“Listen. I don’t like to preach, but here’s some advice. You’ll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it’s because they’re stupid. Don’t react to their cruelty. There’s nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself.”

―Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

R.I.P. Marjane Satrapi

[Carlos Aguilar @Carlos_Film]

For @ebertvoices, I talked to the wonderful Marjane Satrapi (PERSEPOLIS) about her new film RADIOACTIVE & her career. She was so candid. We discussed why she will never do another animated film or biopic, misbehaving, stupid people, & her SIMPSONS moment: https://t.co/KWUAzp8X02

Shattered by the loss of Marjane Satrapi. A decade after one of my favorite English teachers assigned us Persepolis, I interviewed Marjane for her Marie Curie biopic. Sharp, wise, goddamn funny. One of my favorite times on the job ever. From 2020: https://t.co/LrqOHTu0Qc

“Si me convierto en un símbolo del diálogo y de tolerancia es que el mundo va mal, porque ni soy supersimpática ni muy tolerante”.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sam Sianis — the legendary, longtime owner of Billy Goat Tavern and a true Chicago original. Sam passed away peacefully this morning in his sleep, surrounded by his loving family.

Sam was more than a restaurateur; he was a Chicago legend. His tireless work ethic, devotion to his beloved Tavern, and deep love for this city made him a cultural icon and an inspiration to all who knew him. Above all, he was a devoted family man and a cherished friend to countless people whose lives he touched.

Loved by many, he will be deeply missed. May his memory be eternal.

Listening now: Arvo Pärt's 1978 meditative piece Spiegel im Spiegel (Mirrors in the Mirror) using his tintinnabuli played by Tasmin Little (violin)/Martin Roscoe (piano)

Like the melodic resonance of an earthly meditation that transforms itself into ascending lights infinitely

Looking at times like some kind of strange fusion of De Stijl abstraction and Tetris, behold the enigmatic "color analysis" charts of Emily Noyes Vanderpoel from her 1901 book Color Problems: A Practical Manual for the Lay Student of Color.
