From one of Coltrane’s most underrated albums, one of his two greatest ballad compositions, along with Naima.

The rail map of the US looks like France in 1856.
Such an enormous misallocation of resources in US.

Soldier in the Rain is another good one.

DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media As streaming continues to dominate the film and TV industry, many Gen Z movie watchers are opting out and choosing physical formats instead.

Japanese artists like Yayoi Kusama and Takashi Murakami cite him as an influence. 🌸

Massachusetts invests over $16 BILLION annually in public education, a critical investment in our Commonwealth’s future.

'A Big F*ck You to Big Tech': New Jersey Residents Defeat AI Data Center | Common Dreams "It's time to build communities, not data centers," said one local activist.

New Brunswick, NJ just canceled plans for a colossal AI data center after massive pushback from the community.

Robert Duvall and Gene Hackman were good friends who were roommates in New York as aspiring actors.

I’d have watched McCabe & Mrs. Miller which is, with Chinatown, my favorite film of the 70s. Instead, in remembrance of Robert Duvall we watched Assassination Tango, a very personal film for him which he also directed.
Subtitles missing for much Spanish spoken, crucial to the story. Thanks Amazon.

6 to 3, the chief justice writing the majority opinion. Huzzah.

Fine Walter Huston performance as well. Excellent film.

New Orleans oyster poor boy and Carolina pulled pork are also missing.

Breakfast yes, but a work of art as well.

A vintage tile floor circa 1893 with a stylized “M” for the Monadnock Building in Chicago.

Howard Hawks, Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood as well.
