French film director Jean-Luc Godard, a pioneer of the French New Wave, has died of assisted suicide in Switzerland. The 91-year-old’s legal adviser, Patrick Jeanneret, confirmed the news to The New York Times, saying he had suffered from “multiple disabling pathologies.” “He could not live like you and me, so he decided with a great lucidity, as he had all his life, to say, ‘Now, it’s enough,’” Jeanneret was quoted saying.
The Libération newspaper, citing Godard’s wife and producers, reported that he died at his home in Switzerland, where assisted suicide is legal. “He was not sick, he was simply exhausted,” the paper cited a relative as saying.
Godard, known for films like Breathless, Alphaville, and Contempt, was a revolutionary force in filmmaking, often pushing boundaries and helping to create a whole new generation of filmmakers after he shot to fame in the 1960s, injecting pop culture into dialogues and inspiring future directors like Quentin Tarantino.
His most recent film, The Image Book, won the the special Palme d’Or prize at Cannes in 2018. Former French Culture Minister Jack Lang, in comments to France Info radio on Tuesday, called Godard “absolutely unique,” saying, “He wasn’t just cinema, he was philosophy, poetry.”

Contain and Defeat
Last weekend was full of grief and glory. Queen Elizabeth II died, and like many Americans, I felt the pang of loss. The Queen, a seemingly eternal part of our world, was a stalwart ally of the United States, and a model of dignity and duty. But while focusing on the mourning and pageantry, we might have lost track of another potentially world-changing story in Ukraine. The Ukrainians, using a combination of clever strategy, military fortitude, and Western weapons, have routed the Russians from a series of positions around Kharkiv.
These were not merely defeats; the Russians were abandoning their posts and leaving behind their equipment even before the Ukrainians could reach them. Apparently, Russian soldiers do not want to die for President Vladimir Putin’s pathetic dream of reestablishing a state that had already perished before some of them were even born. This is an immense humiliation for the Russians and for Putin personally, and Russian pundits are already yelling at one another in panic on state television. The Russian state’s newspaper of record, Rossiskaya Gazeta, is, as the analyst Mark Galeotti noted, stammering and contradicting itself trying to wave away yet another Russian military disaster.
https://twitter.com/MarkGaleotti/status/1568939221259280384
So what happens next? In some quarters, we might expect calls for the Ukrainians to negotiate. But to what end? As my Atlantic colleague Anne Applebaum wrote, there’s nothing to discuss. Putin “has put the destruction of Ukraine at the very center of his foreign and domestic policies, and at the heart of what he wants his legacy to be.” Negotiation, from the first day of the war, was impossible. The only answer was to stand and fight, which the Ukrainians have done with valor and tenacity.
There is a lesson for all of us here as we face the global attack on democracy. Americans, generally, are the products of a legalistic, free-market, democratic society, so we prize negotiation and dealmaking. We think almost any problem is amenable to rational discussion and good-faith exchanges. Each side gives something and gets something. But what if the person across the table has no interest in compromise?

Ukraine Stands, Fights, and Wins

Mark Finchem, the Republican nominee for Arizona secretary of state, talks a lot about tracking: procedures, processes, audits, the path a ballot takes from voter to tabulator. He’s a member of the Arizona state House of Representatives, and has a formal way of speaking, full of numerical legislation titles and terminology, but also talks about things seen and unseen. Like a number of other Republican nominees for secretary of state this year, Mr. Finchem claims the last election was fraudulent.
“Here’s why we know it didn’t happen,” he told an interviewer who had just suggested Arizona may have actually voted for Joe Biden in 2020. “It’s nonsense intuitively. Leading up to the election, this would be August, September, October. It first started off that you’d see a Trump train of maybe a dozen cars, and this is in my community. It’s one community, but I think it’s fairly representative of Arizona. You’d see a Trump train of maybe a dozen cars.” The hosts start cracking jokes about Biden trains behind gas stations these days, but in the interview, Mr. Finchem remains undeterred and unlaughing: First it was 12 cars, then 24, then 48, culminating in a three-mile Trump train. This is the kind of thing Mr. Finchem will abruptly say amid talk of election procedure.
In November 2020, Mr. Finchem was part of a hearing in Arizona where Rudy Giuliani aired claims of election fraud; Mr. Finchem went to Washington on Jan. 6. He wants to decertify the 2020 election and for Arizona to withdraw from the Electronic Registration Information Center, a nonpartisan organization funded by participating states that helps them to find potential voters and determine duplicate active registrations. He also could win in Arizona this year; the state has been decidedly close the last several elections.
His public comments tend to be both premised on the possibility of rampant voter fraud — which, in actuality, takes place rarely — and reflect a kind of individualism that’s a part of the tech and society we already have, where individuals routinely arbitrate and police disputes online. Mr. Finchem has called himself “probably an evangelist” for a 2013 book by Matthew Trewhella called “The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates.” A favorite of some extreme anti-abortion activists, the book argues that officials have an obligation to stop enforcement of laws that violate, in the author’s view, God’s wishes, specifically laws that legalize abortion or acceptance of homosexuality.

