Het is weekend. We hebben geen program.
The celebrated windows flamed
with light directly pouring north
across the Seine; we rustled into place.
Then violins vaunting Vivaldi's strident strength,
then Brahms, seemed to suck
with their passionate sweetness,
bit by bit, the vigor from the red,
the blazing blue, so that the listening eye
saw suddenly the thick black lines,
in shapes of shield and cross and strut and brace,
that held the holy glowing fantasy together.
The music surged; the glow became a milk,
a whisper to the eye, a glimmer ebbed
until our beating hearts,
our violins were cased in thin but solid sheets of lead.
Prettig weekend. En be nice.

The Jewish suspicion of confession is a kind of epistemological modesty, an unwillingness to examine other minds too closely.

Facial recognition and crowdsourced social media investigations are constantly being used not just on cringe CEOs, but on random people who are simply existing in public.
I'm extremely sceptical that the US is going to be brain-drained by Europe or China TBH. As for Canada gaining 'three tenured Yale professors who study authoritarianism and fascism' - it's not quite flight of the Huguenots stuff pic.twitter.com/l0xuzm4FQH

"Godard makes two or three movies a year, because he works like a painter. For him, what counts is not a single movie, but the work he has done during a certain artistic period. What I admire most in his films (although he can, if he wants… pic.twitter.com/Df0ndIJU8j
