For reggae, Jimmy Cliff's passing is on the same level as John Lennon, Prince, Aretha Franklin, Freddie Mercury, or anyone else of that stature. It's a huge loss.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.
