“I was just thinking, what are we doing wrong? We’re not doing anything. We’re just trying to work and live our lives without doing anything bad to anyone.”

“What does he have on us?”

Thank god for Rolling Stone. Putting the NYT and others to shame for calling it what it is consistently.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

also, the latest now: “A source with knowledge of the matter says that Trump White House staff have already begun the process of making phone calls and sending messages to prominent allies of both Trump and Musk…

“Look at this poor bastard."

"After three days of this stuff, you could hardly muster a double take when a panel moderator earnestly asked, 'What are the similarities between Bitcoin and the American Revolution?'"

“For every music that I come across in my life experience, hip-hop is what I know as being mine. It’s my native language. And so for me to really feel like I could make this movie, I had to truly understand that blues was hip-hop’s ancestor.”
