There was a particular moment i remember in the 00s when a number of jazz groups were covering rock & pop songs. Putting aside the Jazz Police arguments against them, i dug that my musical tastes were sometimes converging.

Every day globally, over 100 new songs are produced. To put that into perspective, if each of those songs were a dentist, in one month you would accumulate almost as many dentists as there are in all of Switzerland.

Marlen Reusser (Movistar) wins Dwars door Vlaanderen ahead of Demi Vollering. Pair caught and overtaken by Lieke Nooijen who'd jumped out of the bunch in the final kilometre but they sprinted past again

love it when a map tells a story (the story is slavery)

I don't care about the Artemis II launch.

Filippo Ganna (Ineos) wins Dwars Door Vlaanderen, catches and passes Van Aert who had been away for the last 40km

This guy is very confused. First, he thinks a 54% vote in favor of merger wasn't a mandate, LOL. Second, he's proposing some actual good things that would require more and better government services (including TARC and multimodal streets) but is a Libertarian. Buddy, I have some bad news for you!

There's a new exhibit in Milan of Chicago jazz/blues photos by prolific Don Bronstein that largely went unseen for 40 years after his death in 1968. Interesting article asks, what happens to your work when you die? www.digitalcameraworld.com/photography/... I hope this exhibit comes to Chicago

Hey Bob, if you’re gonna play around with AI, how about you let Aaron Burr rest and generate a “Chronicles Volume Two”?!

I say we walk right in the front door Perhaps to settle in, as if we lived there You threw a bar of soap at a cockroach Found an alarm clock wrapped in a towel Ah, peanut butter, oh my! Crematorium is busy tonight youtu.be/9DwPOpl8DDY

77 years to the day after the birth of Gil Scott-Heron, and this 1973 song should not be so topical. GSH died in 2011. youtu.be/1wixtjUL42E?...

Awesome time last night! Many thanks to Nathan Viner for putting this on. All y'all out there be sure to see Wendy Eisenberg on their current tour!

Like seriously if the whole night passes and I don't hear David say "ah, peanut butter... oh my!" it will be an opportunity wasted.

No longer a horse racing fan (duh it's the cruelty, and also living in proximity to Churchill Downs really sucks for a myriad of reasons), but @matoswk.bsky.social will be happy to know that the Kentucky Horse Park is dedicating a statue to his winning '03 Derby horse Funny Cide in late April.
