Trump has persuaded lots of people (his supporters) that tariffs are good; just saying to end them without a reason won’t change many minds or start potentially good conversations.

someone in group (need not be core group) can research some slogans and we pop in… or you or I could (not me until later today).

the emergence of flamenco árabe is both an unexpected and culturally resonant phenomenon. While the linguistic and historical distance between Spaniards and Arab culture might initially make such fusions seem improbable, the text astutely frames them as a reflection of deeper undercurrents in the sociocultural landscape of southern Spain. The phrase “reunite Andalusian and Arab cultures” is particularly evocative—it gestures toward a historical memory of al-Andalus and a shared musical past that some flamenco artists are now consciously reactivating.

What stood out to me in this paragraph is how external forces, like audience expectations and market demands, don’t just influence how flamenco is performed—they actually shift the internal hierarchy of the tradition itself. For example, the focus on dance over song shows that traditions are not always preserved in their original form, but are reshaped based on what’s popular or profitable. This makes me wonder how much of today’s flamenco is still guided by its original cultural values versus what is demanded by modern entertainment.
