I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction. It’s abuser behaviour.

"UM's endowment climbed $2 billion to a market value of $21.2 billion during the past fiscal year." And yet, staff are still being laid off due to federal cuts. Many of us haven't seen measurable pay increases to match the cost of living in years When will this university invest in its employees?

Three people I’ve know for over a decade died in the last week. A fourth called me out of the blue in distress. I turned 37 on Monday. Things are not okay.

I hate that this is where I’ve landed, but it turns out that the world is just irredeemably bad, and the best you can do is toil endlessly at the sisyphean task of making it a tiny bit better

my scalding hot take is that the flute album is significantly, laughably better than the piano album -- but the flute album was never really a flute album in the first place, and that misnomer is the genesis of this whole debacle

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

with the vast majority of musical artists i adore, i have no idea what they're going to sound like from project to project. i absolutely love that the spirit behind the work is ever present, even if the sounding of that spirit can manifest in all sorts of different ways. this is what i'm after 1/3

If you ask me how I’m doing and I answer “fine,” please know that that’s almost certainly a lie. At any moment I am consumed by a cocktail of rage, grief, ecstasy, sorrow, or profound gratitude — or, I’m disassociating, because it’s all just too much to take all at once
