Tragedy, Tech, and Trump: A Week of Global Upheaval

Multiple news sources report that the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both killed by federal agents and initially labeled terrorists, sparked public outrage, but Pretti's death proved to be a tipping point, galvanizing broader opposition to the Trump administration's tactics and prompting investigations and shifts in public opinion, particularly among conservatives and independents. This shift is attributed to Pretti's death being seen as part of a trend of casualties from the federal crackdown, unlike Good's death which, while tragic, did not resonate as widely across political lines.

According to multiple sources, M83's album "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" is a post-rock record reminiscent of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, showcasing a French twist on the genre with its use of drum machines, analog synths, and compressed guitar to create a liminal and uncanny atmosphere. Before M83 embraced 80s-inspired pop, this album represented a period of mostly instrumental music, drawing inspiration from the repetitive bombast of other bands.
