The return of #dancegrading.
War Pigs has been the theme song of my Portraits of Holocaust Violence class. I’m grading a quiz about memorial architectural approaches to the Holocaust - and how these spaces may affect us. (We consider a few other, non-Holocaust memorials as well).

So many of these kinds of fun reminiscences.

I was immediately up front for both of these Pickathon shows. I recall photographing (and thus pointing out) a huge slug on the beer holder stump that Joe was using for his beer during the second (Woods Stage) show. My photos:

We've been talking about Riyadh comics taking the bag/cognitive dissonance theory/forced compliance in class. Cash reduces dissonance!
In three links sent to students only the Guardian had the guts to show how thoroughly Louis CK was cancelled.

There are comments out there about how comedians can deal with the cognitive dissonance of performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Tomorrow in Holocaust Violence we'll - as a 23 student class - walk around campus marking the perimeter of the Treblinka II extermination camp, with students stationed every 60 meters. They'll use their phones & take photos of where they are relative to fellow students.
