Don: “With you or without you, I’m moving on. And I don’t know if I can do it alone. Will you help me?”
Peggy: “What if I say no? You’ll never speak to me again.”
Don: “No. I will spend the rest of my life trying to hire you.”
This truly is full circle.

Worth clicking through, not least because they go beyond album art. For example: “The Scream.”
Awesome.

Porn star “Mr. Marcus” • Discussing his 2001 adult video shoot on the floor of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum football field, where the USC Trojans play football and two Olympics were played (among other things). Officials are unaware of how the production company, Anabolic Video, managed to get approved for the shoot, which featured 40 minutes of explicit scenes under the lights of the same stadium where Pope John Paul II once held mass. Yikes. (via shortformblog)

Mad Men & The New Sincerity & The New Aesthetic.
MEAGAN: “Daddy, I’m glad you came.”
EMILE: “Then why do you look so sad?”
MEAGAN: “I’m not, I’m just tired. It’s been a busy week.”
EMILE: “Yes, you have big big success.”
MEAGAN: “don’t make fun papa, i know you don’t approve”
EMILE: “Is this your passion?”
MEAGAN: [IN FRENCH] “Why are you speaking in English?”
EMILE: “Because you have changed. I always thought you were very single minded about your dreams and that that would help you through life. But now I see you skipped the struggle and went right to the end.”
MEAGAN: “it’s not the end, it’s the beginning.”
EMILE: “This apartment. This wealth that someone handed to you. This is what Karl Marx was talking about. And it’s not because someone else deserved it. It is because it is bad for your soul.”
MEAGAN: “Don’t beat me with your politics because you hate that I love Don.”
EMILE: “No. I hate that you gave up. Don’t let your love for this man stop you from doing what you wanted to do.”
MEAGAN: [IN FRENCH] “Not tonight, Papa”.
EMILE: [IN FRENCH] “Okay, darling. Not tonight.”

THIS. THIS. THIS.
In a single exchange, Mad Men was able to sum up one of the main conditions of our (21st century) contemporary culture. I don’t even need to add anything else.
