The most infuriating part is that the people MOST responsible are elderly leaders who will be long dead by the time shit really hits the fan.

🧵 1. I saw some high-profile pro-Palestine accounts condemning Mamdani for saying "I'm going to have ppl in my admin who are Zionists" & for allegedly putting a "softer spin on his anti-Israel past"

So [coughs, puts on ye ol' media analysis professor hat] I looked into the source and HOOO BOY...

It's crazy. Blood essentially hid from public cause women treated him like a stripper at his shows when he wanted to get his art off

Sharing how the "How Does It Feel" video was your sexual awakening as a remembrance of D'Angelo seems tone deaf as hell as a tribute to someone who, in life, hated how people treated him as more of a sex symbol than a musician after that video was released 🫠

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

Cory Booker’s default face of pursed lips and furrowed brow pisses me off.

It’s like a weird mixture of smug and feigned compassion.

And yeah, this just rawdog hating—not critique!

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

It's really weird to have been a teenager or 20-something in the 1990s and then say in middle age with your entire chest "racism was solved back then, then it was brought back."

And a few of them posted TikToks of some artists showing that he damn near bar for bar stole their music.
He was basically farming their creations to feed to his bullshit “creation”

GenAI “art” is not only environmentally harmful……it’s theft

i see Timbalands music video with his AI artist Tata hasn’t made it over here yet… anyways.. um.. he was doing lives on tik tok having black musicians showcase their talent thinking he was going to sign someone, just for him to later end up creating an asian AI rapper

I‘m staring at this post like I was a Black student in the 90s and 2000s and had to share a campus with racist Young Republicans

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 1d

My parents' generation was super racist, but they took pains to hide it from us. So a lot of young conservatives in the 90s and early aughts were earnest small government and/or evangelical types.

As I said, the overt racists and radicals had to form their own orgs.

D’Angelo has spoken against his sex icon image. He was pushed into that by the label and hated when he was on tour and ladies were treating him like a stripper. I hope in his passing we can celebrate his incredible musicality and dedication to the craft. 🌚

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️
