D'Angelo's music aside, it feels impossible to explain the impact of the Untitled video when it came out. So many Gen X men really closely examining their self-esteem and/or sexuality for the first time. We were all immediately like 70 percent less attractive to every woman alive.

Yeah, interesting parallel but not equal trajectories. Tribe might still be my favorite group, but De La were so groundbreaking, Pos might honestly still be my all-time favorite MC, and Buhloone Mind State remains probably my favorite rap record.

Been trying to explain the supremacy of De La to my Gen Z son for years and then his favorite rapper does it in 40 seconds.

RIP D'Angelo, the greatest singer since Marvin departed. Who took the grit & attitude of hip-hop & alchemized it into angelic voodoo. He condensed the human condition - sex, suffering, addiction, love, oppression - into pure transcendence. A comet emitting blinding light & soul.

Why was James Franklin's buyout so big? The answer revolves all around the most important man of our time: Clay Helton, of course. The free newsletter's version that did not arrive conveniently in your inbox for you:

"Show us your papers" is literally inspired by a thing Nazi collaborators said in one of the most famous movies of the 20th century.

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

LinkedIn post about how a guy got a job interview at Strava by running a route that spelled HIRE ME on the map

HIRE ME written on the map (looking more like HIRE NE tbh)

commenter asks if the guy got the job and OP says “I don't think so. But his effort got him noticed and a foot in the door when so many others didn't”

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal

Only one name on there would have that impact on me and it’s not either of those two (because they haven’t killed anyone that we know of)
