A dad who's into music, bikes, math, and computers. Living in Madison, WI.
I spend too much time doomscrolling here. I'm going to try disappearing for a week. Hopefully I won't return (but I know myself). Later.

Feel privileged to have had the opportunity to see this group in Madison last night. Absolutely amazing. He's is also a scholar - performance included some longer lectures about the themes in his music and that made it all the more interesting. (turn on subtitles)

This graph shows two things, 1) obviously that the cameras reduced speeding, but 2) that the improvement kept getting better over time. Speeders tend to get one or two tickets and then learn and change their behaviour. This isn't a cash grab, it's an extremely useful intervention.

This is such a good interview. Framed as about Miles Davis, but it's actually more directly a very interesting interview with Ron Carter and his perspective on the evolution of bass in jazz. Definitely worth a watch if you're a jazz fan

This is so sad. I value basically every aspect of my college experience - major courses, courses for general education, social life, space to develop as an individual. I wouldn't be who I am today without my education.

The Catholics really do their research. They must have heard a new sheep was attending and the sermon was built around jazz and the priest's experience seeing Herbie Hancock. I did enjoy the singing part, but still not sold π

It's quite difficult to explain to a 5yo what "going to church" is (we're a 0% religious family). The mass we're going to tomorrow will be interesting.

This guy recorded thousands of live shows in Chicago over the years and has put them online for free. Found quite a few that I was at. Quality is mixed but listenable in most cases that I checked.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I had this same thought but was trying to chalk it up as an ungrounded conspiracy theory. Scary to see that someone like Snyder has the same idea.
