Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

The Lee Miller show at Tate is so rammed it's hard to see. But as an alternative, a great exhibition at the Photographers' Gallery opens today on 100 years of photo booths.

Someone uploaded Cafe Müller in its entirety to Youtube and I am grateful! The piece Pina Bausch is mostly remembered for, and rightly so. I keep telling people if they really want to understand post-war Germany, they need to see this. I have absolutely no idea why I keep telling them this.

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

Miyazaki: in this movie two young girls (one is a toddler) are uprooted from everything they know to start new lives near the rural hospital their mother is in; she is possibly dying of TB. Their dad works several hours away and they are largely unsupervised.

AI Bros: so homey! So comfy!

every ai bro who has reduced miyazaki to empty gentle aesthetic should no exaggeration get the judas cradle bc this man's markmaking & passion about telling WAR STORIES

#booksky It’s scary how prophetic this book is. It doesn’t matter if Tristero is real or not because society itself has literally gone mad. Pynchon didn’t just foresee the disinformation age, social media and Trumpism, he diagnosed the preconditions that would allow something like that to flourish.

Aye. Plus I love the early stuff, when they were still a three-piece and Carlos Peron gave them a darker edge.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

#NowWatching MEMORIES OF MURDER (2003). Director: Bong Joon Ho. Song Kang-Ho, Kim Sang-Kyung.

I haven't rewatched Bong Joon Ho's second feature & breakthrough since he became a global superstar. Serial killer procedural both satiric & devastating.
