Finished Harley Quinn Season 1

This is a great series. It plays with many major sections of the DC Universe in inventive ways that make sense for those characters while working with the more irreverent tone. The voice cast is excellent and the gags land.

CHICANO ART MOVEMENT visits: “Rasquachismo” 2024

On Saturday 05/11/24, we visited Huntington Beach Art Center to view “Rasquachismo” in the city of Huntington Beach, California.

(“Beyond Timeless” by Justin Favela, 2022)

We learned from the mission statement that: “‘Rasquachismo,’ [is] a multi-media exhibition celebrating the aesthetics and transformative power of Lowriders. Featuring work by William Camargo with Alkaid Ramirez, Justin Favela, Stephanie Mercado, Arturo Meza Il, Aaron Moctezuma, Jose Manuel Flores Nava, Alicia Villegas-Rolon, and Cora J. Quiroz.”

(“Anaheim in Flux” by William Camargo with Alkaid Ramirez, 2024)

“Emerging from the barrios of Southern California, lowriding brought forth a long resistance against the American Dream and dominant idealist norms that attempted to anglicize the young Chicanx individual. Forces of the Anglo-American culture did all it could to disrupt and omit the lowrider. From individual traffic stops to passing county-wide laws, all were attempts to take the lowrider off the streets. Low and slow, their metallic bodies transfigured in response. Now, unapologetically visible, lowriders glisten in candy-colored paint and dance with the aid of hydraulics. The power of lowriding extends beyond the car's aesthetics, however. It has become a rasquachismo expression of Mexican-American, and, eventually, Chicanx identity.”

(“Highland Park” by Stephanie Mercado, 2023)

A favorite of Robert’s at the “Rasquachismo” exhibit was Stephanie Mercado’s “Highland Park.” Through a little research, we learned that “‘Highland Park’ honors the cultural richness of the area including its history, diversity, and its valuable contributions to the broader arts and culture sector of Los Angeles. Utilizing imagery and icons sourced from the neighborhood, this piece celebrates the enduring local landmarks and showcases the architectural diversity that defines the area. Simultaneously, it pays homage to the artists and art spaces that have played a vital role in making Highland Park a vibrant and lively neighborhood for generations.” 

(Detailed view of “We Can Dream” by Cora J. Quiroz, 2022)

From the museum ephemera, we learned that this painting entitled “We Can Dream” by Cora J. Quiroz is part of a series called “Not Your Typical Rosie.” 

The artist states: “I paint women in a way that removes them from being acquiescent muses in typical artworks. From action, body language, and clothing, to expression, I ensure the women I paint have active roles of inspiration, movement, and storytelling. Raised by my mother, I learned about my family’s history through oral tradition. Rather than beng inspred by male-dominated stories in media, I became inspired by the Indigenous and Mexican women of my family, taking spaces where they were not expected.

The simplest acts typical for a man to perform, can often be taboo for women, such as working in the car industry. Despite this, for many years there have been women who have gone against the grain to become whoever they pleased to be, going beyond the WWII icon associated with strong women. These are the stories that inspire my work.” 

(“El Cuento de los Panes: A Community Installation Inspired by Dr. Tomás Ybarra-Frausto” organized by the Exhibition Design students at Laguna College of Art and Design, 2024) 

The exhibition statement shares that the term rasquachismo was “coined by Chicano scholar and art critic Tomás Ybarra-Frausto to describe ‘an underdog perspective, a view from los de abajo’ (from below) in working class Chicanx communities which uses elements of ‘hybridization, juxtaposition, and integration’ as a means of empowerment and resistance.”

The Huntington Beach Art Center presents “Rasquachismo” curated by Laura Black until June 1st, 2024 with their last programming event of an artist discussion is set for Saturday May 25th, 2024 from 1pm to 2:30pm.

Bused Migrants Arrested In Macy’s Heist

Story by Devan Bugbee • Yesterday 5:29 PM

The four men police arrested in connection to a Nassau County, New York, Jan. 9 Macy’s heist turned out to be bused migrants from Texas, officials announced Monday.

Police arrested Wrallan Cabezas Meza, 19, Miguel Angel Rojas, 21, Rafael Rojas, 27, and Jose Garcia Escobar, 30, for allegedly stealing $12,489 in merchandise from the Macy’s Roosevelt Field in Garden City, New York, the New York Post reported.

Police reportedly nabbed the gang in a 2006 BMW with fake license plates in Hampstead, New York, after pulling over the vehicle for failing to use a turn signal. The men apparently told a Spanish-speaking Nassau County detective that they were originally bused to New York from Texas, Detective Lt. Richard Lebrun told the outlet.

Macy’s did not comment on what merchandise the migrants stole but that all the goods were returned. Law enforcement charged the men with 3rd-degree grand larceny, Fox5 reported. They were reportedly tied to a South American thievery ring, Newsday noted. Meza received additional charges for traffic violations, the Fox5 mentioned.

The migrants showed up to court for a Jan. 10 initial appearance and were released without bail, the New York Post added.

Meza reportedly crossed the U.S.-Mexico border July 4, 2022, and the rest of the men followed in September, the outlet reported. Both the Rojas had been living in a hotel in Manhatten, New York.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman stated that the country is in the midst of a “crisis at the border, and it has now migrated across the United States to the New York City metropolitan area,” according to New York Post. Democratic New York City Mayor made similar statements about the surge of migrants, saying the city has “no room” for illegal migrants.

“Here in Nassau County, our police department is going to be vigilant in making sure that anybody who commits a crime is tracked down, caught and arrested,” Blakeman added.

The doubles quarterfinals of the Concepcion Challenger then continued with Roy Stepanov/Andres Urrea, who stunned second seeds Pedro Boscardin Dias/Alvaro Guillen Meza 6-2, 6-3 in a confident performance, facing Tomas Farjat/Gonzalo Bueno, who defeated wild cards Javier Guzman/Jose Luis Zenteno 6-1, 6-3 in the first round. This turned out to be a fruitful match in terms of their point construction in one way or another, but it all came down to the final execution in some crucial moments.

R. Stepanov/A. Urrea initially had a break point to start the match as T. Farjat/G. Bueno started to navigate the flow, but the latter still managed to hold their service game by the end of that game. It was not until the seventh game of the first set, where T. Farjat's timely forehand winner set him & G. Bueno 2 points ahead, which could overwhelm R. Stepanov/A. Urrea's net game. This started to pay off as R. Stepanov's failed volley in response to the preceding exchange led T. Farjat/G. Bueno to break 4-3.

Afterward, without any further hesitation, T. Farjat/G. Bueno consolidated their position with a service game hold to 5-3. They then earned the chance to serve for the first set two games later, which they successfully did to take the first set 6-4, setting themselves in front position during the match.

For Whom the Bell Tolls, A New Opera in Two Acts from Brian Wilbur Grundstrom on Vimeo.

"Fighting Fascism and Sacrificing for Love"

Hem­ing­way was a larger-than-life personality. In his popular novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, we can see some of the author in the character of Robert Jordan, an idealistic young American in 1930's Spain, who accepts a doomed mission to blow up a bridge.

Through his lyrical melody-driven music, Brian Wil­bur Grund­strom brings out the emotional depths of the characters and new insight to this Hem­ing­way classic. Using the full versatility of opera, David Dorsen's libretto and Grund­strom's music explore Hem­ing­way's themes of trust, loyalty, honor, love, betrayal, fear, pain, loss, and sacrifice, while adding modern insight, as Robert Jordan's notions of honor clash with the reality of civil war.

The opera takes place in the mountains of northern Spain during the Spanish Civil War in 1937.
