museums are cool because the people who work there are like look at this neat thing and you're like wow that is neat and you just do it over and over again until it is time to go

I can't stop thinking of all the poets slain by tyranny. Today I hear the voice of Federico García Lorca, slain by fascists in 1936.
Lorca after Neruda Because I was a poem, my country hushed me. They knelt me on the cold stones of a roadway and even when the guns had touched my body, I heard the birds, I heard my heart be strong. Listen. You have to go on without me. You know what my triumph was, my victory? I was open. I stayed so wholly open that I heard the birds and the gift the Spring is singing. They can kill the singers but they cannot kill the song. They can kill the singers but they cannot kill the song. —Joseph Fasano

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

This was SO FUN and probably could have gone on much longer!!
Screenshot from the film “Best in Show.” Jennifer Coolidge sits next to an elderly man and a large white poodle in a living room. There is white text across bottom of the screen, subtitles of Coolidge’s dialogue in the scene: “We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.”

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Every time I hear someone talk about the state of modern cinema I want to shout ‘watch better films then!’, there’s no need to ever talk about a disney produced film from an artistic standpoint, watch In Fabric, watch La Chimera, watch Decision to Leave, watch The Peasants, watch Boy and the Heron

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

So it’s flown under the radar but Utah just went forward with forced labor interment camps for the homeless at the direction of the Trump administration.

We are seeing the construction of the infrastructure for industrialized death and forced enslavement for those seen as a drag on society.
Invisible People > Imagine Every... & X @invisiblepeople • Follow Utah just approved a 1,300-person "mega camp" for homeless people - seven miles from town, no transportation, locked units, and even forced labor. They call it "work-conditioned housing." We call it what it is: modern-day internment.
