'Porcelain War' finds strength in fragility Powerful documentary looks at Ukrainian artists at war.

Just saw that the tough and delicate documentary PORCELAIN WAR is playing on #POVonPBS tonight. "To create these minute, fragile works of art when their country is crashing down around them feels like an act of liberation, an act of defiance." notthatrobthomas.substack.com/p/porcelain-...

Finally finished DISCO ELYSIUM last night. Incredible game.

That chapter in Tom Wolfe's A MAN IN FULL where the working-class guy's car is unfairly impounded and, through a series of bad luck and mistakes, he ends up in jail and his life is completely changed forever.

This has to play in Madison, right? The Onion's ancestral home?

Oh definitely. As much as I've groused about editors, I've always been glad they're there.

hey great!

Jane Hobson's new single exudes an empathetic warmth "Walking In Circles" is an understated indie-rock gem.

Great write-up about singer-songwriter Jane Hobson by @stevenmps.bsky.social. I've been following her on Tiktok and enjoying her music and had no clue she had Madison ties! tonemadison.com/articles/jan...

Folks, this week TWO Milwaukee breweries reopened.
MobCraft beer has been up and running since Monday (though they aren't brewing yet) and today Lombardi Beer is opening in the former City Lights brewery in the Menomonee Valley. #letsgo

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

A slip of paper that reads “Your problem just got bigger. Think, what have you done.”

Remembering the most chilling fortune I’ve ever received.

Just a reminder that Madison has an incredible resource in @4starvideo.bsky.social, which has an easy DVD subscription plan (they have lots of TV shows too), and a Madison Public Library card gets you access to both physical media rentals and the free Kanopy streaming service, which is pretty good!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

If you don't count his little bit in AVENGERS ENDGAME, David Lowery's THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN was Robert Redford's last performance. In retrospect, it was the perfect sendoff. captimes.com/entertainmen...
