just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

not in any way blaming bit brigade, but that last sentence clause here feels inappropriate, considering that many other artists would gladly and voluntarily design their sets around the theme. bit brigade in no way has a monopoly over that nor should anyone. you either do it or your don’t
magfest.org
However, we've since updated that page with the guidelines that are in line with our internal policies over the last few years. We're genuinely sorry about the confusion. Bit Brigade is the only exception to this rule this year, and we're extremely excited to hear their new MMX set!
pvbaudio.bsky.social
well this brings up another point, then. the theme usually isn't announced beforehand, so what influences these decisions? performers usually don't base their entire set on one thing (excluding groups like Metroid Metal, who also played consecutive years based on MAGFest theming)

Like, I understand there aren't really a lot of winning plays right now; you can't un-book Bit Brigade, this isn't their fault and they should not be blamed for people wanting to see them.

But a lot of people who are really important to Magfest are very upset and there's real damage being done here

can't wait to see this back!

I wish you nothing but the best regardless lol

I am excited to hear what fun things you have cookin up

I know that MAG staff is seeing the comments because they deleted this and reposted it ~12 hours later (without fixing the typo you pointed out). we just want magfest to clarify what their policy is on this, because from the outside, it looks really unfair to everyone who's been applying to perform

Also very telling about the status of MAG is how so many people in my DMs are basically like "I'm afraid if I say this publicly I won't ever get booked" which is just beyond fucked. If MAG would pass on someone due to totally valid criticism then MAG needs better people.

once again, my issue is not with the band, it's when organizations claim to follow artistic values and inclusion (this is definitely not my first rodeo) and don't. if it's not the policy anymore, then delete it.

at least respect the acts enough to spell their names correctly the second time, damn

I'm dum and just realized you pointed this out in the original post, but

yike