Mark Finchem Says Biden Didn't Win in 2020, and He Has Big Plans for Elections in Arizona

https://archive.ph/Lc64b
The Hasidic Jewish community has long operated one of New York’s largest private schools on its own terms, resisting any outside scrutiny of how its students are faring. But in 2019, the school, the Central United Talmudical Academy, agreed to give state standardized tests in reading and math to more than 1,000 students. Every one of them failed.
Students at nearly a dozen other schools run by the Hasidic community recorded similarly dismal outcomes that year, a pattern that under ordinary circumstances would signal an education system in crisis. But where other schools might be struggling because of underfunding or mismanagement, these schools are different. They are failing by design.
The leaders of New York’s Hasidic community have built scores of private schools to educate children in Jewish law, prayer and tradition — and to wall them off from the secular world. Offering little English and math, and virtually no science or history, they drill students relentlessly, sometimes brutally, during hours of religious lessons conducted in Yiddish. The result, a New York Times investigation has found, is that generations of children have been systematically denied a basic education, trapping many of them in a cycle of joblessness and dependency.
Segregated by gender, the Hasidic system fails most starkly in its more than 100 schools for boys. Spread across Brooklyn and the lower Hudson Valley, the schools turn out thousands of students each year who are unprepared to navigate the outside world, helping to push poverty rates in Hasidic neighborhoods to some of the highest in New York. The schools appear to be operating in violation of state laws that guarantee children an adequate education. Even so, The Times found, the Hasidic boys’ schools have found ways of tapping into enormous sums of government money, collecting more than $1 billion in the past four years alone.

In Hasidic Enclaves, Failing Private Schools Flush With Public Money
New York’s Hasidic Jewish religious schools have benefited from $1 billion in government funding in the last four years but are unaccountable to outside oversight.https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/11/nyregion/hasidic-yeshivas-schools-new-york.html

The cost-of-living crisis, Kate Pickett writes, follows a familiar path of hugely unequal burdens. It’s time to change course.
https://socialeurope.eu/here-we-go-again
I’m feeling outraged, with a strong sense of déjà-vu. From my vantage point in the United Kingdom—where inequality and social injustice are in particularly sharp focus—we’re on the brink of yet another social and economic crisis. Even more so than in the rest of Europe, energy prices and the cost of living are rocketing. Yet what is happening at the top? What are our leaders doing? Why are some people, yet again, making eye-watering financial gains while others face destitution and a real fear of being cold and hungry this winter?
The image springs to mind of Nero fiddling while Rome burns—a depraved, corrupt and wildly unpopular emperor, blithely playing music while the populace suffers and failing through inertia to provide any leadership in a crisis. On a wider canvas, it encapsulates the inadequacies of so many political leaders over recent years, from the global financial crisis to the pandemic, in the face of the climate emergency and now the spiralling cost of living.
As a child, I thought the ‘fiddling’ Nero was up to related to the other English meaning of the word—obtaining money dishonestly, by embezzlement or corruption. I mistakenly assumed he had raided the imperial treasury and made off with his ill-gotten gold. It turns out, however, that my infant misconception makes for exactly the right metaphor of how business figures and investors have profited from the hardship of others. And that provokes even more moral outrage than the passive failures of hapless political leaders.
Unscrupulous practices
Look at who suffered from the global financial crisis. It wasn’t the rich, who had caused the problem through unscrupulous financial practices. It was the rest of us who paid the price, as average real incomes declined—and the poorest who suffered the most, with the lowest-paid workers seeing the steepest falls in wages. Meanwhile, the pay of top chief executives shot up. In the years following the crash, the world’s richest 1 per cent increased their wealth until they owned more than the bottom half of the world’s entire population.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II revived longstanding criticism in the US over the monarchy’s enrichment from the British empire’s violent colonization of African, Asian and Caribbean nations and their diasporas. Since her death on Thursday, American commentators, academics, and a former US diplomat, among others, took to social media and elsewhere to call for fully wrestling with the British monarchy’s lasting influence in light of the monarch’s death.
https://twitter.com/KarenAttiah/status/1567889946765148171
Though millions across the world mourned, many also saw the Queen’s passing as a bitter reminder of the British empire’s violent exploitation of countries throughout history – resulting in decades of suffering, death, and economic and social devastation – and a time to renew calls for reparations.
https://twitter.com/jemelehill/status/1567937227170398208
Harvard University history professor Maya Jasanoff wrote in the New York Times that the Queen’s stoic presence in life as a “fixture of stability” underlied a “stolid traditionalist front over decades of violent upheaval”. She pointed out that months after Elizabeth II learned of her father’s death from treetops in Kenya and became queen, British colonial authorities in Kenya suppressed a rebellion against the colonial regime known as Mau Mau, which, according to the New York Times, “led to the establishment of a vast system of detention camps and the torture, rape, castration and killing of tens of thousands of people”.
The British government eventually paid £20m in a lawsuit by Kenyan survivors. Cornell University professor Mukoma Wa Ngugi decried the “theater” surrounding the Queen’s death.

