His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

She has been sharp, but she was never cruel. She has been on the side of the reader, always. If a book was a ‘lumpy hodgepodge,’ she has said that it was a lumpy hodgepodge—even if the creator of the mess happened to have been Margaret Atwood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And this in turn meant that, when Michiko Kakutani liked a book, the liking itself was a very, very big deal. Her criticism helped to make the careers of David Foster Wallace, and Zadie Smith, and George Saunders, and Mary Karr. And it helped to make her byline itself into a literary destination of its own. When Kakutani won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998, the judging committee cited not only her ‘fearless and authoritative’ journalism, but also the fact that her work had become ‘destination programming’ for people in the book world, such as it is, and beyond.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“It was like having the good fairy touch you on the shoulder with her wand,” Karr said of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/26/books/books-of-the-times-they-re-liars-and-that-s-just-the-least-of-their-problems.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the glowing review\u003c/a> she got from Kakutani. The review “was mostly about what a genius I was,” Karr laughed, “so yeah, she’s my best friend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kakutani said Thursday she may be leaving criticism, but she will not be leaving writing. “Moving on to focus on longer pieces about politics & culture,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/michikokakutani/status/890632785572114432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she tweeted\u003c/a>, “though i will always love & write about books.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a commemoration of her career in criticism, the \u003cem>Times\u003c/em> compiled a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/27/books/38-years-on-books-the-essential-michiko-kakutani-reader.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlight reel of her works here\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

She has been sharp, but she was never cruel. She has been on the side of the reader, always. If a book was a ‘lumpy hodgepodge,’ she has said that it was a lumpy hodgepodge—even if the creator of the mess happened to have been Margaret Atwood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And this in turn meant that, when Michiko Kakutani liked a book, the liking itself was a very, very big deal. Her criticism helped to make the careers of David Foster Wallace, and Zadie Smith, and George Saunders, and Mary Karr. And it helped to make her byline itself into a literary destination of its own. When Kakutani won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998, the judging committee cited not only her ‘fearless and authoritative’ journalism, but also the fact that her work had become ‘destination programming’ for people in the book world, such as it is, and beyond.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“It was like having the good fairy touch you on the shoulder with her wand,” Karr said of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/26/books/books-of-the-times-they-re-liars-and-that-s-just-the-least-of-their-problems.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the glowing review\u003c/a> she got from Kakutani. The review “was mostly about what a genius I was,” Karr laughed, “so yeah, she’s my best friend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kakutani said Thursday she may be leaving criticism, but she will not be leaving writing. “Moving on to focus on longer pieces about politics & culture,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/michikokakutani/status/890632785572114432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she tweeted\u003c/a>, “though i will always love & write about books.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a commemoration of her career in criticism, the \u003cem>Times\u003c/em> compiled a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/27/books/38-years-on-books-the-essential-michiko-kakutani-reader.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlight reel of her works here\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Poet Arisa White is the curator for the series, tapping fellow Bay Area members of Cave Canem (Latin for “beware the dog”), a poetry fellowship for African-American poets. As Ariana notes, what a beautiful and fun way to experience visual art — with a poet as your guide.

Ariana says she bonded with a boyfriend in her youth over the soulful groove of “Lowdown,” and Scaggs is still mixing it up in 2017, with a new album featuring his takes on songs by Fats Domino (see the video for “A Fool to Care” above), Al Green, and even the Spinners. Even though he owns Slim’s music club in San Francisco, Scaggs plays the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa on Aug. 1, Monterey’s Golden State Theater on Aug. 2, Saratoga’s Mountain Winery Aug. 8, and Livermore’s Wente Winery Aug. 15.

She grew up in a public housing complex in East London, where she drew behind the curtains and on the floor under her bed to avoid getting in trouble. Now, galleries are eager to have her use her Sharpies on their walls, because she’s become an international art star. Her style is a bit like Keith Haring, with a more whimsical streak. Her newest show is \u003cem>Charge Your Self\u003c/em>, and speckled among the googly eyes of the faces she draws are affirmations like “Share your voice. Use your magic.” Ariana says she got a lot of energy from the show. We both felt charged up. \u003ca href=\"http://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/2383359/charge-your-self-by-shantell-martin-at-chandran-gallery-san\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details for Martin’s show at Chandran Gallery in Union Square are here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks, Ariana!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13748662\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13748662\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-1-2-800x550.jpg\" alt=\"Ariana Proehl and Cy Musiker at the Chandran Gallery for the Shantell Martin show\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ariana Proehl and Cy Musiker at the Chandran Gallery for the Shantell Martin show. \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Chandran Gallery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now, galleries are eager to have her use her Sharpies on their walls, because she’s become an international art star. Her style is a bit like Keith Haring, with a more whimsical streak. Her newest show is \u003cem>Charge Your Self\u003c/em>, and speckled among the googly eyes of the faces she draws are affirmations like “Share your voice.

