Dog is doing much better thank goodness.

Going back to my encyclopedia set when I need to look something up from now on… Decided not to order this despite the promise of same day delivery and 1600+ reviews.

I don't want to jinx anybody's health, but Edgar Morin is still with us at 104.

When I lived in Paris in 2007-08, it was in the 15th just south of the Tour Montparnasse. I love that this article gives space to the woman concerned for the pigeons. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/w...

This week, if you're in Toronto... www.cinema.utoronto.ca/events/le-te...

Geological surrealism.

Roger Caillois’s anagogical rock collection, L’École des Arts Joailliers.

You cannot tell me this pup is poor in world.

Scribbles from Didi-Huberman’s Monday night seminar on the fold at INHA.

Tired: looksmaxing Wired: booksmaxing

What level of empty gesture is it to return a diploma to a corrupt university? Looking at you UNC.

Raoul Dufy gets it. Collection of the @centrepompidou.bsky.social AM 1979-312.

Oh dang, now needing to decide whether I attend Georges Didi-Huberman's seminar at INHA or head to the Cinémathèque for the Pascal Bonitzer retrospective. (I know Didi's seminars post on YouTube but it's fun to attend...)

Congrats Aurore! Can’t wait to read your book. Peeps in Chicago don’t miss out!

The daintiness of the wolfman.

I cannot tell you (though I will try) how much fun this was and how grateful I am to have been invited to program and talk about Zéro de conduite! Thanks to all who attended, especially the crew @mediaarchives-uoft.bsky.social for everything you do.

In a few weeks, if you're in Toronto, stop on by... This is different from the other two talks I've given at U of T this year on stray thinking... www.cinema.utoronto.ca/events/le-te...

Je vous dis merde! 1933 - 1943 - 2026. Come help us summon up some young devils this Monday at 6pm with a free screening of Jean Vigo's Zéro de conduite. Free but seating is limited so click the link below for tickets.

If we're friends and both in Paris on the 16th, let's go see Uncle Didi.

This looks like fun! An AI company encouraging students to record their professors' lectures in exchange for a transcripts. We are going to be forced to speak in comical accents if we don't want our ideas stripmined by third parties.

I'm pretty sure the democratic party's whole opposition plan is counting on chloresterol to do its work by 2028.

Few films have taken childhood, dreams, freedom, and rebellion more seriously, which is to say, with more ferocious joy and outrage. À bas la tyrannie. Vive les enfants terribles!

A new book from @wstraw.bsky.social : looks like essential reading! www.mqup.ca/Books/N/Nigh...

this post to SCMS pedagogy award pipeline?

💯 though there we also redistribute everything in an act of communal luxury. I had a first year ask me about this film three weeks ago and I was forced to recite lengthy Lafargue passages on the right to laziness.

I solved this problem by distributing vape pens in all my large film classes. We watched Jia Zhanke’s The World this week in a haze of attentive if bloodshot eyes.

She loved fruit wine, we all loved her.

Caught up and interviewed the one person who bought a ticket for the London screening of Melania documentary. They were confused as they believed based upon the poster that it was a Frank Delfino/Hamburglar biopic.

First film critic to file the review: Melania : I really don’t care. Do you? Wins all of film criticism for 2026.

Find somebody who looks at you the way Jia Zhangke looks at green walls in The World.

Registration is now open for our Pop-Up Cinematheque screening of Jean Vigo's dreamy ZERO DE CONDUITE (1933) presented by @jamesleocahill.bsky.social on Mon., Feb. 9 at 6pm. Go to go.utlib.ca/popup2 to get your free tickets!

This is how I kept up with the Smurfs after NBC cancelled them.

RIP Uncle Floyd. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/n...

Plans for a future for the US need to include serious programs of (nonlethal) de-nazification (anti-white-supremacy)/reconstruction.

I regret accepting the new software update as now my copy of Bank Street Writer doesn’t run. FML.
