Copland: "Billy The Kid Statements For Orchestra" (1958) (LSO, Copland cond.)
I got this at a thrift store yesterday, just because the lp cover is so crispy and new looking. Hard to believe it's 68 years old.

So much of the ICE invasion’s harm here in Minneapolis is going to be diffuse, long-term, things that faded away quietly, things that •didn’t• happen, injuries barely seen and never tallied.
Long after the media spotlight is gone, we’re going to be repairing, rebuilding, trying to catch back up, trying to heal, trying to fill the holes these months left. It’s like a whole second pandemic for us.

Ineens heeft de formatie er spelers bij: Markuszower en zijn bondgenoten | Politiek | De Gelderlander.nl
#bendevandrie die de afzwaaiers van de PVV zien als potentiële politieke vrienden...
Misschien hadden ze even naar die 4 punten van de afzwaaiers moeten kijken om te weten dat er op inhoud geen verschil zit. 🙈🙈

Logisch besluit, nu kan men op inhoudelijke punten afspraken gaan maken met GL-PvdA en anderen voor een meerderheid.

Just finished "Orsinian Tales" by Ursula K Le Guin. It's... good, but not nearly as anarchist as a lot of her other work. These are short fiction stories weaving mostly through a fictional Eastern European country during the cold war, although some stretch farther back into history.
As typical for Le Guin a bunch of male protagonists, and a few parts that might seem to excuse sexual assault, which I've always found an odd thing in Le Guin's work (the rape in "The Dispossessed" bothered me too; the lack of strong female characters in "A Wizard of Earthsea" also sticks out to me). On the other hand, I've read from an interview that she wrote "Earthsea" absolutely knowing her audience (teenage boys) and intentionally writing something that would sell, which speaks to true mastery of her craft (I think the opening of "The Word for World is Forest" demonstrates what an expert can do wielding an intimate understanding of pulp science fiction tropes with intent, for example).
In any case, she writes sublime similes and sparse characters who nevertheless seem to embody deep wisdom about the human condition. I feel that often enough just a few words or sentences in a story bear forth hefty wisdom while around them Le Guin constructs something like an austere painting in muted tones, full of rich details that one can easily miss.
