Hot off the presses, new double CD of Michael Finnissy’s pieces for clarinet solo, and for clarinet and piano, and a little bonus just for piano because why not. Title is Runnin’ Wild, cover photo is Eadweard Muybridge’s Running at Full Speed, an β€˜Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movement’, the animal in this case being a chap who seems to have just remembered where he left his clothes and wishes to be reunited with them post haste.

He Denounced the Gaza War at Graduation. N.Y.U. Withheld His Diploma.

As NYU faculty, do you support the university withholding the diploma of Logan Rozos who spoke out about Israel's killing of over 46,000 Palestinians in Gaza?

Mexico City bans violent bullfighting, sparking fury and celebration Mexico City lawmakers have voted to ban violent bullfighting in the capital. The decision Tuesday spurred fury among bullfighters in the city and celebrations among animal rights advocates.

I witnessed a bullfight in Mexico when I was a child. Then, as now, I felt it was gory, stupid, and incredibly cruel. This darkly inhumane practice must be banished everywhere.

NYU Demands Law Students Renounce Protests or Be Barred From Sitting Final Exams NYU law students organized a peaceful Gaza protest. The school demanded they renounce protests or they can’t sit their final exams.

Barring NYU law students from sitting for exams unless they agree not to engage in "protest activity"? This seems antithetical to the intellectual freedom that universities are supposed to cherish. Curious about your thoughts as a member of the NYU faculty. #AskPreet theintercept.com/2025/05/03/n...

Letter of termination for our grant, reading β€œThe NEA is updating its grantmaking policy priorities to focus funding on projects that reflect the nation's rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President. Consequently, we are terminating awards that fall outside these new priorities. The NEA will now prioritize projects that elevate the Nation’s HBCUs and Hispanic Serving Institutions, celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, foster AI competency, empower houses of worship to serve communities, assist with disaster recovery, foster skilled trade jobs, make America healthy again, support the military and veterans, support Tribal communities, make the District of Columbia safe and beautiful, and support the economic development of Asian American communities. Funding is being allocated in a new direction in furtherance of the Administration’s agenda.

Your project, as noted below, unfortunately does not align with these priorities:
	Purpose: To support musical performances and production of New Amsterdam's Project Series.”

Well, I assumed something like this was coming but it still really really sucks: NewAm had its NEA grant terminated because it no longer aligns with agency priorities.

Looks like he wants to disband the NEA anyway, so maybe it’s irrelevant. But I don’t know what we’re going to do. We count on this.

Trump Seeks to Eliminate the NEA The president’s budget proposal also called for getting rid of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Awful. And you predicted, the NEA will be eliminated if the White House has anything to do with it. I truly hope NA can find its footing among these philistine cuts. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/a...

U.S. Texts Barnard Employees and Asks if They Are Jewish A questionnaire from a federal commission also inquired about whether professors and other college staff members had been harassed.

Barnard could just streamline the process by requiring Star of David armbands for faculty.
