An incredible review of AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS in NY Times By Gina Apostol “Reminds us surrealism also had a social ethos, to destabilize ruinous order through art. Similarly this is what AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS offers: the art-polemic as a defiant befitting medium for our dire times”

The Unconsoled is kinda like an Introvert's version of hell. Everyone acts like they know me and they're making me do stuff for them and I'm a little confused but I'm trying to be a good sport about it

Packed too many books because I didn’t (and still don’t) know what I feel like reading today 😐

Anyone have any good ideas of what would be a good Spanish translation for American Abductions? Definitely not Secuestros Estadounidenses. Nor Raptos en USA. Luz de América? 👹

I can no longer recall what I’ve said or not said to any one in particular. That’s why I founded SummarizeYouAI. SummarizeYouAI records, transcribes, & summarizes all your conversations. Next time you meet A or Z, SummarizeYouAI will make sure you don’t repeat yourself!

What I learned this week: - Sounds of the birds in The Birds aren’t the sounds of actual birds. - Color of Pomegranates influenced the music video for Losing My Religion. - Ozu would make his actors rehearse their scenes 20-30 times so as to remove their automatic reactions.

Tonight I watched an incredibly piece by Joseph Bohigian based on the life of Parajanov: Armenian songs with electronics performed by the Paul Dresher Ensemble

San Francisco can feel like a wasteland of tech people who love matcha, hiking, & vibes based cheerfullism, but my neighborhood movie theater @roxietheater still keeps screening these great retrospectives. Just purchased my Kurasawa pass. 🫶🏽

This level of barbarity is unconscionable. Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death. It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

Reshuffling.

“I’ve always felt that it was necessary above all to write about the history of persecution, of vilification of minorities, the attempt, well-nigh achieved, to eradicate a whole people.” — W. G. Sebald (in a 2001 interview)
