I was reading W. G. Sebald's "On the Natural History of Destruction" for the third or fourth time--it should be required reading for everyone on earth--and was devastated as always when I got to where he quotes Walter Benjamin's words about the angel of history. As ineffectual as I know such gestures to be, I began to put together this clip in my head. For those of you who know Kubrick's Strangelove, you'll be annoyed or amused that I quote him. For those who don't, I urge you to watch the film immediately.

Thanks for checking in, friend. If we forget that bit of history, we are doomed to repeat it.
