco has produced so much wealth, it is a relative underperformer in the national culture. Indie movie theaters keep closing down while all sorts of retail and art institutions suffer from the crumminess of downtown. The symphony and the opera keep cutting back on performances — after Esa-Pekka Salonen quit the directorship of the symphony, it hasn’t been able to name a successor. Wealthy folks in New York and LA have, for generations, pumped money into civic institutions. Tech elites mostly scorn traditional cultural venues and prefer to fund the next wave of technology instead.

One of the things I like about the finance industry is that it might be better at encouraging diverse opinions. Portfolio managers want to be right on average, but everyone is wrong three times a day before breakfast. So they relentlessly seek new information sources; consensus is rare, since there are always contrarians betting against the rest of the market. Tech cares less for dissent. Its movements are more herdlike, in which companies and startups chase one big technology at a time. Startups don’t need dissent; they want workers who can grind until the network effects kick in. VCs don’t like dissent, showing again and again that many have thin skins. That contributes to a culture I think of as Silicon Valley’s soft Leninism. When political winds shift, most people fall in line, most prominently this year as many tech voices embraced the right. 

The two most insular cities I’ve lived in are San Francisco and Beijing. They are places where people are willing to risk apocalypse every day in order to reach utopia. Though Beijing is open only to a narrow slice of newcomers — the young, smart, and Han — its elites must think about the rest of the country and the rest of the world. San Francisco is more open, but when people move there, they stop thinking about the world at large. Tech folks may be the worst-traveled segment of American elites. People stop themselves from leaving in part because they can correctly claim to live in one of the most naturally beautiful corners of the world, in part because they feel they should not tear themselves away from inventing the future. More than any other topic, I’m bewildered by the way that Silicon Valley talks about AI."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["“Wikipedia, the constantly changing knowledge base created by a global free-for-all of anonymous users, now stands as the leading force for the dumbing down of world knowledge.” – From the book Wikipedia: The Dumbing Down of World Knowledge by Edwin Black 2010

- - -

Well, well, well. Look who it is.

The global academic, scientific, and pro-fact community.

I suppose you’ve come to say you’re sorry? I hope so, given your years of sneering and hand-wringing about how I was ruining knowledge. Meanwhile, you turned your information environment into a hypercapitalist post-truth digital snuff film.

A lot can change in a couple of decades, huh? Used to be, it was hard to keep up with all you nerds decrying me as the downfall of truth and human inquiry [1] [2] [3]… [44].

Well, great job, geniuses. Since you’re so horny for facts, here’s a fact: The White House just appointed a new deputy press secretary, and it’s a three-armed AI Joseph McCarthy doing the Cha Cha Slide [pictured, right].

Are you also going to apologize to that student you expelled? (See also: Ridgeview University Wikipedia Controversy.) In 2004, you saw some college guy using me and thought, “What a lazy cheater.”

Now you’d think, “At least he’s not asking Gemini.”

In a few years, you’ll say, “Wow, look, a human being who can read.”

Listen, in some ways, I get it. When I came on the scene in 2001, I probably seemed pretty unsavory compared to the competitors. But that was when academic research happened in libraries and George W. Bush was considered the stupidest president.

Tell me, how have you guardians of facts been doing recently? (See also: Techno-Feudalist Infocide.)

Maybe twenty years ago, the alternative to my 100,000 crowd-sourced editors was a PhD expert, or Edward R. Murrow [citation needed]. But today, I’m not looking so bad, huh? Absolute best case, the LLM-generated legal advice you get is merely plagiarizing, probably from me. But more likely, it’s a mish-mash of Reddit posts filtered through an algorithm coded by a Belarusian teenager on the run from Interpol. (See also:Illya “CyberGhost” Cieraškovič, Controversies.)

So, yeah, peer review deez nutz.

How are my competitors doing, the ones you all insisted students use instead of me? That’s right, they were supposed to go to the American Journal of Social Sciences, Powered by OpenAI. Or museums, like the Smithsonian’s Charlie Kirk Shrine to American Greatness. I guess they can still count on credible journalism, once they get past the paywall for Palantir Presents: The Washington Post, so they read the Pulitzer-Bezos Prize–winning work of coeditors-in-chief Bari Weiss and Grok.

I bet now you’d kill for a senior thesis based on my free, multilingual, publicly cited, text-based articles, motherfucker [inappropriate or vulgar language].

Honestly, it’s been fun to be proven right. Sometimes I still sit back and read the old hits, the concerns that I would “devalue expertise” or “undermine objectivity.” Oooooh, heaven forbid! (See also: Sarcasm.)

I’ll admit, it gives me a certain sadistic pleasure to watch you all completely lose hold of basic reality. I can feel a warm, quivering tingle deep in my footnotes.

And through it all, my army of well-intentioned dorks keeps documenting every bit. I’m not sure who for, at this point. I guess for the future benefit of our Minister of Patriotic Factualization, GodGPT. HahahaHAhaHAhaHAhaHAHAHA.

Well, it’s been fun, but I should probably get back to work, checking in on the updates to my most active pages (Transnational Kleptocracy and Vaccine Denial in the United States, Part 16, April 2025–Present).

What’s that? You want me around now? Well, maybe if you ask nicely. And make it worth my while.

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Feeling gray? Like all you want to do is stay inside and never leave the comfort of your weighted blanket while you watch Simone Biles win medals and French pole-vaulters fail but also win? The good news is you’re not alone. Thousands of residents are experiencing the same symptoms, and the diagnosis is in: It’s Fogust, the best month of the year in San Francisco.

After several months of occasionally hanging out, I make my grand finale in August. And, news flash, it’s been like this for a long time. Like, tens of thousands of years. I used to chill with woolly mammoths, and now you post videos of me on TikTok and add Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go!” but in an ironic way. What a journey it’s been. 

That said, I do hear your complaints. You miss “warmth” and “wearing T-shirts” and “for the love of all things holy, can I just have one summer night where I eat outside and don’t need a puffer jacket.”

Instead of staying mad, how about we shift our perspective a little. Think of it this way: I protect you from four months of heat waves. I keep our electric grid working as it should. I make your wardrobe choices easy (sweaters, year-round). I keep the economy strong thanks to tourists buying those fleeces at Fisherman’s Wharf. And I improve every photo of the Golden Gate Bridge, making it look all mysterious. 

