from my review of The Living Dead Girl

letterboxd.com/pigeonradio/...
image of text that reads: "(Even if this movie had been awful, I would have appreciated it on some level at which I'm unable to appreciate movies now. It's increasingly difficult for me to care about movies—or any art—existing beyond the sloppy techno-fascist event horizon of AI/LLM. Some of this movie's flaws are annoying (like its sound design and music), but I'm not annoyed by being annoyed—like it's *nice* to be annoyed by something benign instead of enraged by something malignantly antithetical to life. If you pay attention at ~50 minutes into the movie, there's a hair on the bottom-left of Rollin's lens. There will never again be hairs on lenses, and art is worse for it.)

second hand/arm is this person. the photoshoot has an... interesting vibe.
two women making a strawberry smoothie. pink shirt and black shirt, workout/yoga clothes. they are more interested in each other than the smoothie. very weird vibe. two women making a strawberry smoothie. one feeds a strawberry to the other as they add ingredients to the blender. very weird vibe.

from 1939
b&w comic by carlo (jesse cohen) published in socialist appeal. "a short history of liberalism." in panel 1, a liberal stands on a platform with a cop next to him and a fascist to his right; he says "we must guarantee the rights..." // in panel 2., the liberal and cop are the same but the fascist is about to hit the liberal with a club; the liberal continues his thought: "of free speech and assembly..." // panel 3, the fascist is dragging the liberal by his feet while the cop is unmoved; the liberal continues: "even to the fascists, if we are to preserve..." // in panel 4, the liberal is hanging over a fence now at "Camp No. 1776" (below, american flag with nazi swastika), holding a torn constitution. the fascist stands guard inside the camp, the cop stands guard outside in the same place. the liberal finishes his thought "democracy!" so it reads: "we must guarantee the rights of free speech and assembly even to the fascists, if we are to preserve democracy!"

post about a scene from Twin Peaks with text "there are two types of stoners". left image, Major Briggs says "A vision I had in my sleep last night - as distinguished from a dream which is merely the sorting and cataloguing of the day's events by the sunconscious. This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain stream - the mind revealing itself to itself." in the next image his son Bobby is slumped in the diner chair looking very stoned, no dialogue.

Jonathan Joss's murder & the media's erasure of the anti-queer, racist violence that preceded it reminds me of what @marisakabas.bsky.social wrote about Nex Benedict's death & the media's erasure of the anti-queer violence that caused it.

text from linked writing: "At this point I feel like I'm gazing over a cliff—one from which Owasso police and schools had just pushed Nex. It's become very clear who the cops are trying to protect, and it certainly isn't the child who got beat up at school and died the next day. The mentions of waiting for the 'tox' report have awoken a squeaky wheel that began to turn—one meant to make it seem as if Nex didn't die because their head was slammed against the floor, but because of some personal failing. It makes me think of George Floyd and the way racists tried to paint his murder as the result of drugs."
