I live in the borders between. Total nerd & crackpot. Musician (electric harp, synth, etc.) interested in too many things: food, drink, nature, astronomy, history, languages, anthro-archaeo-paleontologies, movies (SFF-horror-comedy-arthouse), books, etc.!

Watching #Pontypool now, amid autocratic thuggery across America, the film feels practically prophetic. It'll fill your head with ideas that'll stew in there for weeks, and then you'll want to watch it again — and it'll give you more and more each time you do.

YouTube gave me a present today. The algorithm tossed this into my feed, and I’m delighted. There’s so little footage of the classic Renaissance lineup in action, that such glimpses are precious. youtu.be/zw7vGkxOzDs?...

My op-ed in the @latimes.com today: "Monstrifying narratives have been undermining the possibility of a more inclusive body politic for millennia. But there’s an antidote to us-them messages of hate, fear and exclusion that claim that only a tiny minority of people are truly human." 1/2 🗃 #politics

Until Congress overturns Clinton’s vile Telecommunications Act of 1996, we will not see any improvement. Media must be regulated again, monopolies must be broken up. Until then, the billionaires’ death grip on the media propaganda machines will remain in place.

So on brand for me that I crossed continents to Asia for the first time in my life for the sole purpose of seeing the memorial to Tombili (“Chubby”) the Cat in Kadıköy. What made it even better was that one of his live successors joined me for the photo op & was quite vocal in demanding cuddles.

While I can understand the moral argument of simply not wanting an antisemite as mayor, I’m not totally clear on how people who — wrongly, in my opinion — believe Zohran is antisemitic think he is going to harm Jewish New Yorkers.

Unfortunately, the funding rescission bill passed in the House today. It’s with the Senate now. Let your senators know that it’s worth maintaining public media for only $1.60 per person per year.
