If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.
I will always be in awe of people that eat healthy food at the airport.
Or at a restaurant.
Or at home.
I just looked at the schedule last night and saw three clumps of concerts that have me wishing I could be there, but not enough to cross the pond just for that reason.
No shit. We need a Boomer extinction event.
Got it. Your eyes will be red.
Boo. But also, a red eye going West?
30 minutes to curtain and I just saw Roderick Williams leaving the building. I guess he’ll be at his hotel warming up during the Haydn.
It’s easier if you want to go at 5 or 9
Among other things, CORIGLIANO and FOSS. Particularly excited for the latter. (And the acoustics in this hall are so good.)
I didn’t even know Copland wrote a PC until I saw this program. Now I’m listening to it for the first time and it’s confirming my intention to go to this concert.
For some inexplicable reason, I had "Rhinestone Cowboy" stuck in my head earlier today. I decided to drown it out with Vaughan William's Fantasia on the Old 104th Psalm Tune. Very effective.
It's akin to "Eat, Shop, Live, Play" banners. Depressingly telling and ultimately useless. How to say a place isn't cool without saying a place isn't cool.
"Eateries" is a word only used by small local press or neighborhood boosters trying to convince you the place doesn't suck.
For 20 years I lived with an avid gardener and picked up more than a few things about gardening...in hot steamy Zone 7b/8a...but now I have to figure out containers in moderate to frigid Zone 4b/5a.
If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.
If you are staying downtown and want to visit a fantastic second hand bookstore where the owners sometime seem like they prefer to keep their books try Laurie Booksellers. They do trend a little on the antiquarian side, but definitely worth a fossick.

If I may throw in my two sense...if you are interested in Asian food, Minnesota has the largest Hmong community in the US and your visit would be a good opportunity to try Hmong food. Vinai is a really amazing but a little hard to get a table.

I feel like the return of that pump is also an antiquated cultural reference.
When I saw that a local cinema was having "Bleak Week" I fully expected it to include Mike Leigh's Hard Labour. Sadly, it does not.

The civil defense sirens in Minneapolis are no joke. Last night during the statewide test, I was right across the street from one at the corner of Loring Park. When the siren was facing me, the paperback I was carrying started to vibrate in my hand.
Not very gay.
I was there last night, the QR codes really did make it a sub-par experience. My entree came first, salad second, and appetizer last. No one handy to ask what was in a cocktail and one diner at the table had to walk up to the bar to give them a CC before it would accept his order.
This is awful.
They want to mine these meese. Please call your Senators this morning!
I saw that when it came out in the cinema, damn that was a depressing evening.
I’m pretty sure I saw John Adams’ Grand Pianola Music at the Proms in 1992, and damn I would like to see it live again.
Call your senators to vote no on this piece of shit house res 140 that will fuck the BWCA forever.
Cleveland's 26/27 season finally dropped. Three contenders for getting on a plane...Martinů 2, Young Person's, and the Copland PC, Harris, and Adams are the drivers. Enigma is also a favorite, but it gets programmed a lot so doesn't rate travel-worthy.
“A procession of appetizing little trays of food was marched up the stairs…” I wonder what that might have been in 1939 England. Makes me hungry. Kind of like reading “foodstuffs” in undergraduate history texts. Mmm, foodstuffs.
(Very fun Ursula Orange book, btw) @deanstpress.bsky.social
