I started a newsletter called Notes on Radical Cinema and wrote a brief introduction. I plan to write short, irregular dispatches on what I'm viewing and reading. I'd love some subscribers, and please spread the word! notesonradicalcinema.substack.com/?r=47j0o&utm_c…

essential viewing. have to note imo on the english title tho, while i get the reference, it always befuddled me he didn't go for a direct translation of the original title which is roughly "The Bottom of the Air is Red: Scenes from the Third World War (1967-1977)" def goes harder

A Grin without a Cat (Chris Marker, 1977)

First group of migrants deported from US ​under new third country deportation with DRC have now arrived in Kinshasa. Deportees are from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador. This deportation agreement follows a partnership granting US access to Congo's minerals. reuters.com/world/africa/f…

Last four movies watched:

@GodKingJustice I would be honored to portray Robert Williams, the civil rights icon. NEGROES WITH GUNS is a seminal book in the social justice movement. As relevant today as it was 60 years ago

@gewittrderrosen I haven't been there since 2010, but I've been there a lot and always enjoyed it. I imagine it has changed a lot over the years.

Leaving Berlin always activates my inner 13yo

@sephmurtagh Exactly what I thought! letterboxd.com/exilemagic/fil…

@jasonachristian It's really something. Felt kind of Lynchian to me

Had to watch this movie in three sittings because I'm tired from working and parenting a toddler but it was dreamy and beautiful and made me feel like I was taking some very pleasant drug.

The most useful analytical method ever devised is Marxism. It is a total worldview and has explanatory power for literally everything: art, nature, social relations, politics, and history.

@TuttReal Would not be surprised if it was workers overseas working for peanuts. Something like this: theguardian.com/global-develop…

@jasonachristian I wonder which private consultants manage the leftwing twitter trending topics because there is no way it is AI automated that's for sure. There has been good reporting on this from before Musk buyout of the platform but Musk has made the place even more controlled by the state

I'm old enough to remember when "trending" news on twitter involved more than a hundred posts.

@DepartureJay Probably so, but traffic on this app has plummetted. It's like there are artificial brakes placed on each post.

@jasonachristian I think these are ultra targeted now to get you to click.
