How we heal. "First out was a rust-red calf, legs unsure against the solid ground of a Rocky Mountains meadow. Then in an instant a whole herd of shaggy bison surged, hooves flashing, tails up, eyes wide, a long-awaited storm of buffalo power thundering into the wild... the first free-roaming bison ever to be unleashed onto the North American prairie by a sovereign Tribal government."
More on tribal/federal collaborations and tensions from National Parks magazine: an innovative archaeological field school; freeing the lands between Badger Creek and the Two Medicine River from oil leases; a Blackfeet-run tour company in Glacier National Park, over a century after Native Americans were displaced to create the park.

"This mountain front may be someone's park, or someone's vacation but this is our cultural homeland. This is where we were given the gifts of life itself." If every national park sits on ancestral lands, what does it mean to be a Native American working for the Park Service today? A recorded discussion and screening of Paving Tundra.

The most significant hip hop feud in decades

Kendrick Lamar and Drake (aka Aubrey Graham), two of the biggest active hip hop artists and former collaborators, are seriously beefing in a major way that hasn't been seen since Tupac vs Biggie. Last October, Drake dropped a track, First Person Shooter, where his collaborator J Cole named the two of them and Kendrick as "the big three". Kendrick, who has a competitive streak, took umbrage at being put on the same level as the other two and replied in Like That "it's just big me". What might've started as a somewhat professional competition has rapidly gone nuclear since Kendrick took shots at Drake's Blackness, fitness as a parent, and masculinity in his track titled "euphoria" and Drake responded with allegations of domestic abuse, infidelity, and cuckoldry in Family Matters. As of the latest, Kendrick has accused Drake of hiding a 2nd child and being a sexual predator of underaged girls.

For those of you with teenage or young adult children, I can almost guarantee they are paying attention to this. Be warned the songs linked do contain liberal use of the n-word, casual misogyny, glorification of violence, etc (aka all the stuff rap critics talk about). Some additional background/details:
  • Drake was shamed into recognizing a son he had with an adult entertainer in a diss by Pusha T in 2018
  • Drake's initial response to Like That was Push Ups, which had what could be interpreted as a reference to Kendrick's long time fiancΓ©. He rapidly followed up without waiting for a response with Taylor Made Freestyle, which was almost jocular in tone and pulled after Tupac's estate threatened to sue over unauthorized use of AI-generated vocals in his style.
  • After releasing euphoria, Kendrick took a page from Drake's book and shot off a 2nd diss track, 6:16 in LA.
  • Drake replied with Family Matters within a day, to which Kendrick fired back within minutes with meet the grahams where he implies an unrecognized daughter of Drake's. It's likely both circles are leaking like sieves and had responses prepared.
  • The latest from Kendrick, Not Like Us, is deeply personal in its rancor and makes life ruining accusations. The cover image is of Drake's house on Citizen App, filled with labels of child predators. People have been shot for less.
If you, like me, are only casually familiar with the hiphop world, you can delve into the meanings of the songs on Genius. I also only now found an NPR article on this, although it came out before things really escalated and became serious.

A careful analyst of the textured nature of historical repetition

Thucydides intimates that the careful art of drawing fitting analogies, honed as it may be through the diligent study of political history, will assist some to think more clearly about the present. But mastering this art should not be confused with political mastery. The power of 'great' events will remain too easily harnessed, and too hard to control, to serve only those who are clear-headed and well-intentioned. Specious analogies will remain a danger for as long as people stand to benefit from them, and their emotional pull will continue to knock even the most astute off balance. And yet, if there's little chance that political life will ever be freed from distortive thinking, it may still prove less hazardous for those who look toward history as something more than a sourcebook of convenient parallels. from What would Thucydides say?