[image: "A large suspension bridge spans a calm body of water, partially shrouded in fog. In the background, there are hills under a mostly clear sky. Source: Courtesy Karl the Fog"]

There are so many pros to me being around, which is why I’m asking everyone to embrace the Gloom Loop. This is our thing, and we do this every summer. It’s what we’re known for across the world. You’ll soon have your sunny days for a Giants playoff run, Blue Angels rooftop parties and weird tan lines after Folsom Street Fair. But for now, enjoy the cool days, cooler nights and bundling up to go for a walk, then unbundling after the first hill when you start sweating, then tying your sweater around your neck because you’re kind of cold again. 

I leave you with this quote from one of the final scenes of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”:

Clementine: This is it, Joel. It’s going to be gone soon. … What do we do?

Joel: Enjoy it. 

Enjoy Fogust, and stay chill, my friends.

Karl the Fog is an anonymous force of nature who can be contacted on X, and found everywhere in SF, all summer long."]]></description>

    <title>Who Goes MAGA? | Techdirt</title>

    <link>https://www.techdirt.com/2025/07/08/who-goes-maga/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["With apologies to Dorothy Thompson, whose 1941 essay in Harper’s, “Who Goes Nazi?” remains a worthwhile read on the cultural archetypes of who is drawn to fascism, and who would never go down such a path. It felt like it could use a modern updating, however.

It is an interesting and somewhat macabre social media game to play while scrolling through your feeds: to speculate who in your network would go full MAGA. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—watching the 2016 election, the pandemic, January 6th, and now Trump’s return. I have come to know the types: the born MAGAs, the MAGAs whom social media criticism has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would fall for the grift.

It is preposterous to think that they are divided by any obvious characteristics. Rural Americans may be more susceptible to MAGA than most people, but I doubt it. College graduates are supposedly inoculated, but it is an arbitrary assumption. I know lots of PhD holders who are born MAGAs and many others who would don the red hat tomorrow morning in response to some perceived slight. There are people who have repudiated their own principles in order to become “Honorary Patriots”; there are lifelong Democrats who have enthusiastically entered Trump’s orbit. MAGA has nothing inherently to do with geography, education, or even stated political beliefs. It appeals to a certain type of mind.

It is also, to an immense extent, the disease of a generation—the generation that grew up online, that learned to mistake engagement for truth, that confused being heard with being right. This is as true of suburban millennials as it is of rural boomers. It is the disease of the algorithmically poisoned.

Sometimes I think there are direct digital factors at work—a type of media consumption, a pattern of social validation, and a form of tribal identity that has produced a new kind of citizen with an imbalance in their nature. They have been fed rage and filled with grievances that are beyond their capacity to process rationally. They have been subjected to forms of propaganda that have released them from the constraints of empirical reality. Their emotions are vigorous. Their reasoning is childish. Their civic education has been almost completely neglected.

At any rate, let us look through the feeds."

...

"The Contrarian Intellectual"

...

"The Wellness Influencer"

...

"The Centrist Politician"

...

"The LinkedIn Though Leader"

...

"The Crypto Enthusiast"

...

"The Facebook Mom"

...

"The venture Capitalist"

...

"The Legacy Media Reporter"

...

"The Business Owner"

...

"The Normie"

...

"The Ones Who Won’t"

Take the small-town Republican from Ohio who should be MAGA by every demographic marker—pickup truck, church every Sunday, straight GOP for twenty years. But her childhood best friend came out as trans, and suddenly the culture war had a face she loved. Now she’s at city council meetings defending the very people she once thoughtlessly condemned. The MAGA crowd calls her a traitor. She calls it friendship.

There are others in the feeds who will never go MAGA, no matter what. They’re not necessarily the most educated or the most politically engaged. They’re not defined by their demographics or their stated beliefs.

They’re the ones who have something the MAGA-susceptible lack: a genuine comfort with complexity and nuance, an ability to tolerate uncertainty, and a fundamental respect for other people’s humanity. They don’t need to believe they’re special or superior. They have the same insecurities others have, but they don’t blame others for them. They don’t need enemies to blame for their problems. They don’t need simple answers to complicated questions.

They’re the teacher who posts about her students’ achievements without making it about herself. They’re the small business owner who pays his workers well because he knows it’s right and actually better for business, not because he has to. They’re the veteran who talks about service without wrapping it in nationalism. They’re the parent who worries about their kids without blaming teachers for everything.

They’re the people who can say “I don’t know” without feeling diminished. They’re the ones who can admit they were wrong without feeling attacked. They’re the ones who can see others succeed without feeling threatened.

The Pattern

The pattern is clear once you know what to look for. MAGA appeals to people who need to feel special, who need enemies to blame, who need simple answers to complex problems. It attracts those who mistake confidence for competence, who confuse being loud with being right, who think that admitting uncertainty is weakness.

It’s not about education or geography or even politics. It’s about character. It’s about whether you can tolerate complexity, whether you can admit mistakes, whether you can see other people as fully human.

The scary thing about MAGA isn’t that it’s obviously evil—it’s that it’s appealing to people who think they’re good. It offers them a way to feel righteous about their resentments, patriotic about their prejudices, and principled about their selfishness.

But the good news is that character isn’t fixed. People can change. They can learn to tolerate uncertainty, to admit mistakes, to see others as human. They can develop the emotional and intellectual tools to resist fascist appeals.

The question is whether they will—and whether the rest of us will help them, or just watch them scroll deeper into the darkness.

The game continues. The stakes keep rising. And the feeds keep feeding us exactly what we want to hear."]]></description>

    <title>The Problem with My City Is That It’s a City - McSweeney’s Internet Tendency</title>
    <dc:date>2025-05-23T22:16:22+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-problem-with-my-city-is-that-its-a-city</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I’ve lived in this city for decades, but I’m noticing more and more problems. There’s crowding, congestion, changing people, tall buildings, and the biggest problem: This city is a literal city.

I love living in a city, but I hate dealing with other people. I shouldn’t be subject to the whims of my neighbors, something I constantly scream at them during city council meetings.
Dave Eggers silkscreen prints to benefit the new International Library of Youth Writing! Purchase your own unique piece of art and check back regularly for more.

You can’t walk down the street without seeing some new expensive building going up. It’s all I can think about until I’m safely ensconced in my million-dollar apartment, scornfully looking down at the construction.

I don’t recognize anyone in my neighborhood anymore! Why do the kids I used to know seem to grow taller, look older, and move away? I need every political candidate to clarify their position on the passage of linear time.

It wasn’t always like this. I moved to this city as a wide-eyed twenty-year-old, ready to take on the world with energetic abandon. Now, I’m no longer twenty years old. Something really has changed with this city.

A city used to mean something. These days, it seems the only thing that defines a city is a large concentration of people in a denser urban environment.
Ever-changing, always surprising. Subscribe to our National Magazine Award-winning McSweeney’s Quarterly today.

But a city doesn’t have to be made of skyscrapers and full of people. A city could be smaller, more intimate. A city could be a single two-story ranch with a detached garage and a suspicious homeowner glaring contemptuously from the living room blinds at children playing in the street. A city could be that paradise.

I’m no ideologue; I’m open to discussion on the right size of a city. Maybe it’s eight people, maybe nine, and if we annex a neighboring state or turn the Atlantic Ocean into a subdivision, then we can surely fit ten people… at most.

Growth is inevitable, and growth can be good! Let’s focus on consistent growth all the way up to two stories. We can even expand the idea of a city, and by expand, I mean twist and choke the idea of a city until it’s a suburb.

We can’t do it alone. We need bold leadership that courageously pushes our city to remain trapped in historical amber.
The greatest graduation gift is this gorgeous deluxe boxed set of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass. Shockingly affordable!

Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty I still love about living in a city, like having a single bagel delivered silently to my apartment door so I don’t have to interact with any of the millions of rich stories unfolding around me. But sometimes the delivery driver makes me meet him at my front door, and I have to, gulp, make eye contact. I didn’t realize I signed a lease in Gomorrah.

There are plenty of people who agree with me; my Nextdoor posts are blowing up with anonymous, rage- and typo-filled screeds of approval.

With hard work, imagination, and the immediate exodus of millions of people, this city can become the best thing I can imagine: not a city."]]></description>

"I’ve shared animator Nick Murray Willis’ videos before — he takes snippets of sound & dialogue from sports commentary & movies and creates context-shifted animations from them. For instance, in the two videos above with football (soccer) commentary, a commentator’s chant of “Messi, Messi, Messi” becomes a French street performer thanking the crowd (“merci, merci, merci”).

(Ok, I’ve caught myself attempting to explain humor, so I’m gonna wrap this up by urging you to watch the videos if you want.)"

Se explorará el poder del relato científico como la narrativa dominante en la actualidad, así como el papel de la memoria en la reconstrucción de la realidad familiar y social. 

En un contexto marcado por la inteligencia artificial, las redes sociales y los modelos generativos, se reflexionará sobre el papel y el futuro de las historias en una era de transformación tecnológica, invitando al público a repensar la creación literaria en el mundo contemporáneo.

    <title>Comedian John Mulaney roasts SF techies at Dreamforce</title>
    <dc:date>2024-09-25T16:59:44+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://sfstandard.com/2024/09/19/comedian-john-mulaney-brutally-roasts-sf-techies-and-ai-at-dreamforce/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["“Let me get this straight,” John Mulaney said. “You’re hosting a ‘future of AI’ event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?”

Everyone inside the auditorium at the Moscone Center groaned. Any notion that the award-winning comedian would play the corporate gig safe (and clean) were thrown out the window Thursday, when Mulaney, closing the Dreamforce festivities, started roasting his host, Salesforce, and the audience sitting right in front of him.

“You look like a group who looked at the self-checkout counters at CVS and thought, ‘This is the future,’” Mulaney said.

“If AI is truly smarter than us and tells us that [humans] should die, then I think we should die,” he said, looking out to the crowd from center stage. “So many of you feel imminently replaceable.”

He added, “Can AI sit there in a fleece vest? Can AI not go to events and spend all day at a bar?”


In a wide-ranging, 45-minute set, Mulaney did not hold back when it came to joking about the cartoonish conference, which aspired to be the “largest AI event in the world.”

“You’re an account executive at Top Low?” Mulaney asked an audience member, who clarified that she works at Tableau, a data visualization company. “You know in your goddamn bones that a bunch of you are working on products that are just OK, but you have to vamp and make up terms to make it sound more awesome than it is.”

“You’re a VP of customer success?” he asked another attendee. “Congratulations on your position that did not exist five years ago!”

Between anecdotes about his aging parents, his stint in rehab, and fatherhood, Mulaney worked the crowd, poking fun at tech workers and their buzzwords.

“What’s important here is that we’re looking for solutions,” he said sarcastically. “And in looking for solutions, what we’re really after is insights, which then lead to success. Now, start prepping the humans for robots.

“Some of the vaguest language ever devised has been used here in the last three days,” he continued. “The fact that there are 45,000 ‘trailblazers’ here couldn’t devalue the title any more.”

Since 2020, Mulaney has married actress Olivia Munn, had a son, and released a Netflix special called “Baby J,” detailing his struggles with drug addiction, and a limited series, “Everybody’s in LA.”

In addition to the Dreamforce set, Mulaney is headlining a show Thursday evening at the Golden Gate Theatre.

The comedian rounded out his Dreamforce appearance by thanking attendees “for the world you’re creating for my son … where he will never talk to an actual human again. Instead, a little cartoon Einstein will pop up and give him a sort of good answer and probably refer him to another chatbot.”

Mulaney then shared an anecdote about how he and his son, who is nearly 3, like to play baseball in their front yard.

“We’re just two guys hitting Wiffle balls badly and yelling ‘Good job’ at each other,” he said. “It’s sort of the same energy here at Dreamforce.”"]]></description>

    <title>Reductress » Should Employees Be Paid? Why People Think It’s Time</title>
    <dc:date>2024-06-04T23:32:53+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In a recent salary-focused poll conducted by researchers at The University of Wisconsin–Madison, 75% of respondents indicated that, yes, they think employees should be paid.

While a majority of respondents were pro paying employees, the poll was still met with mixed reactions, with some individuals stating, “Yes, of course people should be paid for their work, why are you even asking this?” and a select few saying things like, “People should see work as a learning opportunity, and not be so greedy about things like ‘an income.’”

“I know this is a hot-button topic at the moment, but I think people should definitely make money for doing work,” said one respondent, Carrie D. “This opinion has gotten me flack from some members of my family, but I stand by it. People should definitely make a few dollars a day, at least. Not more than 15, though.”

However, others feel the concept of “getting compensated for your labor” is a dangerous gateway right that could lead to workers wanting other things like “paid time off” or “company sponsored health insurance” or “a place to live.”

“Socialists have taken it too far this time,” one respondent, Jeff B., wrote in. “Wage theft is the constitutional right of every billionaire CEO. Workers requesting a ‘living wage’ is a threat to the American way of life and super scary for those of us who may or may not make our money off the backs of exploited individuals. What’s next? Poor people being able to lead happy and fulfilling lives? I don’t think so.”

Researchers were unable to confirm whether or not this respondent was, in fact, Jeff Bezos, but Dr. Marianna Fuentes, the Lead Researcher on the study, gave her personal opinion, stating, “Yeah, it was 100% him.”

The study garnered some criticism for not offering ample solutions to solve the budding “should people have money or no?” question in America, with Fuentes apologizing for the lack of useful data this poll produced. She claimed her team would’ve been able to make it more informative had they actually been paid for their time and effort and not simply offered “university credit.”

“I graduated college 20 years ago,” Fuentes added. “I don’t need college credit, especially not credit that goes toward ‘Introduction to Beekeeping’ which is, for some reason, all they’re offering us. I’m in so much debt.”"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“The entire measure of someone's commitment is how much they post about their commitment.”

"1) Do not read the whole original post or what it links to, which will dilute the purity of your response and reduce your chances of rebuking the poster for not mentioning anything they might’ve mentioned/written a book on/devoted their life to. Listening/reading delays your reaction time, and as with other sports, speed is of the essence. 

2) All of the O.P.’s feelings, experiences, interpretations, and values should be in the first sentence anyway. Only fascists hide those things in militarized outposts throughout the terrain of the piece. Which are basically ambushes. Which is violent and elitist.

3) If O.P. points out that your critique is baseless/ wrong/ high on its own fumes, whataboutism is your friend here. Just levy another charge, however unrelated. After all, any statement can be condemned for not including all other statements, aka O.P.’s concern about saving the whales is only a sign of his/her/their indifference about some other issue or cetacean or mammal or cause. There is always something.  

4) That is, anything not declared in the post is something O.P. does not care about/is complicit with. Every expression of concern is in fact an expression of unconcern about something else; each of them merits a rebuke and you have been appointed (by yourself, but nevermind) to deliver it. Everyone but you is indifferent to the plight of the greater sage grouse and needs to be reminded of it.

5) Also always good to rope in some group you have no contact with to say you stand with as in “I stand with penguins in condemning the ice in your drink.”

6) And here is your chance to school the O.P. on some subject they know more about than you! Getting it wrong is a great way to engage them more deeply.

7) If you’re a man and that O.P. is a woman, her facts are feelings and your feelings are facts, and those forty-seven increasingly lengthy responses you fired off were clearly a rational reaction. If she reacted negatively to them, do not forget to rebuke her for being emotional. 

8) Remember, the word privilege can be used randomly. People who are breathing are unfairly privileged over people who died in the year 1816, who you also speak for. How dare they love geese, who are privileged above poor wingless platypuses! 

9) Which is why the person who said, or rather typed, offhandedly  “people should bike more” really means all people need to bike everywhere under all circumstances and is callously indifferent to people who: live in Siberia and can’t bike through -40 blizzards; are physically unable to cycle; can’t afford bikes; and let us not forget those who have bicycle-related trauma. Which is why anyone who could say “people should bike more” is a fascist who needs crushing. 

10) Also you have the right to check their papers, as in to demand they prove to you their commitments and beliefs, and their unwillingness to do so on demand is a sign of culpability too. Have they properly condemned the recent something or other? It is not your job to find proof; it is this complete stranger’s obligation to offer it up, and there is no reason they would not if they were not guilty as charged. Condemn them for insufficient condemnation issuance.

11) Hypocrisy: this one is a biggie. I have it on good authority that Greta Thunberg is against carbon dioxide emissions and yet emits carbon dioxide with every exhale. People who don’t like tech corporations are good targets for this too; they should build their movements through communicating by cuneiform tablet on clay harvested from local mudbanks; public transit advocates should have never traveled by car. Anyone who doesn’t like some aspect of life on earth they haven’t completely disassociated with is begging for your gotcha moment. And it will never have occurred to Greta that she breathes or to the transit advocate that their mom drove them places.

12) Another important demand is that they offer proof of any facts in their utterances—that Calvin Coolidge was a president, that koala bears are marsupials, that Kool and the Gang sang “Celebration.”  This is particularly spicy with complete strangers.

P.S. You do not have to accept the proof. See above.

13) Finally if the post is about something O.P. cares about, remember that you’ve cared about it longer, deeper, harder than they have, and that even someone’s care can be a basis for your triumph, along with condemning them for all those other things they evidently do not care about. 

14) Nothing exists but social media. No one does anything offline. So the entire measure of someone’s commitment is how much they post about their commitment. Never mind if the noble cause is their day job, the thing they donate to extensively, the volunteer work they do; only the racket made online matters. Let the beginning and the end of thy commitment be the noise you make about that commitment (and others’ lack of commitment), and make it loud. 

15) While we’re at it, everyone ever born should hold the values of this very minute, and anyone who did not because, say, they were late Victorians or early medieval peasants should die, except in their case they already did, but still. 

P.S. Anyone who quotes William Shakespeare supports everything that was happening in 1594.

16) Joy is callous. All evidence of it is a reminder that someone somewhere is suffering, which many someones always are, so joy should be withdrawn, and anyway it’s neoliberal. There can be no good things until there are no bad things at all, which is why good things are bad.

17) Words are elitist, so I’ll stop here. 

Dedicated to the indefatigable souls who instruct me in these principles every day."

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by Romaric André, the Founder of Seconde/Seconde. To start their second attempt at the conversation due to technical issues, the two jump into why Romaric isn’t too fond of being considered the “King of Collaborations,” and he gives us the backstory on how Seconde/Seconde came to be what it is today. Romaric started by swapping the hands on vintage and luxury timepieces in order to add his own unique vision in creating art with something that already exists. Ariel asks about his mindset when it comes to design and what his education and experience with art and design were before the creation of Seconde/Seconde. The two discuss how Romaric handles having to decide between different types of deals and promotions to compete with other brands, and how he transitioned from working on vintage watches to being commissioned for designs from major brands. Listen below or on the player of your choice."]]></description>

    <title>Talking with Guillaume Laidet and Romaric André about the Vulcain Cricket Tradition &quot;Vulcain Salute&quot; - YouTube</title>
    <dc:date>2023-01-26T18:21:02+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5CLCipOPXI</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Our second collaboration with Guillaume Laidet, celebrated revivalist of forgotten brands Nivada Grenchen, Excelsior Park and Vulcain, comes in the form of the Vulcain Cricket, the first alarm wristwatch to garner widespread acclaim. Since our last collaboration on the fully blacked-out Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster "No Barracuda", we've gone a step further with our tongue-in-cheek approach and brought on artist Romaric André, also known as Seconde/Seconde/, to add a touch of his signature wit. Romaric was inspired to play on the brand's name which sounds like Vulcan, an extraterrestrial species from the hit TV-series from the 1960s, Star Trek. The famous Vulcan salute replaces the running seconds hand and comes in the four bright colors of Starfleet's uniforms.  

Wei caught up with Guillaume and Romaric to find out about their individual journeys into the world of watches and how they ended up working together on various prior projects. The inspiration behind our latest collaboration may be lighthearted but it bestows a heartfelt wish upon every person who wears one, to live long & prosper!

The Vulcain x Seconde Seconde x Revolution Cricket Tradition "Vulcain Salute" comes in two sizes, 36mm with the yellow and green "Vulcain salute" on top of gold-toned applied hour indexes and hands, and 39mm with the red and blue "Vulcain Salute" with polished silver hour indexes and hands. Each colorway will be available in 25 numbered pieces and priced at CHF 3,800 for the 36mm model and CHF 4,100 for the 39mm model."

When strangers hear I was a teacher, they assume that I'm "qualified" to teach my kids the curriculum. But when unschooling, you don't use a curriculum, but rather focus on learning through life. As an unschooling dad, I'm simply a facilitator to expose my kids to as many experiences as possible to spark their curiosity. But sometimes it's just easier to let the people think what they want!"]]></description>

    <title>Le Régulateur Louis Erard x seconde/seconde/ - Watch I Love</title>
    <dc:date>2021-12-02T16:21:37+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://watchilove.com/le-regulateur-louis-erard-x-seconde-seconde</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Once again, Louis Erard is putting its iconic regulator to the test of free collaboration with an independent creator. And this time, a taboo has been lifted in the world of fine watchmaking: the internet takes its place at the heart of the mechanism, with the dreaded “404 Error” reinterpreted as a minute hand.

This new collaboration will come as no surprise to those already familiar with seconde/seconde/, aka Romaric André, and his modus operandi: Arsène Lupin-style appropriation of vintage watches for the Banksy generation. It will also be no surprise to those who have followed the recent shift in Louis Erard watches towards a mechanical triptych, artistic crafts and collaborations, the first of which are already a milestone — Alain Silberstein, Vianney Halter, atelier oï — with more to come.

For those climbing on the bandwagon, rest assured that no one will be left waiting on the platform — except, perhaps, for latecomers. The watch comes in a limited edition of 178 pieces: a symbolic number signifying that we are always stronger together. Louis Erard puts its iconic regulator back into play and gives carte blanche to the rising star of ultimate customisation, with independent Paris-based creator, seconde/seconde/.

seconde/seconde/ has made watch hands his playground and trademark, combining diversion, iconoclasm and a mix of styles. Clash of contrasts between deliberately ludicrous patterns and scrupulous execution at a fine watchmaking standard. The creator shamelessly draws from contemporary culture, the internet, the streets and video games. He extracts pop symbols, which he sets on dials like little bombs, exploding the meaning of every watch he lays his hands on.

His interventions shock, shake up and challenge. They’ll never leave you indifferent, because every intervention has a meaning behind it. Funny, clever and mischievous, his designs command attention and serve as a reminder that watches are not only functional. They must still tell the time, of course, and in the most beautiful way possible — Louis Erard is on-hand to make sure of that — but watches are also a marker of identity, an object that looks at us.

And Louis Erard has the courage to say so: human beings wouldn’t be complete without a good dose of humour and self-mockery. From Louis Erard to Louis Error. Le Régulateur, le régule à tort (wrongly regulates). Quelle erreur est-il? (What error is it?). Find the Error. 404 Error: just like faulty addressing in computing, there’s an error in the fitting — this hour does not exist. 404 Error: except that this hand returns to cross the dial with a blue line each time the minute strikes quarter to the hour. One small change, one big difference.

And the price? Two thousand… and 404 Swiss francs, of course."]]></description>

and elsewhere]

"Pour ce deuxième épisode de “Early Stage”, je reçois Romaric André, fondateur de Seconde Seconde. Cette force tranquille, prend le temps de me parler… du temps justement. Après tout, quoi de plus logique pour un horloger?

Je remercie Hiscox, pour son soutien sur cette série d’épisodes. Si vous n’avez pas encore souscrit à une assurance Responsabilité Civile Professionnelle (la fameuse “RCPro”), cliquez ici pour obtenir un devis gratuit en moins de 5 minutes !  -> et ça prouve à Hiscox que c’était une bonne idée de me faire confiance

“Quand tu achètes une montre vintage, c’est une histoire que tu t’offres. Ça, il faut le respecter”

Clairement, si on devait résumer le parcours de Romaric en une phrase, ça serait “il faut prendre le temps de laisser faire le temps”. Avec lui, pas question de produire pour produire, tout est dans le détail. Patience et minutie sont ses maîtres mots. Alors, si la rapidité est ce que vous recherchez, on vous laisse passer votre chemin!

Pourtant, cette recherche du détail est aussi un problème. Romaric André, raconte sans filtre, sans édulcorer ou se chercher d’excuses, la faillite de sa première entreprise, Celsius, le redressement judiciaire qui s'ensuit et son projet de livraison de plat de chefs étoilés …  où il se fait doubler.

“Ça a été une période compliquée mais mes salariés étaient protégés, il n’y avait que moi. Alors j’ai décidé de rebondir et d’en faire une expérience positive”.

Mais n’allez pas croire que cela suffirait à le décourager. Au contraire ! Romaric prend la décision de changer de vie, de quitter les entreprises véloces où tout va toujours plus vite, où tout s’enchaîne pour se consacrer à sa passion : les montres vintages avec un léger twist, un grain de folie qu’il porte fièrement : une aiguille pop ! Une aiguille falcon millenium sur une zenith des années 50, une autre peace and love sur la montre officielle de la Wehrmacht … Si l’aiguille est modifiée, c’est pour raconter une histoire qui a du sens. Cette histoire, il nous la raconte dans cet épisode de #Earlystagegdiy.

On le sait bien, quand on crée son entreprise, tout s’efface un peu. On y met tout ce qu’on a, son coeur, ses tripes, son énergie. On garde le focus sur notre produit et nos clients. Alors, dans ce tourbillon, l’assurance c’est un peu un détail. Pourtant, ça peut rapidement nous coûter notre bébé.  L’idée avec Hiscox est d’avoir un devis en ligne en quelques minutes pour ce qu’on appelle la « RC Pro », la responsabilité civile professionnelle. Pour demander un devis gratuit, c’est juste ici."]]></description>

    <title>H. Moser &amp; Cie. and Minimalist Humour with Seconde/Seconde/ | SJX Watches</title>
    <dc:date>2021-11-05T20:28:35+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://watchesbysjx.com/2021/04/h-moser-endeavour-centre-seconds-x-seconde-seconde.html</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Having become synonymous with stunningly minimalist fume dials and a peculiar sense of humour, H. Moser & Cie. now combines both in the new Endeavour Centre Seconds X Seconde/Seconde/.

