Manthan is an amazing film, and the funding of it, the sense of ownership the dairy farmers who paid for it had over the film, the collective impact it had, it's all like a fairy tale from another dimension, given the bleak situation that indie cinema in India finds itself in today...

Text reads: The result is a film that, as its opening credits announce, was produced by 500,000 farmers. Each paid two rupees in order to finance the film, and when it was released they flocked to see it. The booklet accompanying this Blu-Ray contains a deeply moving interview with the late Benegal, who remembers seeing farmers’ carts and wagons making their slow way from tiny villages to the nearest cinema showing their film. The twenty-first century has made Benegal’s achievement even more noteworthy: it may well be the birth of crowdfunding. Equally, focusing too much on how Manthan was made can lead us to overlook its other accomplishments.

A committed Left-winger who had, as noted above, been present at the birth of Indian farming’s “White Revolution”, Benegal knew exactly what his film was about, and the result has a ground-level authenticity.

What an absolutely batshit story of conservatives needing to perform victimhood.

Natalie Greene, a Rutgers law student, allegedly concocted the hoax in July, with an accomplice making a late-night 911 call to report that she had been ambushed by three men on a nature trail in Egg Harbor Township. Police officers found Greene bound with black zip ties, her shirt pulled over her head, and the political slurs scrawled across her torso. She told police that her supposed attackers had a gun and threatened to shoot her, and struck her in the head.

Prosecutors say nearly every detail was fabricated.

Greene allegedly drove to Pennsylvania and paid a body-modification artist $500 to carve the wounds on her face, neck, and upper body, using a pattern she had provided in advance. Investigators later found matching zip ties in her Maserati SUV. Cellphone records showed that two days before the purported attack, her co-conspirator searched online for “zip ties near me,” a discovery authorities cited as further proof that the incident was staged.

Tbh, I think it's unfair for South Asians to participate. Our food is devine slop, and now it's noon in Lisboa and I crave an Indian banquet. Anyway here's my second favourite all time food, the people snack: the vada pav (I love this so much it inspired a comic about potatoes & the farmers strike)

A Portuguese inspired bread bun cut in the middle with a bright green cilantro and mint chutney spread on the bread, with a red garlic and chickpea flower crunchy powder, with a deep fried spicy potato mash ball in the middle, with the most impressive part: a fried whole green chilli in front.

I remember feeling sick after learning about how MIT media lab made grad students make gifts for Epstein in return for donations. Led by Bill Ackman's Zionist wife and plagiarist Neri Oxman, her actions of course defended by him. A plague in the legacy sciences. www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/0...

The Orbs are gifts because “Neri as the designer of the MediaLab was asked to produce nearly all, if not all, physical gifts for donors — using her and her student’s time and resources,” wrote her husband, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, in an urgent email to MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito in the summer of 2019.

The Orbs were reported in the Boston Globe in September 2019, when it became known that convicted sex predator and billionaire blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein met with Ito and Oxman, funded Ito and Oxman, and donated or arranged for Leon Black and Bill Gates to confidentially donate $7.5 million to MIT and the MIT Media Lab on the condition that his donations or involvement or the meetings, favors and influence afforded him by Ito and others at MIT not be disclosed.

The Orb being made for Epstein caused one of Oxman’s students being asked to fabricate it to speak out, then to cave, then to apologize in a public email for ignoring their pangs of conscience to complete the order, pangs their teachers and leaders were unaffected by, until the disgraceful connection became public.
https://greg.org/archive/2023/12/12/pay-no-attention-to-epsteins-orb.html

The Orb, Epstein, Oxman, and Ackman are back in the news after Ackman published an open letter saying he’d had it up.to.here. with diversity at Harvard, up to and including the Black woman, Dr. Claudine Gay, recently appointed by the University as president, who was not returning his calls satisfactorily. Ackman, who attended Harvard as a legacy, found Gay, the trustees, and before her, the university dissatisfyingly non-responsive to his advice on investing, covid protocols, rooting out liberalism, and defending supporters of Israel’s post-October 7th attacks on Palestinians.
From: https://greg.org/archive/2023/12/12/pay-no-attention-to-epsteins-orb.html

