“An eight-year-old girl from one of the last uncontacted tribes in the Amazon was captured by loggers in Brazil, tied to a tree, and then burned alive, the Telegraph reports. She was killed as part of a campaign to move the indigenous people off their land”

Anyone have any recommendations for a Music at Midnight post?

I suppose the easy comment to make here would be: where has Arthur S. Brisbane been for the past decade?

But if he’s looking for a way to further change the narrative landscape, maybe the Times should open up more local bureaus.

Guantanamo’s been open for 10 years.

Here’s a sketch I wrote about that place in either ‘06 or ‘07.

“But as an actor, I ask, just as The Artist asks, What happens to the performers when the technology advances? Puss in Boots is an adequate answer to the question posed by The Artist: performers are subsumed by the technology. The Artist is a film about an actor who can’t use his voice in film—and Puss in Boots is an animated film that uses only famous performers’ voices … Maybe in a hundred years someone will make a sequel to The Artist, which will be shot in a retro style with live-action actors, and which will tell the tale of what happened to an actor who didn’t want to transition into the CG-heavy films of the twenty-first century.”

— How can such a ludicrously boring opinion piece get published in The Paris Review?

Oh. Wait. The author.

The Return of Arsenal’s King

“It was like a dream when he scored. It was the story you would tell a kid. It is not often like that in our game.” - Arsene Wenger

It’s hard to add to Arsene’s description of Thierry Henry’s return to the Emirates. Numbers change, but it only took 10 minutes for the Thierry wearing the #12 to establish himself amongst Gooners as the same man that led Arsenal to so much glory in the past with the match-winner against Leeds United. It’s only a short loan spell, but tonight was special, and not just for fans of the Arsenal.

This was terrific.
