And with that, she got to work on the last piece of music
she would ever write.
By the time she was conceiving the sound world and structure of the piece, she was in the middle of her pregnancy. A significant portion of the work, though, came after our son was born and after her diagnosis. As the chemo cycles began, a friend and mentor sent her a supportive email, and in it was a line musing that the dual challenges of cancer treatment and newborn care must be "beyond the beyond."
"That's my title," Sarah said to me. "Don't you think?"
My friend wrote a piece for Esquire about the passing of his wife (an extremely talented composer) and the music she left behind. Itβs a beautiful meditation on grief and art and the way the two things inform each other; please read if youβre so inclined.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkinβ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe
The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.
This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.
Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokΓ©mon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?
Interviewer: They do fight, virtually.
Herzog: Physically, do they fight?
Interviewer: No-
Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?
Happy 30th birthday to PokΓ©mon. Without it, the greatest Werner Herzog quote of all time would not exist.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!