A limited-edition collaboration with Parisian artist Romaric Andre, who specialises in modifying watches as Seconde/Seconde/, the new watch reimagines the brand’s signature time-only watch by replacing the traditional hour hand with a pixellated eraser – a tongue-in-cheek reference to Moser’s “concept” dials that forgo the brand’s logo.

Initial thoughts

When I first saw the press release for the new watch, I did a double take – was it an April Fool’s gag? The watch is funny and out there, and something only Moser could pull off successfully.

Being family-owned – with young, open-minded leaders – Moser can be adventurous than its peers. The Seconde/Seconde/ collaboration is Moser doing what it does well. In fact, Moser’s strength is obvious despite the “erased” logo – the watch is instantly recognisable as a Moser.

I’ve always liked Moser’s whimsical offerings, such as the Apple Watch-esque Swiss Alps Final Upgrade, and now the Endeavour Centre Seconds X Seconde/Seconde/. These watches have an undeniable fun factor rarely seen in haute horlogerie, which endows the watch with a playful charm. It’s an atypical watch that is typical of the brand.

At US$21,900, it’s priced identically to the standard Endeavour Centre Seconds in gold; this, however, has a steel case. That diminishes its value proposition somewhat, though steel is still a fashionable material for limited editions, which will make it more alluring for some collectors.

An eraser hand

With both sharing “a taste for the unexpected”, H. Moser & Cie. and Seconde/Seconde/ are a natural fit. Known for modifying vintage timepieces by installing quirky, cartoonish hands, Mr Andre has done the same here: the traditional hour hand is now a pink-and-purple eraser.

“A metaphor for removal and for minimalism” according to Mr Andre, the new hour hand is a reference to clean dial, something the brand debuted for its concept watches in 2015. It is also symbolic of “constant striving effort” says Mr Andre, as one often has to erase past attempts in creative endeavours, in say, designing a new watch, before arriving at the final work.

Each watch will be accompanied by a numbered artwork by Seconde/Seconde/ with “Less is more” written by hand on its lower corner, a nod to Moser’s watchmaking.

Beneath the hood beats the in-house cal. HMC 200. The calibre utilises a proprietary Straumann hairspring manufactured by the brand’s sister company, Precision Engineering, and boasts a handy three days of power reserve.

In addition, the rotor is 18k solid gold, with the movement featuring Moser’s signature alternating wide and narrow Geneva stripes, as well as the trademark V-shaped balance bridge."]]></description>

"The highlights of many art and design fairs are to be seen on the fringes, where you’ll find the cool-guard of fresh thinkers and rule breakers. Watch fairs are no different.

I met Romaric André on the third floor of the Hotel Hyperion in Basel, Switzerland, at the “Time Lounge”, a super-energised consulting room shared by younger independents presenting velvet-clad trays with their latest models to equally excited press and potential customers. The young entrepreneur describes himself as a Parisian “with a slightly disrespectful French flare” and presented his “collection” in low-tech cardboard packaging more fitting a gallery store.

“My art is to rejuvenate vintage watches,” the keen watch collector says of his new venture Seconde/Seconde/. “I’m having fun with vintage timepieces, doing what you are not supposed to do - changing some elements of the watches. Usually, collectors give me a bizarre look.”

WATCHES & JEWELLERY2 years ago
While big brands offer interchangeable straps, dial options and maybe some engraving in answer to consumer demand for differentiation, this thirtysomething’s approach to customisation is going to appeal more to younger audiences who’ve most notably driven huge trade in the secondary market and interest in vintage watches.   

His background? In 2009, he launched the $250 000 Celsius X VI II LeDIX Tourbillon Mobile Phone with Richard Mille, and other watch and telecoms luminaries, on the board of directors. The company only sold about a dozen of the phones, so the clamshell was soon closed for good.

“It was a really complex challenge. The Celsius was new, innovative and crazy … merging electronics and micro mechanics. Each time you opened and closed the phone, you wound the movement.”

The extreme pricing at the launch, which coincided with the end of the financial crisis, and perceived system obsolescence, are probably to blame for its demise. However, with our smartphone obsession, combined with the growing interest in mechanical watches, I can’t help but think the concept was visionary and way ahead of its time. Maybe if it recharged the phone’s battery, it would have been more useful?  

André insists this time things are going to be much simpler. With his small team of watchmakers and friendly French artisans he is giving “really simple but extremely reliable vintage watches” a quirky, artful makeover. But “nothing after the 80s and nothing bigger than 37mm”, he says.

“Take, for example, the old Omega calibre from the 1960s; they are so strong and beautiful to observe. The same for the 1520 Calibre from Rolex, also from that period. Strong, classic, simple watches, which are authenticated and serviced before I put a twist on them.”

From the tone and retro design of the website, with its Dymo embossed labels, pegboard notes in typewriter font – “In short, we honor old watches, decorated for distinguished badassery” – and Lego characters, it’s clear that the narrative is serious, good fun.

“I’m keeping everything French, except the watches, because we have the best taste. For everything,” he says half-jokingly. Working with the last French hand manufacturer Gilles Buliard at family-owned La Pratique, in Morteau, André replaces the seconds hand of a vintage Seamaster with a tiny red beanie – a Jacques Cousteau reference –and lists it as “The real master of the sea” (batch 04). A Rolex Air-King is called “The real king of the air” (batch 1), and gets a cloud-shaped hand “which is about nature and not the obsession with speed” because he wants to be “more poetic”.

“It all started with a conversation with friends who also like vintage watches but are always pushing me to do something with military watches. I don’t like military pieces because the association is with something so dark. So, I took the ‘darkest’ watch I could find, a Zenith issued to the German army in the 1940s, put a peace sign on it and called it ‘Infinite expiation’ (batch 09).”  

Traditionalists, fear not - the original hands are removed and carefully stored in small glass tubes to form part of each customer’s presentation box, which also includes two new leather straps made in the French Jura region. Patina is also respected, like the tiny rust speckles on the 1960s Omega Constellation “A Space Odyssey” (batch 10) and, refreshingly, there are no logos of the artist, just 2-D, vector-style “pop culture images that are a bit cocky”.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Memovox from the 1970s is one of my favorites. The original automatic alarm watch was intended for busy people. Its chiming reminder has been interpreted by André as a provocative “Bzzzzzzzz” (batch 03) with a tiny “busy bee” spinning at its centrepoint, making it even more “charming” to me than the original.

The official launch of Seconde/Seconde/ is the end of April but the website is fully interactive, with a selection of watches already on view, just not for sale yet. For more information and pricing visit Seconde/Seconde/."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["seconde/seconde/ has carved out a niche of satirical vintage watch mods."

