NOT MY TEMPO

A meme combining JK Simmons’ character Fletcher from the movie Whiplash (2014) - a demanding, uncompromising music teacher - with the drummer from Angine de Poitrine. The figure of Fletcher is inserted precisely, i.e., without any background, into a photo of the drummer such that he appears to be reprimanding him ruthlessly, as in the film.

Only partially germane to the topic, but I feel Whiplash is actually a film about codependency and abuse, not about any actual musical skill. I know a very skilled drummer who feels the same way. JK's character is pure and simply an asshole, and Miles Teller should be read as the victim.

outer burrows

A blue evening sky over a meadow, and a view underground. A small tunnel leads down to a large burrow, except the burrow has a glowing white doorway in it leading somewhere else. Fixed to the wall of the burrow is a black sign with white lettering and a white arrow. The style looks like New York City subway signage, and the sign says "downtown". Above ground, next to the hole, is a spherical green and yellow lamp that indicates a New York City subway entrance. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"But there is room for creativity. Over time, Norwegians have adapted the taco to local tastes and ingredients. In the hunter-led northern reaches, reindeer and moose can appear in place of beef, while smoked salmon, shrimp and other fish versions crop up along the coast."

I am 100% in for Norwegian tacos.

"Hungarian public media outlets close to Viktor Orbán have suspended broadcasting, the country’s prime minister said as he hailed efforts to dismantle the longtime nationalist leader’s control over information."

The message on the TV reads, "Public media should not lie. We are sorry for doing it for so long. Public media now will be reformed so it will be independent and trustworthy. Our news program is currently suspended. Stay tuned!"

Akihiko Okamura

Women crossing through British Army barricade, Northern Ireland, c. 1969
source: https://akihiko-okamura.ie

"From the late 1960s to the early 1980s, renowned Japanese war photographer Akihiko Okamura (1929-1985) created a remarkable, compelling and largely unseen body of work in Ireland, north and south. After covering the Vietnam War, Okamura went to Ireland in 1968 and soon after, in 1969, he decided to move to Ireland with his family. From then on, he continually photographed the Troubles in the North and his life with his family in the South, until he suddenly passed away, in 1985."

Wow.

This is an incredible photo.

So I've always found Irish history super fascinating and have read quite a few books about it; of course the Troubles loom large as part of it. (I particularly liked "The Troubles" by Tim Pat Coogan if one is looking.)

Now - I read hundreds of books a year (no kids + no T.V. for the win!) so for books to lodge in my head they have to be pretty special. But there are certain books that I can't get *out* of my head and I brood over them for *years* after reading them; such books I refer to as "books that changed my DNA". There aren't that many.

ANYWAY maybe 5-6 years ago I read "Say Nothing" by Patrick Raden Keefe, which on the surface (and also underneath - it's a masterful bit of storytelling architeciture) was about the murder of Jean McConville in 1972, weaving in the story of a few notorious Troubles era folks like Gerry Adams and particularly the Price sisters, who are most well-known for going on a hunger strike in prison. But really, it's about the most holistic coverage of the entire Troubles era I've ever read, and it's also about *Ireland*. (It also engages the reader with the problems of how to document certain kinds of history.) Just fantastic stuff.

And it just knocked my fucking socks off while also slapping me in the face. I would have read it in a day if I hadn't had to keep stopping and go take a walk so I could thinking about what I just read. I immediately re-read it and have several times since. And still, though it's been years, I regularly think about it - it was truly a book that changed my DNA. Tldr: read it!

*Cough* circling back, a huge part of the book - and one of the themes and he framed it that I've been unable to stop thinking about ever since concerns how protest and then radicalization happens, and especially how it happened in Ireland. It asks some very huge questions about violence - how it's framed & narrated; particularly the morality of (including *forgetting*!); and the spaces in which both condemnation and condoning occur and circle around each other. Which might not seem like new subjects but he definitely makes the reader ask questions of themselves in very interesting ways. (All of this very much hit home in the wake and then re-election of The Shithead.) And from that viewpoint this photo is *everything*. It's about half the book in one image. Incredible.

@williwaw did you see the 8 part mini series about the Jean McConville killing? It was fascinating.

@mkerbaj no, hadn't even heard of it, don't watch much t.v. . . . but I just looked it up and it's based on the book!! So if you liked it you'd like the book! Hooray for books!

@snarkout already read em! :) both filed under "incredible books I'm emotionally incapable of reading again"

(Rage inducing is right - I started Empire of Pain and then saved it until wood chopping time, which probably prevented me from punching a wall or something similarly awful.)

If you grew up in the 90s, you probably still have at least one of these somewhere. Slightly farther down, approaching the hovering disk, are several people wearing robes. One of them is holding a staff. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Getting back on my "try to visit all of Vermont's public libraries" project (despite someone already doing a speedrun of it on Instagram this past year). Library 66 was in Corinth Vermont, was my "local" when I first moved to Vermont and is now in the far side of my county from where I live. Too nearly an hour to get here. The brand new library director went to the same library school as me, in Seattle.
