Remembering the great Elvin Jones who was born this week in 1927. Regarded as one of the most impactful drummers in jazz history, Jones’ revolutionary style transformed the drums as a traditional time-keeping instrument.
He established a forceful polyrhythmic approach to the traps set, combining different metres played independently by the hands and feet into a propulsive flow of irregularly shifting accents. For over four decades, his innovative rhythmic technique has served as a catalyst for drummers who seek greater improvisational freedom.
Here, he is performing a solo on “Village Green” alongside Joe Farrell on saxophone and Jimmy Garrison on bass live in Denmark, 1968.

Webb, you outdid yourself. 🏆
@NASAWebb has found what appears to be the most distant known galaxy—beating its own previous record. This galaxy first formed less than 300 million years after the big bang. go.nasa.gov/3VkSVNg

Astronomers have predicted that a nearby white dwarf star orbiting in the T Coronae Borealis system some 3,000 light years from Earth will erupt in a dramatic nova explosion later this year, which will be visible to the naked eye (via SETI Institute). @IGN

The permafrost is thawing, luring bacteria that will feast on these carbon-rich layers and produce two greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane. How serious is this potential accelerator of climate change? It’s “De-Permafrosting” on @BiPiSci: buff.ly/4aJG1xQ

I spoke with Israeli intelligence officers about the AI-based target machine they used which marked 37,000 Gazans as suspects for assassination. These whistleblowers expose numerous machines & policies that killed thousands of civilians since October.

The Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether a US citizen is above the law – a proposition that, if affirmed, would destroy the moral, legal, and political foundations of the Court itself.
