This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.
In other news Charlie Redmayne, the long serving CEO of HC in the UK, resigned yesterday.

As the new semester starts, I want to keep the focus on the ongoing genocide in Gaza (and US complicity in it).
Honored to have the chance to co-write this with another parent whose child was suspended from Barnard/Columbia for protest activity.

Columbia punished our kids for protesting against the genocide in Gaza. We condemn the university’s cowardice
We are the parents of students who faced disciplinary actions for pro-Palestine activism. The struggle for liberation will not end with suspensions and expulsions

Also perhaps an example of when the review is more liberated and potent than the music itself....it indeed does happen.
So glad that @pitchfork.com publishes pieces like this one by Jesse Doris, which—like the Terre Thaemlitz music under discussion—provokes thought and offers proof of free speech's power at once. End the genocide in Palestine. Support writing that tells the truth: pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.
