Is there a word for being music illiterate?

Rage Against The Machine is a bad band for many reasons but chief among them is that if your message is misinterpreted quite so often maybe that's because you expressed it really ineptly

@OsitaNwanevu But doesn’t know the difference between a concubine and a catamite.

I get it. I understand the ire.
The assumption that these two Black women represent genocide is more about this belief that Black women only exist to serve and be subservient to others. That they should always work to "heal" and not allowed to be complicated, imperfect beings.

🚨HAPPENING NOW: In the largest known boycott of "Israeli" cultural institutions, a coalition of writers, publishers, literary festival laborers, and book workers are refusing to work with Zionist literary institutions––and have invited the publishing world to join them.

Would love to know why they thought sending this clown to Michigan was a great idea

Harris campaign surrogate Richie Torres in Michigan today bragging about Harris' rejection of the uncommitted campaign 👍👍 https://t.co/lbbMthftNy

[surplus values microblog @surplus_values]

these aren’t the sound bites, though, because the Democrats—least of all Harris’s campaign—actually care about any of these things

[Matt Karp 🌹🦏🇺🇸 @karpmj]

We also found that strong populist soundbites -- attacking billionaires, calling to expand Medicare -- won Harris more working-class support than any other message, including a defense of abortion or a promise of border security

“Hidden rooms of gold” was a standard antisemitic trope in 19th century literature. These guys don’t forget a fucking thing!

I never in my life have seen anything remotely close to this; soldiers publicly boasting about committing biblical tier of war crimes live under the eye of the sun while the international community is scrambling to preserve their emotional dignity from unarmed protesters.

[Thea Riofrancos @triofrancos]

October 7 is both the “first” *and* “most” tragic event. And the Middle East has “always” been “difficult” and will “never be easy.”

With brutal efficiency, Harris condenses racialized hierarchy, false periodization, weaponization of complexity, and disavowal of US complicity.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza in an attempt to starve out Hamas militants, a plan that could trap hundreds of thousands of Palestinians without food or water. https://t.co/6uzqEgQOwV
