I get you but I kinda think the context where he said that is important. I read it more as “don’t blame artists for things completely out of their control”

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I believe regular nbc gets a game every tuesday

dude was hardcore racist and sexist. still time to delete!

I think nbc still gets 2 games a week but yeah it’s rough. they’re begging people to pirate at this point

2025 world series recap

why is every white guy’s 2 favorite rap albums “supreme clientele” and a one-off mixtape from a 2010s Atlanta rapper

there are just so many bad decisions that must be made before someone decides they need ai to summarize an email

rare case where I actually preferred the deluxe tracks to the original

@rhyslangston.bsky.social’s new Pale Black Negative LP is terrific

The live instrumentation, all self-played is routinely warm and inviting

The singer-songwriter meets rap ethos of the record leads to some truly beautiful slices of melodic sweetness

With thoughtful lyrical vulnerability to boot 🙏🏽

new level of hell just dropped

this is what playboi carti sounds like to me

who the hell decided calls are something we hop onto

never really got into yod’s music but man is he good with the name puns

just had a burrito that turned my whole day around

think I just found out I might be a jinx

as a casual nba fan I think cleveland vs okc or denver would be the most entertaining finals.

just really hope the celtics aren’t there bc they are soooo boring