It’s not their lane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the news broke about SoundCloud’s lack of funding, artists have been warning each other to back up their catalogues and upload them to other platforms such as YouTube.

Oakland DJ Albert Luera, aka DJ Neto, compares the SoundCloud phenomenon to what happened to MySpace in the late 2000s, when the social network lost most of its users after becoming flooded with ads. As a result, many of the music subcultures that flourished on MySpace — such as the “bloghouse” electronic scene adjacent to Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records or the Bay Area’s hyphy movement — faded into obscurity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luera described his recent experience of poring over obscure MySpace profiles to find old hyphy songs he remembered from a decade ago. “If the loss of MySpace is any indication about how the loss of SoundCloud is gonna go, it was impossible to find those songs in any sort of quality. It was like googling lyrics and trying to find some message board that was gonna have it,” he says, adding that he fears that much of the music on SoundCloud will similarly be lost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sela Oner, a Vallejo producer who once compiled several volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/644-footworks-forgotten-archives-are-making-the-best-compilations-youve-never-heard/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forgotten 2000s Chicago footwork music by scouring the remains of MySpace\u003c/a>, says that the potential demise of SoundCloud might not be such a bad thing. In his view, some artists have gotten too stuck in the “SoundCloud rap” formula. “It’s affected music a lot, that’s why things sounds the same. So if SoundCloud dies, I think we kind of need that refresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Music is always changing, the way we consume media is always changing,” says Thizzler’s Tyrese Johnson. “If SoundCloud were to die today, it would suck, but it wouldn’t be the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Elder recalls, for instance, how Rayana Jay, the singer she manages, received an outpouring of business opportunities after her song “Magic” accumulated 250,000 plays on SoundCloud in its first two weeks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13741654\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"East Bay artist Rexx Life Raj has benefitted from SoundCloud's viral opportunities.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13741654\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-520x293.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">East Bay artist Rexx Life Raj has benefitted from SoundCloud’s viral opportunities. \u003ccite>(Marco Alexander)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Berkeley rapper Rexx Life Raj had a similar experience when the website Hot New Hip-Hop reposted his song “Shit n’ Floss” on its SoundCloud page, catapulting it to over 734,000 streams. “It boosted the record in a crazy way,” he says. “It put it into a million people’s phones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past several years, SoundCloud has struggled to monetize its business model, introducing ads and offering two tiers of ad-free subscriptions, SoundCloud Go and SoundCloud Go+. But according to the TechCrunch report that broke the news about the company’s recent layoffs, SoundCloud’s number of listeners is said to have fallen from 175 million to somewhere near 70 million over the past three years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Soundcloud made a mistake when it lost track of its strengths,” says Tyrese Johnson, the operations manager of popular Bay Area rap blog Thizzler.com. “I think what they should’ve been doing is finding ways to cultivate the independent artists they already have there and finding ways to get them paid as opposed to trying to go to war with Spotify and Apple Music. It’s not their lane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the news broke about SoundCloud’s lack of funding, artists have been warning each other to back up their catalogues and upload them to other platforms such as YouTube. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/google-mulling-soundcloud-buyout-say-whispers-sony-universals-stakes-revealed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some industry insiders speculate\u003c/a> that it’s unlikely that SoundCloud will disappear off the web completely, anticipating a corporate buyout. In either case, the platform’s poor financial standing and declining listenership raises important questions about what will happen when the defining music platform of this decade loses its relevance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Artists] need to take advantage of the changing market,” says Oakland rapper Beejus. “If you’re not putting yourself in a position where you’re able to own your rights where you can upload your music to streaming sites [like Spotify,] which I think will be the next step of this, then you need to reevaluate what you’re doing and kind of step it up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13741653\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-1020x1020.jpg\" alt=\"DJ Neto is among those who draw a parallel between SoundCloud and MySpace.\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13741653\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-800x800.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-768x768.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-960x960.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-240x240.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-375x375.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-520x520.