A few weeks ago I wrote about the (then) upcoming #LSO #Law #Society of #Ontario #Bencher election. How there was the Bencher Good Governance Coalition, who want to be *good* lawyers and promote EDI and outreach and inclusion and stuff.

vs. the Stop-SOP anti-woke, anti-EDI crew who hate being told they can't be racist -phobes.

Well, TL;DR - the good guys won. #EDI #woke goodness is back on the menu in Ontario legal circles. But the Stoppers are still scheming.

There is a vicious battle going on in #Ontario #legal circles that no one (who isn't a #lawyer) knows about. The "We want to be better lawyers and humans" Bencher Good Governance Coalition vs. the Stop SOP team. aka "Team Racist Sexist Hatephobe Dickholes".

If you know a lawyer or paralegal in Ontario remind them to vote in their bencher election. Voting ends Friday! Don't let the Dickhole lawyers win again!

#BGGC #LSO #bencher

If you like #Webern this is a fine collection of his opuses 1-31. #Boulez’s direction of the #LSO is sublime (eg. certain marvellous sudden staccato movements in orchestral pieces; relief by the the 2nd to the aural treacle of the 1st Viennese school). Helen Harper and Charles Rosen come together (‘Vier lieder…’ to belie that awful, lazy expression ‘Such-and-such a Soprano ‘accompanied by’ [intending a menial or lesser contribution] …on piano, cello, or ‘instrumentalist’!).

I’m not a natural fan of the classical voice (or in jazz for that matter*). It is perhaps ironical that I delight in #HeatherHarper’s treatment of #Webern’s #VierLieder (4 songs) für #Singstimme (voiced forcefully?) & #Klavier, Op.12. #CharlesHarper, #piano. Members of #LSO. Directed by Pierre #Boulez. By comparison, imo, #Schoenberg’s 2nd String Qrt is marred by the addition of a soprano. Harper’s performance has an instrumental quality to it. #AntonWebern
*#LadyDay notwithstanding.

How NOT to have tepid syrup poured into your ears until it overflows, ruining your evening attire. #AntonWebern #LSO #JulliardStringQuartet #PierreBoulez
Opuses 1–31.