Tasmanian devil tooth found during archaeological dig 1000 kilometres north of Perth. The tooth could provide further historical evidence of inter-community trading in Western Australia and was unearthed in Juukan Gorge, which made headlines in 2020 when its rock shelters were damaged by Rio Tinto blasts. "There is no physical evidence that [Tasmanian devils] ever lived in the Pilbara, and the last evidence of devils living in Western Australia was in the South West around 3000 years ago," he said.

Can Yulia Navalnaya unite the Russian opposition?

Three days after her husband's death, Yulia Navalnaya announced publicly that she would continue his work and take over the management of his Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK). Three days after her husband's death, Yulia Navalnaya announced publicly that she would continue his work and take over the management of his Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK). She also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of killing Alexei Navalny, and announced that an investigation into the exact details was underway.

Navalny founded the non-profit organization FBK in 2011. Its aim is to combat corruption by uncovering and publicizing cases of bribery and abuse of power among the Russian elite. Many see Navalny's death at the age of 47 in a penal colony in Siberia as a result of the years of reprisals and harassment by the Russian authorities for these political activities. Yulia Navalnaya to receive DW Freedom of Speech Award 2024 The widow of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Foundation are the 10th DW Freedom of Speech Award laureates. Freedom of Speech Award: DW honors Navalny's widow This year's Deutsche Welle Freedom of Speech Award goes to the woman who was long considered the first lady of the Russian opposition. Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and vocal critic of Vladimir Putin, receives the prize. Earlier this year, she cast her ballot in Russia's presidential election at the embassy in Berlin. An election where any real opposition had long been dealt with by Vladimir Putin. Following the death of Alexei Navalny in an Arctic penal colony, the opposition has been all but decimated in Russia. And the heir apparent is Yulia NavΓ‘lnaya. It's not a role she's taken on by choice ... but by necessity. Just 12 days after her husband's death, she addressed EU lawmakers in Strasbourg. Yulia Navalnaya, DW Freedom of Speech Award winner: "Putin killed my husband, Alexei Navalny. On his orders, Alexei was tortured for three years. He was starved in a tiny stone cell, cut off from the outside world and denied visits, phone calls and then even letters. And then, they killed him." Yulia Navalnaya trained as an economist and worked at a bank before marrying Alexei Navalny in 2000. Navalnaya was long a quiet supporter of her husband's anti-corruption efforts. She was his closest political advisor, and by his side as he went to court and prison numerous times on charges Kremlin critics say were trumped up. Her profile grew when Navalny was poisoned in 2020. While her husband was fighting for his life in a hospital in Siberia, she issued a public letter to Vladimir Putin and led a pressure campaign to allow her husband to be flown to Germany for treatment. When Alexei Navalny returned to Russia in 2021, police arrested him - and detained Yulia Navalnaya, separating the couple for good. She long shunned the spotlight, but after her husband's harsh imprisonment and death, she vowed to continue the fight against the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin has a new vocal critic, not afraid to make use of her freedom of speech.

World Pilot Gig Championships 2024

The Cornish Pilot Gig is a coxed 6-oar, clinker built rowing boat, originally built to take pilots out to sailing ships to pilot them into harbour. Since the first pilot to get to a ship got the job, speed became essential to anyone who wanted to get paid, requiring strong arms, stamina and innovations in boat design. While this trade is long gone, most Cornish harbours continue to support a gig club who race competitively, purely for fun and glory.

This weekend sees the annual world pilot gig championship take place on the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago off the SW tip of the UK. There are men's and women's open categories, plus veterans, super-vets add masters categories. The open attracts ~130 crews in both the men's and women's open categories, with a total of 441 crews, more than doubling the population of the islands for the May Day weekend. Open racing begins with a straight line race amongst all of them (hard to film), before splitting crews into groups of 12 for subsequent races. Three rounds of these heats with top 2 promoted up and bottom 2 relegated leads to open finals on Sunday. The sport also has its devotees further afield, with clubs from as far afield as the Netherlands, the US, France, Australia and Devon - a Dutch team, KWV De-Kaag - remain the only non-Cornish team to take a world open title. Champion of gig rowing: Ann Glanville, a champion rower in the C91th, rowing into her 60s. Named by the British press as the "champion female rower of the world". Her name is memorialised on the lead boat of Caradon, a leading gig team and previous world champions. The Cetatwayo: Recreating a champion boat of the past: A highlight for the wpgc's Scilly hosts this year is their new boat, a hand built recreation of a C19th racing boat with a bit of history. A bit more on the history, boat building science and life saving of the Cornish Pilot Gig and its rowers.

