Solid curated list, especially the Mavis Staples sweep. The point about these wins being buried in the pre-show instead of primetime speaks to a broader issue with how mainstream award shows treat roots music. I remmeber when Jon Batiste's 'We Are' won Album of the Year and it felt like an anomaly rather than part of any shift. The 'Voice of Hind Rajab' section is important context too, especially how distribution blockades work.
Excellent music. Powerful cartoons. Wuerker and Telnaes. I laughed out loud at the Goris, then was hit with the Matson, which stopped me cold. Brodner is always on point.
Interesting trump has to make a point of saying melania is his "American" wife. Is he afraid ICE is going to come get her and send her to the mines? Or is he hoping they read between the lines and come get her?
I’ve never been in the New York subway but I have braved the Shinjuku station in Tokyo from your photo they seem very similar. I understand the tangerine toddler got his feelings hurt again. He should just turn his tv off and boycott award shows.
I particularly like the quotation on the Telnaes cartoon. If I’m not mistaken, it’s from the 1960’s movie, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” and was spoken by Burl Ives, playing Big Daddy, his best role ever, IMHO. Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor outdid themselves in it, too. That’s a movie worth watching many, many times, if for no other reason, to watch Liz Taylor call the children in the movie, “no neck monsters.”
Yes, that is correct. They were the children of Paul Newman's character's older brother and his obnoxious wife. The two of them were determined to claim all of Big Daddy's assets when he died. The movie has a great plot twist at the end.

Her nieces and nephews.

Brilliant photo in Grand Central Station!