But former students say that Oxman may have been in a better position than most to raise concerns. She was among Ito’s close circle at the Media Lab, she was well-respected by top MIT leaders, and she traveled to Europe and across the country to showcase her work. (A solo show of her pieces will soon be featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.)
Advertisement
And at least one student raised concerns to Oxman about Epstein’s ties to the lab in 2017.
That’s when Oxman asked those in her lab to prepare and send a gift to Epstein, according to documents shared by an MIT employee.
A graduate student, seeing Epstein’s name, flagged him as a potential problem.
“Have you read the articles about this Jeff Epstein? He seems pretty shady. . . . Just wanted to point it out in case you weren’t aware,” the student wrote to Oxman, who was in Barcelona at the time.

But the 2017 Epstein episode stuck with the student. After Ito apologized in August for taking money from Epstein for the Media Lab and his own venture funds, the student sent a lab-wide apology of her own. She said she had raised the issue of Epstein’s reputation but still felt complicit.
Advertisement
“Accepting gifts is different than having students make and give them,” the student wrote on Aug. 16 in an e-mail shared with the Globe. “I knew it was wrong. I tried to speak up, but I was more concerned about getting a degree and staying in favor than with what is right. I let myself down as much as anyone. I am so, so sorry.”
In recent weeks, journalists have asked questions of MIT about Oxman’s lab sending the gift to Epstein.
According to e-mails obtained by the Globe, Ito asked Oxman how she wanted to respond to media questions. Oxman’s husband, William Ackman, a hedge-fund billionaire, in a phone conversation and e-mail to Ito raised concerns about Oxman’s name being tied to the Epstein situation, according to multiple people aware of the situation.

As a fan of Nehru's Tryst with Destiny speech, mostly because of how hopeful and full of potential India seemed in that speech, I loved seeing it echoed in Zohran's speech to New York. Now taking bets on how many family group chat uncles will be celebrating this Indian son?

Screenshot from the NDTV website, text reads: "Standing before you, I think of the words of Jawaharlal Nehru. A moment comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance. Tonight, we have stepped out from the old into the new," Mamdani said, echoing Nehru's words.

The newly elected mayor said the victory symbolised a new era for New York, promising to lead with boldness. "This will be an age where New Yorkers expect from their leaders a bold vision of what we will achieve, rather than a list of excuses for what we are too timid to attempt," he said.

Screenshot from the online edition of the Wire newspaper, text reads:
Dutt’s dealings with Madame Cama were anything but harmonious. When she ordered him to travel to India as an emissary, he refused, earning an expulsion from the cell. Believing he knew enough about the group’s secrets, he attempted to blackmail one of its members, G.A. Bhawsar, a Bombay pearl merchant, for the sum of £40.

Bhawsar called his bluff and Dutt was arrested by French police and spent six months in prison. On his release, he travelled to Argentina where he again worked as a magician. In 1909, he was marching in a May Day parade through the streets of Buenos Aires when police opened fire, killing more than eighty people.

Time to share the excellent book I got at my beloved Xaytun's group show with other Palestinian artists in London a few years ago! (The show was a banger too)

Cover of a book in black and white called "Deserts are not empty" using a pointillism style texture. Edited by Samia Henni in the bottom right hand corner

Back of a book in black and white. Text reads: Colonial and imperial powers have often portrayed arid lands as "empty" spaces ready to be occupied, exploited, extracted, and polluted. Despite the undeniable presence of human and nonhuman lives and forces in desert territories, the "regime of emptiness" has thus inhabited, and is still inhabiting, many imaginaries. Deserts Are Not Empty challenges this colonial tendency, questions its roots and ramifications, and remaps the representations, theories, histories,. and stories of arid lands-which comprise approximately one-third of the Earth's land surface. The volume brings together poems in original languages, conversations with collectives, and essays by scholars and professionals from the fields of architecture, architectural history and theory, curatorial studies, comparative literature, film studies, landscape architecture, and photography. These different approaches and diverse voices draw on a framework of decoloniality to unsettle and unlearn the desert, opening up possibilities to see, think, imagine it otherwise.

