Amor-ica

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Opinions!

American-flag-rothko_commentary Love it. Hate it. It sparks passion from all sides, and everyone has an opinion… so in honor of the USA’s 233rd birthday, we’re sharing ours (and welcome yours). Some are serious. Some are funny. But they all shed some fresh light on what America means to the world today.

Calling Out Your Friends

White Liberalism

Sisepuede_commentary Speaking truth to power rarely qualifies as fun, but at times it’s necessary. Paul, along with special guest contributor Alex Chavez from Maneja Beto, take their friends to task on the laziness that allows caricatures to become truth. They’re not talking to the obvious “bad guys,” they’re talking to us, so this might sting a little.

Spotlight on Rhode Island

Size Doesn't Matter

Move-to-providence_commentary The smallest state in the U.S. is home to some of its most interesting people. We shine the spotlight on a few of them with music, interviews and videos. Forget the usual promo hype. This place has the kind of independent streak that we all love. And don’t miss the media player content, too. Deer Tick, The Low Anthem, AS220, Jeff Soderbergh, “41,” trailers from the Rhode Island International Film Festival – all made in Rhode Island.

Rhode Island Feature: AS220

Providence is home to one of the most impressive, dynamic and progressive arts organization. Get to know AS220’s co-founder and Artistic Director, Bert Crenca.

Images_commentary Originally from http://thinwildmercurythought.blogspot.com/ The following is a guest post from Ali Alizadeh, Researcher at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University. You can also see him discussing the situation in Iran here on BBC’s Newsnight. [This piece is copyright-free. Please distrbute widely.] Iran is currently in the grip of a new and strong political movement. While this movement proves that Ahmadinejad’s populist techniques of deception no ...
Iran_support_normal_normal_commentary I think it’s vital we start out here with something concrete. After all, there is little point in theorising with no intended result in reality. And most theories, if useful at all are in any case a form of praxis in kernel form. A battle of ideologies is raging in Iran as we speak. Many of us look on with a feeling of disquiet. What can we do to help? Well, this is certainly not a localised problem, and we all have a right to be concerned with developments in Iran, as they go far be...

The Futurists

K0213982_commentary From tyranny to Utopia, crazed artists to mad scientists, end of the world prophecies to amoral fables, we’ve got the future covered. The future’s a gift you give to yourself, and for now it’s entirely the thought that counts. Today we’ve done the thinking for you. Tomorrow, well…

Media Panic

Thb_0396b87afe59c6b0b67c73ab4ea6329b_commentary If you found yourself getting through an extraordinary amount of handwash about a month back, whilst avoiding public transport at all costs and performing the occasional somersault in order to avoid the globules of phlegm emitting from the one or two persons ignorant enough to forget to cover their mouths whilst coughing, then you’ll know all about media panics: i.e. they’re led by the media, but it’s we, the people, who do the panicking! Though, come to think of it, donR...

Brighton_fringe_festival_commentary Brighton Fringe Coverage – Part 1 This week on Indieoma you can read the first part of our Brighton Fringe Festival coverage. Perfectly tailored to today’s pace of living, when a night out at the theatre clashes with so much else; Bite Size introduces 6 new ten minutes plays within the space of an hour. Primarily a lunchtime event (indeed there are a few people munching on sandwiches here today) although there are also a handful of brunch performances at weekends, the concept eve...
