JR’s Pont Neuf. Couldn’t hear the soundtrack or smell the smell (senses blunted perhaps by the fête de la musique) but it was a fun walk.

@slavagreenberg.bsky.social on livability without remedy in his fab talk on trip time, crip time, and pain in psychedelic cinema and tv. Can’t wait for the book!

Antonin Artaud’s tomb, Saint Pierre cemetery, Marseille.

This will be fun! Please come if you’re around.

What troubles me today is that the musée Cantini owns several incredible drawings by Artaud and have a really nicely curated show “par une langage échapée” featuring a lot of surrealist works yet no Artaud…

One of my favourite short pieces by Ginzburg… words to live by: In history as in cinema, every close up implies an offscreen space/another field www.lemonde.fr/livres/artic...

Will we see each other at NECS? I hope so! * If we don't, it's because I was forced to play hooky to see some Courbets.

You might think that we are done hiring here at the Cinémathéque suisse, the sixth largest film archive in the world but the one with the greatest archive building. But you'd be wrong. Here is your chance to join the greatest team of archival access specialists ever assembled /

One of the wilder experiences of late (I live a tame life) was sitting next to a woman on a red-eye who took off her shoes and socks and went to the airplane bathroom multiple times barefoot. That is true raw dogging. Also made me think of that glorious final episode of "How to with John Wilson."

I love this website, ergo I love this cinema I've never been to... lowcinema.com/about/

Aka the successful diagramming of jouissance.

The episode in which Gumby builds and then dismantles the most effective suicide machine.

This says more about than anybody else, and I'm not subposting anybody, but when I read some of the posts and replies here it always makes me think of narcs trying to pass themselves off as jazzmen. I need Geets Romo to set me straight.

Never not on the look out for a good Atget ghost dog...

Fantastic book launch for @emilygdoucet.bsky.social’s extraordinary Inventing Nader.: A History of Photographic Firsts.

Hi, guy who runs one of the fastest-growing publications in the United States. If you use AI here to write you are summarily shunned. It is instantly recognizable as hack shit.

He was born here!

You got the part! Or at least the partial object.

Will be in Oxford. Hope I don’t get Saltburned.

How annoying will I get if I read everything by Carl Einstein? When I went through Documents as a grad student I recalled him being a challenging read, and often the most essential points were just out of reach to me. Will older fare better? On verra.

Artificial intelligence is "incredibly unpopular technology" that is essentially being forced on people, says writer @astra.bsky.social. New data centers are now facing stiff resistance, providing "local chokepoints where people can come together and push back on the billionaire Big Tech agenda."

Who will make the low-budget The Devil Wears Zara?
