1945年の今日10月11日、戦後初の日本映画「そよかぜ」封切り。挿入歌の「リンゴの唄」が大ヒットし、この時代を象徴する一曲となった。ヤミ市に流れる「リンゴの唄」というシーンはドラマなどにもよく描かれる。
ヤミ市は、焼け跡に自然発生的に出現した露天市場で、経済統制を無視した品や横流し品なども販売された。

when I interviewed Mark in 2015 I asked him about how his interest in minimalist sculpture influenced his work & got "I mean, y'know, I just kind of like it, it's aesthetically pleasing"

"I have buried the man of former days, with his hopes and his dreams of the future, and at present I walk to and fro with a certain appearance of calm - as if it concerned somebody else - on the grave in which I have buried all that"

Keanu's a very bad actor except under very specific circumstances, so it would take a real alignment of the spheres for the Broadway Godot to be watchable

We will also hear a lot about Washington's "diplomatic achievement", a travesty of a framing. The US could have pulled the plug on Israel's genocide at any point over the past two years, and chose not to. The basis of a ceasefire has long been there, but Israel and its allies weren't interested.

Bourgeois nativists spend a lot of time pretending their opposition to immigration is about working-class jobs/wages, but show them a society where all the real work is done by foreign guestworkers with fuck all rights and they're like "omg this is paradise"

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent
