“I think people ought to know that we’re anti-fascist, we’re anti-violence, we're anti-racist and we’re pro-creative. We’re against ignorance.” Joe Strummer on The Clash.

NBC interviewed some of the inflatable-costumed protestors in Portland www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... "Protester Jack Dickinson, known locally as the Chicken Man said he wanted to counter the show of force with farce." @nbcnews.com

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

Outtakes from Elliott Gould and Grover’s December 1974 TV Guide cover. From @gabyfilmmaker.bsky.social comment on Twitter:

- Did you get those photos of Elliot Gould and Grover?
- Sure did, boss, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked.
- What?

@technonoir.bsky.social‬ My hero!!! You just saved hours of my life with this info!

How to save your iPhone photos as jpg rather than heic!

Techno “Noir” Obscura @technonoir.bsky.social · 9d

You can either open it and convert to jpeg or opt to have your photos as JPEGs (in Settings, go to Camera > Formats > change from high efficiency (heic) to most compatible (jpeg)). Done. Sometimes this switches back after installing updates, too.

1981's DISCIPLINE is my fave King Crimson album; Adrian added his angular style to Fripp's textures. Adrian played with many greats! Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Laurie Anderson, Crimson.... am I forgetting somebody? www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Respond to a fan email:

Nothing ever is perfect, you gotta make art that's "good enough," then let it go. Same is true of a broken heart. Let it go, let it float into the past. There's nothing else you can do. Tell yourself a story about it, a story that helps you feel better, and then move on...

They're all hacks. Happily spreading the misinformation. Media is complicit in the overthrow of democracy.

Oh no, not "broke up." Seeing as how I'm the songwriter, the band leader, and the only musician on every album... it would be sort of hard to "break up" with myself. 👻

It's so weird! What's the reality of COVAXIN? Does it exist?https://bharatbiotech.com/covaxin.html kind of claims it exists???

"Nasal COVID-19 vaccine based on WashU technology to enter U.S. clinical trials." Whatever happened to those trials?
Eric hoped Nasal Vax were around the corner, in a substack a few years ago.

Have you seen Harvey Keitel in Order of Death (AKA: Copkiller / Corrupt) [1983]? Directed by Roberto Faenz. Sex Pistols' John Lydon has a suprisingly good performance! Public domain, best version I've found: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1U4... Supposedly the Italian version is a 17-minute longer edit.

At least half the films I watch become my favorite film for a while. If they stick in my head for days they are great!
Last night I watched Jim Jarmusch's COFFEE AND CIGARETTES. Iggy Pop in convincingly awkward and uncomfortable when he realizes Tom Waits doesn't really like him.

A fan asked "Q What are your favorite films:"
APOCALYPSE NOW. Copolla's amazingly surreal fable on the stupidity of war.
REPO MAN. Alex Cox captures the mid-80s L.A. Punk / alternative world I moved into when I went to college in California.
BRAZIL. Terry Gilliam comedic retelling of Orwell's 1984

I'm answering some fan email from Thailand, Lima Ohio, and the Czech Republic. Ohio wrote: "(THE SCAVENGER BRIDE) has a strong, beautifully melancholic mood that mixed well with the crisp night air the first time I heard it in 2005."