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-150x150.jpg 150w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">DJ Neto is among those who draw a parallel between SoundCloud and MySpace. \u003ccite>(Chris Sanchez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, other artists question what will happen to the myriad DIY music subcultures on SoundCloud if the platform fails to retain its listeners. Oakland DJ Albert Luera, aka DJ Neto, compares the SoundCloud phenomenon to what happened to MySpace in the late 2000s, when the social network lost most of its users after becoming flooded with ads. As a result, many of the music subcultures that flourished on MySpace — such as the “bloghouse” electronic scene adjacent to Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records or the Bay Area’s hyphy movement — faded into obscurity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luera described his recent experience of poring over obscure MySpace profiles to find old hyphy songs he remembered from a decade ago. “If the loss of MySpace is any indication about how the loss of SoundCloud is gonna go, it was impossible to find those songs in any sort of quality. It was like googling lyrics and trying to find some message board that was gonna have it,” he says, adding that he fears that much of the music on SoundCloud will similarly be lost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sela Oner, a Vallejo producer who once compiled several volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/644-footworks-forgotten-archives-are-making-the-best-compilations-youve-never-heard/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forgotten 2000s Chicago footwork music by scouring the remains of MySpace\u003c/a>, says that the potential demise of SoundCloud might not be such a bad thing. In his view, some artists have gotten too stuck in the “SoundCloud rap” formula. “It’s affected music a lot, that’s why things sounds the same. So if SoundCloud dies, I think we kind of need that refresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Music is always changing, the way we consume media is always changing,” says Thizzler’s Tyrese Johnson. “If SoundCloud were to die today, it would suck, but it wouldn’t be the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Proceeds from the plates would fund family planning services through the Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment (FPACT) program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special license plate would feature the phrase “California Trusts Women” and artwork from one of three California artists, including Berkeley-based art teacher and illustrator Miriam Klein Stahl, best known for her work in the book series \u003ci>Rad Women.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The artists all care passionately about this cause and were excited to be part of another groundbreaking, visible part of the resistance,” said Rebecca Griffin, director of NARAL Pro-Choice California. “Of course a lot of people know Miriam Klein Stahl from her great illustrations for the \u003cem>Rad Women\u003c/em> books, which encapsulate the leadership, community and solidarity we want to evoke with the license plates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stahl, a longtime teacher at Berkeley High School and co-founder of its Arts & Humanities Academy, was one of the artists recommended to NARAL Pro-Choice California, which is working in coordination with the state to create and distribute these license plates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Artists, performers, writers and activists are voicing their desire for a world that we could and should have that is feminist, equitable and loving,” said Stahl. “The current political climate is none of those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her design, a paper-cut illustration of two protesting women set against a yellow backdrop, falls in line with the arresting style she put forth in her illustrations for \u003cem>Rad Women Worldwide\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Rad American Women A-Z.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the second state, following Virginia, to offer pro-choice license plates. But 29 states, including Virginia, offer pro-life equivalents — 15 of which use the revenue generated to fund anti-choice groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has a long history of leadership on reproductive rights,” said Sen. Jackson in a press release. “This license plate represents one way that we can demonstrate that we will stay true to our values and the right of every woman to safe, affordable and quality reproductive health care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill has already passed the Senate, and is currently in the State Assembly awaiting committee approval. Upon its enactment and the winning design’s approval from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, 7,500 pre-orders must be collected within 12 months until the special license plates are produced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until then, voting will remain open for the winning license plate art through August, Griffin said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Proceeds from the plates would fund family planning services through the Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment (FPACT) program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special license plate would feature the phrase “California Trusts Women” and artwork from one of three California artists, including Berkeley-based art teacher and illustrator Miriam Klein Stahl, best known for her work in the book series \u003ci>Rad Women.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The artists all care passionately about this cause and were excited to be part of another groundbreaking, visible part of the resistance,” said Rebecca Griffin, director of NARAL Pro-Choice California. “Of course a lot of people know Miriam Klein Stahl from her great illustrations for the \u003cem>Rad Women\u003c/em> books, which encapsulate the leadership, community and solidarity we want to evoke with the license plates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stahl, a longtime teacher at Berkeley High School and co-founder of its Arts & Humanities Academy, was one of the artists recommended to NARAL Pro-Choice California, which is working in coordination with the state to create and distribute these license plates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
