Good, clear explanation of what the Iran war and closing of the Strait of Hormuz means for our tomorrow. And it doesn't even get into the waves caused by fertilizer, aluminum, helium, etc. Information well worth knowing. #collapse

Something growing
Depluralize a movie:
Alien 👀
And the sprawl trilogy for 20th century? "Case" could be made...
I enjoyed LOST CAUSE but this sounds better. He is unfailingly smart and entertaining, though his articles, nonfiction and commentary may be far more relevant than his... thoughtful entertainments.
Had zero interest in it, and it sounded so awful I didn't watch the movie. So. What SHOULD be the recipient of that title for the best sf this century?
How is it? Read his LOST CAUSE last year. Timely and a lot of fun, that one.
There's some magic between all those guys. Did you read that lovely article about Verlaine's reading habits and The Strand? Worth googling if not.
Recommend this for a double bill with PETITE MAMAN. Gets to a similar place taking a completely different route. Oddball comedy turned into an elegy for our planet through the eyes of all of humankind. Hit me sideways, very unexpectedly. #filmsky
I felt it would make a perfect double bill with Petite Maman. It made a similar leap, and equally unexpected. Loved it, personally.
Simple, moving, true but with an imaginative side I wasn't expecting, yet it fit right in without any hesitation. Lovely.
Same! Out of curiosity, have you seen the film MY OLD ASS, with Aubrey Plaza?
Yes! Unique mixture of moods it evoked, kind of a perfect movie.
Yes! Best I've seen this year, plus...
Coral Sea by Alan Villiers cover
One of my many South Pacific books, all inspired by reading Hugo Pratt at an impressionable age, and then seeking that same balance of adventure, literary pizzazz and mystery. Love this cover by, I believe, James Fuller. 🔥 #booksky #HugoPratt
Ymmärrän yskän. Oon välistä huomannut että noi HBO:n julkaisut ovat joskus päivän myöhässä.
Ahhh... Perttu! Jenkeissä asuessani naapuri (hyvä tyyppi) kysyi tulenko mukaan paikalliseen Odd Fellowsiin. Jälkikäteen harmittaa ettei ollut aikaa....
VPN:llä USAn HBO:ssa, luultavasti joskus Areenassa, ja olihan Hesassa pari esitystä viime viikonloppuna. Myös joistakin kyseenalaisista lähteistä... 👀
It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley / Send Help / Peter Hujar's Day /Petite Maman
I tend to be a weekend watcher, but at least it's a pretty good set even if they are from previous weekend plus Monday...

Thank you! 😊
Hegseth seems like somebody from a Joseph Heller novel.

Douglas Rushkoff's SURVIVAL OF THE RICHEST book cover
Read @rushkoff.com's SURVIVAL OF THE RICHEST (2022). More philosophy than granular bunker detail, and all the better for it. The core remains meaningful and currently relevant even if Elon Musk hasn't gone full fascist here yet. Insightful, witty, knowledgeable, scathing yet deeply human. #BookSky

Octavia Butler: Aamunkoitto kirjan abstrakti kansi
Kataloogin sivu jolla Antti Leikkaan TONTTU ja John Wiswellin SINUSTA TEEN PESÄNI
HALLITUSROTAATIO kirjan abstrakti kansi
Uutta puskee! @arthousekustannus.bsky.social julkaisi tänään syksyn kirjat ja sieltä löytyy paljon huippua. Kiva oli väsäillä mm. Octavia Butlerin kirjoihin uutta ilmettä, ja toki kaikenlaista muutakin mukavaa kataloogista löytyy! #kirjataivas

Kiitos!! 😀
Oranssi kirjankansi jossa Banaani räjähtää luodin osuessa siihen.
Ei aprillia, mutta oli kiva just kuulla että ekassa kirjojen kansitaiteen Kannes '26 kisassa Mikko Within BANAANI (Myllylahti) on shortlistalla ehdolla vuoden parhaaksi jännityskirjan kanneksi! #kirjataivas

En olekaan tätä koskaan nähnyt, vaikka Skolimowskista aina tykännyt. Täytyy kaivella katsontaan. Shout ja Deep End myös hienoja.
Peter Hujar's photo of Allen Ginsberg, as discussed in film
Really liked Ira Sachs' PETER HUJAR'S DAY, as a film, as a time capsule, as a conversation, and for the possibilities in filmmaking it represents. #filmsky #peterhujar
