Zelensky needs to put a price tag on Donbas - 6.5 billion dollars, a thousand Himars, or an Iron Dome over the entire territory of Ukraine. that's the only language Trump can understand. he thinks that Ukrainian land is worth nothing, so he offers nothing, calling it "security guarantees."

The feeling of the collapse is so much more visceral today.

This is my hometown. Just a few months ago, around the corner from this UNESCO "protected" heritage site, I had coffee with my best friend and spent four hours discussing how to be kind and loving, and write more meaningful music, poetry, and prose in this collapsing world.

A bit too late for World Poetry Day, but this is how I feel now.

A poem from a book published in 2024. For many, it seems like it was published just recently...

My best friend has turned 11!
He is:

Yesterday I wrote 5 program notes, ~150 words each, a long journal entry about my book chapter (why it is important and what should be in it), and a 2-page poem about migraine. Can I consider it a productive writing day? Nothing typed in a document towards book progress...

Hanna Havrylets was especially notable for her choral writing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqjD...

On #InternationalWomensDay #IWD I want to highlight the music of Ukrainian composer Hanna Havrylets (1958–2022), who died due to lack of medical care during the Russian attack on Kyiv. Her music is simple and pure, frequently compared with the “new simplicity” of Arvo Pärt. Two works in comments.

If this day means anything at all...

omg, this is what they've been doing in putin's russia since 2012 - showing footage from previous events on TV as something recent

DakhaBrakha In partnership with World Music Institute, Pioneer Works is proud to present the renowned Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha in the Main Hall on March 1, 202...

On March 1, at PW, Dakhabrakha moved from abstract sadness to heartbreaking images of war, to bright hope, reminding me of many Jewish holidays' theme: “They tried to kill us, but we survived - let's celebrate!” What would Adorno say about art if the war he lived through lasted more than 4 years?

A must read for music students and teachers, or anyone who uses LLM for research. I was aware of its hallucinations, but the distortions in the "analysis" it provides are quite chilling. Leah's answers in the comments about why that is are also worth checking out.

So many new sounds to explore in New York this March! extendedtechniques.com/2026/03/01/n...

Dudamel Conducts Eroica & The People United - Mar 12–17 - NY Phil Dudamel leads Beethoven’s Eroica and Rzewski’s The People United Will Never Be Defeated. Official Box Office. Mar 12–17, 2026.

Perhaps it would be appropriate to program this concert at the Kennedy Center, if it remained the old version of itself www.nyphil.org/concerts-tic...

(he said so a year ago :)

Pinya agrees with you!

One problem is that many anti-socialists here say that his snow removal is not successful. There is so much snow that it's hard to prove your success. The fact that we can get anywhere on the second day of a snowstorm is not enough. NY Post even wrote about the defects of his shoveling technique :)

interestingly, not a single Ukrainian composer, while most important composers in Ukraine today are female

Does he even know how "uncivilized" Beethoven was in his manners? Not to mention his liberal politics... Would these fascists please get their hands off music?

This reminds me of the Baltic chain in 1989.

I played snowballs yesterday instead of writing. Most of the snow has melted, but it's easy to find when you have a good reason
