Re this post:
Back in 2012, the Minnesota Orchestra musicians went on strike over a semi-secretive plan from the board to remake the orchestra (one of the best in the world) by slashing player salaries, gutting creative direction, and turning them into a sort of pop-lite-classical easy listening machine of some kind — details very fuzzy, rationale even fuzzier.
During the dispute, a slide deck of their shadowy plan leaked. It was somewhat garbled and confusing, and missing all the key details and analysis that everyone was dying for. “What are you hiding??” the public cried, “Show us the full plan!!” “What are you talking about? We did!” “No, not just the presentation! The actual plan!”
A confused period followed during which it became clear that the slide deck •was• the full plan.
This little gaggle of the Brightest Minds of Business moonlighting on a nonprofit board thought that gutting a local institution required so little thought that when people saw the full analysis, they assumed the board must be hiding something.

I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. He was in the stall of a Shinjuku men’s room, and he tried to eat my face.
Onryō are fucked up, y’all.

Releasing a universal #Linux #kernel #exploit with very little or even no previous time to distribute a patch through distributions is not cool. Doing it on the day before a weekend - on two weekends in…

thinking about the vincent gallo roger ebert beef again

 After the Cannes premiere, a war of words erupted between Gallo and film critic Roger Ebert, with Ebert writing that The Brown Bunny was the worst film in the history of Cannes. Ebert also wrote that Sevigny "reportedly cried during the screening", a statement repudiated by both Gallo and Sevigny's publicist, Amanda Horton.

Gallo retorted by calling Ebert a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader." Paraphrasing a statement attributed to Winston Churchill, Ebert responded with, "It is tru…

Content warning: re: UKPol Starmer Resigned

Aw, he nearly cried as he gave up his job. He's lost the confidence of of the parliamentary party and say's he'll stand down.
Two year Kier they'll call him.
Looking like Burnham might be coronated without even a Labour Party MPs vote then. Just nominated unopposed.
That's probably bad for him really. Needs some kind of media spectacle in which he can lay out his plan for the country.
Maybe Streeting will step in and give us a competition.
