I took my son once years ago and now that I'm back in Illinois, I should revisit. The climb will be at least 20 years slower, lol!

My dad, Presbyterian minister, was part of it too. A small number of "woke" (🤣) clergy in that small college town showed up.

13 yo in Fairfield, Iowa; my first march. And of course there was a deranged teacher going on about shooting all the protesters, but it was entirely peaceful. And, yes, I'll be out Saturday. #NoKings

On this date 56 years ago, millions of Americans peacefully protested the U.S. government

I've had Go!, with the same lineup, for quite a while, but this is just a total treat!

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

I can remember my dad, Presbyterian minister in Iowa, being on the lookout/aware of them back then. How widespread were they?

And, of course, as I learn/remember, The New Wave in Jazz is a LIVE recording with bonus Tolliver and Grachan Moncur tracks on the CD...🤩🤩🤩

Joel Dilley @okiedharmabum.bsky.social · 1d

Billy Higgins is definitely MVP, appearing on half of them! The Dexter Gordon, Taylor's Cell Walk for Celeste and The New Wave in Jazz w/ Charles Tolliver's group. Sheesh!

And it's not like they're some trucker's copies that are all scratched up from bouncing around a semi - they're all clean as a whistle!

Dollar CDs! The normally on top of it record store let a half dozen beauties slither into the clearance boxes!?! John Zorn, Cecil Taylor, Jimmy Lyons (With Karen Borca? YES!), Dexter Gordon and an Impulse Sampler. Not bad for a random Tuesday afternoon in October. #JazzSky #NowPlaying

Against The Grain: What’s wrong with hauntology?

In The Wire 501, @robinjames.bsky.social argues that the influential cultural theory of hauntology does not account for developments in Black creative practices and music of the late 20th and early 21st centuries

Who is the guy in the red sweater? He's leaning against car, bends down and it looks like he tosses the canister. He's immediately grabbed, but then dragged to the stop sign and let go.

Time to tune in to some analysis from Antifa expert…Chef Andrew…Gruel?…founder of…American Gravy Concepts?

Always important to identify the label one's song would be ideal on. Good opportunity for a female "answer" song on Starday!

Check out the guy in a long-sleeved red sweatshirt/sweater at the beginning and then notice how the cops release him and let him walk away a minute after they grab him.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Joel Dilley @okiedharmabum.bsky.social · 2d

Um, I notice a guy in long-sleeved RED sweater/sweatshirt, bending down and grabbing canister, then throwing it, grabbed by goons, BUT THEN THEY LET HIM GO! You can see him walking away. I hate to be the crazy guy, but this seems- not likely?

I think Chess is doing CD-R through Amazon now?!? I've got at least one Sonny Boy Williamson on CD-R and I think I remember seeing that is how they would fulfill one or two titles I was looking at.

if anybody is good at lip reading or can isolate the audio, I'd be very curious to learn more about what these two were talking about here. it certainly didn't sound on the level.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
