"Hipness is not a state of mind, It's a fact of life!" Remembering Cannonball Adderley on the 50th anniversary of his passing. His soulful, bluesy gospel saxophone tone is one of the most joyous sounds in music. Hard to pick a favourite, but I've always loved 'Country Preacher' #jazzsky

To accuse the ABC of anti-Israel bias you would have to be untethered from material reality, drowning in your own victim complex, and compulsively gaslighting. The ABC's pro-genocide bias has been overt and disgusting.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
