I especially encourage those who are underrepresented in the fields of composition/sound art/music technology to apply. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions...

@chaya-czernowin.bsky.social asked me to tag her in this reminder about this deadline for the Académie internationale de création musicale avec nouveaux media 2025 in Dijon, which is *tomorrow* for composers/sound artists/technologists and 15 June for performers: cagedijon.hpage.com/academie-202...

The gutter racism at work in the Claudine Gay situation and the craven, wholly unforgivable complicity of the NYT in the stitch up I think will go down as a shining light example of how the liberal US establishment helped pave the way for Trump’s fascism.

Those Paul Weiss has betrayed include lawyers who have worked with the firm and law professors who have steered their students there. Belonging to both groups, I feel doubly betrayed. That once great firm should back out of its Trump deal. Better late than never! www.thebulwark.com/p/disgusted-...

‘Disgusted’ and ‘Betrayed’—Legal World Shaken by Trump’s Extortion

The decision by Paul Weiss to settle with the president has sent shockwaves through the firm and the broader legal community.

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

I'd rather continue to fund the banking police (who have returned billions to consumers) rather than giving everyone a check for $2.15

Trump falsely blames DEI (MAGA dog whistle for women and people of color) as he, a white man, is President and Sean Duffy, a white man, is the Sec of Transportation and Pete Hegseth, a white man, is Secretary of Defense.

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one. Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful. Universities should treat it that way.

I am returning to Dijon this summer, for the International Academy of Musical Creation with New Media 2025. This is a great opportunity to have new work, especially multimedia, performed in a supportive environment. Applications are rolling (until 1 June): cagedijon.hpage.com/academie-202...

Professors and participants of the 2023 edition of the academy - composers and performers, including invited composer Brice Pauset - posing in a practice space with speakers, a screen and a chandelier.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

I just watched the film Conclave with a friend who said “haha imagine if real-life jobs were decided by a bunch of old dudes who don’t get to leave the room until they’ve agreed to vote for the person they dislike the least!” I didn’t have the heart to tell her about academia.

Calling the richest person in the world (who is also a massive racist and far right ideologue)’s attack on the liberal state (worker protections, civil rights, unions, food safety, social security etc) “ambitions to tame Washington’s sprawling bureaucracy” is genuinely evil. We are absolutely cooked

In 2016 the world signed the Paris Agreement to limit climate change to 1.5C. Now, 8 years on, we're already passing it. As Los Angeles burns, the cost of inaction couldn't be clearer. It's incalculable. This was never inevitable. It's a political choice. We must change course.

The Guardian. Hottest year on record sent planet past 1.5C of heating for first time in 2024.

In their coverage of the LA fires, neither the NYT Daily podcast nor the NYT Morning Newsletter addresses climate change at all. The Daily has a single throwaway mention but doesn’t actually talk about it and the newsletter just ignores it. Again, climate chaos’ central role is conspicuously absent

A city that spends more for its police than it does on firefighters and a nation that spends more for its military than it does on social services and renewable energy is now, very literally, sending us into hell.
