RIP D'Angelo

I think about this 2012 GQ profile of him a lot

The Return of D'Angelo - GQ June 2012 Profile

He was once hailed as the next Marvin Gaye. Then, after his ripped body threatened to overshadow his music, he vanished into addiction. So what the hell was he doing recently singing his heart out in ...

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

@seanflinn.bsky.social Sean! It was so good to see you. Because I'm in the UK it's asking me to jump through the age verification hoops to get to my messages but once I'm back home I'll shoot you a DM.

my core strength is the fact that im 5'11''. too tall to feel short compared to anyone but too short to be so tall people get horny over it. my mind is like a small steel sphere. in terms of focus its like doing 20.000 consecutive years of semen retention in a cave on the tibetan plateau

Explaining Dustin the Turkey (and his political history) to those who've lived a life outside Ireland is always rewarding.

oh hahaha no, I'm sorry apparently a full half of the 3000 settlement per book goes to the publisher, so I think my total share is $3750 for stealing my work in an attempt to replace me

Joseph Fink @planetoffinks.bsky.social · 7d

Assuming there aren't other fees or splits I'm not aware of, I will be paid $7500 for my life's work being fed into The Machine, and also they won't be removing my work from The Machine

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach. 💚

B’ambasadóir é Manchán dár nglúin féin agus duine a bhí lárnach san athbheochán a tharla ar na mallaibh sa chultúr agus sa Ghaeilge. Sheas sé i lár an aonaigh agus thiocfadh a rá nár chuir sé é féin ansin ach gur chuir an pobal ann é.

Ina bhealach séimh féin, chuir sé i gcuimhne dúinn fán ról atá ag an teanga maidir le tuiscint níos doimhne a fháil ar an cheantar thart orainn agus orainn féin.

Mairfidh a oidhreacht i meon fiosrach spreagúil na nGael agus iontu siúd a théann sa tóir ar shaol níos doimhne agus fíoraithe.

Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach. 💚

Perhaps unwillingly, he was the foremost cultural ambassador for our generation and instrumental in the resurgence of Irish language and culture.

He gently reminded us of the role the language has in understanding our surroundings, and knowing ourselves.

His legacy will live on in the curious minds of the Irish and beyond, in those who seek a deeper and more fulfilling life.

Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach 💚

Horribly sad. Manchán was very funny and kind, and once shared a great story with me from when he spent a weekend asking for condoms in Irish in the small town where I live.
His Arán & Im show was on tour. I was hoping to catch it just to say hi.
Slán abhaile, Manchán.

The unceasing obsession with sex and purity in combination with paranoid fear of actual sexual contact or human relationships is in many ways the defining anxiety of our time.
