I’d argue that the infrastructure of Black musical development (church choir/musician training, school choir/band) is not as prevalent. Many Black musicians learn the fundamentals in church. As people move away from it, folks havent replicate the frameworks that it provided, socially or musically.

Dismissal was the only choice

He invented NEW ways to lose a rap beef with this 😂😂

Listen; if I walk into a salon; I need to see the old Gods at work; I'm talmbout plugged in and worn. I need a beautician with anointed hands with these at her station. Lord please send one of your angels to me on my quest to find a new stylist. Amen. ✨️🙌🏾

Jamaican excellence does not reach every one of our people.

Yes, Venezuela 🇻🇪 has been under attack by the greater west for ages because socialism bad, relinquish all your mineral and all wealth good.

That lady is a CIA asset. When she gets the award she’s probably gonna go to Guyana 🇬🇾 and jump start the “liberal revolution“ against Venezuela.

Whew this piece is so scathing.

Bro's just a neverending geyser of cringe. I cannot belive that goober is younger than me.

Yao looking like a giant Dad is hilarious.

They aren't turning the frogs gay. they're turning frogs into antifa 😂

I love this poem. It was the last poem from Carver's last book written while he was dying of cancer. It is the inscription on his tombstone apparently too.

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

So my go-to comfort food reading is mid-century whodunnits. But surprise! Everyone in these books is worried about Nazis and the price of eggs.

I could be nice about all this but at this point all i’ve got to say is just do some fucking reading (or use google, such as it is) and spare us all your bullshit.

People acting like Disney being fascist is new should go back and read the company’s history. Disney himself was a Nazi-sympathizer and only got into the US propaganda film game because he was also a staunch Nationalist. Before that he literally hosted dinner parties for Nazis.

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

It is very hard for me not to cut and paste passages from my book into posts at this point. I have been told by my editor not to give away the goods. That said. The difference in scale of outrage between Attiah’s firing and Kimmel’s suspension proves a whole point about canaries and coal mines.

guys, just pirate TV.
cancel everything and steal.

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.

ethereal.

So Jimmy Kimmel’s show getting pulled is the thing that’s gonna—

You know what, never mind. Whatever it takes.

And none of those people have said a thing …

Where’s rife ?

Let me be the one to say it plain and clear. America is not intelligent or self-sufficient enough as a nation to be isolationist. American exceptionalism is a dangerous delusion. Like an Icarus level delusion. And it's so deep too many folks don't realize the wings already burned & we're plummeting.
