Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Lutnick on Epstein:

Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it?

Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

This was my mom’s record. I hadn’t listened to it since I was ten or so but it immediately transported me back to that time. I really miss my mom.

Survival of the Fittest: The Everlasting Impact of Mobb Deep’s “The Infamous” On its 30th anniversary, Son Raw dives into the ever-lasting impact of Mobb Deep’s The Infamous, the sound of two post-adolescent geniuses from the QBC, plunging into darkness, violence, and …

I didn't think there was anything left to be said about Mobb Deep's "The Infamous," but @sonraw.bsky.social wrote a brilliant essay about its cultural impact and timelessness on its 30th anniversary.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”

She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.
