EDWARDSVILLE - Senior infielder Kayden Jennings had made a positive contribution to the success of the Edwardsville High School baseball team as the Tigers continue to defend their 2022 IHSA Class 4A state championship, and in a two-game series against Alton on Apr. 25-26, he combined for four hits and three RBIs as Edwardsville swept the series 16-6 and 13-1. For the season, Jennings is hitting .323, with no home runs, 14 RBIs, an on-base percentage of .462 and 16 stolen bases as the Tigers are currently 17-6 on the season. In the game on Apr. 25, the Tigers were able to grind out the win, taking advantage of 14 walks and a pair of costly errors to score their runs, and after the game, Jennings felt his team could have done some things better, but was also happy with the win. Jennings felt he took solid at-bats than in games recently in Paducah, Ky. The Tigers continue to move right along and have been playing well, and it's especially a good time to be playing well, with the IHSA
I’ve been criticizing the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) approach to internet regulations, because they’re doing this “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” bit in which they insist that the DSA is not regulating speech, but then they admit that the point of the DSA is to see less “bad” speech on the internet. But, whether we […]

In 1948, five years after its premiere, the Eighth Symphony still managed to make trouble for Shostakovich. Andrei Zhdanov, the Soviet Minister of Culture and Shostakovich's most powerful nemesis, yanked it from obscurity just so he could denounce it at length. Another member of the panel, Vladimir Zakharov, a Soviet functionary and a minor composer, described it as "not a musical work at all" and "repulsive and ultra-individualistic," similar in sound to "a piercing dentist’s drill, a musical gas chamber, the sort the Gestapo used." Shostakovich was also condemned for the "pessimism, unhealthy individualism, extreme subjectivism, and willful complexity" of his symphony. Zhdanov ordered that all copies of the score be recycled and all recordings destroyed. I, on the other hand, have much nicer things to say about it.

A few years ago AT&T, a company that tried to cheap out on upgrading its broadband lines to fiber, effectively stopped selling DSL. While that’s understandable given the dated copper-based tech, the problem is that thanks to concentrated telecom monopolization, many of these customers were left without any replacement options due to a lack of […]
