Great discussion from you and Julia on Friday and then again today. Thank you!

Thanks for all this helpful info. I also saw (too late) that you had already shared some of this in other posts, so thanks for being patient with me. 😊 Writing my complaint to the city now …

Do you happen to have handy which bylaws this violated? For the complaint form … I can look them up, but it sounds like you already have that info! Thanks.

Implied criticism is a good start! Now I hope you'll put more teeth into it--it really matters. I say this in the context of praise for your excellent segment on the AUSL, interviews w A. Stephenson & R. Srinivasan, etc. You & JK are pushing the boundaries in good and important ways: thank you.

Great link! Building on this with 2 more recs: Soundtrack to a Coup d'État, about how musicians were used against Patrice Lumumba, and an article by Anna Nekola on Ford Foundation et al. bringing internat'l musicians to the U.S. as part of Cold War strategy: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Just to be clear, for anyone just glancing at the headline, it's satire. "The Beaverton" is Canada's answer to "The Onion."

That's what I was afraid of …

So are they fighting back? Duke has MORE than enough money to sue the administration à la Harvard. Or are they just going to take it without a fight?

Thanks for the shout-out! 😍

Agreed. As for search, I just signed up for a year of Kagi. So far, so good--like Google back in the day, when you actually got the thing you had searched for without bs or cruft. DuckDuckGo is a good alternative for those who can't pay $100/year to get out of enshittified search engines.
