You put on your Sigmund Freud pants, Matt, to explain to us laypeople why Jamie Raskin must retreat from the public scene: Now you want Jamie Raskin out of Congress-you know, for his own good. No slur, no lie, no amount of hateful falsity in your public past can match your soulless verbal mugging of Congressman Raskin, a man of rare high character and rarer courage who just now is performing the definitive public service of his life: holding to account the moral miscreants like you who thought, on January 6, 2021, that it would be a good idea to follow Donald Trump’s goading and vandalize the United States Capitol building in Washington. To an appalling extent you’ve succeeded.Īnd now you have broken new mud. ![]() Your horde has pumped these rancid values into the public discourse over the last decade you’ve done your best to normatize them. You know these levels, Matt, because they are where you and your fellow congressional cretins live like feral cliff-dwellers. There are levels of character destruction, of barbarism and bullying, of abusive self-degrading malice. The thrust of them was that Jamie Raskin was no longer able to discharge his congressional duties. Marjorie sat mooing with approval at your side as you spoke, occasionally belching out a supportive comment of her own.ĭo you recall those remarks, Matt? I do. The podcast was hosted by your spirit animal, Marjorie Taylor Greene. They were aimed at the bereaved Congressman Jamie Raskin, whose son Thomas, on New Year’s Eve 2020, committed suicide. I think I’ll call you “Matt.”) You voiced them during a podcast on June 8. (I can’t bring myself to call you “Congressman” Gaetz, because “Congressman” is an honorific, and I have never discovered anything in your character that suggests honor. Photo Credit: Gage Skidmore from Peoria, AZ, United States of America, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons "Well my goodness, it's a horrible thing, what he went through, but it doesn't change the fact of, uh, his political beliefs," she said, "and I believe he's a communist and I believe what he's doing on the January 6th Committee is completely wrong.Matt Gatez. Greene then stated the quiet part out loud. And the country shouldn't have to go through all that with him." "And I do think it clouds his judgment and you could see that, that very darkness and that pain manifest on Thursday in a way that's not particularly relevant to the challenges that we've talked about, but it might be deeply relevant to what he's going through. "But I think for Jamie Raskin, it's really like, his service in the Congress has almost become like inextricably attached to this sad personal trauma he's had," Gaetz proclaimed. "And we want to vindicate the rights of our citizens and we want to champion their causes and battle their dislikes," Gaetz remarked. "We're not here out of a sense of grievance or hatred. "Well and we love this country," Gaetz added. "We're here to serve the people," Greene interjected. "You know, we try to come to the job to uplift people," Gaetz resumed. But I think that he takes that trauma and he associates it now with his work in the Congress to such an interwoven way that he's unable to do the congressional experience outside of just the dungeon of that personal trauma," Gaetz continued, "and I think it makes him look at everything in these very like, dark and severe ways." "As human beings, our hearts go out to him. And what I worry about for the Congress and for Jamie Raskin, you know, no one would ever want to lose a child, particularly to suicide," said Gaetz. "When people encounter trauma, they often associate a lot of the other things around that trauma with it, even if they don't naturally or even rationally associate. ![]() Now, with just 24 hours remaining before public hearings revealing what the bipartisan congressional commission has found begin, Gaetz and Greene have launched a new and unusually cruel offensive against Raskin. Raskin also sits on the Select Committee investigating the attack, which was triggered (at least in part) by Republican lawmakers refusing to acknowledge President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election at Trump's behest. Raskin served as the House of Representatives' manager of former President Donald Trump's second impeachment for inciting the January 6th, 2021 Capitol insurrection. United States Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) appeared on a recent edition of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia)'s podcast and suggested that Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) is unable to do his job because his son committed suicide. This article originally appeared on AlterNet. Still, it’s just Uncanny Valley enough that it doesn’t really look like a typical Mac OS application.