For designing it. In a design show. She even jokes about having -designed- it by saying that designing it will be what memorializes her.
Know who else gave her credit for designing it? Boston. On the back of that album cover. For design.
But hey! As long you’re so vconcerned about ppl giving proper credit, let’s see what Huyssen says about it on his own business page on FB, circa August, 2019—
Boston. Designed and created this in 1976 for Columbia (Epic)Records. Very little time to paint. Only direction was it had to have a guitar in it. Not my best but by far my most famous.
What a guy. Drop him a line! Roger@Huyssen dot com

The Boston cover is dumb.
I am still mystified by how something
like that really resonates in culture.
I mean, it predated Star Wars.
So we must have hit a zeitgeist
that was about to happen.
But when I die, it will say,
“Designed the Boston cover,”
and I’ve lived
with this horror ever since,
and I think it may wind up being true.

Between Time and Timbuktu (1972)
As mentioned in the synopsis above, these scenarios are
all derived from the novels and short stories of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.,
including Harrison Bergeron, and Happy Birthday, Wanda June.

It’s not a quibble or a nitpick, it changes the meaning of the sentence significantly.
“preferred source of news is Fox News or if you’re subject to the Dunning–Kruger effect”
There’s literally a context to that, which the comment itself is involved with. You yourself gave that context 5 stars.
“preferred source of news is Fox News [concerning BLM] or if you’re subject to the Dunning–Kruger effect [concerning BLM]”
Doing the equivalent of All Livers Matter [when BLM is mentioned] to DKE [when DKE is mentioned] certainly is a twist. All Biases In All Contexts Matter Equally, I guess. #ABIACME
And much like All Lives Matter, it’s circular reasoning regarding category. One sees it done with feminism as well. Yes, humanism is -already- accepted as true by [most] feminists and BLM. Starting from the big umbrella category [All Lives], there are subcategories of study [females; non-whites; white supremacy; condoned extrajudicial vigilantism; etc]. It’s a time-consuming meaningless diversion if it’s already accepted [implicitly] as true, and one wants to deflect from those instances where it is not in effect [or as with the DKE, in flagrant effect].
Tho the Wiki list of biases certainly is fun to skim thru.

“Do you believe the President of the United States has sociopathic tendencies and if so, is it high functioning?”
“Donald has so many pathologies and they are so complex and so much co-morbidity… clearly he doesn’t seem to be interested in empathy so I think it’s safe to say, sure he demonstrates sociopathic tendencies and it’s equally safe to say that he is not high functioning at all and that is something that should give every person in the country pause. I mean, we are talking about a man who I do not believe could function in the real world on his own… A crucial reason that he’s gotten as far as he has is because he’s continually protected by what I consider institutions… he’s never been held accountable.”
Animator (2018)
3/5(Hopefully wont be muted for writing too long a review this time) Surprisingly enjoyable film considering its seemingly low budget, characters have some obvious short comings but are carried well by the cast. Plot ignoring its obvious political / theological undertones is enjoyable in most parts though choices made by characters leave me feeling little disappointed in the writing. But it was nice to see that the otherwise simple story tried to have some deeper value even if it fell short by my own views.

Tucker Carlson Tonight (2016) S2020 E143
Ok, first never seen this show before, I’m not american so this type of ‘news-entertainment’ is weird thing.
Is this news or is this not news, I realise news is largely no longer objective but still, guy needs to talk less.
Bland tanned man with quaffed hair and the brow of a chimp stares in seeming faux perplexed constipation.
Segments really seem to drag on with the casual banter, talking to me ( the viewer ) like were friends is just kinda tacky, weird rich dude stop chatting to me in that condescending way.
Is his hair real? He needs a moustache.
The never ending waving neon coloured flag and banner at the bottom of the screen are irritating. I do not need to know what channel this is on, nor which nation it comes from and I can hear what you are saying you do not need to write it down also. Waste so much of the screen.
2/5 meh not really funny and the information seemed its faster to digest a paper format in the time it took to watch that.

“The Coen brothers have expressed interest in making a sequel to Barton Fink called Old Fink, which would take place in the 1960s. “It’s the summer of love and [Fink is] teaching at Berkeley. He ratted on a lot of his friends to the House Un-American Activities Committee”, said Joel Coen. The brothers have stated that they have had talks with John Turturro about reprising his role as Fink, but they were waiting “until he was actually old enough to play the part”.”
“Speaking to The A.V. Club in June 2011, Turturro suggested the sequel would be set in the 1970s, and Fink would be a hippie with a large Jewfro. He said “you’ll have to wait another 10 years for that, at least””
Well, that poisons that well.

I sure hope John Lithgow got paid time and a half for this, ‘cause that man was acting overtime. A hunched stance, the most absurd accent, buggy eyes, crazy hair, and teeth that are (somehow) villainous. Even the teeth! Heck, watch it on mute just for his facial expressions and it’s still worth your time.

Lenny Bruce was beyond edgy. You won’t hear comedians joking like that anymore. I don’t know how many times he was jailed for indecency.
TheFire dot org has his court transcripts up, and skimming those confirms why he started reading from them aloud during his sets—
Testimony from bigger jokes than he could otherwise tell.
[Devs fixed their avatar limits; wasn’t my concern otherwise. the ‘bait’ isn’t anything much at all, ironically contradictory and mocking music when compared to what i rail against on the rest of the page, music which in its essence is of a higher spirit of ideal than those against such a thing as BLM, so also not ironic at all]

“All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up.”
—James Baldwin, “The Precarious Vogue of Ingmar Bergman”
“The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their “vital interests” are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the “sanctity” of human life, or the “conscience” of the civilized world.”

Brad Pitt comes home from WWII and he’s killed in a crash with his mother in the 1940s. He ends up in an animated world. This is never explained. Gabriel Byrne is an animator in the 1990s, in prison (for killing his wife?) and he’s continuing to animate in prison. This is never explained. Minutes later Pitt is now a policeman in the animated world, and he’s gone from not know what’s going on to knowing everything and all the rules. This is never explained. Kim Basinger is an animation drawn by Byrne who wants to be ‘real.’ She can pull Byrne into the animated world. This is never explained. By seducing Byrne and having sex with him, Basinger is now a live action character. But she’s unstable and turning back into a cartoon, but NOT the character she was previously. This is never explained. Now she wants to climb a Las Vegas hotel to touch some spiky neon light that is going to ‘fix’ her. This is never explained. Now Gabriel Byrne has super powers in the real world? This is never explained!

She didn’t design it. She only designed the typography.
Yeah, OK. Guess who was Art Director at CBS Records in 1976? She wasn’t ‘only doing’ typography. She was in control of the show and she didn’t get to the point of control of designs there by -not- designing things. Dude.
Guess who worked for CBS Records in 1976 as a sketch monkey? Take your time. It’s a tough one.
But nice to see you move from ‘Roger illustrated it, not her’ which is such a strange red herring [no, really? just like it says in the cover credits? where she -only- designed the infernal thing [boston agrees! ON THE COVER! [scholz the one who -wanted- ‘guitar spaceships’]]], to ‘Roger did everything [design, illustration, idea], but design the typography’.
Creepy. And now I know way too much about a yacht rock album.
Gross on so many levels.
