In all the films now u have people saying how wonderful it is to hear budding jazz musicians practicing. In the biographies is more like I had to hide in a closet. U don’t get the mythology of Sonny on the bridge without this fact. The films are full of it.

I’m painting pictures of things I know about, and things I’ve felt, that the world just hasn’t had the chance to feel... I’m painting pictures of another plane of existence, you might say, of something that’s so far away that it seems to be nonexistent. (Sun Ra)

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to go read a book.

Agree with Bernie Sanders.......

new metaphor just dropped

World Cup VAR is horrible. It’s the Palantir-ization of football. Instead of human judgment being the arbiter of fairness, it makes sport an extension of a surveillance state where machines make decisions so no one is accountable. Colombia losing a goal to a PS2 pixelated toe is a fucking absurdity.

Pulling out all the science to rule out the Croatia goal

The only appropriate outcome here is for Spain to absolutely massacre Portugal on Monday

I’ve been saying bring back Baudrillard for a long time.

Because Coltrane.

Eno and a bunch of less famous interesting things dealing with generative ideas have been forever made suspect by the AI fascists. This is strange and inevitable.

“the idea that 15 days after SpaceX I.P.O.s, it’s essentially going to be part of all of our retirement portfolios; and all of our index investing is actually really consequential for households.” The A.I. Bubble Is Coming for Your Retirement Account www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/o...

Nothing on Rough Trade tops the first James Blood Ulmer 7". No one has uploaded that to YT, but the album version comes close, if cleaner. That moment around 4 mins when the guitar almost loses control is right up there. RIP JBU. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti2D...

This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

I’m going to spend the rest of the day playing James Blood Ulmer records. RIP

I use technology in order to hate it properly - Nam June Paik

In conversation about her solo album 'Fallows,' Caroline Davis reflects on the ancestral figures who accompanied her during the residency, the saxophone techniques she invented in solitude, and an advocacy practice devoted to carceral justice and gender equity in jazz. Ghost Notes from Wyoming:

“What I hate in movies is all those people you need. And then I realize I do better when I shoot by myself.” -Chantal Akerman #BOTD

Gothic is bonkers fun - I love that it uses material from Mary Shelley’s diaries - and I ALSO love that she seems to be trapped in an 80s pop video for some of it - everyone is delivering the finest prosciutto in their roles 🖤
