I love noise shows that start on time and run on schedule.

A musician is someone who makes music happen. The kids I teach are musicians, down to the littlest. And so are you

@meganlavengood.com Hello—just wanted to let you know that I'm on a working group looking at re-building our theory curriculum, and I'm leaning hard into your ideas. Really appreciate your work here.

It can be really worth looking back to see how far you’ve come.

Genuinely enjoyed billiards once I started playing with other folks; turns out it's actually a fun thing to do with friends and not an ongoing existential spiritual exercise where the only constants are 1) your own insufficiency, and 2) ongoing verbal reminders of same from your teacher/opponent.

STOP LETTING HIM TOUCH THE TIMPANI THIS IS NOT THE BIGGEST ISSUE HERE BY FAR BUT IT'S IMPORTANT

would be awesome to have @chriswarcraft.bsky.social 's take on this

Moreover, I think a lot of people don’t understand the degree to which ongoing cultural segregation was fostered by the segregation in the music industry, from live performances to segregated radio stations and on through to genre categories, which are marketing terms that became identity markers

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

might actually use this one

Consumer printers are an incredible kludge and grift. You'll pry my boring B/W, wired only, no Wi-Fi, cheap-ass laser printer from my cold dead hands.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

When books are just commodities, you don’t need book culture.

all these HSIs remind me of nothing so much as Blair Witch victims

recently learned about “dek bass”, a sound system culture in rural West Bengal, using cassette decks and homemade systems, and it’s remarkable because 1) the music and equipment are sick and 2) the DJ always looks like he’s being briefed on a national security issue

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

Translation: you can bring a firearm, loaded, to any sort of protest that we want you to (e.g. Kyle Rittenhouse), but not to one that we don't want you to.

It is an all-out political & economic assault on institutions across the country, & it will absolutely decimate the economies of every college town in America. Which is what the far right authoritarian party wants, because it thinks all of us who live in these places are not real Americans.

I wish @patblanchfield.bsky.social 's philosophy of "gunpower" wasn't being buttressed by so many recent events, but it's a way of viewing them as products of a system functioning as it's meant to, rather than one that's corrupted or broken. know-your-enemy-1682b684.simplecast.com/episodes/gun...

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

I had hoped there wouldn't be state retribution against Minnesotans for yesterday's collective action. But that's what this appears to be.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Top of the charts at my house today

The Battle of Cable Street. On 4 October 1936 Mosley tried to march his blackshirts through the East End, by concentration the most Jewish area in the world. The gov't refused to ban it. The Jewish press counseled calm. The Communist Party refused to assist, not wanting to be seen as hooligans.

The common thread running through all of this is the pathological need to control and oppress out-groups.

The Roberts Court is a GOP court first, a movement-conservative court second, a conservative court third, and a Trump court fourth. When they produce any outcome that isn't the worst-of-all-possible-outcomes, this is why: being Trumpy, or being conservative, is jeopardizing GOP hegemony.

Elie gets to the heart of it all: "why should we constitutionalize all Americans when I would prefer to constitutionalize only some Americans?" is the antebellum slaver question that the Reconstruction amendments answer, plainly and definitively.
