this is incredible
A dream come true: film footage of Simon Barere on TV in 1950 has surfaced and it's extraordinary. He plays an abridged version of the Gounod-Liszt Faust Waltz with his legendary dazzling technique & great lyricism - and the unmoving face of Horowitz, Moiseiwitsch & other greats. Link in comments!

Yes really — the “we asked this guy. He doesn’t actually know jack shit but he’s rich” model of reportage really needs to go
theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

Few people care about this, I know. It's just another way that Black people are USED to grow the prison industrial complex by claiming that we do mainly want more cops. No nuance ever. Just more cops.
Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.
He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.
