@DerekMalon14048 @rkylesmith He is focused on composing concert music now, and his recent piano concerto for Emanuel Ax was an excellent addition to the repertoire

This is the weird brand of Mamdani socialism (although Mamdani has never condoned theft). If you are really anti-capitalist, you stay away from the Whole Foods. Make your own granola! Hold a protest sign outside! This isn't anti-capitalism, it's a weird notion that I am entitled to all these extreme capitalism benefits for free.

@disclosureday All hopes dashed that the film would serve as a jarring exemplar of plausible looming encounters, seeing as the old-timey vintage instinct to show aliens as skinny-fingered green sluggish inefficient gentle monsters just keeps recurring from midcentury film grammar. #humancentric

There's something charmingly visceral about movie marquees that commit for as long as effort justifies putting lettering in place. Instead, digital signs change constantly & easily, fickle. But the art of cinema is bigger & more timeless. May this tradition @IFCCenter never die.

@adamlehodey @CityJournal Let's wait until a more fiscally responsible administration is in place before auctioning off such a priceless and non-recurring asset!

@StevenIsserlis I've always loved your interpretation of Barber with Slatkin, Steven! More such Barber-philia at: https://t.co/fJuVeOGlsH

Werner Herzog & @drsteveboyes on masterful new @docofilm "Ghost Elephants" (w/brilliant music as ever by @ernstreijseger) @IFCCenter. Favorite moment: in response to prototypical audience question "where do you get your inspiration?", "I don't believe in inspiration." #discipline

I just used this priceless tool to save a master shot in my documentary https://t.co/IC1EM8Vsvv - it's really the best available tool for noise reduction, so this is a great opportunity to up your game!

As is often the case, several things can be true at the same time:
ICE is operating within federal law when it attempts to apprehend individuals in urban environments subject to deportation. Minnesota officials show themselves to be entirely unserious when they demand that ICE leave Minnesota.
It is a bad idea for civilians to actively interfere with ICE operations, no matter how poorly handled these operations appear to be. Minnesota officials should discourage this behavior. The state and city should set up a clear protest cordon area. It is a bad idea to show up armed to a protest. That doesn't mean you don't have the right to or that you should be shot for it. It just means ... it is a bad idea.
ICE, at best, completely botched the initial contact that led to the likely preventable killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. In the latter, many armed officers should have been able to safely neutralize one suspect who was not brandishing his weapon.
Angry agents and/or badly trained agents and/or terrified agents (or all three!) can't do these jobs and shouldn't be doing them.
Trump and his surrogates are either lying or crazy or both, and they thrive on the chaos they purposely create. If you are analyzing frame by frame videos of the latest shooting or screaming that Trump is a fascist rather than looking at the bigger picture, they are winning. Whenever you are paying attention to them, they are winning. That has been true for 11 years.
The bigger picture is that Democrats and whatever uncompromised Republicans are left have to figure out: What's the immigration plan? (It can't be a 2023-4 open border; it can't be that anyone in the world with a self-identified claim to asylum is released into the country with no followup; it can't be defined by AOC and Mamdani.) What should immigration enforcement look like? What's our pitch to the American people for a secure border, swift and sure deportations of recent arrivals with no claim to be here, and for a politically acceptable level of legal immigration, including legalizing some (but not all) of the people who have been here for years already?

@nicolegelinas @yaelbt My sympathies for the biker lobby evaporated after a few times trying to get from A to B in Central Park & finding the vast & wide central throughfare is one-way only. The biker attitude culture on this is arrogant, despite so much room compared to city streets. #spandex #uptight

@archeohistories Buried and nearly hidden in this tweet is the fact that the featured photograph (which is the clickbait that gets anyone to read this) shows a theme park-like reconstruction built in the 20th century.
