In 1956, Sonny Rollins put out Tenor Madness. The name of the album & the title track are from a song with both Rollins and John Coltrane playing. To my tastes, though, it's the rest of the album that really shines. My favorite Rollins album. Rest In Power, SR. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNEw...

Ya'll. I am shook. In a good way. Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing Slavery

So, ok, yes. If the Knicks win their next 5 games, they'll go down as one of the great NBA teams, or at least great NBA playoff teams. But right now this has 2007 Rockies written all over it.

Some thoughtful person provided a link to a non-paywalled version of this article: gcaptain.com/drowning/

To be fair, Busines Insider did have an article about how to lie on the floor. So maybe it's just a space crunch.

So it's not officially named after Agatha Christie, it's just a place she enjoyed - hence the lower-case 'b' - but I'm still not gonna go there. Don't invite Angela Lansbury to come visit, and don't go to Agatha Christie's beaches. Or houses. And certainly not manors. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is the verified fund to help the family is murdered today at the Islamic Center of San Diego. You can verify it at their website. Just contributed. There will need to be a lot of healing for the survivors too. goodbricks.org/campaign/ics...

This is breaking my heart. One of the murderer's mothers reported him missing to police at 9:30 am - he was suicidal & had taken a gun. So the police were looking for him at his high school &&, but he and his friend were headed to the mosque to kill people & then die. www.10news.com/news/local-n...

Am I wrong or is the Congresswoman throwing serious shade at the Uvalde PD here? (Well deserved shade, if shade it be...)

Mostly I just like the idea that there was a companion piece listing their 6 favorite toxic coffee makers.

These are the times when I like to think about how thoroughly Richard Rorty trashed DD's first book.

I got a rapid heartbeat from those Krusty Brand vitamins, my Krusty calculator didn't have a 7 or an 8, and Krusty's autobiography was self-serving with many glaring omissions, but this time he's gone too far! time.com/article/2026...

FWIW, before Kamala took over, I was fully ready to vote for Biden's dead body, had it come down to a choice between that & what we have now.

Alternate version - you pick the peak 24 months of any one president's time in office.

This is how you keep the American Revolution. Direct line from funerals for the Stamp Act to here.

Dateline etc. are in a weird spot b/c having too many episodes where the boyfriend/husband/ex killed his partner makes for boring, repetitive episodes but if they stop airing those then all of a sudden it's like the show's part of the Men's Rights movement.

A bunch of decades since I read Distinction, but as I remember it, the people who conferred the quality of being art onto certain objects/practices/etc. did so as a way of manifesting their class status. So if we're talking about the Met Gala, I kinda don't think that part should be left out.

Still don't understand how we wound up here but then I don't understand a lot of things.

& I don't even know what Philly can do. So many tickets are permanently on scalper sites, NYC's got more people & more $$$. I usually see this as a reflection on a city's/team's fans, but feels like now it's more a reflection of the fluidity of capital, at least when geography's not an issue.
