D’Angelo’s Genius Was Pure, and Rare www.newyorker.com/culture/post...

The musician, who died this week, made work so sensual it prompted women at his concerts to howl for him to disrobe. But his artistry was always deeper than that.

I'd watch a lighter Bosch spinoff with Crate and Barrel. They're hilarious!

MGM+ is making "Bosch: Start of Watch" a prequel series that will "explore the origin story of Michael Connelly’s legendary detective Harry Bosch."

a) I think we're Bosched-out by now

b) Why does MGM+ continue to exist if MGM was sold to Amazon a few years ago? What are their subscriber numbers!

The OG is truly the best imo. I watched Bosch Legacy and it was meh to me. I didn't bother with Ballard because it looked like a soft glam promo for LAPD. No thanks. I would've checked out a spinoff with J Edgar/Jamie Hector but that wasn't to be. So, yes, I agree, we're Bosch'd out.

It’s wild how much whiteness wants credit for putting out fires it started.

Black people are told to be thankful to white people for “saving” us from slavery they created.

US presidents boast about ceasefire deals for conflicts they funded with tax money.

Whiteness isn’t water. It’s Kerosene.

There is a radio station in LA, K-RTH 101, that plays them. I removed it from my save stations. That shit is jarring in its horribleness.

*thanks to politicians who share those views and propagate them through government institutions

There's nothing inherently shocking about the far right doing/saying far-right things, but it is a good reminder of how quickly terms associated with extremist fringes move into the "mainstream" discourse (however defined these days), thanks to politicians and institutions adopting them.

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a major threat to (what remains of) the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But this isn't the first time the VRA has faced dire threats; in 2013 and 2021, SCOTUS weakened other provisions. We can learn from those why Callais could be so dangerous 🧵
