I got to see it in Amsterdam - such a cool work! They need headsets that can fit big glasses though :)

Seems like a good time to mention that, if you weren't aware, the term "Canola" is a portmanteau of Canada and Oil

in case you start seeing the word "Amerola" thrown around

First there was the Opium Wars. Now we have the Cooking Oil War.

Have had Black Messiah in regular rotation the past few weeks and all I can say is RIP to one of the best to ever do it. Didn't leave us much but it was all pure gold, and utterly singular. No doubt he would have come back with a masterpiece if he had the strength. Just a massive loss to the world.

Just in case this gets in front of people who miss or twist my meaning, this is in no way a defense of the Israeli genocide or the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, nor is it an elevation of antisemitism above other forms of racism or bigotry

Thanks. A very tiny injustice in the broader context of our world right now but still maddening

Got my first explicit “we cannot fund this Jewish-themed work because of what’s happening in Israel” note and, in addition to being absolutely blood-boiling on many different levels, I need everyone to understand that holding diasporic Jews responsible for Israeli war crimes is simply antisemitic

Any Pyramix users on here? If so I have a time-sensitive project to potentially hire you for, if you're interested...

No clearer indication of the right’s moral rot than the swift evolution from angrily denying any association with buffoonish bigots like like Posobiec and Fuentes, to “there’s no harm in having a conversation,” to openly praising and promoting them.

Not the least surprised by this. I’d hope it might finally wake up some mainstream libertarians to what Smith is really about. But it probably won’t.

I really like Craig Taborn getting a MacArthur because, in addition to being a brilliant musician, he is operating quite far outside any milieu where that kind of money could come in through other channels

this is the Jewish equivalent of the "there are no men here, there's an unlimited supply of Bud Light, and you can never leave" 80s commercial

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

yeah that makes sense. there's probably a lane here for someone to do this work well but it would be hard and perhaps not the most spiritually rewarding, given who could afford it

totally...the thing about real consultants is that they have tons of resources to throw at the problem of understanding the orgs they're working for. but arts orgs couldn't afford them.
