Latest read was MOMO by @johncusack.bsky.social and Ignacio Noé, weird and trippy and full of cameos and references and moving with music throughout
The cover to MOMO by John Cusack with art by Ignacio Noé, it’s a spacy depiction of an older wrinkled man’s face with wild hair

The Why Cheap Art? Manifesto, Bread & Puppet Theater, 1984
the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto
PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that
ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEMS & the
RICH.   ART IS NOT BUSINESS !
It does not belong to banks & fancy investors
ART IS FOOD . You cant EAT it BUT it FEEDS
you. ART has to be CHEAP & available to
EVERYBODY. It needs to be EVERYWHERE
because it is INSIDE of the WORLD.
ART SOOTHES PAIN !
Art wakes up sleepers !
ART FIGHTS AGAINST WAR & STUPDITY ! 
ART SINGS HALLELUJA!
ART IS FOR KITCHENS!
ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!
Art is like green trees!
Art is like white clouds in blue sky!
ART IS CHEAP!
HURRAH!
Bread & Puppet Glover, Vermont, 1984

Just finished Bang Bang Bodhisattva by @briewoodfiction.bsky.social and it was very much my shit. Queer, poly, neo-noir, cyberpunk, and full of twists and turns that kept me tuned in the whole way through. Highly recommend

My last little bit of art until i get more supplies
It’s a purple blue sky over green grass that is honestly, way too tall judging by how it’s framed in the piece

Did another oil paint/pastels piece today, my first flower, feel pretty good with it
It’s a flower, the flower is green with blues against a background in various shades of purple, and a splash of yellow/white around the flower for depth and separation purposes

Did a mixed paint/oil pastels thing today. Dunno what it is. It’s very swirly. i want to start doing more physical/tangible art again, not a terrible start i suppose
It’s mostly purple, but also green, with some blues and oranges, it looks like swirls or loops or tubes or tendrils or something.  i dunno, i don’t art with intention, i art with vibes until it tells me what it is.  Or doesn’t.  Either way i suppose

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

What's your favorite Bible verse? Wrong answers only.
Seiji, the lead singer of the japanese punk band Guitar Wolf, wearing sunglasses, strikes a heroic pose, as he lectures a confused lovesick survivor of the zombie apocalypse that “love has no borders , nationalities or genders in the 1999 movie WILD ZERO.

What’s your favorite Bible verse? Wrong answers only.
Audrey Tautou (with John Turturro in the background) from the movie The Jesus Rolls (yes, the Big Lebowski spin-off that no one talks about but i will now be actively advocating for as a fascinating flick that i will happily speak about at length), she’s addressing Bobby Cannavale who is off screen and the caption reads “You know what? Do you know what I think? If men knew more about getting fucked, maybe they would be better at fucking.”

60 years ago today, BATMAN was released in theaters, and not only is one of the great underrated comedies of the '60s, but when it comes to delivering the message "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb," it's second to nun.

Get the CD of my album Dusty Optimist from the library by using this website search.worldcat.org/title/159356... We support libraries and physical media in this house, and i’m stoked the Downers Grove library allowed me the shelf space amidst their righteous music collection 🤘🏻
The album artwork for Dusty Optimist.  It’s very brown, there’s a long stretch of road heading to the horizon, some faces and skulls and other stuff is hidden in the somewhat abstract “sky”

Zardoz was a weirdly prescient film that just needed a touch more time in the editing bay. It predicted rich fucks wanting to live forever, trying to escape to space, resource hoarding, and grossly misunderstanding a piece of fiction that they then use to guide their vision of the future

the nostalgia diner industry should have aged past the 50s. I should be able to go to an era-accurate 90s diner, served a room temp Fruitopia by staff in babydoll dresses, there should be a Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition machine against the wall. They could sell Desert Storm trading cards.

Fiona Parker Posey
Alt: Scene from Josie and the Pussycats where Fiona played by Parker Posey imitates the pose from the comically large painting of herself directly behind her (a painting i would kill for a reproduction of btw) as she says “C’mon girls, sit down! We’ll gossip!”

If you never went to bed hungry or had parents fighting about how to pay bills growing up, then you should probably keep any judgement you have for the people enlisting in the military as teens to yourself. If you actually want to dismantle capitalist systems, then it’s class solidarity or nothing.

I had never seen Caligula before, got the Ultimate Cut at the library and damn, this movie is incredible. Lavish, vibrant, colorful, horny, violent, and the performances! Malcolm McDowell is absolutely incredible. His facial mannerisms alone… i will now add this to the list of “bad” movies i love
The case for the Blu-ray of Caligula, the ultimate cut
