I posted a mage. From the Adventure Time Enchiridion by Martin Olson.

Two nights ago I dreamt I was sharing a smoothie with Saddam Hussein. Then last night I dreamt my eyes' strength had returned, at least enough to read one book so I chose the Ramayana (new Goldman & Goldman translation). It's a fiesta inside the Singh noggin. All are welcome!

Fingers crossed! Her Prokofiev is crackalackin'!

“Canadians don’t want to be annexed and hate Trump for resurrecting Nazism. Canada should take the opportunity to build a new G6 alliance to contain Trump and limit the spread of his destruction. There’s no diplomacy when it comes to the American president.”

Sounds very cool, Satie with bird song and electric cello by Blake Leyh. There's hope for us still.

Verne, our secret Master. The Gentleman, by Forrest Leo, pubbed by P/RH.

Another Verne (and Flaubert) homage by an illustrator who's seen the Psychic Wars. Luminous Chao, by J.-C. Valtat, pubbed by Melville House.

Ecco's tribute to Verne's illustrators is a eulogy to the death of illustration in book publishing.

What was Puccini's favourite curry? Nessun Korma.

See, frinstance, THE IRON HEEL, by Jack London. Yeah, that Jack London. WHITE FANG Jack London. CALL OF THE WILD Jack London. Him. 1908. Damn good book, btw. The man could write a little bit.

I yearn for Karl Jung's cosmic balance: I have a Jung yin-yang yen.

Another painter whose printmaking is even better than their painting. Tiepolo, Goya, Rembrandt, Whistler, the beat goes on.

To be clear, they were gathering in mobs outside this brave man's workplace to threaten him, not support him.

My favourite fillum of all time, opera plus the eternal victory of being the eternal loser.

They will be swamped with applications.

Over 300,000 Americans demanded that Sen. Crapo investigate DOGE's theft of our data. He is feeling the pressure — but we need a full Congressional investigation, not just a letter.

Why are our tax dollars subsidizing American propaganda?

From "Easter 1916" by WB Yeats

This is a big deal even if it isn't surprising (it should be! but this is modern right-wing politics, apparently!) The Conservative Party isn't accrediting @nationalobserver.com, but gives "content creator" accreditation to people like a streamer that begged me for feet pics and "Berta Proud Dad."

Chez Singh, the werewolves are crosshatched to within an inch of their natty lives. #werewolf #penandink #crosshatching #illustrator

Spirit animals rocked the Renaissance.

A prime minister who knows his Thucydides and Havel!

Eat the enemy.

Goya is always relevant.

Good, Lesser-Known Novels for Political Junkies, by a Not-So-Good, Completely-Unknown Political Junky Zayni Barakat, Gamal al-Ghitani I the Supreme, A.R. Bastos The Iron Dream, Norman Spinrad A Journal of the Plague Year, Defoe (agitprop is novel) Crowds & Power, Elias Canetti (it's really a novel)

Worth a read. There's an animated film version also. Gardner was one to watch for in the good old days.

Italian printmaking, toujours sprezzatura.

“I demand to die peacefully in my bed, just like Jesus did!”

Flip away from NFL to Satyajit Ray for a bathing elephant & what is possibly a man playing a sarod or a dhrupad

My favourite Ray fillum. Waiting for the barbarians and then we dance.

It takes a village to make a bird-brain. #TheHuntingoftheSnark #graphicnovel #comix

They say the kids don't read anymore, so here's an excellent audiobook production of a novel I keep going on about, The Iron Heel, by Jack London. Plus, Librivox rocks! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSW-...

Space is ALWAYS the place.

Elder-statesman Edwin Frank was interviewed for an article on the rise in reissue publishing in @culturedmag.com.web.brid.gy "There became a historical dimension to people’s awareness and their cultural commitment."

Racking my brains to find suitable illo to embellish @wallacepolsom.bsky.social 's "syllogism", there's something Carrollian about it, finally hit upon Áloþk’s Adventures in Goatland (Your Are Old, Father William).

Kite fighting is the poor man's opera.

A tug of the ink-stained forelock to Beuys, a true Enthused One. And a consummate survivor.
