The white dude on the mic & speakers at Spadina and Dundas, always terrorizing the merchants & residents of Chinatown, just told the entire neighbourhood that the devil was in me & working through my cellphone. But I was too busy on my phone to respond. Also, he's probably right.
My friends called me up to offer their place in exchange for some cat-sitting, so I went back for Round Two--this time with checked luggage. Operation Reverse Brain Drain: liberating the best books from NYC and housing them in the Great North.
There are 12 books by English experimental novelist B.S. Johnson in the @torontolibrary system, yet the only one you're allowed to take out of the library is in Turkish!?!
World Cup Quarter Finalists (according to my bookshelf)

@transitbooks @EditionsduSeuil @Carcanet @nyrbclassics @WakefieldPress
Not to be a weeb, but it wouldn't be a bad time for the Lawson and Familymart guys to go international
Every World Cup I miss Mark: the banter, his pissed-offedness. Of all the (often hagiographical) words written since he passed, I've read nothing abt his love of football or the groupchats @kpunkworldcup created to analyze matches w/ his prof, grad student, theoryblogger friends
Speaking of questionably legal stuff, it takes an certain type of program to include Radu Jude's Trailer for Dante's Paradiso and have it NOT be the most controversial film on the bill, but an unedited Borowczyk not screened since the 70s definitely took that prize at Ritrovato
Just saw the 2K of Cottafavi's Il taglio del bosco at Festival Il Cinema Ritrovato & they used subs from KG. The link between the archival efforts of these underground communities & the world of professional restorationists isn't always explicit but it's been there since Langlois
Canada's number one author? That would be bpNichol, who has his own lane.
This guy? I checked and he doesn't even have a single component of municipal infrastructure named after him.
FIRST READING: He's Canada's number one author, and he's leaving Canada for safety reasons nationalpost.com/opinion/gad…
Bolivar predicted this exact threat, in fact.
Este trino oficial de la Casa Blanca es una idea completamente contraria a la de Simón Bolívar.
Esta nueva idea en el gobierno de los EEUU no se puede hacer sin la voluntad del pueblo de Venezuela al que habría que pedirle la traición a su hijo: Simón Bolívar, el fundador de la Gran Colombia y de la libertad de Venezuela.
Some tickets just freed up for tonight's 6:30pm screening of Trás-os-Montes. (Free for members)

I'll be introducing Trás-os-Montes by António Reis and Margarida Cordeiro on Friday at @TIFF_NET. Rarely screened and newly restored, this is the first film of the duo's Nordeste trilogy & arguably the foundational work of Post-Revolution Portuguese cinema tiff.net/events/tras-os-mont…
I wonder if it's not the opposite with Zizek though, a Slovenian born Yugoslavian, with the fantasy of a European Zagranitsa. From his youth writing for Mladina and running for LDS, you find a desire for peripheral integration. You never see him write about Tito, for instance.
The most affordable way to get a copy of this in years, setting aside that fortuitous trip to @kwbookstore I made 15 years ago, when they seemed to be having trouble giving it away! 😏
