i was an easy mark as a college freshman, but seeing (& subsequently reading) "arcadia" absolutely turned my head inside-out, a profound transformational experience trying to unpack the entwined structure & emotional power. https://c.im/@didgebaba/115634163088750612
The most celebrated architect of his age, a wry, pugnacious, singular genius,
Frank Gehry, died Friday at 96
In Bilbao and Berlin, New York and, especially, Los Angeles
— where the Canadian-born Gehry settled and became inseparable from the city
— he left behind playful, polarizing, materially and technologically stunning buildings
I first saw Arcadia in college and have continued to be amazed by Stoppard’s intellectual wit ever since. RIP

Ravens owner takes playful jab at Jerry Jones' Cowboys Super Bowl drought https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/onsi/news/ravens-owner-takes-playful-jab-jerry-jones-cowboys-super-bowl-drought
I think that this could be a plot device for a modern day remake of Conan The Barbarian.

This new Icelandic film looks like a winner. I love their films - so much dry wit and such an interesting culture and language! https://thelovethatremains.film/trailer
Finally isolated the alexical notion that had been flittering round the back of my mind for a few days, without my spotting it.
#Epstein, in the videos of police interviews and such that I've glimpsed, reminded me strongly of someone I couldn't place. It's the almost playful, ironically detached manner in the bit about "are you the devil himself?" When he replies som…
Oh! Look, we are getting Christmas visitors!
I asked if they aren't a bit late. But the Grey answered that a wizard is never late. He is also not too early. Wizards arrive just in time.
Well, let's see.

I loved this movie. I loved E1 & E2 but this one was playful & my son will love it... and most importantly, it left the door wide open for E4!

I also think it's worth just doing the math here. There aren't enough ICE agents to remove an occupation of more than a couple of facilities. They would have to rely on local police. A lot of police departments have been ordered not to support ICE activities. This means Trump would have to activate the military. If an occupation was peaceful, especially playful like Portland, deployment may not even be possible. Meanwhile, if ICE agents continue to be as violent as they are Governors may be forced to activate the national guard to protect citizens against ICE.
Forcing conflict when Trump is at his weakest, in a way that is non-violent, puts resistance in the best possible position.
At the same time, we are at a strange time of unity. Trump supporters are leaving over Epstein, some are even mad about the deportations, and he's otherwise systematically alienated basically his whole base (except literal Nazis working for ICE).
The AI bubble is, in a lot of ways, a fun house mirror reflection of the 2008 financial crash. The whole economy is held up by loans secured with "compute." Everyone hates this, and Trump's policies have made everything far worse.
#OccupyICE could actually have a lot of momentum and be difficult to stop, especially if folks went to ICE facilities in frog suits and Luigi bloc with banners demanding the release of the Epstein files.
At least, that's my impression from out here.
