"The Comedians” is a work of fiction, but Salnave Philippe-Auguste was very much a real painter. Born in 1908, he was a self-taught lawyer who later served as a magistrate in Haiti’s judicial system. Of course, many professionals dabble in creative hobbies to relieve the stresses of a day job.

Cover reveal. It's about how & why colonies/states controlled international & domestic migration until 1888, why in the late 19th c the feds took over, & what it was like for politically disfavored groups to live under that arrangement of power. You can't understand voluntary migration history 1/

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

🎇 🎆 19:00 in Naples, Capodanno, new year celebrations have started already.
I brought the drones to record the midnight fireworks. "The city explodes at midnight" I'm told.
I've a good spot in the centre by Piazza Nazionale.
Tune in again in 4.5hrs...!

Apparently this is a Rosca de Reyes, which seems to be similar in tradition to a King Cake for a Latin American families. And if you get the Baby you have to host a party for everyone later.

I'm not looking to defend carceral policies in the Jim Crow south, or American gun culture in general.
Just saying that if a young boy had not fired a pistol in the air, on New Year's Eve long ago, the world's musical heritage may have turned out very differently indeed.