the internet has produced many things, but its driving force is cowardice. it's there in the collective failure to conceptualize how the things one does online manifest themselves in the larger world. it's there in the lionization of an almost spiritual level of intellectual laziness in the need to endlessly double down on whatever your personal brand becomes. it's there in the desire to tear down anyone who might attempt to shine a light on your own personal failures and limitations, in either your work or your larger perspective on the world. the internet is a refuge for the bad faith.

His captor, half-cow, half-human woman, brands him on the buttock with what looks like our old friend the purple devil emojiβ€”rather a "naugty" [sic] act. Suddenly set upon by wolves, the cow lady is compromisedβ€”and Galahad steps up to become white knight, fending the beasts off with his axe. The cow lady and her new hero Galahad elope to her encampment, where she carries him around like a baby, and spots him for sit-ups.

"Megalopolis has always been a film dedicated to my dear wife Eleanor. I really had hoped to celebrate her birthday together this May 4th. But sadly that was not to be, so let me share with everyone a gift on her behalf." Weeks after the loss of his wife, the legendary Francis Ford Coppola reveals a first look at his magnum opus more than 40 years in the making, which has finally found a distributor after the director spent $120 million of his own funds on the project.

Premise: An accident destroys a New York City-like metropolis already in decay. Cesar, an idealist, aims to rebuild the city as a sustainable utopia, while the venal mayor, Frank Cicero, has other plans. Coming between the opposing men and their visions is Frank's socialite daughter, Julia. Tired of the attention and power she was born with, Julia searches for her life's meaning. Themes:
A film professional who attended the first screening told IndieWire the film is about a civilization teetering on a "precarious ledge, devouring itself in a whirl of unchecked greed, self-absorption, and political propaganda," and echoed a Coppola quote: like "Apocalypse Now" before it, "Megalopolis" isn't about the end of the world but the "end of the world as we know it."
Hollywood Elsewhere has glowing responses from a recent private screening (though the bewildered reaction from industry insiders might explain its difficulty finding a distributor):
"It's a startling film....a very enveloping film, but also highly visual in a '60s experimental way. It felt like Francis's youth was returning to him and pouring through his heart at age 84....the kind of independent cinema that he grew up on....it's a wonderful, larger-than-life, jumps-off-the-screen movie and in a totally personal way....constantly entertaining....it's not like any movie that's out there, I can tell you that...avant garde experimental. "It's principally about a love affair between Driver and Natalie Emmanuel, the daughter of his rival and opponent (Whitaker)....a battle for her heart. Romeo and Juliet....a Shaekespearean battle between two families...a bit like Baz Lurhman's Romeo + Juliet. "The statement that I felt summed up the general response was from Andy Garcia: 'This guy is the reason we're all making movies.'
Cast:
Adam Driver as Cesar Nathalie Emmanuel as Julia Cicero Giancarlo Esposito as Frank Cicero Jon Voight - Laurence Fishburne - Aubrey Plaza - Shia LaBeouf - Jason Schwartzman - Grace VanderWaal - Kathryn Hunter - Talia Shire - Dustin Hoffman - D.

We Sent Ralph Nader Some of Our Favorite Pens. He Dismissed Them All.