īut after all is said and done, this is still a fantastic sounding music player. A quick scan of the acknowledgements doesn’t mention it. I suspect the new interface is built in C# on Mono or Windows Form Controls, but don’t quote me on that. It’s no coincidence that the new interface has elements that look a LOT like Roon, that other alternative music software that’s stolen the hearts and wallets of audiophiles all over. If I had to guess, I’d say he got the UI for “free” (as in a lot of work building a cross platform UI) when rebuilding for Windows. Bringing this fantastic player to Windows is huge enough, but adding a new UI to Mac OS is a daunting challenge. My hat is off to Damien for the hard work he’s put into this. None of this is really unexpected with a completely new UI. Dates are hard, I get that, but this is another step back in functionality and clarity from the previous version. “Date Added: Before, After, Between” and “Days, Weeks, Months” would have been clearer. ![]() “Added Date / Is Later Than or Is : 30 Days Before Today” Is probably not the language I would have used. The language for the selection criteria in the Smart Playlist editor is a bit … confusing. If you shrink past a certain size, some of the buttons and text can get pushed outside the boundaries, though not always! Biggest omission, in my opinion: No “Heart Button” to fave currently playing track. It doesn’t scale particularly well, unfortunately. Play/Pause, shuffle and skip controls and a small album cover are all you have in this mode and it’s perfect when you’re listening and want to park it in a corner while doing other stuff. Probably my favorite new addition is the inclusion of a mini window. ![]() Light Mode is almost pure white and probably not what you want in a dark listening room at night. It’s enough of a color to be discernible against other dark windows on Mac OS. There’s a new Dark Theme which turns the whole thing into a deep royal blue. Thanks for mentioning that in the comments, Ella! It merely builds a database for Audirvana to use. Please note that this is a non destructive process and in no way affects the iTunes library, your song files or their location on disk. * edit: Note that I did originally say that Audirvana wanted to “migrate” my iTunes library.I don’t use those services so can’t really comment on their integration. Oh yeah, there’s also a “streaming” section with entries for Qobuz, Tidal and HighRes Audio. Other options like upsampling and the SysOptimizer that kills a bunch of processes on your machine to “improve performance” are there for the adventurous. As usual, Exclusive mode and Integer mode are there so your music gets the whole device. (Checking ~/Library/Application Support/Audirvana reveals that a new database is built with the 3.2 version left intact – whew!)Īfter import, you’re guided into the new Settings panel where you can select your library location and playback device and associated options. This immediately gave me pause, but what the hell, I figured, and clicked OK to start the process. ![]() Upon dropping it into my Applications directory and launching it, I was prompted to migrate import* my library. I entered my registration key on the website and was given the new version. Installation of the update went smoothly enough. I have two in the house, and Audirvana is a great solution for sending my playlists and library content to them, without having to use the less capable interface Volumio provides. My other major use is streaming to my Hifiberry equipped Raspberry Pis running Volumio. I like my signals unadulterated by my signal path. I don’t use any of the upsampling or signal processing options available – and there are several to choose from. I will say straight away that I don’t think you’ll notice any change in sound quality. Listening through a Topping DX7s DAC/AMP with Adam A7X monitor speakers and Hifiman HE4XX headphones. Audirvana (the “Plus” seems to have been dropped from the moniker) has so much new in it, I’m surprised the author didn’t give it a brand new 4.0 badge. I’ll be testing the MacOS version on my still functioning 2012 Mac Pro running Mac OS version 10.13. ![]() With a completely overhauled UI and a new Windows version to go along with it, there’s a lot of new code in here. I’ve been using it exclusively for listening to my local collection of music on my computers for nigh 4 years now and I love it.

QubeSat, from the University of California, Berkeley, was a technology demonstration designed to test how the space environment affects quantum gyroscopes. New Mexico State University's Ionospheric Neutron Content Analyzer, or INCA, was designed to "study the latitude and time dependencies of the neutron spectrum in low Earth orbit for the first time to improve current space weather models and mitigate threats to space and airborne assets," NASA officials wrote in an ELaNa 41 update (opens in new tab) on Feb.

