The Recording Academy has ~14K voting members for the Grammys & but, despite requests, has never shared a breakdown by gender, race or age.

Since Grammy winners are chosen nearly exclusively by ancient white men; wouldn't both viewers & nominees prefer if Kanye chose who won?

mp;amp; @Recor

If there's no issue with race (or gender & age) why won't Portnow &amp; @RecordingAcad share their members demogramp.theguardian.com/music/2017/feb…crV2O5Gz

@RecordingAcad

@RecordingAcad Until the Grammys share the demographics of their (undoubtedly old white male) membership, why would anything change?theatlantic.com/entertainment/…

@RecordingAcad

@RecordingAcad Seems more like Neil Portnow needs to step down.

And artists who believe that women & POC are Grammy-worthy need to stop legitimating the #GrammyAwards with their participativariety.com/2018/music/new…B1ic

Industry awards, honors & lists co-opt “winners” into legitimating their awfulness (& exclusion of women & POC) with their participation— in their own continued oppression & exclusion. Meanwhile, institutions inculcate BY inclusion—being critical is “ungrateful.”

Fuck awards!

💯Are there any awards/lists/honors that don’t trade our vanity for our loyalty to institutions that oppress us?

Maybe elitism is just inherently bad & warrants our egalitarian scorn—& requires our utter inattention! How do we stop our #clickcomp

Women Music Execs Tell Portnow & @RecordingAcad to StepUp or Gvariety.com/2018/biz/news/…Sduj 👏👊❤️ to Julie Greenwald, Desiree Perez, Jody Gerson, @IamSylviaRhone, Julie Swidler & Michele Anthony for speaking up & demanding transparency, accountability—& membership demographics.

@RecordingAcad

@RecordingAcad @IamSylviaRhone Very grateful to all the women who spoke up & called BS—& demanded better for all of us. Now that Portnow is leaving, I hope @RecordingAcad will finally share their membership demographic data—& immediately start working to include more women

@katiezavadski “F---ing Sith Lord,” “Horrific Leakers,” & “Berserkazoid Craziness”: The Mooch Recalls His Brief Shining Fortnight at the Center of US Politics, by @WilliamCohan vanityfair.com/news/2018/02/t… Wish he’d been asked about🇷🇺sanctions, RDIF & if he now supports what he opposed at #WEF17?

This is something, coming from a guy who missed the birth of his child—& had his lawyer demand a paternity test?

Does suing CNN & forcing a journo to resign for accurate reporting have permanent benefits?

World chess body has Swiss bank accounts frozen after (Putin-linked) president is accused of links to ISIS oil deals telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/1… After @Kasparov63 failed to have him removed, maybe Team Spectre decided enough was enough—& this was the only way to take back the org?

@katiezavadski

As per ⬆️, an excellent post by @katiezavadski, examining RDIF & Dmietiev! And a great thread follows. Hope to see Scaramucci, Thiel & Goldman Sachs looped in, just in time for Davos!

@katiezavadski

@katiezavadski So T-rump, Scaramucci & Mnuchin are going to #WEF2018. What about Schwarzman, Bonderman, Black & or WEF Young Global Leaders Dmietriev & Thiel? Or Milner? Is there an RDIF reunion scheduled?

Also, out of curiousity, any chess tourneys or events scheduled?

@katiezavadski

@katiezavadski Wonder if Scaramucci can get another reporter canned for accurately reporting on what he said in public at #WEF, like he did last year? Or were his legal threats to CNN enough to prevent anyone from taking the risk? Are the Mooch & Thiel now press-proof?
