I didn’t know the astounding and truly radical history of the early anti-Zionist Jewish Labor Bund until I read @dfelsenthal.bsky.social historically steeped and eloquent review of @mollycrabapple.bsky.social book, "Here Where We Live Is Our Country"

GOP Rep. Called Israeli–U.S. Defense Tech Integration “Dangerous.” The House Passed It Anyway.
Rep. Thomas Massie had tried to strip the provision from the $1.15 trillion Pentagon budget, calling it “lopsided” in Israel’s favor.

“A surprising number of (arsonists) set their fires near casinos that they frequent on a daily basis.” Insane that we live in a culture that would ever even entertain gambling on natural disasters.

Do you know Roxy Music and foppish frontman Bryan Ferry? Here’s a twisty, exquisite essay by @dfelsenthal.bsky.social in @pitchfork.com that limns Ferry’s later work as a juggle of Brit social class and style — and a way of swimming through age and grief. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.
RIP David Hockney, a smoker who never stopped smoking; an artist who never stopped working, using whatever tools were in front of him to make art. Here’s a little something I wrote about him for the Village Voice in 2021 www.villagevoice.com/decades-of-d...
Decades of Drawing Reveal a Quieter David Hockney - The Village Voice
In 2018, David Hockney became the most expensive living painter in the world. His record-breaking canvas, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) (1972), is like much of the work on which his hy...

I hate to say it, but the colleagues positioning themselves to be pro AI in teaching and curriculum, are probably also positioning themselves to be administrators, and probably aren’t thinking about or don’t care how it will affect teaching, learning, or the careers of those around them.

Gene Seymour @geneseymour.bsky.social · 2mo agoRIP
Extremely important and, yes, rarely discussed.
Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie@audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app · 2mo agoa glaring omission from much of the convo about the Delaney Hall labor and hunger strike imo is the fact that *these people shouldn't be laboring in the first place* this is slavery, & even the 13th Amendment's 'punishment for a crime' exception doesn't apply! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
It's been 16 hours since two journalists were arrested with protesters at Delaney Hall. Even lawyers can't reach them. New Jersey State Patrol made arrests. According to Essex County Jail, everyone is physically there. But they're just "transport." Legal "custody" is with Newark Police Department.
Adam Rose@adamrose.bsky.social · 2mo agoUpdate: New Jersey ultimately exempted press with "verified credentials" from curfew. "Verified credentials" wasn't defined. A big group of press was kettled. Most released without issue but two were arrested. Both @nppa.org members. Other press appear to have been denied sight/sound access.

Too Good To Go offers “Surprise Packages” at a big retail discount, and who doesn’t love a surprise? Plenty of us, but the real surprise is that this for-profit company doesn’t make a dent in lowering waste and getting food to those who desperately need it.

Remember the campus protests of 203/24? (I sure hope so.) This bill would have made it illegal, at the NYPD’s discretion, to protest within particular proximity of a school. Unfortunately, a (narrower) bill for religious institutions passed, the pet project of raging genocide advocate Julie Menin

If you're into "Spiritual Jazz," but aren't collecting CHARLES MINGUS albums, you're doing it wrong. Hard to pick just one Mingus LP, but you can't go wrong with this all-time classic. My 1959, original deep groove #vinyl pressing. Basically, just buy everything by Mingus. bsky.app/profile/dfel...
Daniel Felsenthal@dfelsenthal.bsky.social · 4mo agoFor @pitchfork.com , I wrote about the record that got me obsessed with jazz, and in particular the song “Fables of Faubus,” an unbeatable lampooning of American racism circa the dawn of the 1960s. Mingus forever pitchfork.com/reviews/trac...
