Sometimes a broken library bollard can remind you of writer JG Ballard and all of a sudden you’re explaining to a millennial colleague that the movie Crash (1996, directed by David Cronenberg) and the movie Crash (2004, directed by Paul Haggis) are two very different movies.

Mary Wild's presentation on David Bowie's 1970s transformation was a masterclass that Bowie fans and analyst groupies should check out. I was somewhat reminded of Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh's work with Corey Taylor (#Slipknot) on The Therapist (youtu.be/Azt8SRgwBJ8).

David Bowie as a young man literally holds a mask near his face.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
