May 2026 is shaping up to be a packed month for TV and streaming releases. The lineup includes major returning franchises, animated hits, fantasy series, thrillers, romantic dramas, crime stories, and several new originals from Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Hulu, Paramount+, Adult Swim, and Disney+.

Windows 11, version 25H2 is an enablement update that builds on the features of 24H2 by enabling new, "continuous innovation" features, rather than introducing entirely new features itself. Key updates include a Braille Viewer for the Narrator, improvements to Click-to-Do (including a new "Convert to Table" feature), support for plug-in credential managers for passkeys, and enhancements to the mobile device companion experience. Microsoft is also implementing IT admin-focused features like the ability to remove pre-installed Store apps and a new Quick Machine Recovery system to reduce downtime.

Archie Shepp at his spiritual best - recording in Paris in 1969, and absorbing a heck of a lot pan-African influences! Shepp's in the lead on tenor - working with a great lineup of up-and coming avant geniuses - Clifford Thortnton on cornet, Lester Bowie on trumpet, Roscoe Mitchell on bass saxophone, Dave Burrell on piano, Malachi Favors on bass, Philly Joe Jones and Sunny Murray on drums - and the unusual addition of Art Taylor on "rhythm logs" and Laurence Devereaux on balafon! The centerpiece of the album is the amazing "Yasmina" - a long track that builds with passion and fire, pulsing with an intensity that you'd expect more from Pharoah Sanders than Shepp himself. Next up is "Sonny's Back", a wonderful straight jazz groover with Archie and Hank Mobley on twin tenors upfront - making a rare and memorable recorded appearance together! The set's capped off by a mellow version of "Body & Soul", one that points towards the more soulful side of Shepp's work in the 70s.
