Sometimes I help get people out of jail; sometimes I study music.
With the later works, there's a wealth of extraordinary and diverse recordings. (Seriously - the performances of 29-32 here are revelatory, and I hadn't heard them at all before today.)

Spotify makes you scroll quite a bit before you find ANY recordings by women. The current version of this playlist is about 1/3 women, largely because almost all the complete sets are recorded by the boys. It was especially tough to find recordings of the pre-1800 sonatas by women.

Eh I don't mind. We all dislike Nazis, we're just quibbling over methods and definitions. And honestly, in this case its less about being a historian, and more about remembering what my great uncles said about WW2. I'm proud of them for fighting. I just wish they didn't have to.

Deleted accidentally - oops. I'm actually not concerned with celebration or mourning; my point is to keep your eye on the political goal, i.e. his crowd. Turn his crowd, and he no longer matters. Assassinate him and his crowd matters.

Also - history teaches us that a shooting war with the fascists comes with high costs. I think there are more effective forms of resistance.

Ugh no. And this is exactly what I mean. If you celebrate his death, you empower his crowd, which only amplifies his message. This doesn't help anyone.

Given this, I'd question the efficacy of political violence as a means of political change, especially as compared to Gandhian non-violent non-cooperation.

I wish I could have debated Charlie Kirk. I will continue non-violent resistance to his movement.
