When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Billions cut from education budgets. Sound familiar?

People watching the student protests in France and fixating on the rioting instead of asking why the protests are happening are like gnats mesmerised by a light bulb. The students’ core demands are incredibly basic. That’s what should be amplified, addressed and resolved.

I'm asking for a wealthy patron to get a Hollywood editor to trim this to a minute. Please buy air time and pay for it to be run on Fox, and maybe for the final second, a shot of Trump's flying palace.

CHP harassed and reported Indivisible Santa Barbara members to the FBI for holding up 8647 signs on the 101 overpass yesterday. This is governmental intrusion on First Amendment protected Freedom of Speech. The signs went back up and will go back up

share.google932 reactions · 30 comments | A seminal film in the canon of surrealist cinema, Un Chien Andalou (An Andalusian Dog) is a 1929 French silent short film directed by Luis Buñuel, and written by Buñuel and Salvador Dalí. The film has no plot in the conventional sense. It unfolds through dream logic and Freudian free association. The screenplay was based on two dreams shared by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí. At the time, Buñuel was working in France as an assistant director to Jean Epstein. One day, he told Dalí about a dream in which a cloud sliced the moon “like a razor blade through an eye.” Dalí replied that he had dreamed of a hand crawling with ants. “There’s the film — let’s go and make it,” Buñuel declared. The script was written in just a few days. Buñuel made clear throughout his writings that, between Dalí and himself, the only rule for the writing of the script was: “No idea or image that might lend itself to a rational explanation of any kind would be accepted.” He also stated: “Nothing, in the film, symbolizes anything. The only method of investigation of the symbols would be, perhaps, psychoanalysis.” For years, the animal used in the infamous eye-slicing scene was disputed. Buñuel later confirmed it was a calf’s eye. Through the use of intense lighting and bleaching of the calf’s skin, he attempted to make the dead animal’s furry face look more like human skin. The first screening of the film took place at Studio des Ursulines. Notable attendees of the première included Pablo Picasso, Le Corbusier, Jean Cocteau, Christian Bérard and Georges Auric, in addition to the entirety of André Breton’s Surrealist group. The audience’s positive reception of the film amazed Buñuel, who was relieved that no violence ensued. Dalí, on the contrary, was reportedly disappointed, feeling that the audience’s reaction made the evening “less exciting”. Buñuel later claimed that prior to the show, he had put stones in his pockets “to throw at the audience in case of disaster.” #art #artist #cinema #surrealism | Artist FlameA seminal film in the canon of surrealist cinema, Un Chien Andalou (An Andalusian Dog) is a 1929 French silent short film directed by Luis Buñuel, and written by Buñuel and Salvador Dalí.

“DON’T PANIC,” RIGHT? Fine. Don’t panic. ORGANIZE. 📌 A USPS whistleblower is warning the mail-ballot system could face “catastrophic failure” before the midterms. Make your voting plan now. Vote early, in person, or use a secure drop box. Don’t leave your vote to chance.

Election have consequences. Some voters were duped. Some voters are ignorant, racist white trash who lynch people. Their “Don” cult leader is right know executing plans to steal the next election and if he’s successful we’ll be looking at years of dictatorship. Protect the polls or we’re sunk.

Trump is driven by some bizarre egotism that has been successfully weaponized by Vladimir Putin. Trump is either his useful idiot or a willing participant. Putin can induce him with tutelage of how to steal billions from a dominated country. We must resist.

Musk should add that amount to his social security payment. He pays roughly the same maximum into Social Security as an ordinary worker making $184,500 (the 2026 maximum cap) because wage caps completely exempt earnings above that amount. That cap can be changed with a Democrat win in November.

Elon Musk is planning to spend up to $200 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.024% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.
