David Lynch: "Barry Gifford is a killer f**kin' writer...ROY'S WORLD captures his childhood and that time in Chicago, and many other places. I really enjoyed watching it and then contemplating what goes on inside a person with this history." My film is streaming! letterboxd.com/film/roys-wo...

It’s indigenous history month. For this month only, you get to feel doubly good about yourself for subscribing to my film channel and watching/liking/commenting on all my short films. Think of it as digital landback, helping this Monacan beat the colonizing algorithm.

3 things about Jirí Barta’s THE PIED PIPER [1986]
1. Bolts of luxury fabrics swarming with rats.
2. Siphoning away the sugar.
3. He gathers the infant in his arms and abandons the emptied town.
A perfectly timely tale.

Lawyers play a video that was played for Bovino. In it, he tells agents "everybody fucking gets it if they touch you."

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

The opening conversation in MY LAST MARTINI references technofeudalism--my way of sharing something that's been on my mind for awhile.
Welcome to technofeudalism on steroids: Just 8 of the S&P500 companies account for 35% of the entire US market’s value, 69% of the gains since the market bottomed in April, and almost 80% of the S&P 500’s net income growth in the last year.
