So this week's #BlueskyArtShow theme is: #OpenHouse And while that means anything is welcome and there is no actual theme, I'm taking it a little bit more literally😄: "Keep Door Open" (part of a study of some abandoned urban buildings) #photosky #photography #sepia #EastCoastKin flic.kr/p/b9Uyq6

So, #jazzsky informs me that today was Lenny White's birthday. Here's a track from the first album I heard #LennyWhite on. And Lenny's drumming on this still knocks my socks off. 😄🧦🥁 Chick Corea & Return to Forever: Celebration Suite, pt. 1 (No Mystery, 1975) w/ Stanley Clarke & Al DiMeola #jazz

Opinion | Trump’s crude remarks about Rob Reiner are unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

I was just thinking about Rob Reiner's role in Season 4 of the Bear a couple days ago. And now . . . I can't even with this weekend . . . and this year. jfc 😱😭

“Some of the protesters brought items to keep the two men warm. ‘I brought like heat pads and food and an extra jacket to get to the guys that are stuck up there,’ one protester said. ‘This weather is super dangerous.’ But the agents told them they couldn’t get the items to the upper floor.“

Horrified for families gunned down while attending a Hanukkah candle-lighting celebration in Sydney, Australia. The world rejects this vile act of antisemitic hate and terror. May the memory of those killed be a blessing to their families.

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history. Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

Courts are using originalist arguments to expand executive power, weaken long-standing rights and protections, and entrench inequality. It’s crucial that lawyers push back.

I'm going to get back into blogging rather than writing (TLDR) articles to be sucked up by AI/LLM's. I'm inspired to write a set of infrequent posts called "One & Done" inspired by @imatthewi.bsky.social posting about Roland Kirk - itwas one of the last released by Verve produced by Creed Taylor

I'm SO psyched about our new Either/Orchestra album, "Ethiopiques 32: Nalbandian the Ethiopian"! We recorded much of it in Ethiopia in 2010, with our 2004 trip being Ethiopiques 20. Incredible experiences. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky #livemusic #ethiopia www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVU0...

It's great that the media, Congress is going all Watergate on one of Trump's many crimes, the 'double-tap' murder of 2 Caribbean sailors But the reality is that Trump's death cult has killed hundreds of thousands, mostly through senseless USAID cuts My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

They arrived ready to celebrate. Suits pressed, children in tow, hearts full of hope. They had jumped through every hoop, passed every test, paid every fee, followed every rule. They were Americans in every way that counted except for one: the zip code on their birth certificate.

NEW: SCOTUS appears ready to give Trump greater firing powers, over sharp liberal warnings. The Republican appointees are almost certain to overturn a 90-year precedent, as Trump wants. Pushing back, Sotomayor told DOJ: “You’re asking us to destroy the structure of government.” Law Dork:

At a time when Wynton Marsalis pushed “traditional” jazz and denigrated jazz incorporating elements of world music, rock, or funk, Gershon was more in tune with postmodernists, influenced by Sun Ra, Art Ensemble of Chicago, and others--eclectic bands with heavy nods to Africa. Then Ethiopian jazz...
