I also have to say that Charlotte Rampling (#BornThisDay in 1946) was perhaps the perfect photographic subject for Helmut Newton.

today’s tech barons get compared to the robber barons (I’ve done it myself) but it’s notable how the current generation has responded to the philanthropic and cultural legacy of Carnegie et al with their own campaign of wanton destruction of cultural institutions

I love being safe inside of my palatial bunker after destroying society when a knock comes upon the door. Ah must be my men. Coming to thank me no doubt. I'll have to award them an extra ration of broth.

I'm realizing that I've spent so much time here championing Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, Alice Coltrane, Betty Davis. Overlooked Wife is not a genre, but it feels that way sometimes.

You can trust me with a billion dollars, because I will buy and renovate every Picture Palace I can find.
Then hire the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra to play a series of movie soundtrack concerts, with free tickets for every School Orchestra in the country.

Jean Cocteau's afterward to the Knight edition. "I like imaginary stories better than history, whose truths eventually lose their shape. The lies in stories eventually become a kind of truth, or, at lest, a mysterious, new, and delightful form of history..."

Everything is bad and AI bros are trying to devour art, but there are used copies of children's books with banger illustrations on ebay for those with eyes to see.

You can trust me with a billion dollars. I'd use it to bring all the Muppet franchises under the same umbrella again, radicalize Sesame Street back to early 70s levels at least, and give the Muppet Show a full season. Kermit's back on the Street, too. Fraggles yes. Public libraries get the profits.
You can trust me with a billion dollars because I would do things like universal healthcare and an affordable omnibus of the Barbie Fashion comic.

Roasted some chicken & carrots & fennel & made a small salad & then I walked outside & was in a farm in Breton, light glinted off hay, I was wearing a thin linen shirt that went semi-transparent in the strong directional sunset. “Yes,” I thought, “I shall bathe in the crystalline stream.”
