2026. Three headline acts (Herbie Hancock, Trombone Shorty, Dianne Reeves) of 37. AS in every other year none of the jazz acts even get to be in the first two rows of headliners.

2024. _One_ jazz act (Trombone Shorty) among 20. The Rolling Stones headline the "jazz fest" overall. Again, cool, I can see Donald Harrison and Nicholas Payton way down in the noise there.

2023. Some great acts (Artemis!) Down in the noise. Among the headliners, 2 jazz acts (Hancock, Trombone Shorty - both that year touring with funk acts) among 23.

SO, here's a screenshot of the Washington Post online right now and under the "politcs" section -- WTF? three of the featured stories are ssentially the same article, and then two of the remaining stories are also the same? Even stupid basic stuff is going to hell.

I enjoyed this book so so much and yet only now do I realize it was porn.

This is what happens when @bencollins.bsky.social does not use his powers for good.

Only once in the entire history of electric guitars with 6 and 12 string necks, has the instrument been used meaningfully:

Specifically a gray fox, and it ain't so hard to do if you get 'em accustomed to you while they are impressionable.

It is to the dog's credit I suppose that, judging by her wagging tail, she does not well judge the risk between "this thing might be friendly and playful" and "if it is not, and feels threatened, it could probably remove a leg."

I mean I prefer not see-through but my messaging needs cut the other direction (note the freshly-made idli podi though).

Clearly the stationary, somewhat staid sofa is much less tempting than its mobile, younger cousins.

So for a couple years now we've had this. She comes if my wife is working downstairs and raps on the flagstones; my wife goes over and she flies a few feet away until my wife drops a peanut and closes up the door. It's quite odd.

But you can see the highly weird bokeh, which I know a lot of people hate but I kind of dig, sometimes. Plus the huge upside is, here's the lens. One of the cheapest and most lightweight I own.

Here's an old image, plus a couple I grabbed today returning home. The lens is soft but here the poor skills of the photographer have more effect, and this carpenter will blame tools too: I have no IBIS and used no tripod since these were rush jobs.
