I am racing the rain in the back of a London cab with Mr. Delroy Lindo. I was advised by a well-traveled friend to trust only this as a means of conveyance—the pug-nosed solidity of the classic black taxi, the encyclopedic patter of drivers versed in every alleyway and heath. We jounce over cobblestones, heading out of St. Pancras station toward the Young Vic theater on the South Bank. Mr. Lindo has agreed to answer what questions he can in the little time we have.

It was Steely Dan. Their entire discography. Every album, every track, downloaded without my consent. As if it had materialized overnight, as if it had come for me.
“I’m not a Steely Dan fan,” I said to my reflection in the mirror. “I’m a 2000s indie kid. I like the Strokes, and… some more recent bands I can’t name at the moment. I’m not some middle-aged dad.” Granted, I literally am forty and have kids, but you know what I mean.

May 2nd, 2025: Every year I go to Toronto's Hot Docs film festival where I get to see a lot of documentary films. I've been doing it this year too! The overt replacement for the CIA’s foreign political action funding has transitioned back to covert funding, using ‘duty of care’ as a rationale.
