Let me into the pool of your eyes
Let me into the pool of your navel
I won't force you, baby
But let me in... 😎

Immediacy is the order of the day. We have become prey to information from different sources: print media, digital media, influencers, heads of state, propaganda, and there isn't enough time or space to analyze the information and determine what is true and what is post-truth.

Let's rethink.

"Books should be analyzed rather than accepted. By considering the world as an "enigma" that we try to interpret, doubt becomes the tool that allows us to see the lack of an underlying truth."

Umberto Eco

"Either I no longer understand what is happening, or what I understood has already passed." Carlos Monsiváis, Mexican writer.

What if what we have learned from the past never really happened? More than the future, the past seems uncertain; it is no longer what it was, and it is prudent to ask ourselves: Does knowing more about the past mean ignoring less?

This is a genuine question...

“It is only our imagination, not our senses, that continually confronts us with failure and the false belief that we can rise from the miserable pulp of backwardness on our own.” ( Satan Tango, 1985), László Krasznahorkai.

“The world has been the way it is for a long time; it hasn't become bad now. And now I wonder if the world really is bad. Perhaps, in addition to everything else, it is also bad” (2024).

László Krasznahorkai, the Nobel Prize for readers who need beauty in hell.

“We resist because we don't know how to do anything else, because the act of resisting is the only thing that gives us the illusion that we still have control, even though we know that control is a lie.” The Melancholy of Resistance (1989).
László Krasznahorkai

Like André Bretón, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalí, Octavio Paz, or Carlos Monsiváis, László Krasznahorkai would be fascinated (or dismayed) to visit Mexico, a country, culture, and idiosyncrasy very close to its literature.

“People don't need prophets, but false prophets. These people always oppressed under all regimes, refuse to admit the truth. The rebellion of these social strata has become anarchic due to impotence, so they only seek the destruction of what existed before. People need to be lied to. L Krasznahorkai

Thinking of the fear I've had so long

Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater

I want to share this great song by one of the darkies of the old American rockers, Roy Orbison, from 1961.

The song was covered by The Fools, Nick Cave, and Jeff Lynne, among others. Enjoy!

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

Bob Marley's voice is timeless and necessary these days.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will dream on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Isaiah 40:31

Charles Bukowski was born on August 16, 1920.

Let´s remember him:

💥 “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?”

💥 "There are times when a man has to fight so hard for life that he doesn't have time to live it."

💥 “Find what you love and let it kill you.”

Today we commemorate the anniversary of Elvis's death. What better way to remember him than by watching films by David Lynch, Tarantino, or Jim Jamrush, who honored and venerated him? How about dusting off 33 or 45 rpm vinyl records, CDs, or MP3 files from Him?

If you're still skeptical, check out Taylor Sheridan's second season of "Lioness," where he thoroughly dissects how foreign governments, primarily China, want to destabilize the United States from within with fentanyl and terrorism.

Martín Hernández @marcohen.bsky.social · Aug 11

The problem is not only the trafficking of fentanyl from Mexico to the US by Mexican cartels, but also their alliance with Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah cells that are infiltrating the southern border. The Mexican government supports them, along with the increase in Chinese, Russian, Cuban spies.🧵

Have you ever heard Brian Auger's music? He's an extraordinary keyboardist who has masterfully fused jazz with rock, creating true musical gems throughout his long career.

I'm sharing this intimate track, from his album Staight Ahead (1974):
