“That leaves us with little moments of resistance against so-called acclerationism: Observing a tree, being quiet, being bored, letting someone talk to us without interruption, listening to a long song – not just hearing the song, but listening to it, enjoying its subtleties.”

With apologies, because it’s scary, because it really is scary: latest in my project of messing with stills from ICE vids. Stylizing them to sharpen the focus on the aesthetic project of fascist terror. Chicago today, aiming at a protester named Jess, for documenting him.

Men complain they don’t get enough sex in their marriages and then leave their wives when it’s too much sex. What the fuck, guys?

I immediately think of this moment: Producers agreed to let Kurt sing to a backing track of the song. Created this legendary 'performance' of SLTS.
