I log in to Bluesky like an ageing hustler remembering the good old days. Taking a drag on my cigarette, I reminisce about my 2.5k Twitter followers, the past 10k+ likes, all the ease of days gone, and walk back out the door.

Ed Luker on Caspar Heinemann's show at Studio Voltaire, London. A show I really need to see. Caspar was always good & it will be great to see what form the art now takes. I haven't seen any since his degree show and am very curious about this area of material investigation.

Derek Jarman was writing this in 1989. Swap the clothes shops for American candy stores and Wingstops and how much of this has changed – and that line:
“How can you describe what has been lost to those who’ve never known different?”

you also would’ve thought the fascists were losers in 1934 too — the point is a fundamentally cynical and mistrustful culture makes it hard to build solidarity

quite beautiful, in an era where earnestness is hard to do, that lots of the tributes are “David Lynch taught me that it was okay to be weird.”

Something very Lynchian about David Lynch dying from a smoking related illness in the immediate aftermath of wildfires in his Californian landscape. There’s an analogy, smoke / fire, a symbolic shape, but no firm correlation — a kind of poetic thought.

went to BFI to see Visconti’s Ludwig and everyone booed the only advert before, shouting “rubbish” at James Cameron talking about the magic of cinema 🤣
