As part of @portlandmercury.com’s winter print issue, I made some holiday gift recommendations, including Werner Herzog’s “The Future of Truth”:
Image of a blurb from a newspaper printed zine, with a imagistic graphic of a book on top of it, reading: The Future of Truth by Werner Herzog Werner Herzog, iconie director and overly memeified 83-year-old, has made almost as many films as years he's been alive. Crossing the porous boundaries between documentary and fiction, Herzog's work has been obsessed with the search for truth, often to the detriment of facts. Quotes, history, whole people— in even his so-called "documen-taries," Herzog's made up a lot. "I just don't think truth is some polestar in the sky that we will one day get to," he states in his new book, The Future of Truth, translated from German by Michael Hofmann. "It's more like an incessant striving." The book is Herzog's "uncertain journey" through this "post-truth era," collecting essays on the sore spots of our negotiable reality-fake news, Al anxiety, Japanese fam-ilies-for-hire, Elon Musk's limited imagination-and his primordial quest for "ecstatic truth," all with plenty of fascinating anecdotes and the warm, easy eloquence of a lifelong bullshitter.

Understandably, these are mostly just prompts for people to indirectly brag about how young or how old they are. But anyway, there's also this perfect album that came out the year I turned 16:

theater in Harney County, OR, from "Not One Drop of Blood" (Devereux, Hinton, 2025)
A one-screen theater on a small, dusky rural Oregon street. The marquee states that the theater is showing "MORBIUS" but it's spelled "MORBUIS" on the left-hand marquee. Posters on either side of the interest have the now-iconic image of Jared Leto as Morbius.

Enjoyed BUGONIA quite a bit.
Not Emma Stone in Bugonia, but actually Klaus Kinski from Nosferatu, because I'm attempting to make a joke.

Ideal listening for this weather
Vinyl cover of Keith Fullerton Whitman’s Antithesis, a Kranky release from 2004. Extremely dreary and somewhat sinister, accompanying rainy and similarly dreary weather.

Thinking of getting a souvenir from the Thessaloniki airport…
A close-up on a stuffed anthropomorphic penis, smiling and cute, with the words “I LOVE COCK” across its shaft. It hangs with many other stuffed dicks, one saying “GREECE” and another saying”I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND.” A tag with the Greek flag makes sure you know where this came from.

Thessaloniki view from where we’re staying
A view at night high above the coastal downtown of Thessaloniki, all twinkling lights and purple spire, with the promenade of the southern part of the city far in the distance, past a lot of sea.