He wasn’t pleased, and he wrote to let McCartney know as much. McCartney drew parallels between his own experience in the Beatles with Dave Grohl's years in Nirvana, and how the two managed to find continued success after their bands broke up.Back in 1971, Paul McCartney gave an interview. While McCartney has been busy reflecting on his and Lennon's relationship, the former Beatles member recently attended the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where he inducted the Foo Fighters. We talked about how to bake bread."Įarlier this year, McCartney shared what had broken up the Beatles in the first place, revealing that Lennon had been the one to instigate the split when he said he was leaving the band. But luckily, our last meeting was very friendly. I would've thought, 'Oh, I should've, I should've, I should've.' It would have been a big guilt trip for me. "Without question, it would have been the worst thing in the world for me, had he been killed, when we still had a bad relationship. "I was very glad of how we got along in those last few years, that I had some really good times with him before he was murdered," McCartney wrote. ![]() While Lennon spent the next five years focusing on being a dedicated father, McCartney wound up being his inspiration once again and got him back in the studio to record Double Fantasy after hearing McCartney's single, "Coming Up." Lennon was assassinated as he was recording his Double Fantasy follow-up, but McCartney had no regrets about what terms he and Lennon had been on at the time of his passing. In 1975, after John Lennon and Yoko Ono welcomed their son, Sean Lennon, the former Beatles members found they had more in common being parents and began to talk once again. But gradually we got past that, and if I was in New York I would ring up and say, 'Do you fancy a cup of tea?'" "Our relationship was a bit fraught sometimes because we were discussing business, and we would sometimes insult each other over the phone. "At first, after the breakup of the Beatles, we had no contact, but there were various things we needed to talk about," McCartney wrote. "I don't know what he hoped to gain, other than punching me in the face."Īfter releasing a few jabs himself, McCartney opted to extend an olive branch with his 1971 track, "Dear Friend." Lennon did not release another diss track, and the two slowly began to mend bridges. "John was firing missiles at me with his songs, and one or two of them were quite cruel," McCartney wrote in his book. McCartney and Lennon were embroiled in a bitter relationship for several years post-Beatles, with Lennon putting down McCartney's first solo works and releasing songs such as "'God" and "How Do You Sleep," which included pointed lyrics toward his former Beatles bandmate. In his new book, Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, McCartney is taking a look back at his friendship with John Lennon, including all of their tense years with one another that bordered on hatred, and how they managed to rebuild their friendship before Lennon's tragic death in 1980. The tension between the two led to numerous jabs within their albums and singles in the following years, and the two continued to use one another as inspiration after they disbanded. The Beatles' split and subsequent falling out between John Lennon and Paul McCartney remains a frequently debated aspect of rock history. ![]() There’s a reason I Am Not Your Negro was a modest “hit” for a documentary and took home its fair share of awards. I Am Not Your Negro takes an unfinished book by brilliant American writer James Baldwin and uses it as a starting point to discuss Baldwin’s life, passions and his home country’s ugly history of racism. Killer Joe is raw, unpleasant, but highly watchable. The film’s kinetic pace keeps its cruel and incompetent cast of dimwits from over-staying their welcome, and this is the performance that kicked off McConaughey’s career resurgence and for good reason. Obviously, things don’t go exactly as planned. Adapted from a play by Tracy Letts, Killer Joe centers on a hapless father-son pair that hire a slick contract killer played by Matthew McConaughey to murder the matriarch of their family so that they can collect the life insurance policy to pay some debts. However, if you’re looking for a black comedy as dark as pitch populated with nasty characters in a send-up of classic film noir storytelling, then Killer Joe may just be the tragicomedy for you. If you’re looking for a good time, steer clear of the great William Friedkin’s Killer Joe.

We look at the roles of colour and design in galvanising protest and lending it a clear sense of identity and purpose. Putting their imaginations to work, the children design and proudly wear their creations – uniforms for the new eco-age.Ĭo-design is a powerful force for creativity and collaboration, particularly when it incorporates the freedom, expression and imagination of children. The Villa Noailles art centre offers workshops for children and teenagers that link artistic endeavours to play. ‘Makeshift’ - an assemblage aesthetic that celebrates the beauty of everyday materiality ‘Vibrant Rebellion’ - frenetic, expressive and unapologetic, a rabble-rousing design direction and a call to action ‘Eclectic Folk’ - crafted and eclectic, a politically savvy generation of eco-activists revisits the peace and love movement of the 1960s and ‘Raw Craft’ - this design direction, grounded in rustic crafts, celebrates the unique irregularity of natural materials. But it is children who have finally dragged climate change right to the top of the international agenda. We have known for a long time that our planet’s climate is in serious trouble. Throughout this issue you’ll find heartening examples of organisations doing just that.Ĭhildren are the revolution. While the arts are being squeezed out of the school curriculum, today’s young people have grown up with tools that enable them to create and to communicate, and we should encourage and facilitate this. ![]() The playful creativity at the heart of this explosion of youthful protest is fast-moving and responsive, equally attuned to the new age of direct action and to the era of social media. ![]() In our feature on The Colours of Resistance, we look at the roles of colour and design in galvanising protest and lending it a clear sense of identity and purpose. And the creative community is responding, not just in terms of setting its own house in order but also by spreading a clear, unambiguous message to the world. Extinction Rebellion is one of the loudest voices urging us to rebel for life – to take action, right now. Their sense of urgency, couched with energy, inclusivity and humour, is infectious. Faced with this lack of impetus and will, young people are demanding action, and demanding it now. Yet we have proved unwilling to inconvenience ourselves. It is well over a decade since the 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth set out the uncomfortable facts about environmental changes – and there have been many other warnings, both before and since. Should we feel inspired or humbled that it is schoolchildren who have pushed the climate crisis to the top of the international agenda? Both. |
