Black Messiah landed in December 2014, after the uprising in Ferguson had dominated the news for four months, which made "All we wanted was a chance to talk/'Stead we only got outlined in chalk" the most heart-stopping current events thing I'd ever heard from popular music.

If you're only going to make three, make them this great. "Voodoo" and "Black Messiah" are incredible records.

Oof, the emotional whiplash of learning from two skeets that Alex Jones lost his $1.4 billion case and that D'Angelo is gone...

Not the point, but Colin Kaepernick started his kneeling protest in **2016**.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Political journalism unfortunately sometimes goes in a similar direction —making things sound nuanced or complex, so writers can show off their expertise (and readers can imitate it) when it’s often pretty simple.

This is a thing I’ve been saying lately: consultants are incentivized to tell clients that their problems are complicated and require a lot of expertise to solve — because otherwise you don’t need consultants! “Stand up for what you think is right and say so” is too simple to be profitable.

‘Dying’ in this case means ‘being murdered.’

Professional news really is dying… CBS is now aggregating blog posts with obvious copy errors 🫠

southpaw @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social · 1d

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

“What do you call an act like that?!”
“The Susan Collins!”

When you get rich, people stop saying “no” and “that’s a stupid idea” to you. Often, you also get a lot of positive media attention. At the same time, even as your brains are warped by that stuff, your money people can make it impossible for you to go broke, so being a dipshit has no consequences.

Once you've decided that no sensible person could possibly disagree with you, all sorts of stupid conspiracy theories start to feel plausible.

These movies (especially the first one) were such a formative influence on me.

Against my will I’m reminded of “Yesterday,” that ‘what if a guy went to an alternate reality where the Beatles didn’t exist’ movie — where the dude’s Beatles cover album is promoted that way, and it feels grumpy and spiteful and like nobody would care.

This is wonderful!

Mamdani Take: he does have some advantages, including being up against two absolutely awful opponents plus a terrible incumbent. And yes, he's great at social media. But one simple thing he says about the path forward is that Dems want a candidate who believes in things.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

After Adams inevitably goes to prison, maybe they can rename it after him.

You do need to do more, because people need to see more of this awesomeness!
