@tiasdelamusica Nice!
She plays, what, a viola? She was on here but seems to have deleted her account.

@jepaco I wasn’t aware she was such a great writer. I ended up in her house because she and her wife hosted a chamber music concert in their basement.
Ended up chatting with her and stayed late because the conversation was fascinating.

@tiasdelamusica Wow! I was hoping the Trib would make her their music critic.

@jepaco I just went to Hanna’s house last week! Amazing person.

A Homer translator whom I’ve always admired is Stanley Lombardo. Although his versification is far terser than mine, he manages to get the essence of each Homeric line. It’s very biting, very bracing. I reviewed his Iliad in 1997 for @nytimesbooks

Really great overview of the state of the jazz scene in Chicago. Rare to have the more remote corners covered in the press like this!

The traditional Republican position, for those old enough to remember.

The President’s Big Beautiful Bill, the Iran War, and Republican spending bills will create a $2 trillion budget DEFICIT in 2026. Financing just the new debt costs more than all federal road & bridge projects, and we will be making those new interest payments each year, forever.

'In the Dvorak, Dix was clear and lustrous as she spun out the soprano line, sounding extraordinary on soft high notes....The echoing phrases between Dix and Petruccelli, both voices free and radiant, were quite literally spine-tingling.'

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. This is more of the same lawlessness we’ve seen elsewhere around the country.
Our country deserves accountability. Our country deserves the humane treatment of every person here. In fact, our Constitution demands this. What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again.

Chicago’s Lyric Opera receives $20 million gift from Illinois-based Negaunee Foundation
The money will be used to expand educational programming and bring more Mozart to the Downtown stage. The funds arrive in a precarious moment for classical arts.

Donna Summer’s “Last Dance” played for the final 24 hours of Chicago’s disco radio station, WDAI.
It can play for the last five minutes of the planet.
