For our symposium on "The Forever War and the First Amendment," @knightcolumbia.org and @harpers.bsky.social co-commissioned this essay from @harikunzru.bsky.social about art and censorship after 9/11. It's really good, and I'm hoping Hari will turn it into a book. harpers.org/archive/2026...

A modern remake of Amadeus set in the late 90s, where Salieri poisons Mozart after seeing a display of ”NOW that’s what I call repertoire” CDs that are entirely operas by Mozart

“more amiable environment” - i don’t think these checkpoints have ever been remotely amiable. i don’t think making the people staffing them stand for their whole shift is going to help. also +1 to all the replies ID’ing this requirement as a way to scooch out disabled/older staff

for men confused as to why discussion of the cornell case is particularly despairing about men’s actions - there isn’t another secular example clearer than frats as to how socially acceptable masculinity is built on sexual violence, domination, and humiliation

that I regularly see Ciani on bills and somehow i can't get a Wendy Carlos concert at all when I know that room would be packed.

billy gomberg @billygomberg.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

something I am uh sparkling clear about is that Wendy Carlos' soundtrack music is one of a few essential, early touchstones for me as a listener, much less a musician. something like Sonic Seasonings is incredible.

CA keeps failing to pass anything that could have a material impact on the ruling class. Rent control, ending prison slavery, gig worker protections, prop 13 reform. We physically cannot knock on enough doors to compete with the blizzard of mailers and media buys, nor the “liberal” cachet behind it.

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.

i think creating situations where people have to negotiate their sexual orientation and gender identity with public fora of strangers who aren't personally invested in their well-being is bad, actually, and we are not harmed by the complexity of people's internal sense of self and labels
