I think it's a good song, though I'm not sure it would have landed as a hit without his name attached. Liked it after a listen or two, but not sure I'll make my rotation unless the whole album does.

The other day I laughed at a post and liked it before realizing the person wasn’t satirizing the boot-lickiest way you could possibly react to the recent news. It’s rough out there.

Not that we shouldn’t strive for lofty goals. But I’d like the specifics of what that looks like before we start campaigning on it. Though maybe it’s our shortest path back to a shared national reality? I don’t have any good answers here.

I agree, but I’m not sure that I see a path back. Maybe if you heavily regulate minors’ social media use, make it “uncool?” and wait 20 years? But is algorithmically promoted content something we can regulate at all? Like would there be the political energy for that now or in the foreseeable future?

I guess my question is--short of abolishing these companies in their entirely--how do we protect the rights of the listener? We can't show everyone who logs in every tweet from every person. Chronological timelines only? No "discover" feature and let reposts be the only non-opt in connection point?

Over in the bad place they were squealing with glee at the possibility. They seemed positively thrilled at the idea of a law punishing the people it’s supposed to protect (presumably as some kind of karmic punishment for being Black)

Is there any argument that this is anything other than outright evil?

I have to think they'll release the follow up report immediately if it was determined to be a fake. Unless they want to sit and let the story circulate as proof of a "smear" campaign against DJT by the press when they do eventually release the report.

Yes, but less so than other adjacent songs?
