Supreme Court Rejects Theory That Would Have Transformed American Elections
Response to aggiesal (Original post) Tue Jun 27, 2023, 11:34 AM 1. That's good news! But I'm sure that someone will try to revisit it in the future. Roe wasn't overturned on their first attempt either. I suspect that it's only a matter of time before this comes before the court again. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink

RIP Wayne Shorter
It was at the Detroit Jazz Festival prior to the pandemic. We were a couple of rows from the stage. Had Esperanza Spaulding on bass and vocals. They did an improv that truly rose to the heights of heavenly bliss for me. So sorry to see this creative genius pass. On edit: his Juju, Night Dreamer, Speak No Evil, and (to a lesser extent) Adams Apple - his Blue Note years - are amongst my favorite albums. I’ve been listening to them for the last 4 or 5 decades, never cease to please and amaze.
