The joke, if you can't tell from the title, is that Tingle's work is notoriously mystifying, verging somewhere between absurdist surrealism and stream-of-consciousness badfic; it's anthropomorphic porn as if written by someone with disjointed, half-formed thoughts and limited powers of expression.

Published in 1943, when she was 23, the partly-autobiographical stream-of-consciousness novel is a fractured portrait of the upper-middle-class Joana, cutting between her present life and her childhood, as she tries to grasp what it is to be a woman in a restrictive society.

Or at least, a very rich, very Quebecois version of us when it's the end of the night, there are only three people left at the party, and everyone is rolling around on the ground, too exhausted to be socially performative, milk-drunk happy in their purest, goofiest most-stream-of-consciousness form.

From her early beginnings in the mega clubs of Tokyo to her trademark stream-of-consciousness work here in the U.S, Martin's signature black and white drawings are an inquiry into the role of the artist and the viewer, where a work of art is more than an object of admiration disconnected from its inception.

Created by dancers and choreographers Lily Baldwin (who was our guide to the Women of Cinefamily Weekend film festival) and Saschka Unseld, Through You begins—much like Mark Danielewski's experimental novel Only Revolutions—in the two main characters' teenage years, and follows them in a stream-of-consciousness style through time, space, and memory.

It's less than two minutes of pure anxiety, channeled through a dominant lead guitar part, an unnervingly loose bass line, and stream-of-consciousness lyrics that alternate between the cryptic ("don't look at the carpet / I drew something awful on it") and the brutally straightforward ("you're such a wonderful person / but you got problems").

Yet Trump once again brought out his rambling, stream-of-consciousness theory that Democrats had worked to conceal the real culprit, focusing specifically on the issue of a supposed DNC server that the FBI was never able to investigate: You have groups that are wondering why the FBI never took the server—haven't they taken the server.

I'm not entirely sure when Kanye West started turning every single TV appearance into an intense, stream-of-consciousness speech (and I mean that in the loosest sense of the word), but we've come to expect it in the same way we expect the grass to grow and the rain to fall and the sun to rise.

One year after R. Kelly faced yet another accusation of sexually exploitative and abusive behavior (a quick refresher: he was accused of running a sex cult), the singer released a 19-minute-long stream of consciousness song titled "I Admit," where he once again denies every allegation lodged against him, as he has done for years.

Through the biologist's prose, a cerebral mix of scientific observation and stream of consciousness used to underline her mutating mental state, VanderMeer tells the story of Area X. Her husband, so key in Garland's film, isn't important in the book outside his function as a plot device (at least not until much later in the trilogy).

Reading it is a bit like being at a dinner party where a smart and opinionated guest is squiffily holding forth, in an almost stream-of-consciousness mode, on everything from the future of football to the dangers of unfriendly A.I. to the (supposedly) timeless interest of the sitcom "Roseanne" to the hidden contradictions in the First Amendment.

A Fred Thomas: Changer (Polyvinyl) 'Tis a story oft told that this part-time indie-rocker switched gears into confessional stream-of-consciousness with 2015's All Are Saved and indie-rockers liked it so much that he quit his job, got married, moved to Canada, took up music full-time, and generated a follow-up.

It was expected that he'd introduce his new pick for Secretary of Labor, Alexander Acosta, but it turned into a stream of consciousness speech: tearing into the "dishonest media" and "the mess" he inherited as president, denying his campaign had contacts with Russia, and announcing he'll issue a new executive order on the travel ban next week.
|
|
He doesn't even finish his own story, but is cut off by his wife Molly's torrential interior monologue, surely literature's defining instance of "stream of consciousness" and a gloriously fragmented finale to a novel so mashed up and wonderful and horrifying it would be loved and loathed all the way down to the present moment, modernism's most infamous book.

From the snow-covered stadiums of Manchester, New Hampshire, to the gilded halls of the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, you can bet the Republican frontrunner will deliver the same off-the-cuff, stream-of-consciousness riff about building a wall, crushing ISIS, the art of the deal, The Art of the Deal, and making America great again.

In seven stream-of-consciousness paragraphs written in the second person, Keillor sticks the shiv in Trump without ever mentioning him by name, showing the vast void and the need for adulation at the heart of his campaign: The brim shadows your face, which gives a sinister look, as if you'd come to town to announce the closing of the pulp factory.
|

If you thought the weirdest celebrity political news you'd read this week was Taylor Swift endorsing Democratic candidates and possibly causing a sudden dramatic spike in voter registration, Kanye West saying "motherfucker" during a 10-minute stream-of-consciousness speech in the Oval Office, or Kid Rock standing beside the president of the United States as he signed new legislation, think again.

So dance, whether of the balletic or break varieties, tends to slip, as if by conditioned reflex, into the knee-raising style Americans know from "Riverdance"; a penny whistle is sounded; rap is recited as a Joycean stream-of-consciousness; and a Roman Catholic priest (who would appear to be naked under his robes) shows up, as does his personal savior, Jesus.

