8pm EST WQXR is live from Carnegie Hall, Beatrice Rana piano recital www.worldconcerthall.com/en/schedule/... Saw her perform the same programme last Saturday at NEC's Jordan Hall. Even if you aren't a classical fan, you should recognize some of the themes from Romeo & Juliet and The Nutcracker

Seems bad

Bombing of KK Park is a scam in itself. #Myanmar junta isn’t fighting crime, it’s profiting from it and is the root cause of it. Behind the theatre of “crackdowns,” the military runs a web of criminal biz, nurturing and harbouring criminal enterprises of militias under its command.

British shipping firms and insurers will be banned from facilitating the export of Russia’s liquefied natural gas in a new bid to cut off Vladimir Putin’s fossil fuel revenues.

"freakin' liars" On MSNBC this afternoon, that's how Illinois State Senator Graciela Guzmán described the DHS lies about pepper spraying a toddler in the Chicago suburbs last weekend. @senatorguzman.bsky.social is spot on. See for yourself: bsky.app/profile/roya...

Joyce Carol Oates sitting across a desk from Kendrick Lamar: "So I'm putting a team together..." Isaac Chotiner knocks on the open door.

Any paper could very very easily run a “Impeachable Abuse of the Day” column and it would get a lot of attention and clicks. They won’t. Do. It.

It seems the theme of 2025 is "people with any amount of authority losing trust and sabotaging their own systems to be authoritarian trolls" whether one is a president or a midlevel techbro

Almost like the Canadian flag drew it up

A good half of this story is indistinguishable from an ad

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

Tesla sales in China ⬇️ Sales fell 35.8% in October from a year earlier - down from September's figure of 71,525 when Tesla began deliveries of the Model Y L, a longer-wheelbase and six-seat version of its best-selling Model Y SUV until now only available in China.

Information domains are going to become like collecting antiquities: fakes and frauds are widespread, but only deep domain knowledge will enable people to identify fakes. In some areas acceptance of fakes is so widespread domain knowledge has become warped. That is the world AI is building for us

Beijing weaponizes communication channels to compel compliance, signal grievance, assert status, and inflict punishment.

Actually, this is a huge theme in my History of Alternative Medicine class. When people feel ignored or exploited by mainstream medicine, they seek out alternative providers. In turn, many of those providers see 💰 in an untapped market. Especially if what they are providing isn't regulated.

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

Just emptied the pockets on a pair of pants I hadn't worn in "a while". Felt something deep in the pocket that seemed out of place. Pulled it out and it was a Wellcome sticker. lmao

Don't call the cops on someone in a mental health crisis unless you want them dead.

So when tankies say that HK's legislature is free to defy the CCP because they voted down the bill on same sex equality, tell em that the legislature just rubber stamped the CCP's true feelings on the gey.

A reminder that in 2019, Apple removed an app that helped Hong Kong protestors track the police. And that many Hongkongers also actually used to avoid the police because they didn't want to deal with police harassment, police created "tear gas buffets", etc. Also, this 👇

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa. Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality. In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

🍂 Fall in love with fall in Boston… again and again! Do you recognize any of these iconic spots dressed in their autumn best? 🔍👀

This is the type of thing done by regimes like the CCP.

It's so cool that when the right person lands a direct hit on ol' Elon he can't stop from lighting up and spinning his bowtie like a carnival game clown

Oh, honey, bless your heart...

Trumplicans have a new healthcare plan? Guess this "paying people rather than companies" is one of those concepts of a plan.

The Republican Senate majority is built on minority rule, enabled by unequal representation & the two-party system. The GOP hasn’t won more total votes or represented more people than Dems since the 1990s. They’ve won the Senate in 7 of 13 elections since 2000 anyway docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Interesting to see the emergence of disinformation online claiming that Taiwan paid its way for Hsiao's appearance in the European Parliament, rather than that it was facilitated by the European Union and Belgium focustaiwan.tw/politics/202...

Member of the GD-led Parliament admits that the charges against journalist Mzia Amaglobeli are in fact politically motivated, and not about the so-called “slap, pain, or redness of the cheek.” 1/2

Incredible shit here: the man who provided the template for stomping on the BBC when it displeases malicious actors in politics, complaining that malicious actors in politics are using his template for stomping on the BBC for displeasing them.

and it worked. Why? Cuz beyond the obvious physical health issues, Trump's always been HPD.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

a) Fully expect GB News to over focus on the white b) zoom in? Fully expect GB News to be short-sighted.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
