I settled on a clip from the (incredible) doc Sly Lives! (watch it now on Hulu if you haven't.) I think it's the most transparent commentary I ever heard from D'Angelo; it's about Sly, but it's really about him.

My plan was to grab a whole different clip, but this one felt right.

Welp—CDC’s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)—our health census—has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.—is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

I have great parking karma, but shitty grocery line luck. I'll get in the shortest line, or behind the person with the fewest groceries and all of a sudden it's a shift change, multiple payment methods, a return, item won't ring, etc.

Pancreatic cancer is no joke. 44% survival rate if localized. <20% if metastatic. That's rough.
