I am really enjoying this so far… “Eileen” was so good I figured I would keep the ball rolling with her work. It’s funny, engaging, relatable, accessible and introspective. #booksky

My review for "Story of a Prostitute" #Filmsky boxd.it/dfPPVj

Had this film in my watchlist for a long time and finally got around to watching it. Completely caught me off guard and sent me on a whirlwind of emotion. Love it when that happens. #Filmsky boxd.it/d1JYyF

I absolutely devoured this book. There was just something so captivating about the stream of consciousness style he used in this. No chapters, paragraph breaks or sections. It just goes from one fascinating moment into another. RIP Roberto Bolaño. #booksky

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

we actually need to band together and let the dems know we will never donate another cent or vote for the party again if a single member of the party votes to give a single cent to ice ever again

The Democrats that voted to to continue funding ICE not only need to be primaried. They need to be censured and kicked out of the party. No excuses at this point. They can try to justify it all they like. The Democrats need to grow a spine and start learning a lesson about solidarity.

The spirit of halloween makes her way home... see you next year sweet spooky lady.

Today I listened to Brian Eno talking about AI on a podcast… this timeline is insane.

It is about to be "Soup Season" and i am pretty excited about it.

Shit is going to hit the fan in Portland… they DO NOT PLAY.

I think the silver lining to the current hostility towards the media and journalism is that it is going to force a separation. Corporations have no business at the editorial desk or in a creative directors chair.

This book only makes sense if you read it by a body of water. #Paterson

We need local journalism now more than ever before… as the impacts of the changes being forced upon all of us become reality… we need it to be covered in a real way and not a broad and abstract one.

Zombie movie… except instead of a virus, fungus or alien element causing the outbreak and chaos… it’s brain rot caused by social media and rampant misinformation.

I can’t believe how absolutely ignorant, petty and cruel this is.

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

Severance is so good… I am blown away by how deep it is.

"If you died in childbirth, you were honoured just as much as a young man who died in war" A coincidence the book went to reprint right after this author interview aired? I think not. It's now back in print, fascinating and wide-ranging, get a flavour of it here: open.spotify.com/episode/5eHk...

Shout out to all of the artists who will continue to speak truth to power in the years ahead and somehow find the ability to create beauty we can all enjoy in dark times.

Please don’t forget to pay attention to your mental health. There is a lot of stressful stuff happening… but you are good for nothing if you are broken.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

It’s simple. Trump and Musk both knew that if Dems stayed in power, they were going to jail or loosing A LOT of money and power… so they made a deal. Musk bought trump a victory and Trump let Musk do whatever he wanted to the government and regulatory system.Trump is fine with ruling over ashes.

I am determined to write or paint this weekend and not fall into this despair hole that is my phone.

Think I’m going to Canada for my next vacation… if the economy and country hasn’t completely collapsed by then.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

I couldn’t care less about the Grammys and what a bunch of idiots wore to the blood carpet… way more important stuff going on.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I watched a Doc last night on the Criterion Channel about Poet & Activist Bob Kaufman called “And When I Die, I Won’t Stay Dead” that was added for #Blackhistorymonth He had a fascinating journey and created breathtaking poetry. I am looking forward to reading more of his work soon.

It is the responsibility of anyone who values knowledge and truth to stand firm and never relent in their duty to stand up for it. Even if it is uncomfortable or dangerous. This book is a great examination of how lies and manipulation can cause dangerous ripples of suffering.

To detach yourself elegantly from the world; to give contour and grace to sadness; a solitude in style; a walk that gives cadence to memories; stepping towards the intangible; with the breath in the trembling margins of things; Cioran, The Book of Delusions, 1936

did anyone watch or read man in the high castle bc you probably should right now

I started reading this before the whole Neil Gaiman thing came to light and i think anyone who is trying to process and come to terms with appreciating the art of awful and problematic people would bennifit from this book.

Did a deep dive into Herman Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener” today. Came to the realization that in the context of The current administration, this form of passive indifference could be almost more powerful than this performative outrage most people seem to be engaged in.

Hell has officially frozen over… well, the Florida part at least.

i urge you all to explore soups this week. big week ahead for soups

The most disturbing thing about the Curtis Yarvin interview might be having to hear his laugh. 🤮

It's Blue Monday, which is a load of nonsense, but it is an excuse for a thread about the UK's best-selling 12-inch single of all time #BlueMonday

Remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books from the 80’s & 90’s?… I think I’m gonna write one for a mature audience. Day drinking, shoplifting, sexual encounters with strangers and gambling could be potential themes.

A wonderful trans woman reading tarot cards in Jackson square said i needed to “find my community again”… It became on of my New Years Resolutions. My only problem is that i dont know where to look. Maybe it’s here.