Ralph Nader is loyal to one pen: the Papermate Flair. But Nader claims that the pens are drying out quicker then they used to. He reached out to Wirecutter (a NYT property) and they investigated. Archive.is link: https://archive.is/54jtw

"For years I've been using felt pens, mostly red and black but sometimes purple, to mark up The New York Times," Nader told me in a phone interview last year. "I go through every page of the Times, and I mark up different articles and send them to different people. And I do that with The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal." (I am aware that once I click "Post" I cede control of this article, but if this could become a fun conversation about pens and not the umpteenth rehash of past presidential campaigns, I'd love it.)

The great Howard DaSilva performs the showstopping number "Little Tin Box" Fiorello! is a musical about New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia, a reform Republican, which debuted on Broadway in 1959, and tells the story of how La Guardia took on the Tammany Hall political machine. The book is by Jerome Weidman and George Abbott, drawn substantially from the 1955 volume Life with Fiorello by Ernest Cuneo, with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and music by Jerry Bock.

It won the three major theatre awards - Tony Award (shared with The Sound of Music), the New York Drama Critics Circle award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is one of only ten musicals to win the latter award. As a side note Mr. DaSilva was blacklisted for many years by Hollywood In 1947, his career was threatened when the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) began its investigation into alleged Communist influence of Hollywood. Actor Robert Taylor, called as a "friendly witness", accused many of his fellow actors and writers of either being communists or having communist sympathies. When questioned about da Silva, Taylor said, "I can name a few who seem to sort of disrupt things once in a while. Whether or not they are communists I don't know. One chap we have currently, I think is Howard da Silva. He always seems to have something to say at the wrong time."

Shakespeare toys with numerous European languages throughout his work, including Italian, French, Spanish, and Dutch. Often, these are spoken in thick accents, with comedic pronunciation. The same holds true for his use of the various British dialectsβ€”Scots, Welsh, Cornish, and Irishβ€”heard in scruffy taverns or high courts. In Henry V, soldiers fracture the King's English while the king himself and a French princess descend into a comical Franglais courtship. Yet, no matter how garbled the speech, playgoers can usually identify distinct languages and dialectsβ€”that is, until they bump up against what scholars have called the "invented language," "unintelligible gabble," and "'Boskos thromuldo boskos' mumbo-jumbo" in his comedy "All's Well That Ends Well." from I Understand Thee, and Can Speak Thy Tongue: California Unlocks Shakespeare's Gibberish [LARB]

In 2007, a film lab accidentally returned a rough cut of 1972 Maysles footage of The Beales to Peter using an old label on a film cannister. It was part of the Maysles Films archives digitization project and was supposed to be returned to Maysles directly, but had been paid for by Peter and Lee in 1972 and had Peter's still-current address on it.

Maysles Films had insisted the film had all been returned or destroyed when Lee cancelled the project. The lie exposed, the film (now presumed very valuable) became the subject of a custody battle. The footage became the basis of the 2018 documentary That Summer, due to Peter's heroic efforts to get around litigious Maysles and Radziwill attorneys by adding new footage.

Suppressing the agency of the stove makes it easier to tell a simple story about the agency of the individual thinker.

Sumatran orangutan becomes first wild animal seen using medicinal plant to treat wound.

A Sumatran orangutan has become the first wild animal seen self-medicating with a plant to heal a wound. The male orangutan, named Rakus, had sustained a wound on his cheek pad, most likely from fighting other males, researchers said in a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Rakus was seen chewing liana leaves without swallowing them, then using his fingers to apply the resulting juice onto the wound, the researchers said. Finally, he covered the wound up completely with a paste he had made by chewing the leaves and continued feeding on the plant. Five days after he was seen applying the leaf paste onto the wound it was closed, and a month later barely visible. It is the first documented case of active wound treatment by a wild animal with a plant known to have medicinal qualities. The leaves were from a liana known as akar kuning (Fibraurea tinctoria in Latin), which is used in traditional medicine to relieve pain, reduce fever and treat various diseases, such as diabetes and malaria. It also has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antioxidant properties.
