#Michael Giron

[dramasetter]

Vorrei buttare due minuti per parlare (male) di Courmayeur.

A parte il fatto che è un paese concepito per far star bene i ricchi e di merda i poveri MA non è questo il punto.

Io oggi mi sono immaginata un Dio sadico che si diverte a costruire un girone infernale fatto su misura per me (più o meno l'esperimento di Michael alla fine di the good place credo) e a papa Francesco piace pensare che l'inferno sia vuoto e sapete cosa, questa visione piace anche a me che nemmeno credo all'inferno (il bello è che non ci crede neanche papa Francesco) quindi immaginiamo un inferno vuoto, ci sono solo io nel mio girone. E sono a Courmayeur.

Per la metà del tempo sono stata lì, in preda all'ansia, a piangere mentre tutti mi fissavano.

LAS VEGAS— Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) and Jamaine Ortiz (17-1-1, 8 KOs) hosted their public workouts today ahead of their showdown for Lopez's WBO and Ring Magazine junior welterweight world titles this Thursday, Feb. 8 at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. In the 10-round lightweight co-feature, U.S. Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn Davis (9-0, 6 KOs) faces Puerto Rican former two-division world champion Jose “Sniper” Pedraza (29-5-1, 14 KOs).   Lopez-Ortiz and Davis-Pedraza will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT.

Teofimo Lopez “It’s a super fight. It’s great to be back. I’m here to do it for everyone and the next generation. I’m excited. Everybody is here to see greatness.” “Talk is cheap. He can say what he wants, but it’s a lot different when they feel these punches. I love guys like him who think they can take this. But I’m 'The Takeover.'” “I’m not one dimensional. I’m universal. I’ve got plans from A to Z. I’ve been training since last August. So, I’m ready.” Jamaine Ortiz “I’m feeling great. I’m ready to put on a show and have some fun. That’s all I’m here to do, to have some fun. I’m excited to be crowned world champion. My time is coming. This Thursday, I will be crowned the new champ at 140.” “I’m bringing my heart. I’m bringing everything, my soul, my whole body. I’m willing to risk my life in the ring. He beat me before. I still have that in mind. So, I’m going to avenge that loss.” Keyshawn Davis “I feel excited. I feel good. I can’t wait for Thursday. I’m looking forward to an amazing performance. I’m trying to stop Pedraza. He’s only been stopped once, by another Davis. Now it’s going to happen with a Davis from a new generation. I feel like this is my breakout fight. It’s going to put me at the top level.“ “He has experience, but I’ve dealt with that before. It doesn’t make a difference. It’s just another fighter and another opponent coming to win. This is going to be a fight. I finally feel like I’m going to be in there with someone who can really fight. Whatever game plan he has, I feel like he’s going to test me. And I’m going to rise to the occasion.”

Jose Pedraza 

“It’s been a year since I fought, so I'm happy to be back. I can’t wait to fight Keyshawn Davis.”

“Keyshawn is an excellent boxer, but I have more  experience. He has a lot of experience, too, but as an amateur. He has a typical North American style, so I expect a good fight from him.”

“I feel stronger at lightweight. This is my division. When I moved up to junior welterweight, it wasn’t because I couldn’t make the weight. I had a goal of becoming a three-weight world champion." Alan Garcia “I’m very excited to be on another great Top Rank card. I’m ready to show what a kid from Kansas can do. In every camp, I work on hurting my opponent, but I’m always prepared to go the distance.” Charlie Sheehy “I feel good to be fighting in my first eight-rounder. I’m meant for more rounds as I’ll be able to finally implement a game plan and break people down.” Abdullah Mason “I’ve been ready to fight eight rounds for a while now. I'm looking forward to longer fights and more durable opponents so I can work towards breaking them down.” Javier Martinez “I’ve watched a lot of film, and I’m prepared to do what I gotta do. I don’t like to predict. But with the way I’ve prepared, I’ll be looking to finish it soon.

