On his birthdays, when someone would wish him a happy birthday, my Opa (a survivor of the concentration camps) would say “thanks! I lived a lot longer than Hitler wanted me to.” He lived all the way until a couple of years ago.

To hell with Hitler, to hell with Nazis.

TREMENDOUSLY excited about my next album, to be released this August 1!

Uncovered works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, with Curtis Stewart and the National Philharmonic

S.C-T would have turned 150 this August, let’s celebrate his birthday together!

More info to come! @avierecords.bsky.social

Gets in car. Turns on John Adams. The woodblock starts to pulse.

Only the slanted writing reminds me roughly of the angle of that tower. Maybe it’s a stretch

And shaped like the Olympic stadium tower in Montreal (I always figured)

Saint Saens 2 is an excellent choice if for no other reason than it calls for the use of the Sostenuto pedal, exceptionally rare. Making use of the whole instrument

Trump Admin clearly drawing their legal theory from Barry Zuckercorn from “Arrested Development” with this “international waters” crap.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

It’s Gb, Sam

Excellent!

GOP: Fentanyl is coming across the border. So we are going to make absolutely everything that everyone buys more expensive. We are going to make it especially hard to buy food. This will solve the fentanyl problem.

Anyone who is saying or has said “they won’t *actually* infringe on women’s rights, on transgender rights, on social security, on Medicare, on x, y, z” should TAKE A SEAT and read some history books.

Did you know that only 10% of the world’s Music Directors are women? #purplebaton

NH has the 2nd highest vanity plate usage per capita, behind only my state of Virginia. You’re not imagining it!

Can anyone point to a single thing that McConnell did in his 40 Senate years that will be regarded as helping Americans who aren’t worth more than 7 figures? Genuinely curious

Millions of people screaming out a music theory pun all together twice this week

“a minoooorrrrrrrr”

Love to see it

Under Stalin, the composer Shostakovich, labeled by the gov’t as an “enemy of the people,” slept in the stairway of his apartment building.

He was sure the gov’t would come one night to kidnap him, and he didn’t want the commotion to wake his family.

This post is about Trump & the Kennedy Center.

Chappell Roan is a champion. Hero.

This is probably super good

Seems fine that, on the eve of taking power, the new administration now has some precedent to say that any speech/speech methods/platforms it deems as threatening to “national security” can now be suppressed

I protest!
