All love to the Seattle legend, but this image is a little...out of date.

David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome. As sung, quite well, by Douglas Wolk.

At karaoke with some creative thinkers.

We have to pressure all media outlets to stop referring to extremist groups like the ADL and AIPAC as “mainstream”: it’s been clear for awhile that they represent a tributary comprised mostly of the rich and powerful, protecting their vested interests.

The time to bring back Firefly was 2005-2007, when people were still whining about it and before Joss became irredeemable.

I cannot see a good outcome for it now. Can we please let some stories die with their dignity intact? These people would recuscitate a mummy if it could sign a check.

Retirement Plan (John Kelly) A Friend of Dorothy (Lee Knight) I Start Counting (David Greene) Two People Exchanging Saliva (Alexandre Singh, Natalie Musteata)

Butcher's Stain (Meyer Levinson-Blount) Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (Brent Renaud, Craig Renaud) All the Empty Rooms (Joshua Seftel) The Singers (Sam Davis)

#LetterboxdFriday Last Eight Watched. More Oscar-nominated shorts, and my first time with I Start Counting, which I knew I'd love. Now working on a review while catching up with other David Greene films from the 1960s. Those adventurous Basil Kirchin scores are great--no wonder Broadcast was a fan.

Reddit comment about Timothée Chalamet dissing the ballet and opera

“He's got a French name and looks like he died of tuberculosis in 1875.”

More power to these people.

Happy to see you among that group--some of my favorite critics.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Northwest Film Forum is excited to present the Seattle debut of the work of Toronto-based filmmaker Kalil Haddad. This program collects six of Haddad’s short films, each a display of his idiosyncratic and radical approach to the depiction and use of queer subjectivities in visual media.

I hope every living actor featured in this disgusting montage distances themselves from it--not counting Mel Gibson, of course.

Associating the US with Walter White is a hell of a thing.

(Sorry, not sorry for the spoiler, but things do not end well for him.)

If any news org has footage of Amazon data centers being blown up and burnt to the ground, there’s definitely a big audience for that.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

More Band on the Run this morning. It's KEXP's Album of the Week.

We didn't have an electronic playlist in my KCMU days (KCMU was the precursor to KEXP). So great to see what's playing at any given time without having to bother the DJ.

If a social media platform dominated by elder millennials/Gen X isn't for this purpose, then I have no clue what it's for. One cannot lament the collapse of arts verticals and ignore the arts. Like, I can't stress this enough. Share what matters to you even if the world is burning—especially then.

Across every sphere of modern life — from politics to culture to sports — it is becoming increasingly impossible to do journalism. The economics don't support it; the oligarchs who control enormous propaganda machines don't want it; and, sadly, a large number of readers want cathartic slop instead.

Love Story's depiction of Hannah isn't just arguably defamatory. It's also lazy writing. You don't have to frame someone's ex as a monster to suggest they're more compatible with someone else. But crafting 3 characters with nuance and specificity is certainly harder than doing 2 heroes and a villain

Still no Seattle dates, but Somersault now plays Los Angeles's @vidiots.bsky.social on March 28. I don't see it listed at their site yet, but they're screening another great Abbie Cornish film, Jane Campion's Bright Star, on March 11: vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/brigh...

March in Seattle: not prime sunbathing weather.

Two people walking down Seattle's Denny Way on Monday afternoon. High of 57°. One with long brown hair and rainbow wings, the other with blond hair, a shoulder bag, and sneakers--otherwise nude as the news.

Just another day in the neighborhood.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS!