John Wick Chapitre 4 Film Streaming HD VF Regarder Online

John Wick Chapitre 4 Regarder Film - https://john-wick-chapitre-4-vf.blogspot.com/

John Wick est une franchise d'action mettant en vedette Keanu Reeves à propos d'un ancien tueur à gages qui sort de sa retraite pour venger le meurtre d'un chiot laissé par un homme après la mort de sa femme. Assez rapidement, la vengeance se transforme en guerre ouverte contre une organisation secrète qui contrôle des mercenaires dans le monde entier. Au quatrième film, il devient clair que John ne pourra aller au coucher du soleil que s'il tue tous les méchants et gagne sa liberté. Dans cette affaire difficile, il sera aidé par de vieilles connaissances et même d'anciens ennemis.

Dans "JW4", notre protagoniste joue à nouveau l'offensive. Il déclare la guerre à la table haute dans une ouverture semblable à celle de "Lawrence d'Arabie" alors que Wick chevauche un cheval à travers le désert marocain pour affronter le sommet de la pyramide des enfers, The Elder (George Georgiou) dont vous vous souvenez peut-être de "John Wick : Chapitre 3 – Parabellum. Il possède l'alliance de Wick après que notre anti-héros l'ait utilisée comme serment de fidélité pour épargner sa vie et lui donner plus de temps pour tuer TOUT LE MONDE.

De retour dans la franchise, Ian McShane dans le rôle de Winston, le manager du New York Continental et l'ami le plus proche de Wick, et son fidèle concierge Charon joué par le regretté Lance Reddick qui vient de décéder. Le film a été dédié à l'acteur qui a créé le personnage le plus aimé de la franchise. Reddick a formé sa vision du personnage du film en proposant l'accent et la personnalité sage mais confiante de Charon.

Laurence Fishburne est de retour en tant que Bowery King qui a fait sa première apparition dans "John Wick: Chapitre 2". Il est toujours à la hauteur de ses vieilles astuces, aidant Wick à vaincre la table haute en lui fournissant des fusils et des combinaisons pare-balles. BTW, les fils de Kevlar doivent être en stock chez Men's Wearhouse car même les méchants semblaient être parés de costumes qui éloignent les balles. L'entreprise devrait changer son slogan en "Vous adorerez votre apparence, vivant."

Les nouveaux ajouts à l'univers de John Wick incluent un traqueur et un chasseur de primes nommé Mr. Nobody joué par Shamier Anderson qui n'est jamais sans son fidèle chien, un malinois belge nommé Black Beanie. Espérez juste que vous n'êtes pas du côté de la réception lorsque personne ne crie la commande "Nuts". Il est le personnage le plus mystérieux du film motivé uniquement par le signe dollar. Vous ne savez jamais de quel côté il se trouve car il aide Wick plusieurs fois, mais il accomplit un acte de loyauté exténuant devant le marquis en signe de loyauté envers la table haute.

L'acteur britannique Scott Adkins, star de la franchise "Undisputed", rejoint le casting en tant que méchant nommé Killa. Un passionné de poker qui siège à la tête de la table allemande. Il a assassiné le père de Katia (Natalia Tena), la sœur adoptive de Wick et chef de la famille Ruska Roma qui siège à la table haute. Rappelez-vous, ils ont pris John comme orphelin et l'ont élevé pour qu'il devienne un exécuteur. Elle accepte de ramener Wick dans le giron s'il assassine Killa, ce qui conduit à une séquence d'action frénétique dans une boîte de nuit berlinoise à l'atmosphère rave. Et il y a le merveilleux Clancy Brown, célèbre pour son rôle de Kurgan dans "Highlander" et vu plus récemment dans "Dexter: New Blood", qui rejoint la franchise en tant que Harbinger, un membre de haut rang de la table haute qui sert de le médiateur dans l'apogée du film. Écrit par Shay Hatten et Michael Finch, qui ont succédé à Derek Kolstad, scénariste des deux premiers épisodes et co-scénariste du troisième film, "John Wick 4" amène l'histoire à une conclusion satisfaisante. La fin est parfaite. Tout le reste aurait été un déshonneur pour une franchise aussi passionnée réalisée par Chad Stahelski et Keanu Reeves. Une pandémie et quatre ans plus tard, l'arrivée bienvenue du film, trop longue mais parfois époustouflante, parvient à divertir sans engourdir l'esprit. Assurez-vous de rester pour la scène post-générique qui change l'ambiance de la fin du film et fait allusion à un avenir avec un nouveau départ.

