John B @johncburnett.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Video of his execution will make him a martyr and will be used as anti-American propaganda. Even if it wasn’t cruel and inhumane, it would still be catastrophically stupid. 0150
John B @johncburnett.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I intentionally put Clube da Esquina in the center, as it’s probably the least recognizable. A 1972 double LP by Brazilian legends Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges. It’s beautiful and divine. Three years later Nascimento would collaborate with Wayne Shorter on Native Dancer, which is also amazing. 010
John B @johncburnett.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This list is pretty straightforward—the left and right columns are all iconic jazz albums. The middle column is my favorite Stevie Wonder album and my favorite British album (Joy Division—Unknown Pleasures) at the bottom (edging out London Calling by The Clash). All easy and obvious choices. 100
John B @johncburnett.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The tone-deaf remark from Susan Collins at the 6:33 mark is truly astounding (“First of all…”). If you can’t watch the whole ~10 minutes, just watch that point to the end. It’s devastating for Collins. Kudos to Troy Jackson. 040

John B @johncburnett.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I don’t like that Vought discredits ‘DEI’ and uses it interchangeably with CRT. Dems should not say ‘DEI’ but should instead say “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” They should say, “How is this research is in conflict with the administration’s policies on DIVERSITY?…on EQUITY?…on INCLUSION?” 130
John B @johncburnett.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The MOST infuriating thing about this is that Trump uses the phrase “OUR best player.” Trump and 4 SCOTUS Justices believe that Balogun in not a legal U.S. citizen.
