'it’s about people who believe in peace versus people who believe in war.'
#art #history: in a sad coincidence, brian eno celebrates his 77th year as we honour the victims of the 1948 nakba. i'm sure it's a bittersweet time for him, as he's for many years been using his considerable platform to speak up, stand up & show up for palestinians.
his integrity makes his musical genius all the sweeter.
your oblique strategy? be more eno.

I am unimpressed by NYU’s performative yawp. The student’s statement was brief and restrained. There is a long history of such statements in graduation speeches. The matter spoken of is historic and catastrophic. The crowd’s response was largely positive. /1

"The Qatar PM was asked about Trump’s Palace in the Sky jet: “Unfortunately, I see this story is taking a different direction and it’s being politicized while it’s a normal government to government deal. It's basically part of a cooperation that we have been doing together between Qatar and the US.”
… Maybe it’s normal for Qatar. It’s not normal for the US."

"A Good, Reckless Adventure of an Old Crazy Woman"

Somewhere in a remote town named Austin, an old crazy woman goes off on an unpaved road, and almost get stuck in the mud. No one else around, and it's out-of-this-world beautiful.

The newly appointed head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency acknowledged in private meetings that with two weeks to go until hurricane season, the agency doesn’t yet have a fully formed disaster-response plan.
#David #Richardson, who previously served as a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security
-- and doesn’t have a background in emergency management,
told staff he would share a hurricane plan with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after he completes it late next week.
He said Thursday he’s 80% to 85% done with the plan.

The Nakba didn’t end in 1948—it has been ongoing. From the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians to the genocide of Gaza, from bulldozed villages to bombed hospitals, from refugee tents in Ramla to refugee tents in Rafah. What we’re witnessing today is the same campaign of erasure, carried out by Israel since the beginning.

What happened to the billions invested into Gaza? Billions and Billions? in Oct 2023 the people of Israel broke. They really meant No More. Never again would Jews accept being attacked as something they must endure on a daily basis. Why hasn’t Egypt, UAE, Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia accepted refugees? Why aren’t they rattling the sabers at Israel? They are strangely quiet are they not?
Israel has much to answer for but peace was always on the table.

💡 Why we need lisp machines
｢ They were programmed in lisp the whole way down and could be run code interpreted for convenience or compiled to microcode for efficiency. You could open up system functions in the editor, modify and compile them while the machine was running. Everything worked in a single address space, programs could talk to each other in ways operating systems of today couldn’t dream of ｣
I'll have a crack at trying to learn some basic Lisp programming, via uLisp and a microcontroller. To my limited knowledge, this feels *like* having a Lisp machine, also pretty cool, so it's a hook to at least take a first step.

The image shows a digital interface with a light blue sky and white clouds as the background. The main focus is a white rectangular box labeled "Articles" with a hand cursor icon pointing to it. Inside the box, there are four article cards displayed in a grid format. The first card on the left has a black and white striped pattern with the title "What is quality anymore?" The second card features a black background with white diagonal lines and the title "How to get more attention to your...". The third card has a red background with a black circle and two red hearts, with the title "I will never ask you to do anything I would...". The fourth card is partially visible and has a white background with a gray icon. Below the grid, there are two additional cards: one with the title "In-Depth: The Classic" and another with the title "DICE Conference +". The interface has a sidebar on the left labeled "my mind" with a profile picture icon.

Mid evening light & shadow will always be my favorite. Also that sunroom clearly gets the best afternoon light.

The image shows a dish served in a white bowl with a green rim. The dish consists of a green puree, likely made from peas, as indicated by the visible green peas mixed in. On top of the puree, there are slices of pink meat, possibly pork, with a herb crust. The meat is garnished with shredded white cheese, adding a contrasting texture and color. To the side, there are roasted vegetables, including fennel and possibly leeks, with a slightly charred appearance, suggesting they have been roasted to enhance their flavor. The overall presentation is visually appealing, with a balance of colors and textures.
