“Defined by wishful thinking, these movies presented the triumph of the sacrosanct in difficult, intractable situations that in reality did not offer clear resolutions or even cause for hope.” @hamrahrama on 2025 Oscar films (and David Lynch).

Slow news day -- wrote about Trump's tariffs, Chinese exports, CARS!, and all the uncanny resemblances between today and the 1980s rise of Japan and the Asia-Pacific capitalist monster. (bonus: Trump dropping a "motherfucker!" in the first paragraph!) https://t.co/5qshVMNRby

And if you haven't read the magisterial and Krause Essay Prize-winning "Not One Tree," co-written by Sasha and Grace Glass, this is a good moment to do so.

"Right here, a man lost his life, because they were negligent. They did not go to one tent to check if somebody was in there. Not one tent. They are negligent, and regardless of how society or whatever tries to judge us, we are somebody. There was somebody's son."
OMG. The City of Atlanta crushed a homeless man to death with one of its bulldozers as the city attempted to clear a homeless encampment ahead of MLK Day celebrations scheduled for Monday. They didn't check to see if anyone was in the tents. Welcome to Hellscape America.

I interviewed Jordan Thomas, a former wildland firefighter and cultural anthropologist who researches Indigenous burning practices, to understand why megafires in California burn the way they do. A helpful and ultimately hopeful conversation:

The job parameters for wildland firefighters haven’t changed significantly since the 1980s. What has changed significantly since the ’80s is the climate. So essentially, they’re working with the job...