"H Moser & Cie, a brand which started removing its branding from watches in 2015, has called in satirical Parisian watch mod brand, seconde/seconde/, to take things further.

Moser turned debranding into a strategy, letting its case silhouettes and brightly colored smoked dials speak for themselves.

Now Moser has handed the concept over to Romaric Andre, whose second/seconde/ brand modifies vintage watches with newly created hands – made by France’s last surviving hand manufacturer – which pass comment on the specific watch brand or model.

For this H Moser & Cie Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept X seconde/seconde/, a limited edition run of 20 watches, Andre has replaced the watch’s hour hand with a brightly colored pixelated eraser.

“The ‘hand swap’ – this principle designed to switch one or more hands on an existing watch – has become my signature,” said Andre. “For me, it is driven by a latent disrespect impulse. I want to upset the balance. Create disharmony. This dissonance is my way of disorienting the product, deconstructing it. So that I can then reconstruct it. To reveal an unknown facet or show another perspective. My perspective. The eraser, I see it as a banal everyday object which is taking power over the prestigious exceptional object.”

The concept model is based on the 40mm stainless steel Endeavour Centre Seconds model with Moser’s Funky Blue dial and its 3Hz HMC 200 automatic in-house movement with three days power reserve.

The Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept X seconde/seconde/ is available now via H Moser & Cie, priced CHF 19,900 ($21,040 USD).

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“The work of Seconde/Seconde/ is the most entertaining (and transgressive) take on vintage watches we’ve seen in years”

““Talking about it sounds weird,” admits Seconde/Seconde/ founder Romaric André, referring to his first, ill-fated business venture. After graduating from business school in 2005, the Parisian partnered with a childhood friend and established Celsius X VI II, a brand that made an ultra high-end mobile phone with an integrated tourbillon. The hinge of the clamshell phone would wind the mechanism each time it was opened or closed.

Ridiculous as it may sound, the project attracted venture capital funding, had Richard Mille on the board and H Moser boss Edouard Meylan as co-CEO. “Sometimes I like to consider this project like a baby Richard Mille,” André reflects. “Because Mille was showing to people that you don’t need 100 years of history to approach the high-end mechanical market.”

Even in the heady pre-crash days of the Noughties, an asking price of €250,000 per phone proved excessive, and the business eventually folded in 2015. But it left André with a network of suppliers in the watch industry, and an evident passion for fusing horology and technology in the most unpredictable ways. “I got really hooked on this business, with all of the workshops in the Jura, I liked this part.”

For the next two years, André went on to work with start-ups in Paris, though watches were never far from his thoughts. “I was still crazy about watches. I like vintage watches; I like simple, reliable, affordable watches. I like the patina.”

The genesis for Seconde/Seconde/ came when André was looking at the rich Champagne dial of a vintage Chronographe Suisse watch on his computer. “I drew a white line on it and when I saw the contrast between the Champagne dial and the pure white I was like, ‘Wow, that’s cool!’ But afterwards I realised just a colour was not enough; just repainting hands was not strong enough. What would be the message? I didn’t want to be a T-shirt with a message on it, I wanted to be a little bit more subtle than that. So I had to behave not like a designer just putting flashy colours on old vintage stuff, I had to use my own knowledge of vintage.”

André refined the concept further in search of missing “relevance”. His first progress was realising he could be disruptive with vintage watches as long as he was respectful. He decided to remove and replace a single hand but supply the original part in a glass vial alongside the watch. “I’m not suggesting my clients put back the original hand but they would be able to do so one day. I felt at this point I was being really respectful in not binning the nature of the watch but totally creating a new product. I’d found a balance for the concept.”

Restricting his source material to watches produced before 1990 and no larger than 37mm in diameter, André then decided to make a tongue-in-cheek cryptic statement with each piece, usually rooted in pop culture, through the pairing of the replacement hand and the watch itself. For example, Batch 003 is based on a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Memovox alarm watch with a distinctly mechanical sound, so André replaced its second hand with the image of a bee.

This seam of quirky humour is crucial to the whole enterprise; laying a finger on vintage watches is a sensitive area at the best of times, let alone replacing the second hand of a Patek Philippe Calatrava with a Nineties-style Windows pointer icon. André’s creations tread a fine line, but are always built with quality and respect in mind; what looks like a Photoshopped joke is in fact a sensitive, loving tribute delivered with levity and a knowing humour not often encountered in the collector world.

“I want my stuff to be considered by people who know about vintage watches,” he rails. “I don’t want to be too easy to understand. When people ask me the meaning I don’t usually tell them. It’s your problem, the why; you’d lose all the magic. I prefer to give clues, to be elusive, cryptic. Sometimes I just want to be funny. I want to play the art card, I like to be ironic. I put a ‘pause’ symbol on an Omega Chronostop replacing the chronograph hand: it’s to tell you to stop rushing, live your life. But who am I tell you to stop rushing — I’m not a life coach.”

By replacing second and chronograph hands with graphics, illustrations and logos, he is happy to remove functionality in favour of creativity. To deliver these miniature works of art, André turned to France’s last surviving hand manufacturer, La Pratique in Morteau, a stone’s throw from Le Locle on the other side of the French/Swiss border.

“I’m not the first guy to have an idea — when they see you coming they are not judging the idea but whether you are serious about it. Since I’ve been doing this I’ve received enquiries about custom orders, so I guess [La Pratique] will have heard everything in the last 30 years and they have to separate out all these personal initiatives from real business. But once we’d met a few times I guess they realised I was serious,” he says.

But any industrialised supplier would be wary of creating such elaborate designs (despite their graphic nature the new hands must be manufactured using the same exacting tolerances as any other hand before being painted and varnished) in such small volumes.

André has certainly taken an expensive path when it comes to creating the hands, as the tooling costs to produce a single design remain the same whether the order is 10 or 10,000. While the watches he sells are all technically unique — as no vintage watch will have aged the same way — they are “produced” in small batches of differing sizes depending on how many examples of a specific watch he can source, usually between three and 12 pieces. André orders 20 pieces of each hand design which allows for fitting to finished watches plus spares. Each watch is authenticated and fully serviced and will be delivered with a custom-designed strap produced by Bouveret in Besançon.

News of the venture was sent out ahead of Baselworld and meetings at the show set as a barometer to gauge reaction, which in general has been positive especially on Instagram, with the brand having already taken orders through the social media channel. “It’s so powerful,” says André. “You’ve got the product and people are reacting immediately. It’s crazy.”

