@sharland57753 Yea. It couldn’t.

Not teddy Roosevelt this can not stand

@A24 @IMAX Seeing the limitations of #ImaxLive, when technical difficulties delayed the start time by a half hour, we just missed that bit. Couldn’t just start it later at the beginning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Once in a lifetime. Talking Heads reunite at #TIFF2023 for the @IMAX world premiere of STOP MAKING SENSE.

@DKThomp Not only do they design and manufacture the technology we use, it’s the democratic and *SOCIAL* ORGANIZATION OF LABOR - the whole point of socialism - that is the ~magic~ that China has figured out in order to rapidly industrialize + double their life expectancy in < a century

I don't think China has figured out any technological magic to building stuff. I think they're like: "It's a train station, Michael. What could it cost, 15,000 man-hours and 20 diggers?" And they throw 1,500 workers at the problem and make them dig and lay steel for 10 hours.

@kaleekreider @DKThomp 1stly, local public input in China surpassed the US. Local municipalities account for the overwhelming majority of state funds - rather than central planning at the national level, they distribute funds to regional governments with greater public accountability

@DKThomp Allowing no public or local input means that things can get built more quickly

@BSmithwood @kaleekreider @DKThomp Yea, if OSHA actually cared about workers more than employer insurance liabilities, they’d be amazed at the level of safety.

@TJSaboOfficial Commercialization of the arts and monopolization of curation and syndication already accomplished the worst fears of artists. Mass produced, soulless drivel in neat little boxes for consumption. A tool is just a tool at the end of the day.

The question is not whether mankind survives A.I. in the year 2050, it's what will be left of humanity and its dreams lost to the near instant creation by A.I. of all things romantic like poetry, photography and even the art of storytelling? What do you think?

@elem230 I believe he used to have this handle - I was surprised a couple years ago when I found it was available again!

@MichaelNyman Ah that's quite funny as your profile is linked on his website. Here's hoping it get's a release! I wonder how I can get in contact with him.

@ypma_albert Love it!

@elem230 I wish I could answer that for you; but, alas, I’m merely a fan who just so happens to share his name. I’m also very into Soviet Cinema, and recall that Michael Nyman also scored Man With A Movie Camera! Let me know if you find a recording tho!

@MichaelNyman Hello @MichaelNyman I have read that you have written and performed a soundtrack to the Battleship Potempkin. Do you ever have any intention to release a recording of it on album ? I was an immense fan of your Man with a Movie Camera OST and would love to hear it.

@DocEdge85 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@MichaelNyman I have seen some people say your (beautiful) piece, "Impromptu for 12 Fingers" could not actually be played by a 12-fingered pianist, that the piece is better thought of as a duet for two pianos. Do you have an opinion on that?

@tedstodolka If you haven’t resolved your issue by now, I would suggest contacting the website.

@MichaelNyman bought items on your website. No status updates. Who do I contact for help?

The Ukraine war profit math: US gives Ukraine $ 2 billion worth of free weapons to fight Russia. Raytheon + $31.3 billion Lockheed + $37.7 billion Northrop + $19.2 billion GeneralD + $15.5 billion Return of investment: $101.7 billion From just 4 of 25 US arms manufacturers!

@GSSPmusic @syntheticplanet Also, it’s not at all complimentary to a socialist framework as it does nothing to facilitate the Democratic control of workplaces. Capitalists still control the means of production. It’s just another subsidy for capitalists.

I keep wondering what the endgame is of making it too expensive to live. If you can’t own a house and can’t pay rent, how can society function? Even more mass incarceration and prison slave labor? Or are they literally unable to see past their quarterly profits?

@caitoz How Zelensky Leads

This is getting so unbelievable cringey. I have a feeling I'd be sick of this guy even if I fully bought into the empire's Ukraine narratives.
