In completely useless news, SALEM got the sample rights to whatever recording of Prokofiev they used on Capulets because it's back on streaming.

Extremely excited for this new project from @kayandskittles.bsky.social, who is better equipped to bring the research of historians to a broader audience than just about anyone I know.

Eggers is beloved by many (myself included, as HV listeners surely know), but what those who grapple with his work often miss is his unique filmic historiography, "a kind of afflicted obsession with making-real the mythologies of human thinking."

Belatedly read Capitalism: A Horror Story by Jon Greenaway and he has this line about "becoming monstrous to the monsters"--identify what the actual monsters in our society abhor and embrace it

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:of56nmyuqzvjta7qlf7gwht6/bafkreigd4ytwxolisa7hyct6pyoprf6vqdzvyevq44rtyv4zjeurlw3uii@jpeg)

After reporting the news, games media must now grapple with what the call to boycott Xbox means for us. I wrote about why we must and how we can orient games writing towards liberation. Games nor words alone will save us, but we can as individuals express solidarity and possibility in all we do.
Games media can't ignore BDS Xbox boycott

I went to Gay Nerd Town, USA and everyone there was literally in love with you. They said it's because you have kind eyes.

Hatred for Boston City Hall is for the weak willed, for those who dare to stand in front of concrete majesty and say "but it doesn't have columns 👶😢" Okay then go to DC, the imperial core of shitty antique revivalism, the metropole of ugly reactionary aesthetic.

An extended reflection on Hoop's stellar early work. I feel like we barely broke the surface on this one, but I picked it, so ive bias. We hardly got to even mention his work on the Peter Paul and Mary tour documentary!
