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. ⬇️

You know what I miss? Websites. Easy to navigate, with all the info in one place. They're vanishing, being replaced by Instagram (pretty pics that tell you NOTHING), Tik-Tok, FB, etc. Times are stressful, just give me your hours, rates, product info, product, etc. please don't drain my brain more.

That MPC 3 looking rather interesting when compared to the Push 3... 8 core CPU as opposed to 2 cores. Ability to trigger different note patterns and samples on different quadrants of a single pad. I think that last feature could be built in Max for Live.

Anna Readman is one of the most interesting and talented cartoonist in comics right now imo
her inks for our book, Macabre Valley #1, were so good we decided to offer a limited black-and-white artist edition, numbered 1 of 50
as of now there are just 20 left: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

A bit strange. I've created a Max patch to automatically record notes from a Rompler software, so that I resample the samples in a new context (will use on Push 3). So I'm resampling a Orchestral Tools library here.

I think we're at the "underground" phase of this period. As far as I'm concerned the pigs are winning. Not morally. Not ethically. They're taking what they want through force, illegality, and coercion. I think the rest of us may need to retreat "underground".
My suggestion: put the internet aside.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.