Sadder still to think of the weird intention of the creator (of the 1988 studio ghibli anime) in insisting it was not an anti war film or a film sympathetic to the kids, he kinda blamed them for their fate in his making. Complicated guy, but beautiful and heartbreaking film nonetheless.

Screenashot from Wikipedia: However, Takahata repeatedly denied that the film was an anti-war film. In his own words, it "is not at all an anti-war anime and contains absolutely no such message". Instead, Takahata had intended to convey an image of the brother and sister living a failed life due to isolation from society and invoke sympathy particularly in people in their teens and twenties. [36] [37]

Takahata also describes Japan at that time as "repressive", a time when "totalitarianism at its lowest" was endorsed in social life. He said "Seita defies such totalitarianism and tries to build a 'pure family' with Setsuko alone. Is such a thing possible? No, it is not possible, so he lets Setsuko die. [...] But can we criticize him? The reason why we modern people can easily sympathize with Seita emotionally is because the times have reversed. If the times are reversed again someday, the time may come when many people have more opinions to denounce Seita than that widow. I find it frightening."[36]

Really gutted about David Lynch's passing, potentially because of the LA fires being too much for his emphysema, & his years of unique activism. He was one of the most impactful artists to influence me. I appreciate all the art he gave us, and sad we won't have his voice in the world anymore. RIP.

David Lynch sitting in his office with an old phone behind him, two images, top image he's facing front, the second one he's looking away. The text reads:
"One day, the sadness will end."
"But I don't think today's the day."

David Lynch looking at the camera on set at a TV show, red patterned background with a strange face.
"Believe it or not, Eraserhead is my most spiritual film."
"Elaborate on that."
"No"

David Lynch is recalling a day in 1981 when, he says, he "rescued" five Woody Woodpecker toys that he saw hanging up as he drove past a petrol station.

"I screech on the brakes, I do a U-turn, go back and I buy them and I save their lives," he says seriously. "I named them Chucko, Buster, Pete, Bob and Dan and they were my boys and they were in my office. They were my dear friends for a while but certain traits started coming out and they became not so nice."

Looking straight ahead he says with a grim finality: "They are not in my life anymore."

"And when you became Denise, I told all your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."

Beautiful brown boxer type dog in water paints resting on a yellow pillow on a brown and grey mat on a white sheet of paper. The text in the lower right corner reads "my sweet boy Django July 2024" the sketchbook is on a blue sheet

Here's meowmeowers the cat with the heart of a union leader. Food time and nap times are non negotiable and she will inform you just how much without promoting. She's also an excellent political commentator when asked for opinions.

Here's 3 pets for grace (thanks to her I no longer recall the name of the band her username is based on, it's replaced it entirely) 1) not mine but a friend's pug Yuki 2) my cat meowmeowers being an absolute snug cutie with tea and cat treats 3) my dog moonpie being anxious (her natural state)

If you see this, I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

I need everyone to meet Nuna, who I just met in Doha! It's so rare for me to meet a pug and I'm absolutely smitten, but also please don't encourage pug breeding their little noses are trying so hard just to exist 🥲

Ridiculous pug dog shaped like a chonky loaf of bread with feets sitting on a grey sofa with a blue and white cushion on it. In the background there are some plants to the left and an out of focus tv cabinet

I just love the power dynamics of this image 🔥 ❤️‍🔥🔥

Thousands of delivery workers marching in the streets of NYC in the background, as one delivery driver on his bike, wearing the union's demands in his t shirt and bandana faces off the NYPD on their bikes as they surround him on all sides. The Mexican flag is visible behind them representing the Latin American members of the union

Dog in a ball! Every time we say "such a good baby dog" she wags her tail super hard so it's a blur. Little delights!

Small white dog sitting inside a wicker ball with her nose sticking out and tail wagging. There is a carved wooden box behind her and a wooden floor beneath her.

The best Shakespeare adaptation in my book remains Maqbool (Macbeth) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maqbool ..and the the other 2 in Vishal Bhardwaj's Shakespeare trilogy are pretty good too.

Film poster for Maqbool, an incredible Bollywood film (link in post to Wikipedia page)
