Every year the news slouches closer to an all clickbait model, where every article is called β€œthis will make you mad”

I can vividly remember when I put my card in at a grocery store a couple of years ago without doing a bunch of math in my head first, bc I had a decent paying job for the first time in a while. It’s an entirely different way of moving through the world

Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.

Poor liked Steve: β€œGuttenberg was not [Hanson’s] first choice for the lead of Terry but rather a suggestion of Dino De Laurentiis. β€˜Dino thought that if the movie wasn't successful, at least he'd have a young person in the lead who is liked and is known for comedy,’ said Hanson.”

All The Things You Are
All The Things You Are YouTube video by Orrin Evans - Topic

A bittersweet Jazz OTD today, from pianist/arranger/composer Orrin Evans's album "The Red Door." It's a wonderful version of a Kern/Hammerstein classic, recorded with the great trumpeter Wallace Roney, who died far too young from COVID-19 less than 3 weeks after this March 11, 2020 session. #jazzsky

✨Kenny Barron- The Third Eye🎷
✨Kenny Barron- The Third Eye🎷 YouTube video by Jazz Odyssey

Jazz OTD: Perhaps because Kenny Barron is simply so great with ballads and nuanced mainstream jazz, it's easy to overlook his 1980s trio albums, several of which have fascinating outward leanings. Like "Scratch" - a great one with Dave Holland (b) and Daniel Humair (d), rec. March 11, 1985. #Jazzsky

Jazz OTD: On March 11, 1980, the same date on which Pepper Adams recorded "The Master," another brilliant veteran craftsman, trumpeter Clark Terry, was in Hollywood, recording a wonderful tribute to Duke Ellington, with Jack Wilson (p), Joe Pass (g), Ray Brown (b), and Frank Severino (d). #jazzsky

Pepper Adams -- Bossallegro YouTube video by Steve Minkin

Jazz OTD: Pepper Adams, one of jazz's greatest baritone saxophonists, recorded his album "The Master" at New York's Downtown Sound Studio on March 11, 1980, with Tommy Flanagan (p), George Mraz (b), and Leroy Williams (d). Beautiful, fluid hard bop throughout. #jazzsky

Ben Webster - Our Love Is Here to Stay
Ben Webster - Our Love Is Here to Stay YouTube video by YouTube Instrumentals CLASSIC JAZZ PART 2

Jazz OTD: Ben Webster recorded five tracks for his final US studio album before moving to Europe on March 11, 1964 in a quartet with Hank Jones (p), Richard Davis (b), and Osie Johnson (d). Hard to think of a saxophonist with a more gorgeously recognizable tone or more impeccable phrasing. #jazzsky

Back Breaker - Gigi Gryce YouTube video by souljazzsax1969

Jazz OTD: Gigi Gryce was one of the most interesting figures in 1950s-1960s jazz: a crafty, thoughtful composer, and an exceptionally nimble saxophonist. He recorded "Saying Somethin'" on March 11, 1960 w/ Richard Williams (tp), Richard Wyands (p), Reggie Workman (b), and Mickey Roker (d). #jazzsky

Jazz OTD: Wayne Shorter led a great, outward-leaning quintet on March 10, 1967 for "Schizophrenia." With James Spaulding (here on flute), Curtis Fuller (tb), Herbie Hancock (b), Ron Carter (b), and Joe Chambers (d). #jazzsky

Jazz OTD: I can't find individual track dates, but the wonderful alto saxophonist Frank Morgan recorded "You Must Believe in Spring," a collection of duets with legendary pianists, from March 10-11, 1992. With Hank Jones, Barry Harris, Tommy Flanagan, Roland Hanna, and, here, Kenny Barron. #jazzsky

Jazz OTD: John Hicks, the brilliant and versatile pianist long in demand but out of the limelight, recorded the lovely "On the Wings of an Eagle" on March 10, 2006, two months before his death. With Buster Williams (b) and Louis Hayes (d). The closer is a swinging tribute to Cedar Walton. #jazzsky

We buried my mother in law last Friday, the child of Holocaust survivors. She and her mom went to schools in the region for years telling their story, worried that the world would forget. They’re both gone now and I’m worried about it too
