Quoting Moshe Ya'alon (Former IDF Chief of Staff and Defense Minister): "We're being dragged into occupation, annexation, ethnic cleansing. Look at northern Gaza. Transfer - call it what you want. And settlement, Jewish settlement, that's the issue."
Ya'alon stated in an interview with Lucy Aharish on Democrat TV that Israel is being dragged into ethnic cleansing in #Gaza. Speaking about the current situation, Ya'alon explicitly described the systematic emptying of northern Gaza's Palestinian population, stating "there is no Beit Lahia, no Beit Hanoun, they're operating in Jabalia, and essentially clearing the area of Arabs."
He emphasized that this is being done to establish Jewish settlements, adding that according to polls, two-thirds of Israeli society supports both a liberal Jewish state and separation from Palestinians. Ya'alon warned that "whoever is trying to confuse us is leading us to nothing less than destruction."

Soundtrack, Pop RockSome great (and, um, interesting) tracks on this compilation of Beatles tunes. It's a who's who of 70's music; some are totally on their game, and others... not quite sure.
The ones I enjoy most seem to be tunes that remain faithful to the original, yet bring the artists own style to elevate it. Rod Stewart bashing out Get Back = awesome. Elton John's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is a classic in its own right.
A few are great and innovative -- Hey Jude as a Gospel / Blues anthem (Brothers Johnson), and Keith Moon's take on When I'm Sixty Four was unexpectedly sweet.
So far (I'm on side three now), the music's familiar, many of the tunes comfortable and enjoyable -- and for a record fair acquisition, worth the $5 price of admission.

I'm going to see Julie Taymor’s “Across the Universe" this evening at The Brattle:
https://brattlefilm.org/movies/across-the-universe/
"A phantasmagoric musical based on and featuring the music of The Beatles, Julie Taymor’s wild ACROSS THE UNIVERSE stars Jim Sturgess as a British youth in the U.S. who falls in love with a woman named Lucy (Wood) and together they experience the turbulent history of American during the 1960s.”

@davidpnice @beecycling They're using every euphemism they can thugs, louts, scallywags, using minimising language rather than call it what it is far right nationalism & domestic terrorism.
I assume Keir knows about those powers?
Either way it's a disgusting display of hatred & stochastic terrorism.
I want to express my deepest sympathy to those who lost their children & yet without being disrespectful to those who lost loved ones to the people below. The vile racists didn't start throwing bricks at neonatal clinics after Lucy Letby, GP surgeries after Shipman or Met police stations after Wayne Cousins. Why is that?
What did these monsters have in common? White & English.
Almost like they don't care about the victims of crime at all & in fact want to terrify some of the most vulnerable people in the world for pure sadism.
I think we need to pressure the government to enact anti-terrorism laws.

I have the boxset of The Shannara Chronicles, another one of these series they keep disappearing from the streaming services. It features two absolutely great actresses: Ivana Baquero and (from season two) Melise. Both are utterly cool here, which is sort of what this show is about.
Ivana was the little girl in Pan's Labyrinth and also as an adult she impresses a lot. Melise is an actress and singer who previously played 'rock chick' Lucy Stone in Big Time Rush. I was playing one of her songs just today.
Starting my rewatch of the show now.

Telly Alert - #LucyWorsley on Conan Doyle and his creation, #SherlockHolmes - haven't watched it yet, but her series on Agatha Christie was brilliant. (Like her other stuff!)
"The ultimate power struggle between the greatest detective who never lived and the writer who came to resent him. Lucy Worsley explores an extraordinary love-hate relationship."

Other bands I liked: Midnight Audience were very atmospheric, La Femme played a sort of genre-straddling pop with four keyboards, a theremin, guitars, live drums and a panache only the French could pull off, and Sex Beat closed out the festival with blistering, propulsive punk. I didn’t think as much of Die Verlierer, who sounded like a fairly generic punk rock. Unfortunately, I missed some of the earlier bands, including an Icelandic group named Virgin Orchestra who sounded interesting, and most of Lucy Kruger’s set.
Anyway, #Synästhesie was fun; hopefully I’ll be back again next year. 2/2

Kaija Saariaho’s opera Innocence is an ardent plea against looking away
Kaija Saariaho (1952-2023), who died last summer, created a haunting masterpiece with Innocence, her fifth and last opera. It is an ardent plea against looking away, captivating for the full one hundred and forty-five minutes, providing much food for thought. The audience at the Amsterdam Opera rightly rewarded the Dutch premiere with stormy applause.
(c) Dutch National Opera / Marco BorggreveJust as we have looked away from Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians for decades and are surprised when their frustration erupts into an apocalyptic outbreak of violence, so too the bystanders of the school shooting in Innocence ignore the many signs that something was wrong with the young perpetrator.
The father confesses to having taught his son ‘to shoot like a man’ from childhood; the priest recounts how the boy enjoyed the death throes of a bird he had poisoned himself; the teacher recalls his fascination with serial killers, while his younger brother (the groom) watched him steal their father’s gun from the locked safe. None of them spoke out, so the massacre (referred to as ‘the tragedy’) could have been prevented.
As the survivors in Sofi Oksanen’s rock-solid libretto bitterly observe: we react collectively shocked at a bloody act and politicians publicly promise to take action, but their interest fades as soon as the headlines highlight other tragedies. In the end, nothing happens. Indeed, those who remain must learn to remain silent, learn not to remember: – ‘Until the next shooting.’
The story is set in 2000, during Tuomas and Stela’s wedding. Waitress Tereza replaces a sick colleague and, to her horror, recognises the family of her daughter Markéta’s killer. Tereza acts as the opera’s lynchpin. She confronts her customers about the misdeeds of their son and brother and reveals the family secret to the bride.
Chloe Lamford’s revolving, two-storey set artfully switches between the dining wedding guests and the classrooms where the shooting took place ten years earlier. The victims squirm across the floor, seeking bleeding cover in the toilets, in the corridors or under the tables.
Meanwhile, the survivors recount how their traumatic experience still defines their lives. One dares not sit with his back to a door, another makes distorted movements and yet another experiences ringing church bells as funerals: ‘There were too many of them.’
The title Innocence is well chosen, as innocence turns out to be an elastic concept. At first, the mother-in-law even claims that her son did not know what he was doing, while his friend Iris reveals that together they had spent a year carefully planning the massacre. She herself dropped out the night before.
As the opera proceeds, ever more chilling pieces of the puzzle fall into place. For instance, Tereza’s angelic daughter Markéta turns out to have bullied the murderer terribly, the schoolchildren spread naked images of him on the internet and the survivors only brought themselves to safety. Towards the end, Tuomas even confesses that he knew about his brother’s plans. He had wanted to take part in them, but was too cowardly to pull the trigger. Still he looks up to him: ‘I loved my brother, I love him still.’
Saariaho wrote shimmering music that keeps shifting colour. She builds an ominous atmosphere out of layers of elongated lines, from which short melodic motifs flare up. At moments of fear and dismay, she unleashes a turmoil of dissonant brass, boisterous percussion and jazzy rhythms, which unfortunately do not always come across flawlessly. Nor does Saariaho hesitate to (almost) completely silence the orchestra in more reflective passages. For instance, Tuomas sings a cappella of his love for his older brother.
Throughout the opera, the choir weaves a subtle, barely audible lament of wordless cantilenas, sometimes devolving into a desperate reiteration of the names of the victims. The Choir of Dutch National Opera shines in this role, sung from the wings. The soloists, too, are generally well cast and partly the same as at the world premiere in Aix-en-Provence in 2021.
Markéta (Vilma Jää) & Tereza (Jenny Carlstedt) (c) Marco BorggreveFinnish-Swedish Jenny Carlstedt dazzles as Tereza, making her pain palpable with her warm mezzo and strong acting. Finnish Vilma Jäa, in her schoolgirl dress, is the personification of the angel her mother sees in Markéta. However, the girl expresses her dark side in chillingly piercing vocals familiar from Slavic and Karelian folk music. Thomas Oliemans is also strong in his role of father-in-law, against which Markus Nykänen stands out somewhat pale as the groom.
Equally impressive are the mostly spoken roles of the survivors. Rowan Kievits gives a poignant portrayal of Student 4 with his distorted movements and truncated German phrases, while British alto Lucy Shelton impresses with her fragile Sprechgesang as the teacher who stops teaching out of guilt. Truly superior is French-Cameroonian Julie Hega in her role of Iris. With her walk in slow-motion, her penetrating gaze and snake-like hissing speech, she seems like evil incarnate; meanwhile, she holds up a merciless moral mirror to the others.
Despite the ink-black scenario, there is some hope in the epilogue. Student 4 thinks he can start a new life in another country; student 5 notes with surprise that for the first time he was not afraid to sit with his back to a door and Stela (a wonderful Lilian Farahani) decides to marry Tuomas after all, defying his conviction that she will always see his brother in him. Deeply moving is the final scene where Karméta begs her mother to stop buying her birthday presents and finally let her go.
With Innocence, director Simon Stone and Dutch National Opera have put on a top production that deserves to be heard and seen many more times.

