It does bother me that in almost everything related to the climate, the year 2100 is used, and it makes it easy and convenient to ignore. Not in my lifetime. Wish I heard more about the next decade to get some degree of urgency going...
Would make a good double bill with his Crime and Punishment!!
It's my favorite Ballard, and I did badly want to like it...
Oooooohhhh..... great picks!! I had Alice on my short list, as well as Aki Kaurismäki, but couldn't think of the perfect book for either.
Same. I was on board for like 20 minutes and then it lost me. But, honestly, I've not really liked any Wheatley films... 👀
All those would sound lovely. Wish Nic Roeg had been able to get High Rise done in the 70s...
Yeah, I hope so! But all those Larry Cohen, Sam Fuller and, yes, Frank Henenlotter scripts floating around should one day find appreciative productions backing them. Directed by Frank or other appreciative directors. 🤞
Lucretia Martel's take on JG Ballard's Crystal World, or @paulduane.bsky.social doing a lost Frank Henenlotter script (Insect City), or PTA interpreting Bob Dylan's "Black Diamond Bay"

Mulla oli luiskahtanut limetti kauppakassin alle joka oli kärryissä. En mennyt takaisin maksamaan, otan sen henkilökohtaisena voittona korruptioituneeseen kapitalismiin. Oli onneksi isompi kauppa, joka selvinnee tästä menemäti konkurssiin. #stickingittotheman

I liked Jessie Buckley. Until today. Paul Mescal... well, he was all right at best. Several notches down both today.
Hei, kuka tunnepuhuu (2026)
Analysoimme tänään Välittäjät-podstackissa järki- ja tunnepuheen eroja ja pohdiskelemme sitä, miksi alle 60-vuotias nykynuoriso on niin itsekästä.
Tieteellisesti luotettavan, täysin objektiivisen analyysin kanssani taikoi kirjoituskumpparini @mervaala.bsky.social

Theater wrestling? Kind of like chess boxing? Hmmm...🤔
Really liked it when it came out but haven't seen or really thought about it since then. Might be time to revisit.
Same here! Gothic was the first Russell I saw, but been... 30+ years? Lair a bit more recently, just maybe 20. Love 'em both!

Good artists copy. Great artists steal. 👀

velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
Downloading! Eager to get the book too..
Whip Hand by W.Franklin Sanders gold medal paperback in My hand
Picked up a copy 20 odd years ago, it was cheaper to get this than the corrected Dennis McMillan hardback. While not quite top tier Willeford, still a terrific read.
Painting of a face in grayscale in profile, mouth open, surrounded by a colorful thick "C" shape in green and orange stripes, overlaying a cut-out section with a grayscale gradient.
Painting of two white female figures in a flat style, symmetrically arranged at a diagonal over a dark blue background. A red-rimmed circular loupe is placed over the center, revealing the women's faces as if about to kiss.
Painting showing two feet wearing dark pantyhose and red heeled shoes, coming up from the lower edge of the frame, likely from the perspective of a person driving and looking down, with some abstracted pedals on the floor, and a green and yellow background.
Painting showing two cut-off faces (a mouth and part of a woman's eyes/nose) behind a rectangular slit set within a large circle. The circle is bright green in the top half and red on the lower, with two red and white stars floating over two target circles. Everything is floating over a dark green background.
Paintings by Belgian artist Evelyne Axell, 1960s, who studied under Magritte and became involved in the Pop Art scene with compositions inspired by feminist and civil rights movements.
Noted for proper watch this week. Reminds me of @neilbuttery.bsky.social's British food history podcast, which is also terrific.
Single-panel cartoon by Tom Toro. Two men sit in a book-lined study. The older one says: "Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."
