A mongrel of the arts. A pub quiz Taoist. A maker of movies, including (but not limited to) many movies about other movies. David Lynch liked to say “keep your eye on the donut, and not on the hole”. It’s a good mantra.

It’s not the sexiest of garments. It arguably looks more like a discarded fishing net. And yet it has cast a spell over the internet

Thx @99pi.org + @romanmars.bsky.social for re-airing/updating one of my fave eps about a secret apartment in a Providence shopping mall. Prompted me to find Jeremy Workman’s doc - it really hit a lot chords for me on public art, gentrification and fed my inner rebellious spirit. Highly recommended.

therme doesn’t even have enough equity to purchase a 1500sqft house in toronto let alone a megaspa worth taxpayers’ billions or the life of 900 trees
European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada (Gift Article)
A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

Want more? At @spacingstore.bsky.social , @johnlorinc.bsky.social has been investigating Therme for years (harassed by their hench-comms). Go back thru his archive. Maybe the NYT will wake more up in Ontario who shrug at Cdn reporting.

Nick Rivers is forever the greatest and most underrated Val Kilmer performance amongst many great performances in his career, at least in my heart anyways. Acting backwards, fighting underwater, singing and dancing like Elvis, also German polkas. RIP
val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning

A break from political outrage to say “Chikhai Bardo”: beautiful filmmaking, performance by Dichen Lachman, just enough plot WTFs but not too much to overwhelm the human connection. Strongest #Severance outing for me so far. Exquisite and haunting final shots behind my eyelids in sleep tonight.

Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontario’s contract with Starlink now. Absolutely solidarity with Ukraine but also to avoid it being used as a bargaining chip by Musk and Trump against Canada. Right now, Premier Ford.
“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”