Ma io credo ci sia un girone all'inferno per chi fa i post mettendo a confronto una dieta "rigida" con una flessibile per evidenziare che entrambe hanno lo stesso apporto calorico. A parte che mi fai una dieta da 1700 calorie e chi cazzo sei, philip phelps*? E poi le voci sono meravigliose, tipo "pasta col tonno: 450 calorie", quindi se faccio mezzo chilo di fettuccine con dodici scatolette Rio mare dovrei dimagrire, giusto? Ma vabbè, a parte queste quisquilie ho letto un esempio di "dieta flessibile" in cui sono presenti solamente pasta e merendine confezionate, quindi ignorando completamente tutti i valori nutrizionali dei singoli alimenti, quando lo sanno tutti che l'unico modo per mantenere nel tempo una dieta sana ed equilibrata che ti permetta di mangiare anche tutti i tuoi alimenti preferiti deve necessariamente prevedere un massiccio introito di cocaina.

*edit: chiaramente sto parlando di michael phelps, non philip phelps che non esiste, o meglio un philip phelps esisterà pure oltre ad essere il frutto di un mio lapsus per associazione fonetica.

Hai mai visto Nick Cave in concerto? E i Swans? Per me sarebbe un sogno vedere entrambi ma mi pare che i concerti di Nick Cave siano sempre in posti enormi, stracolmi di gente. Mentre i Swans verranno a Milano il 14 maggio ed il posto in cui suoneranno sembra molto "intimo", diciamo. Ero curiosa di sapere un tuo parere.

Visti tutti e due più volte.

Quello di Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds è stato un concerto struggente e pieno di emozioni, quasi catartico verso la fine.

Ha fatto salire un po' di gente sul palco e ha cantato le ultime canzoni assieme a loro, come in un metaforico abbraccio per esorcizzare il dolore.

Per gli Swans invece ti consiglio di portarti dei tappi per le orecchie (se i tuoi timpani sono ancora sani e in salute).

Quando li ho visti per la prima volta era l'unica data in Italia e il posto era stracolmo.

Dopo un'ora di concerto a volumi inumani (che io adoro) e con un caldo soffocante la gente incominciava a svenire, li portavano fuori come mosche morte mentre Michael Gira continuava a a muoversi ormai in trance e sputava i suoi lamenti nel microfono.

Mi sembrava di stare in un girone infernale.

Come avrai capito sono due esperienze da fare per arricchirsi a livello umano e artistico.

The two women were part of the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protests, and are the latest targets in a national effort to punish more environmental activists—especially indigenous peoples—for protesting and taking direct action against fossil fuel projects that they believe sacrifice the future of their water, lands, and planet.

Jessica Reznicek and Ruby Montoya weren’t arrested then, however. They stood in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, which was spearheading the resistance, by damaging the crude oil pipeline along its Iowa route. The DOJ announced their charges—which include conspiracy to damage an energy facility, use of fire in the commission of a felony, and malicious use of fire—Wednesday. The women claimed these crimes years ago, though, so it’s unclear why the DOJ is charging them now.

In July 2017, Reznicek and Montoya stood before the Iowa Utilities Board office and described burning parts of the pipeline and pieces of equipment along the route of the Dakota Access Pipeline. This was all illegal as hell, but the activists wanted to see the project delayed by any means necessary.

“With DAPL, we have seen incredible issues regarding the rule of law, indigenous sovereignty, land seizures, state-sanctioned brutality, as well as corporate protections and pardons for their wrongdoings,” Reznicek said during that summer day in Iowa some two years ago, per the Des Moines Register.