Australia’s own Parkway Drive are an undeniable force in the current heavy music landscape. Having earned their stripes in the early 2000’s metalcore scene, PWD have since gone on to become a household name within modern metal and possibly take the throne as the genre’s next heavyweight headliners. With their 2015 album IRE, the band embarked on this ambitious journey to go beyond their metalcore roots and aim for a sound that resonates with larger audiences and consequently bigger venues. However, the band’s formidable drive would only be fully realized with their 2018 album Reverence, which eventually led to them headlining one of the biggest metal festivals in the world, 2019’s Wacken Open Air. Now nearly three years later, Parkway Drive have channeled all this momentum into what’s undoubtedly the most important milestone of their career — their seventh studio album Darker Still.
Provided all the success the band’s seen over the past two album cycles, it was inevitable that Darker Still would be the band’s climactic return, especially considering the album’s conception was during the world wide pandemic. However, to no one’s expectation it was almost the band’s breaking point as well. This past spring PWD were set to hit the road on a highly anticipated North American headlining tour featuring the likes of Hatebreed, The Black Dhalia Murder, and Stick To Your Guns. A month before the tour started PWD posted a statement announcing the cancellation of all dates and that they were taking time to work on internal issues as a band and as individuals, but they reassured fans that their return would “burn brighter than the past.” To that end, today marks the official release of Darker Still and if there’s one thing for certain it’s that the future does in fact look brighter than ever for Parkway Drive. In speaking with Forbes, Parkway Drive frontman Winston McCall details the conception of Darker Still and why it ended up being one of the most difficult and triumphant periods in their 20 years as a band.

On top of Darker Still coming out, you all are embarking on your first European tour in nearly 3 years. What has prepping for both of these massive milestones been like, especially given it’ll be the band’s first tour in this new landscape?
WM: It’s hectic [laughs]. It’s pretty weird because with not having done a tour for three years you realize what momentum actually means in the sense of muscle memory and having systems in place that you were used to operating in, and going from a full on cold start back into touring mode, essentially we’ve never done that ever. We’ve just been going and building momentum from day one, so this is pretty nuts trying to get it all started again and get it all back to the place where it actually was, which is pretty insane in the first place. Then at the same time we have a record rollout going on as well, so everything is just going at 100 miles per hour. Our brains are fried but in a good way, we’re really really excited. The reality of how much work goes into it was kind of lost on me previously when I was doing work.

This record is obviously different from the last in a number of ways, while of course it still bears the band’s signature sound. However, was there a conscious decision in where you wanted to take this record both sonically and lyrically?
WM: There was definitely an intent. Basically when we finish writing a record we immediately know what we want to start doing the next time. We know what we liked about the previous work that we put down and also what we hadn’t achieved and what doors we hadn’t walked through. We had already said we’re only going forwards and Reverence (2018) was an experience of creating something sonic where we’re like, we love the steps we took forward but we’re still going to continue going forward, this isn’t the end point. Then COVID hit and that was the circuit breaker for music in general. That was the thing where all of a sudden you didn’t even have time to focus on any kind of art, like the first couple of months was ‘oh my god the world’s going to end, reassess your entire life.’ So when we finally came back on the other side of it it took us six months of easing into this thing and the reality of ‘it’s going to be a couple years before we’re going to be touring again,’ and then the interest for writing took hold.
