For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.
The footage appears to contradict President Donald Trump’s claim it was an Iranian missile that hit the school on Feb. 28. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

The NYT style guide
The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Interestingly, I love the challenge of trying to describe music with language in specific detail. However, I feel like the kinds of language that are really evocative on that front will not yield the desired results with Suno, since its relationship with language is still probabilistic.
my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

This is definitely one of those songs that I think all humans should listen to at least once: youtu.be/xe4jSbcKiUQ?...
So, just to recap, we have two random DOGE bros with basically no knowledge or experience in the humanities (and at least one of whom is a college dropout), who just went around terminating grants that had gone through a full grant application process by feeding in a list of culture war grievance terms, selecting out the grant titles based on the appearance of seemingly “woke” words, then asking ChatGPT “yo, tell me this is DEI” and then sending termination emails the next day from a private server and forging the director’s signature. This is what “government efficiency” looks like in practice: two guys with zero relevant experience, a keyword list built on culture war grievances, and a chatbot confidently spitting out 120-character verdicts on federal grants that went through actual review processes. The experts who might have explained what these grants actually do? Locked out. The director whose signature appeared on termination letters? Couldn’t tell you which grants got cut or w
Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"?

Isaiah Zagar made Philadelphia, and in turn the world, a more beautiful place to live. May his memory be a blessing.
Have you ever checked out this book? It gets at this idea in really cool ways, with different subjects: www.jairomoreno.org/book-2
A journey to the end of taste, and beyond! Could this be this the purest, most unencumbered expression of the Don Ellis aesthetic? (I keed, I keed.)
Truly, the 1970s were another planet.

Is @komaniecki.bsky.social disappointed that Ludacris didn’t do Roll Out in his NBA all star performance?
The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.
Probably my favorite play I’ve read but haven’t seen!
Well, the interval of a 4th does project a root an octave below the upper note, rather than projecting the lower note as a root…
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

I am a professional music theorist and can verify that this song does indeed slap. Even The Edge wish he had written it!

When my brother was in high school, he and a friend made up a story that he was going to curl at the Salt Lake City games and a bunch of parents believed him. Which shows how not real curling is :p
David Byrne duh
When are we gonna get White Lotus on a cruise, ie White Boatus?
If PDF to notation file software ever gets any better with this, that will make the transition much more feasible.
I gotta plug this anthology I made with my NYU colleagues that has a lot of typeset musical examples in MuseScore that have braille notation options: sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nyu-...
