According to my guitar teacher because I can play this barre chord I am now an INTERMEDIATE guitarist. That’s right don’t freak out but I will be shredding soon?

The Blue Jays proudly feature a sculpture by legendary experimental filmmaker Michael Snow on their stadium. The Dodgers organist guy sometimes plays the Twin Peaks theme when there's a 2-2 count. I know who the REAL art enjoyers should support...

Deborah Stratman on "celluloid as stone carving"
D: It feels vital that this was made on celluloid, since it is in its way mineral-based (light-sensitive crystals), meaning your film is of a kind with its own story, recording a memory in the same way that these rocks do. If someone found the reel hundreds of years from now, the images in sequence on the frames would still tell their story. Do you think about that kind of archaeology of film and filmmaking? DS: Yes! Exposing celluloid is a special kind of stone carving. The light is carving the photosensitive emulsion, which is composed of suspended minerals. Despite being a “thing” rather than 1s and 0s, the medium still feels utterly transient. I mean, cinema has barely been around a century, so it’s hard to imagine its archaeology. I do think about the legacy of ideas, though, about what I have absorbed and what I will pass on. I guess if I want the things I make to be around a thousand years from now, I’d better start arranging henges.

sometimes you just need to read some Cedric Robinson and you'll feel a little more sane
From Cedric Robinson's Forgeries of Memory and Meaning "The Politics served as a rationale, a maintenance device. And in the service of a racial regime, its author maneuvered history aside, displacing it with the ideological reading of nature. Not unremarkably, the rationale outlasted the slave system for which it had been promulgated. In the modern era it melded with or complemented justifying belief systems spun from subsequent systems of human bondage. But whether slavery was principally rationalized by conquest, ethnic or religious distinctions, cultural differences, dramatic or slight phenotypic distinctions, the powerful classes consistently found their Aristotles, that is, intelligentsias, seduced into or compelled to invent forgeries of memory and meaning"
