Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).

D'Angelo. I remember when Brown Sugar came out. I was young & pretty ignorant of soul, r&b, etc. The video came on & I thought oh god, nothing sounds like this. It got me thinking. Now I know where he came from, but his use of those influences is still gorgeous, surprising, & unique. RIP.