Dates and timestamps situate the entries, which are mostly composed of stream-of-consciousness style digressions, in linear time — though even this choice is afforded critical reflection by the artist: 21998/21999/22015 6.35 P.M. writing down the time at which entries are made is as pointless as recreating the floor plan of each hotel room you stayed in while travelling.

So when it came to joining in for a remix of Anuel AA's "Quiere Beber," one of this summer's big hits, Romeo studied the turf — lush, pillowy reggaeton-lite production; a vocal pattern that congeals like taffy — and arrived with an arresting stream-of-consciousness flow full of bright spots and winks, for a performance that's smooth as whole milk.
|
|
In a six-page, stream-of-consciousness diatribe sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and released by the White House on Tuesday afternoon, Trump denounced the Democrats' two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — as "not recognizable under any standard of Constitutional theory," engaging with a process the White House had until now spurned in protest.

My studio is in a spare bedroom of my apartment, mostly for convenience so that I can work at weird hours and in short spurts (I'm a new mom — note the baby monitor in the corner of the shot!) I create fast, messy charcoal sketches in a very stream-of-consciousness fashion, and use them as inspiration for my paintings.

Mitch had a slightly different approach which I think is also pretty cool—he'd basically just go in and listen to the song and just mumble along to the music and then lift out sounds that kinda sounded like words, and then he'd shape the song around that, so a bit more stream of consciousness, but I think they turned out pretty well too.
|
|
The result is an engrossing assemblage of contradictions: Black Origami is born from Jlin's footwork roots, but with its drum corps, Bollywood, ambient, and industrial influences, is squarely genreless within its electronic framework; it's wildly arrhythmic, but finds momentum in the spaces between beats; its components are a brilliant, if often baffling, cerebral flex, but together amount to a stream of consciousness experience that feels natural, even easy.

|
The show's panel presentation was mostly a rambling stream-of-consciousness monologue from Arnold, who says he will continue to search for Trump tapes until the president resigns; it was peppered with moments where Arnold claimed to have seen or heard of or encountered proof of all manner of salacious information that perhaps wouldn't end Trump's presidency but would definitely lead to a week or two of embarrassing news cycles.

So when I tell you that a contemporary Irishman has just written a novel with minimal punctuation, recording the stream of consciousness of a man sitting for a few hours at his kitchen table in western Ireland, you might be forgiven for assuming that we are back at the feet of James Joyce, brought here by a modernist apostle, and that you'd do well to wait for the annotated edition.
|
|
Mr. Trump delivered a stream-of-consciousness survey of his transition to the presidency and an update on the state of his psyche, holding forth on his being a "germaphobe," his belief that many foreign governments secretly videotape Americans in "the strangest places" inside hotel rooms, and his low opinion of BuzzFeed, which published an unsubstantiated report prepared by the intelligence community that Russia had collected compromising information on him.

I could continue to expound on the individual works — the coarse, delicious pointillism of "Dot Universe" (2018) by Jason Luckoff; Jacob Barron's small, tombstone-like monuments made from found and cut scrap wood and assembled, along with a stream-of-consciousness narrative, into "journal pages"; the evocative and vulnerable little papier-mâché "Huckleberry Mountain" (2018) by Brian Nanry, whose work is largely inspired by alien landscapes — but perhaps it's time for the reveal.

Deviating from his point-of-view rules, Mukherjee drops into a chapter of Ritwik's a startling stream-of-consciousness passage in which Anne remembers the son's birth, in India, and mixes it with the memory of his death: His brains blown out, a leaking dark jam everywhere, on the desk at which he had sat while doing it, on the wall behind, spattered with blood as if a naughty child had had an accident with a bottle of ink. . . .
|
|
Anyone focusing too much on the plot, though, will miss the trees for the woods, because the real draw of this shamelessly performative experimental fiction is the endless metaphysical abyss of Krasznahorkai's prose: uninterrupted stream-of-consciousness passages that last for chapters with no breaks of any kind, ruminate simultaneously on the cosmic and the mundane, and fold endlessly onto themselves in a hopeless existential ouroboros, perpetually advancing and retreating before the impossibility of grasping the self and the universe.

This might not have been recorded by a dad, but it is still a dad video, the kind of stream-of-consciousness we're-in-London uninteresting crappy thing that dads do, and I'm glad for it: We criticize our always-on, phones-up society, don't we—once every two years there's always a viral video of some earnest guy reading a poem directly into a camera, "your phone is rotting your brain / look up at the sky, it might rain"—but for me, it's actually good.
|
|
I couldn't make this up if I kept a stream-of-consciousness diary while hooked up to a feeding tube filled with psychedelics for 8,000 years.) The rest of the trailer plays out like a more sinister version of pretty much any 90s makeover movie: Fatty Patty—sorry, THIN + HOT Patty—vows to seek revenge on classmates who have wronged her, because losing weight is the only way to feel strong enough to stand up for yourself against cruel people (unless, of course, you just eat all of them).
