pianist Chris Abrahams,
drummer-percussionist Tony Buck,
bassist Lloyd Swanton.

Some reports on crypto hacks trumpeting “hacks are down compared to last year!” this seems to be driven by fact that assets being stolen are simply worth less than they used to be, because the total number of hacks are roughly the same as the year before

We live in an era of moral warfare.

This moral warfare — a struggle between different systems of morality — will decide whether the United States remains a democracy or becomes an autocracy in the coming years.