We could have a Supreme Court judicial ethics policy with teeth if Biden would just go ahead pack the court. It’s entirely within his power. Don’t think the Republicans will hesitate for a second to expand the court the moment they lose the majority and have the Presidency back in hand. They’ve already blocked Judicial nominations from Democrat presidents. They will go further.The GOP’s promises mean absolutely nothing, as they have proven time and time again. Democrats have to learn that they can’t make deals with people who don’t act in good faith. Lucy isn’t going to leave that football on the ground, Charlie Brown!
The Democratic Party needs to stop using the terrible, corrupt, and horrifically damaging SC decisions for election fodder, and actually fix the problem. They have the power.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The Narnia books by C.S. Lewis were a staple of childhood back when & where I grew up and feature a set of siblings from the Pevensie family: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. In the freaky final book (The Last Battle, which borrows much of it's themes from the book of Revelation) the siblings return to Narnia with the exception of Susan, who is described as being "interested in nothing now-a-days except nylons and lipstick and invitations". Lots of people feel this was somewhat harsh on Susan who should be allowed to live her life how she feels fit regardless of what magical lions might think. Among these people is a famous scifi/fantasy author who wrote a short story called "The Problem of Susan" on the topic. Who is the author?

The grinches among us—present company included—complain every year about how soon is too soon to be playing #Christmas music and much of the Christmas music itself. (Much eye-rolling is involved.) But, I must confess, they could start playing this one the day after Halloween all the way thru January and you would not hear a peep out of me. Not only is it not Christmas for yours truly without it, it also brings back fond memories of my Blockbuster Video days around this time of year and this playing on constant rotation.
Oh, and yeah: it inspired all kinds of people to further discover jazz, including Stu Hamm (whose solo electric bass version of “Linus and Lucy” is simply breathtaking); #CharlieBrownChristmas is in the Grammy Hall of Fame; was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library Congress; and is the tenth best-selling Christmas/holiday album of the SoundScan era. A timeless classic indeed.

[content note: mention of lynching, sexualized harm, and murder of a child]
Another fact:
Yes, that Julia Ward Howe. Writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Which was an appropriation of John Brown's Body, a communally-created song in honor of an abolitionist who opposed slavery by shooting people.
"Women are stripped to the skin in the presence of leering, white-skinned, black-hearted brutes and lashed into insensibility and strangled to death from the limbs of trees. A girl child of fifteen years was lynched recently by these brutal bullies. Where has justice fled? The eloquence of Wendell Phillips is silent now. John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave. But will his spirit lie there moldering, too? Brutes, inhuman monsters—you heartless brutes—you whom nature forms by molding you in it, deceive not yourselves by thinking that another John Brown will not arise." – Lucy Parsons, 1892
