The Kennedy Center update I am looking for is "Have the artists that were waiting to be paid still waiting for their checks?" www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-...

In order for America to actually heal its divisions, we need to reckon with its two original sins: the genocide of Native Americans by the initial government structures during and after the Revolution, and the deliberate sabotage of Reconstruction by the racist remnants of the South.

I made sure to see both nights of the Mavericks tribute via livestream, but will take advantage of the age of mechanical reproduction to listen to this sometime this weekend. 1/2

Lots of talent on that stage. The Mavericks, Marty, one of his Fabulous Superlatives, Jamie Hanna...remarkable reminder of how life can twist sorrow and joy in a single helix. And how music communicates beyond language. #TheMavericks #RIPRaulMalo

Welp.

It’s outrageous and unacceptable they are letting this sanctioned POS into the country.

‘Total Sh*t’: Liberals and Conservatives Yawn Together Over Trump’s ‘Pointless’ Primetime Speech Mediaite

Tonight we picked up 196 tamales from 2 vendors and passed them out from Pilsen to West Garfield Park and then to one of our favorite Love Fridges. ❤️

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

No, is the answer

While Nero screeches....

Evil shit.

This is truly awful news. The Carolina Asia Center, one of the affected centers, is a wonderful interdisciplinary space supporting some of the most important and interesting work being done on Asia and Asian America. But hey, still paying milions to a famous football coach to go 13th *in the ACC*

Kimbal Musk has publicly admitted that he and his brother Elon were in the country illegally for years before applying for citizenship—so unless they admitted this on their immigration forms, they must be deported immediately. Every journalist should be buzzing about this.

He's lying. How do we know? Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.

Oregon has a rare program that helps people get jobs when they leave prison. It's made a big difference. But budget cuts are threatening to end the program, & lawmakers are failing to act to fix it. NEW, check it out: boltsmag.org/oregon-priso...

The worst junior high students occupy the White House.

👏

Trump just endorsed a post calling for the arrests of Chris Wray and Merrick Garland. There's almost no media coverage of the sitting president supporting the arrest of a former FBI director and former Attorney General.

👀 (Accruing signatures for the discharge petition...)

The salient point here, IMO, is when Wallace points out that in schools, both bullies and onlookers who do nothing get consequences. Which is because of what we have learned about interrupting bully culture.

About last night...

Jared Kushner, private equity firm manager and son-in-law to Trump, has ended his efforts to redevelop a Serbian historical monument into a luxury hotel complex after weeks of protest and controversy. newrepublic.com/post/204460/...

👀 "There's a whole story to be written about the public theology of this second Trump admin — where it comes from, who has refuted it (like, say, two popes), etc. For obvious reasons, that theology doesn't come from one source, or always reflect one specific tradition. But it sure is a thing."

Ukraine continues to fight. War is...awful. As is the assault on democracy. Specific. Global. Slava Ukraini. Slava rule of law. Slava equal rights for all.

Death toll is, per US provided stats, now at 95 if I have it correct. With zero authorization from Congress. With zero evidence presented. 23 strikes.

We just murdered eight more people in boats.

"The planned $3.5 billion BlueOval Battery Park Michigan in Marshall now plans to produce residential batteries, as the automaker is canceling production of larger, more expensive EVs [...] because of losses, grim sales forecasts and regulatory changes." And regulatory changes, eh? You don't say.

one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable

This person's thread-response to news of Rob Reiner's death. His memory, already a blessing.

This. What journalism SHOULD be doing to respond to this moment of democratic crisis (from the always brilliant @sulliview.bsky.social):

Yesterday was awful. Layers upon layers.

Today is the court-ordered deadline for the Trump administration to withdraw California National Guard troops from Los Angeles.

I still hold that ethics must apply to everyone entrusted with public power and funding must uphold public trust including the sacred obligation not to abuse those powers & to keep public records of public business. We should all try to hold officials accountable for doing so, without fear or favor.

Psychopaths.

“The skies over the Caribbean have become increasingly crowded in recent weeks, as the U.S. military has sent more aircraft and equipment to the region as part of the military buildup against Venezuela.”

And they aren't the first. Among the survivors of the 2003 MSU shooting: Jackie Matthews was 11 years old when she hid in her classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012. [Anonymous] survived a November 2021 shooting at Oxford High School. Any lawmaker submitting to the gun lobby is a monster.

Beyond comprehensible. In 2023, two students who survived the Michigan State University shooting had previously survived school shootings. One at Sandy Hook Elementary, one at Oxford High School. Stop the gunsanity. www.metrotimes.com/news/msu-sho...

Days 13 and 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar with two exploratory compositions on the theme of Geology as Art.

Ahmed el Ahmed. That's the guy who tackled one of the shooters at Bondi Beach. Scrape that. Scrap turning thinking over to AI.

Just in case anyone wants to say calling the Trump Organization currently occupying the White House a crime syndicate is exaggerating. It's a crime syndicate. Pozhaluysta.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.