Now, Reznicek and Montoya face up to 110 years in prison for these alleged crimes. If convicted, they would be the latest to go to jail for protesting the pipeline. All of the other individuals have been incarcerated are indigenous, Carl Williams, the executive director of the Water Protector Legal Collective, which is representing them in court, told Earther. There were 761 arrests made during the protests, but only five individuals have served time. Some are still in prison, but others are out on parole and, as Williams put it, “still under the control of the federal government.”

Among those still in jail is is Red Fawn Fallis who is serving nearly a five-year sentence for illegally possessing a gun and shooting it during a protest. Her case, in particular, received some media attention after The Intercept reported that the gun in question belonged to her romantic partner at the time, Heath Harmon, who was also working undercover for the FBI as an informant. However, the rest of the individuals who have been incarcerated due to the indigenous uprising at Standing Rock have received little attention. They include Michael “Little Feather” Giron who was released last week after serving more than two years in prison for blocking a highway law enforcement was trying to access at the height of the protests. Michael “Rattler” Markus is still serving a three-year sentence.

“I tell people there are still people in prison, and they’re shocked,” said Williams. “All of it should receive more attention than it does.”

The world’s reliance on fossil fuels needs to end real soon if we’re going to avoid a worst-case scenario of what climate change may look like and leave a world hospitable enough for future generations. That’s made a growing number of people turn to direct action. In New Hampshire earlier this month, activists tried to steal coal from a power plant to highlight the need to stop burning coal in light of the climate crisis. Nearly 70 people were arrested.

Lighting the Council Fire: Paintings of Suiko Betsy McCall (MFA 2009) On view through January 30 at San Francisco’s Zen Center, Suikos writes about Lighting the Council Fire: “Whether with a pencil or paint, these works on paper explore the interaction between a structure set up by an evolving, repeating system and the unpredictable chaos of the spill, smudge, or breath-initiated brushstroke. By engaging the repetitive rhythms of practice, my work also aims to reshape my life as an Artmonk.”

“Rackets” and “Laminates” – Richard Goldberg (MFA 1987) Opening February 1 at 1pm at Far Out Gallery, this show will feature selections from two recent groups of work: “Rackets” and “laminates”.

The “Rackets” are an ongoing group of wall mounted, mixed media sculptural works. Theses sculptures are made with a variety of found objects and materials which take on new identities and meanings as they are synthesized into a single artwork of rhyming shapes, forms and imagery. Each “Racket” work has its own engaging identity, and story to tell.

Shown alongside of the “Rackets” will be collages that are called “Laminates” These works are 2 dimensional, irregular shaped collages of images, symbols, photographs and other visual material. These shaped collages are then laminated and cut out, to become a kind of flat sculpture with shapes and voids around the perimeter of each collage but also within and throughout the entire composition. They are floated in a shadow box frame which brings out their 3 dimensionality. The “Laminates” were a product of an evolution of ideas and impulses that lead the artist to move on to the more robust 3 dimensionality of the “Rackets”.

Mike Henderson: The Black Paintings + David Simpson: Interference On view through March 28, 2020 at Haines Gallery.

Mike Henderson: The Black Paintings (MFA 1970): Showcasing a body of related works made primarily in the 1990s by recent Artadia Award winner Mike Henderson, the paintings included in this exhibition feature a rich palette of lush blacks, steel grays, and ultramarine blues. Set against the darkness, small shapes of bright blues, yellows, and reds flicker like jewels. Henderson’s experimental films from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s will be shown in dialogue with the paintings. Politically charged and wickedly funny, these remarkable shorts have been screened at museums and festivals around the world. In addition to the exhibition, The Mike Henderson Band will be performing on January 17 as part of UNTITLED, ART San Francisco. Click here for tickets and more information!

David Simpson: Interference (BFA 1956): Acclaimed Bay Area painter David Simpson’s exhibition takes its title from his use of “interference” pigments, which shift in color with changes in light and the viewer’s perspective. Each canvas on view is the result of up to thirty coats of paint, meticulously layered to create a deep, lustrous surface. Now in his 90s, Simpson continues to delight with works of remarkable dynamism, evoking the movement of clouds, or the play of light across water, ultimately offering viewers a powerful space of contemplation.
