THIS MAN IS PREACHING

Real ones know.

My writerly friends who have been on bestseller lists keep insisting that I have a book in me. I have no idea what that book is but it should probably include a vignette where I reminisce on DC strip clubs that no longer exist with a masc of center woman at 2am on New York Ave. Shout out to Club 55.

Bro. Look. I have been obsessed with this song and this performance since she dropped it. EVERYTHING I LOVE IS IN HERE.

I used to have a Washington Post byline. I worked alongside people who did profoundly important journalism. It's crazy that all of that is just... done forever.

FRIIEEEEEND!!!!! 🤣

Things that sustain my belief in humanity:

A couple slow dragging to Kendrick+SZA "Luther"

The DC natives who came alive in the room bc I played a go-go set in a venue where you'd never hear a go-go set.

My job is alright sometimes.

LET'S START A THEEAD ABOUT THIS

Fine ass Black women in DC are still undefeated. This is a mildly tipsy observation from tonight's pre-Valentine's gig.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Can't wait to hear how this is deeply un-American

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

The Durand Bernarr victory lap is a gift that keeps on giving. The running down the aisle memes. Sharing his relationship with his parents. Detailing his long career path to get to this point. The gratitude and dedication. It's nice when the deserving people win.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

We can only hope they don't harm their romantic partners. But they can go to town on themselves.

Bezos gave rapey ass Ratner an easy, cushy gig and the Trump family a $28 million direct bribe while snuffing out a formally foundational newspaper and also dumping 16,000 employees. Billionaires are viruses.

Time: The Donut of the Heart – J Dilla's Masterpiece Turns 20 | Passion of the Weiss We break down the myth-making and pathos of Dilla's magnum opus on the 20th anniversary of its release.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of J Dilla's death and the release of "Donuts."

@elmattic.bsky.social went deep on the mythology, impact, and legacy of the greatest hip-hop instrumental album ever made.

There's no agreed upon value for journalist labor when living in the era of Facts Don't Matter.

Assholes like Bezos, Musk, etc. could fund journalistic, humanitarian, scientific, cultural institutions in perpetuity on the planet, probably cure world hunger and still have lifetimes of money they could never fully spend. Billionaires are a virus.

It was some clownery when WaPo adopted the tagline "Democracy Dies In Darkness" but when there's an information crisis, a widespread rejection of empirical truth across society and snowballing authoritarianism, that phrase isn't alarmist at all.

Dude... 😩🤦🏽‍♂️

The WaPo cuts are devastating. And to cut the Books section entirely makes the already bleak critical landscape even more bare. This was all preventable but Bezos, who could find the post I perpetuity without noticing it, is hellbent on destroying the Post. And for what?

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

Another cataclysmic round of WaPo layoffs discarding more of the smartest and most dedicated people I've ever worked with. And a dickhead who is wealthy beyond human comprehension is responsible. How much more money does Bezos need to hoard?

Kendrick has won nine and counting Grammys since Drake said "Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy"

Man, it’s wild that normal people just go to work every day while the people who run everything meticulously document their sex crimes

correct. there are going to be different levels of participation and knowledge but those ppl wanna be in the room with perceived “status”

white supremacists really like fantasizing about Black people in chains, for some reason.
