作曲家･武満徹(1930-96)は今日10月8日で生誕96年。今年で没後30年。
「私は、作曲という仕事を、無から有を形づくるというよりは、むしろ、既に世界に遍在する歌や、声にならない嘯きを聴き出す行為なのではないか、と考えている」

傑作『夢の引用―Say sea, take me!―』(91)↙

You mean the Mexico that has a $2 trillion economy, is America's top trading partner, and elected a woman president with a doctorate in energy engineering who served on the Nobel-winning UN climate panel? The Mexico whose scientists helped save the ozone layer, created the key compound in the birth control pill, and patented early color TV? The one with a university since 1551 that abolished slavery 36 years before the US? Yes. That Mexico is rolling out universal healthcare.

On October 8, 1967, Ernesto “Che” Guevara was captured in Bolivia. The following day, he was executed.

The CIA, 1,800 Bolivian troops, and a former Nazi needed to hunt down one man and then murdered him the very next day without a trial. They were so terrified of Che that they couldn’t even face him in a courtroom because they feared what he might say, what he might inspire. So they silenced him in the dark like the cowards they were.

But his death backfired. They thought a bullet would end him forever. Instead, they turned him into a global martyr, a symbol of resistance.

World, meet Karen Smith. She is the new school board president for Central Bucks, Pennsylvania and she needs to be celebrated. 🎉

She was sworn in on a stack of banned books instead of a Bible.

A new hero is born.

武満徹:「今の若い人は、すぐシンセでトランペットの音を作りたいとか、尺八の音を作ってみたいとかやりたがりますが、ぼくはあの心理はわからない。現実の楽器を使えばいいじゃないですか。
シンセサイザーで現実にある音を模倣するのはバカげてる。現実にない音を作るのに使うべきです」

Were we always this cruel?

[Bélgica Pelicot @Belgicadpelicot]

Vivimos en un mundo donde se juzgan a las prostitutas, pero no a sus clientes; a las madres solteras, pero no a los padres ausentes; a las víctimas de violación, pero no a los violadores; a los que denuncian, pero no a los que encubren.

En fin, hipocresía pura y dura.

Fun fact.

To be clear - if 7 Black men r*ped someone, the photos shared of them would not be professional headshots.

What happened at Cornell was just the “college version” of what happened on Epstein island. These are the men who become the Epstein class. In fact, they are nearly indistinguishable. And, just like the men in the Epstein files, other wealthy men in power stepped in to cover and protect them.

Not punishing rapists in high school and/or college because of their "promising futures" is how you get a rapist for president. Twice.

The last 24 hours of news as a woman:

- A man jacks off to the woman next to him on a plane. United makes her return to her seat.
- 7 frat boys drug and gang rape a student for hours, and advertise “free p*ssy” to their frat. Cornell makes them write essays.
- A football player rapes a student. LSU reduces his suspension.
- A teen boy stalks and stabs a girl 10 times. Courts grant only a restraining order.
- Brendan Carr spent 9 years in a cult raping teen girls. Trump made him FCC Chair.

If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.

This is why I’m Native American and vegetarian. People always wanna bring up seal hunting and shit like that when the majority of you aren’t even eating a traditional diet. You’re eating this.
