Truly saddened to learn that Béla Tarr is gone so soon. It will always be one of the great and strange privileges of my life to have spent a week with him and his wife (and co-director) Agnes in Mexico. He was warm, funny, and patient. I have so many stories from that trip... (cont.)

This thread is 💯. I laughed out loud but it's an issue that really gets my (vegan) goat. Vested interests trying to tell us what words mean is the definition of fascism.

The National Telepathy Roque Larraquy Review The National Telepathy by Roque Larraquy, skilfully translated by Frank Wynne, is an extraordinary, disturbing, metaphoric read. A satire of scientific racism; a critique of colonialism and its mindset, the novel questions to what extent so-called…
