I want to believe in “a better America” and to agree with those who say “this is not who we are as a country.” But, hope is not a strategy. It’s not enough to say it, it has to BE it, and until then, the world must treat with 🇺🇸 as it currently IS - depraved, disloyal, disruptive and dangerous.

Jazz OTD: Johnny Hartman recorded most of the tracks for his lovely album "I Just Dropped by to Say Hello" on October 17, 1963 with an insanely overqualified band given their supporting role: Illinois Jacquet (ts), Kenny Burrell (g), Hank Jones (p), Milt Hinton (b), Elvin Jones (d). #jazzsky

esperanza spalding • Ponta De Areia (serpentwithteeth version) Remix of esperanza’s version of the song by Milton Nascimento (music) & Fernando Brant (lyrics). It was written about the 🚂 that went from Bahia to Minas Gerais, which opened Milton’s world, but was then decommissioned. A mourning song.

Tune of the day…John Coltrane - Blue Train. You have 30 choruses of amazing blues that never gets old. The arrangement is sometimes overlooked, melody & harmonized melody with hits. Solos go from swing to doubletime feel in the drums only. Background line sparsely used. #jazzsky youtu.be/HT_Zs5FKDZE

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence
