Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd. Ach, nein hier ja nicht. Im Gegensatz zu meinen nicht so Sondheim-affinen Kollegen, die den Film mit “Prima Film, aber warum singen sie?” kommentieren, frage ich ja eher “Warum singen sie nicht alles?” Sie verstehen auch gar nicht, warum ich so eine lange Pause zwischen “Fleet” und “Street” mache. Als verspäteter Geburtstagsfilm zum 60. (doch au scho wieder) von Johnny Depp (am 9.) ist Tim Burtons zwar balladenlose, und nicht gar so schön gesungene (aber das hatten wir schon), doch prächtige Verfilmung natürlich ganz hervorragend.

Marbled Monday
Well if it isn’t time for another Marbled Monday! This week’s marbling was found while preparing items to be loaned for an upcoming exhibition at MIAD’s Layton Gallery celebrating over 40 years of Woodland Pattern Book Center, Then as Now: Woodland Pattern 1980-2022. The exhibition will be on display this fall, from October 10, 2022 to December 2, 2022. 
The book is by poet, activist, publisher and member of the rock band the Fugs Ed Sanders. This facsimile edition of A Book of Glyphs was published by Granary Books in New York City in 2014 in an edition of 51 copies numbered and signed by the poet. The book was produced by Diane Bertolo and Steve Clay with Tom Damrauer and Katherine Kuehn. It was printed by Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints and bound by Judith Ivry who also made the boxes and bound Glyph Notes, an accompanying text with descriptions/explanations of the glyphs. Click each image to see the accompanying note. 
There’s no information in the colophon about the marbling, but I believe it’s either a shell pattern or it is overprinted. There is multi-colored veining in red, yellow, cream, and black over a mottled blue pattern.

The interesting thing about seeing people discover Ed Gamble through Taskmaster is that some look at his desperation dedication to win, judge him by his general appearance and interactions with Greg and the rest of the cast, and pass him off as some stereotypical, overbearing "jock" character, when in reality he's a type 1 diabetic, asthmatic, ex-goth kid who used to collect salt and pepper pots and geodes, who dislikes sports partly due to bad school experiences, who loves food, heavy metal, comic books, board games, his wife, and his cat that he's allergic to, and who's talked openly about his mental and physical struggles with losing weight and managing his type 1.
I dunno, I just find it funny when I see people describe him as "a high school bully" or a "hostile competitor" when he's clearly just an over-excitable, super massive TM nerd whose dream was to be on the show and make love to some hummus.

Ed: You're good friends with John. When you heard he was doing the show, what was your first thought? Lou: I thought, oh thank God he'll stop bitching about not being on Taskmaster. Didn't you? Ed: No, I loved him bitching about not being on Taskmaster!

[ID: Two screencaps from Taskmaster. Ed Gamble says, "It was 97 minutes of utterly wasted time." Lou Sanders replies fondly, "I've never seen such a well-dressed loser though." End ID.]

In his op-ed for The Guardian, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders propels the American labor conversation forward by arguing for a 20% cut in the standard 40-hour workweek, without any loss in pay.
He points to the 480% increase in worker productivity since 1940, asserting that such gains have mainly enriched corporations while leaving the working class in a perpetual state of struggle.
Sanders' rallying cry resonates with the ongoing initiatives by labor unions, especially the United Auto Workers (UAW), which recently initiated strikes against major automotive companies such as Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Stellantis. The UAW is also pushing for a four-day workweek while preserving the pay for a five-day week, a demand that Sanders supports. This is part of a long-running struggle by unions to balance productivity gains against working hours that has seen little progress over the years as real wages in the auto industry have declined by 17%.
Research backs the concept of a reduced workweek, with a study led by Boston College Professor Juliet Schor indicating that efficiency can increase without requiring workers to cram more tasks into fewer hours.
International examples provide practical confirmation. In France and Norway, shorter workweeks are either in place or under consideration. A U.K. pilot study involving 3,000 workers in over 60 companies demonstrated increased happiness and productivity with a four-day workweek, prompting 92% of the participating companies to adopt the new schedule permanently.
Public opinion in the United States is also aligning with this idea. A Morning Consult survey showed that 87% of employed adults in the U.S. are interested in a four-day workweek, and 82% believe it could work on a broader scale. Likewise, a study by 4 Day Week Global revealed that none of the companies participating in four-day workweek experiments in North America have plans to revert to a traditional five-day week.
Despite these positive indicators, Sanders acknowledges the uphill battle to win these changes. Any benefits for the working class won't be "easily handed over by the corporate elite," he said.
Yet, as automation and technological progress, like the anticipated efficiencies in electric vehicle manufacturing, continue to threaten traditional work structures, they also underscore the feasibility of a reduced workweek.
The synergy between the voice of labor unions, the American working class, international examples and influential policymakers like Sanders makes the vision of a four-day workweek not merely a pipe dream but a realistic, achievable objective that could reshape labor norms for future generations.
