This takedown of @nytimes.com music critics is FANTASTIC. To be clear, you can still critique music without having all the music training but the Times folks are gross.

A Thoughtful TDG Critic
I like it when Medium readers point out things wrong with the TDG. It gives me an opportunity to interact with them:

This does not happen often.

A quotation from Richard Steele
It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor. This makes him earnest upon Trifles; and dispute on the most indifferent Occasions with vehemence.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician

"In 1976, deep in #NewYorkCity’s fiscal crisis, the #artist #MierleLadermanUkeles read a review of her conceptual work in the Village Voice. In his review, #critic #DavidBourdon made a radical suggestion inspired by #Ukeles’ thesis: What if #municipalwork, like the #Sanitation Department, were #conceptualart? Could it get funded by grants, instead of by the city?
Ukeles presented the idea to Sanitation Department commissioner #AnthonyTVaccarello, who invited her to create #art for 10,000 sanitation #workers. The job would be unpaid. And, it turns out, she would keep it for nearly 50 years and counting.
Now 86, Ukeles is the subject of the #documentary #film “#MaintenanceArtist” directed by #Jewish #filmmaker #TobyPerlFreilich, which made its #NewYork #theatricalrelease last week at the #IFCTheater in #GreenwichVillage.
The title refers to Ukeles’ 1969 #manifesto, which declared that the everyday activities often relegated to women[...] were “#maintenanceart.”

"#Writer, #critic, #cultural #commentator, #polyglot, and multilingual #translator #IlanStavans is very clear about his #Jewish heritage: His grandparents had been #Shtetl-dwellers in Eastern #Europe, in #Poland and the #Ukraine, and moved to #Mexico between 1919 and 1929 to flee #poverty, #antisemitism, and #pogroms. #Stavans was born in #MexicoCity in 1961 to an #Ashkenazi family.
This certitude differentiates Stavans from many of the characters in #ElIluminado, a #graphicnovel in #English and #Spanglish that Stavans co-#wrote with #illustrator and writer #SteveSheinkin. In the #book, some of the characters are crypto-#Jews and are not entirely sure of, but suspect or deny, their Jewish heritage.
El Iluminado was first published in 2012 by Basic #Books/Hachette. The University of #NewMexico Press republished it in March , because “the story is about #SantaFe and New Mexico, and is of this community,” says #UNM Press Director Stephen Hull."

A Thoughtful TDG Critic
I joined Medium in 2019. I used to get some interest in my alternative democracy. Then Joe Biden won the 2020 election. USA was saved: there was no need to investigate an alternative democracy.
In 2023, a Medium writer offered some commentary on the TDG. The first interest in three years:

Last fall, I got four such commentaries. Check out the FAQ section on my website.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
He that applauds him who does not deserve praise, is endeavoring to deceive the public; he that hisses in malice or sport, is an oppressor and a robber.

SCENE: INTERIOR, HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION OFFICE, RUN-DOWN. MONDAY MORNING.
Executive Assistant: Hey, Brett?
Director: Morning, Jennifer. What have you got for me?
EA: Well, we have the opening weekend numbers.
D: And?
EA: They're ... mixed. There's some bright spots overseas. Australia did fifty.
D: Fifty million?
EA: Uh, no. Fifty. Fifty tickets.
D: All weekend? The whole country?
EA: Ya. I know.
D: You said there were some bright spots, though?
EA: That was a bright spot. It was worse elsewhere.
D: How can it be worse than 50 tickets for a whole country?
EA: Well, some open-source intelligence type people on the 'net proved that almost every single ticket sold in the UK was to a movie reviewer, because we wouldn't give them advanced access to it.
D: "Almost"? So at least a few regular folks bought tickets?
EA: ... maybe. Those were tickets where no-one showed at the theatre, so they couldn't determine if it was film critics or not.
D: Damn. How were the reviews?
EA: Uh, let's just say "not good" and leave it at that for a bit.
D: ... Okay. Well, how about here at home? Surely we sold some tickets here, at least in MAGA states? What's the news here in the good ol' USA?
EA: The Director's Guild took out a hit on you.

Based on my 2025 Twitter activity, an AI put together a profile of me from my posts and ended with this prediction:
Money
In 2026, you’re finally going to monetize your passion: a festival is going to pay you 8,500 CHF to be a programmer. Your reviews will become so influential that three distributors will offer you exclusive previews.Love Life
You’re going to fall in love with a director you meet at the Berlinale in February. Your first date will be a four-and-a-half-hour screening of an experimental Georgian film. It’s weird, but it’ll work.
