Student activism is never perfect. You’ll always find some protestors who are ignorant or overzealous or narcissistic. They’re like 19 years old. But you also can’t wait for the perfect protest. It will never come. I really do empathize with the difficult position of leftwing…
Five decades later, the enigma of Van Morrison's 'Moondance' remains the disjunction between its joyful mainline into the transcendent mysteries of life, and the sour, bitter, paranoid man who rendered it. Doubly strange: it's not like he just went senile. He was always this way.
Someone from @piersmorgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵
This is especially a message for my fellow Jews w/ good hearts but little info on how Christian "Zionism" works: Think of Christian Zionists as accelerationists: Ultimately, they want--they need, for their theology--war. They'll always encourage fascists like Netanyahu.
But despite my 20 years on this beat, I realize I missed something: Whole lotta folks--leftists, liberals, fellow Jews--don't realize that even when they perform concern, Christian nationalists are *never* any friend of any of Jews, anywhere, even the fascist ones.
I say this from 20 years of researching & eporting on the Right. I know how Christian "Zionists" think. Scare quotes because if in service of either rapture theology or as pawn in war with far stronger Islam, it's not really any kind of Zionism, it's Christian fundamentalism.
on this #internationaljazzday seek out living practitioners of the genre and thier hybrids. Make an extra special effort to look for the under-appreciated and possible unknown in the wider international conversation.

THIS. Political context matters. The tonedeaf, dunderheaded responses of American universities emerge from the alignment of two toxic developments: 1) the corporatization of higher ed (which includes admin salaries in the millions) 2) the militarized over-policing of communities

@darcyjamesargue Oh, and thank you for the reduction of diminuendo and crescendo blue.
@joshtpm there are a lot of folks out there desperate to find a permission structure that allows them to make irresponsible choices
Consistent push to blame situation at Columbia on Joe Biden.
Whatever happens at Columbia and to students protesting across America can be directly linked to Joe Biden’s White House repeatedly lying and smearing these students.
My @columbiajourn students are out reporting non-stop: working sources they've built over months, navigating the campus unlike any outsider, and adding much-needed context, humanity and depth to coverage. If you're an editor looking to commission them, get in touch.
Hi, newsrooms: If you are relying on Columbia-affiliated journalists, namely student professionals in various programs at @columbiajourn, for exclusive, inside-campus coverage of protests and events, it is common (industry) courtesy and standard to compensate them for their work.
Every election cycle the same people have some new "red line" for why they can't vote for Dems. Off the top of my head we've had: Medicare for All, Green New Deal Student loans, supported the Iraq war and of course who could forget the existential threat that was the TPP.
Say what you will about it, but having a red line that if crossed would stop you from voting for someone isn't nihilism. It's kind of the opposite? Most people would have a red line like this somewhere, it'd be nihilist not to have one!
Five decades later, the enigma of Van Morrison's 'Moondance' remains the disjunction between its joyful mainline into the transcendent mysteries of life, and the sour, bitter, paranoid man who rendered it. Doubly strange: it's not like he just went senile. He was always this way.
Might's well sign off, it's not getting any better than this
@nyttypos @piersmorgan this whole thread is about owning Piers
Piers looks best on his TV show, where he employs a visual language he knows (dark suit, light shirt, dark tie). He just needs to learn a few more languages for when he's off the show and perhaps pay attention to Kermit the Frog.
Finally, Kermit knows that dinner suits (aka tuxedos) should be worn with black bow ties made from the same material as the jacket's facings, not long black ties, which should be reserved for business meetings, court appearances, and funerals.
Again, the same issue here. Piers is wearing generic clothes (no cultural message, lack of a finishing layer, visually uninteresting). Kermit improves on this by aligning the materials (chambray with denim) and using an open shirt as a lightweight layer. Has a workwear vibe.
Kermit wears a similar outfit but employs a field parka, a Fair Isle knit, and a scarf. The coat gives him a distinctive silhouette. The sweater is visually more interesting. All the elements in the outfit make sense in terms of weather and cultural language.
We see the same issues here. Piers is wearing a slim, shapeless topcoat with a stretched-out V-neck, a white dress shirt, a scarf, bad jeans, and suede loafers (confusing, no cultural message, aesthetically unappealing).
You can see how the same language is channeled in Aime Leon Dore's spring/ summer lookbook. The outfit on the right is a little better because the man is wearing a jacket (outfits often need a finishing layer). But perhaps Kermit was hot that day.
To develop your visual vocabulary, you have to pay attention to culture. Think about how clothes were worn in the past by various cultural groups. Here we see all the references for Kermit's outfit above.
Compare these two outfits. Piers' black polo with checked knee-length shorts and bad sneakers says nothing. But Kermit's cargo shorts with an Aloha shirt, fishing bag, and straw hat says: "I'm a mid-century sportsman on vacation."
By thinking of clothes as cultural language, Kermit is able to put together cooler outfits. Here, he's channeling 1980s Miami Vice energy with a lightweight jacket, pink mock neck, striped pants, white horsebit loafers, and giant sunglasses.
Men often struggle with this because their identity may be rooted in just being a "normal dude," so they see any outfit that deviates from some middle-class uniform as "cosplay." But do you think a frog actually herds cattle?
