People in the 90s were so horny for D'Angelo that he basically stopped making music for a while because he was afraid people were only horny for him and not all his super horny songs

We love a relatable king

Very sad news…

The incredible D’Angelo has died.

A pioneer of the neo-soul movement, he was 51.

His musical legacy continues to have a massive impact today.

This means that his son, Michael, has lost both his mother, Angie Stone, and his father within just a matter of months.

Can someone please tell Chuck Schumer that a "War on Corruption" platform would poll at like 80% with his imaginary friends and allow Dems to inact loads of actually good and helpful legislation while seeming like they have a backbone?

Worth noting that CIRS is not a thing. It's a vague term used by wellness grifters. 100% he or his daughter are going to start selling a cure.

Jordan Peterson, explained

ca.news.yahoo.com/jordan-peter...

She explained how her 62-year-old dad had been dealing with a “host of neurological issues this summer that we believe stem from CIRS, which is chronic inflammatory response syndrome, due to decades of mould exposure.”

Fuller added that he had been suffering from symptoms of neuropathy and weakness for the last few years and his condition worsened after Peterson cleaned out his late father’s basement earlier this year.

“We don’t have a better explanation for his neurological symptoms at the moment other than spiritual attacks,” she said.

One of my favorite dumb guy bits is earnestly saying "I think we'd all agree" then following it with absolutely insane shit no one in the world would ever agree with

hailey @hailey.at · 11d

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok

i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron
