Honestly very impressed by Newsmax, the Washington Times, and the Washington Examiner.

They deserve credit precisely because they’re standing up for journalistic principle notwithstanding their ideological inclination.

Going through my Ken Jacobs file I found this 2012 conversation. It was organized by Violet Lucca who was also responsible for the pedagogical projection alluded to in our talk. (The picture below is so far as I know the only record of the event.)

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

Breaking: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the legendary transgender activist and veteran of the Stonewall uprising who dedicated her life to the liberation of trans people, especially Black trans women, has died at 78.

Has been berry berry good to me.

Nashville folks, @ekkoastral.bsky.social is playing a show Friday at drkmttr! It will be amazing!

He did much of the grocery shopping. He really liked driving around and shopping.

If you live in one of these cities and can go see this band, you should go see them. Ekko Astral is fucking awesome!

I have decided to write a few essays about why I loved watching Diane Keaton so much. The first one is on her incredible performance in SHOOT THE MOON. There is no paywall on this essay.

I still know the home phone number for the town I grew up in and no one in my family has lived there since 2000.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Wrote a bit about an icon whose breezy, awkward, insecure candor made her feel like a friend.

Ot'sa fine.

“It’s like Orson Welles said: the worst thing that ever happened to filmmaking was the homage… I want to see something that’s new when I walk into a movie theater.”

A sharp talk between Mary Bronstein and @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social on IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU.

Something I discovered the other day. There's an actual place to buy suits from if you're James Bond or John Wick.

Catching up on films of the '10s.

The most expected reaction.

"He is extremely distraught and surprised and upset" about the news of Keaton's death, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively, adding that "it makes him think of his own mortality."

Wrote about one of my favorite Diane Keaton performances:

This is a very good piece.
