It's our blood and bones
and these whistles and phones
against Miller and Noem's
dirty lies

Thank you, Bruce Springsteen

This afternoon I'm revisiting The Way Out of Easy and thinking, this might be my favorite jazz album of the decade. There are so many I love but I keep coming back to this eternal groove, the seamless way it weaves in dub, krautrock etc.. just a perfect record.

Transcript: Mike Johnson’s Gaslighting on ICE Takes Truly Vile Turn As the House Speaker offers disgusting comments about ICE and Renee Good, a scholar of the religious right explains how it is that evangelicals like him see no evil whatsoever in ICE’s violent attacks on Americans.

"There is a procedure for deporting people who are undocumented. Obama did it and Biden did it. It’s the law. There is not a legal procedure for these heavily armed, masked, no-identification thugs to run around neighborhoods and terrorize preschools." trib.al/W6bU0is

Art history is not dialectical it is essential. Con the concept. I dig schizophrenic connecting of dots, jagged images, racing thoughts.

#reading book 2 of the year. I won’t keep this up for an entire year. Does help with the guilt for having bought too many books last year, which are still unread.

ANDING ROCK Standing Rock Sioux Tribe The Office of Chairman Sitting Bear P.O. BOx D Fort Yates, ND 58538 CHAIRMAN SITTING BEAR'S STATEMENT REGARDING SRST PUBLIC SAFETY JANUARY 9, 2026 I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status. Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

‘We worden allemaal een beetje verknoeid door onze ouders’: oog in oog met cultregisseur Jim Jarmusch, de coolste 72-jarige ter wereld

Na The Dead Don’t Die (2019) wilde hij zijn camera aan de wilgen hangen, maar Jim Jarmusch zal blij zijn dat hij toch naar de cinema terugkeerde: Father Mother Sister Brother, zijn nieuwe film met Adam Driver, won de Gouden Leeuw op het filmfestival van Venetië.

Béla Tarr, de meester van het Hongaarse pessimisme Béla Tarr (1955-2026): De Hongaarse cineast creëerde in films zijn eigen Bélaworld: het zwart-wit gefilmde Hongaarse platteland van stoffige kroegen, vettige glazen, gure wind en radeloze mannen. In 1988 brak hij mondiaal door met Damnation en die stroperig glijdende camera.
