I bought this bag of the most vicious onions I've ever chopped in my life, and I've chopped a fair few onions. and I'm too stubborn to throw them in the compost, so crying it is

I need to hear Taz explain how you can't see when you're crying from really gnarly onions

I was a suburban white teenager in the 90s, when music was one's aesthetic and everything was super factional. D'Angelo was perhaps the first contemporary artist to make me realize I had to get my head outta my ass and stop being obnoxious and just enjoy things. thanks for the vision, sir

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

Since the literal beginning of AEW, Dustin Rhodes has loudly & publicly denounced transphobia, specifically aimed at Nyla Rose. You are absolutely allowed to be surprised that Dustin Rhodes is actually that stupid.

Imagine being this proud of stupidity and voting for someone who is actively trying to destroy your child.

Get fucked Dustin.

I checked, it's real, let him know

what's great, precisely, Dustin? #AEW

I do wish they'd included the open challenge announcement and challenger's entrance, though!

This speaks volumes given he worked so closely with Sting who could have easily been an egotistical star, but clearly wasn't. Big names can help build AEW and be celebrated, they just need to have an attitude of humbleness and service.

If Takeshita has to commit more time to NJPW now, could AEW get ZSJ for some winter dates?
