A slow afternoon groove to Miles Davis' Tribute to Jack Johnson.
Below, a photo from the rigged 1916 fight, in Barcelona, between Johnson (right) and Arthur Cravan, the surrealist poet, said — mostly by him — to be a nephew of Oscar Wilde.
Cravan disappeared at sea off the coast of Mexico.

Merry Christmas! Please enjoy the opening to this Japanese Christmas concert special that I watch every year.
As far as I can tell, this has otherwise been scrubbed from the internet

Note to #RussellCrowe: Kristen Stewart says acting is inherently unmasculine. #auspol
Oh, it's just incredible and effortless how Kristen Stewart dismantles and diagnoses the pathology and ego of Brando (and... well, all the dudes in Hollywood) here. www.youtube.com/shorts/_h-iK... There's just so many parallels to tech in this. And I'm so glad she's solid in herself to just SAY it.

Todd Blanche said it is DOJ policy NOT to release photos that contain victims.
So . . . the release of [undoctored] photos with Bill Clinton is an exoneration of him and refusing to release pics with Donald Trump is an admission of Trump's culpability.