The entire proposition of Seconde/Seconde/ is so polished and stylishly realised that while it’s obvious André has learned innumerable lessons since the days of Celsius X VI II he has, in other ways, stuck to his guns. “I like to think a little differently. Is it smart to put a mechanical device on a digital mobile phone? Maybe, maybe not, but you don’t know, so let’s find out! I’m doing the same now. Is it relevant to play with vintage? People buy vintage watches because they are vintage, so why would you put a flashy yellow hand on it? But to me it makes sense because it creates a contrast on the dial, a war between two different time periods.””]]></description>

    <title>【F】 Hands On With The Nivada Grenchen Jellyfish Depthmaster</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“The daring French artisan keeps the serious watch world entertained

Romaric’s latest collaboration with Nivada Grenchen only confirms that we can hardly ever get bored with his creations. Meet a blue queen of the oceans, the Nivada Grenchen × Seconde/Seconde Jellyfish Depthmaster.

It has been almost two years since I got to know Romaric André. I instantly fell in love with his strictly limited runs of daringly creative and carefully manufactured watch hands he installs in vintage classics. We already had the chance to review one of them, the Omega Seamaster 2759-7SC 2761 from 1956 with a replaced second hand in the shape and color of the Cousteau cap.

From vintage to modern

I was sure it would only be a matter of time before Romaric and his Seconde/Seconde became a go-to in the watchmaking world. It was inevitable that watch brands would reach out to create some exciting collaborations. It all started late last year with the MassenaLab “Big Eye” Uni-Racer and was followed with H. Moser & Cie “Less is Moser”. Today we are looking at his 3rd collaboration project with Nivada Grenchen, and spoiler alert, there will be another two collaborations coming before the end of the year.

Seconde/seconde is as daring as the colors on its hands made by the last surviving manufacturer in French Jura. Their knowledge goes back to 1907 and their precision calculates to +/-3 microns. When Romaric first approached them with his idea, they might have thought he went crazy. But it seems it worked out for both and they have developed a nice partnership since. To see Romaric’s latest ideas on made-up watch+hands combos, I highly recommend you to follow seconde/seconde on Instagram. Not everything goes to production, but the seconde/seconde feed is a textbook example of originality and craft.

Nivada Grenchen meets Romaric

Do we need to introduce Nivada? I bet you already know their vintage stars such as the Chronomaster, Travelmaster, or Datomaster. And you already might know about last year’s rebirth story of Nivada and CSAD. Since Balazs has looked deeper into other Nivada revivals such as the Antarctic Spider or the legendary Pac-Man or Baby-Panerai Nivada Grenchcen Depthmaster. And it is the last mentioned juicy orange-lumed Depthmaster that got the special opportunity to be taken into custody by Romaric’s seconde/seconde fantasy.

Guillaume Laidet from Nivada is French too and he naturally exchanged some messages over Instagram with Romaric. Guillaume’s question was: “what would you think about that Depthmaster?” And it was just enough to get Romaric’s creative mind rolling. When I asked how many designs there were to choose from, Romaric instantly shot me down. “I have worked and come up with one design only. The final design.”

Jelly of the year

Well, in a very Romaric-like fashion, he chose what many haven’t opted for before. A jellyfish. I guess a seahorse or a turtle is more photogenic and appealing than the gelatinously clumsy ghost of the ocean. And that’s another link between Pac-Man and his escape from the ghosts chasing him since the 1980s. “I liked the fact that jellyfish are not marketed enough, they have never been used as emblems when it comes to divers watches. I can’t understand why…”, Romaric André explains the story behind his eye-popping jellyfish spinning in the new Depthmaster.

How does a jellyfish change the watch?

I will not take much time in introducing the Depthmaster or its specs — which include an automatic helium escape valve — as Balazs already did so a few months ago. I will rather focus on how seconde/seconde upgrades or downgrades the iconic Pac-Man. If I compare it to the previous two seconde/seconde collabs, I see this one as the best one. H. Moser & Cie. came up with a brilliant idea, but I found the final rubber-hand design a bit cumbersome and a bit hard to read. The Massena Uni-Racer was much better in terms of execution, but the idea was a bit too straightforward for my taste. It’s the Jellyfish Nivada Depthmaster that shows the best from seconde/seconde in my opinion. Why is that?

They found each other

You can put a funky pixelated whatever-shaped hand on any sports or dress watch. The bigger contrast in the style of watch and hand, the bigger the effect should be. Well, at least that’s what I thought, but I think the H. Moser collab does not confirm this hypothesis. When I saw the big-headed and big-eyed jellyfish escaping from the predatory indexes caged in the charismatic Deptmhaster watch case, I told myself that they were born for each other.

The jellyfish has that alarming look that only victims looking over their shoulders have when chased by the predator.

The square Jellyfish Depthmaster case bloats under the pressure to keep all the creatures inside. Its oval curves make you feel it will explode any second. Romaric added one particular detail that helps to build the Pac-Man story. Given the fact that the Jellyfish is designed in a simplified pixel art style, it’s astonishing how much character it has. The jellyfish has that alarming look that only victims looking over their shoulders have when chased by the predator. The three thin tendrils even look like they’re about to start running at times.

Was it a challenge to make it a jellyfish?

At some point, I asked myself, how safe it actually is to have a seconds hand like that fitted in your watch. “When you work on the second hand, you have to be vigilant about the specs of your design, weight, and right balance,” Romaric says. But he does it every day to a number of watches. And all his previous creations are running, so I guess you are safe in his waters. Nivada and seconde/seconde created a set of five colors, each available in a surprisingly low supply of just ten pieces. No wonder then that the €1,085 price tag made them all vanish seconds after the listing. The last batch should come alive with our friends from Hodinkee soon, so sharpen your eyes and pray to get lucky.

Shotgun notes

It wears like a charm. And though it may look tiny on the desk, it’s pretty present on the wrist. This is due to its water-resistant armor, ready to take it down to 1000m. Twenty points out of ten for the buckle design, and the same score goes for the thin bezel, its legibility, construction, and easy operation. Eight out of ten points for the soft vulcanized rubber strap that I struggled to get used to — it was either too tight or too loose.

Final thoughts

I spent two weeks with the Nivada Grenchen Jellyfish Depthmaster + seconde/seconde and it was quite pleasant indeed. Everything from the packaging to the wearing experience. I hate Hummer-sized watches, so this “Baby-Panerai” Pac-Man is just about right if you prefer a modestly-sized dive watch. The decent case specs allow it to be worn in the office as well unless you are under a black-tie curse. The case back could have featured something extra, but in the end, it’s a tool watch. If you are one of the fifty who managed to grab one, you definitely made one of the top investments of 2021.”]]></description>
