Yeah he and I text constantly. We go out of our way to not include you. For obvious reasons, I think.

The D'Angelo news is surreal. I just introduced my son to Voodoo a few days ago. One recommendation: Dan Charnas' remarkable J Dilla biography Dilla Time, which really feels and reads like a Soulquarians biography. I didn't want to listen to anything else for months after reading it.

Hard to express how much I love these two artists. I've been hoping they'd finally record a full album together, and getting to see them perform on tour next year will be an absolute dream come true for me.

40-year-old dads will be like “I needed this” and it’s just the acclaimed television series Task on HBO

I get paid 7 figures a year to come up with this shit. Some stuff I have cooking up for you to look forward to: Amazon Prime changing to Amazon Plus. Paramount Plus changing to Paramount Now. HBO Max changing to just HBO. I fucking hate all of you and I will never stop.

Headline about Apple TV+ changing to Apple TV.

In hindsight *maybe* could’ve picked a slightly less spooky book to read in the woods but no regrets. Loving this, @renbolger.bsky.social @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Technically I also “lost“ the Nobel prize but since I savvily didn’t spend the last 6 months openly campaigning for it like a needy little child, I managed to avoid these headlines today

Who is the funniest person they could give the Nobel Peace Prize to tomorrow? Barack Obama again?

WES: That’s not discrimination! (2/2)
