D’Angelo, Groundbreaking R&B Artist, Dies at 51 From his 1995 debut Brown Sugar to his 2014 comeback Black Messiah, he helped define the neo-soul movement

Can’t say it loud enough: fuck cancer.

I feel very fortunate to have seen him play one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely tragic loss. pitchfork.com/news/dangelo...

Well, I guess I found my panel afterparty spot.

Panel? Check back next week!

Do you need to be in NYC for it? Great if you are, but if not, you may still get the experience sans afterparty.

Oh, I don’t think this showed up in my notifications so I just saw it.

From what I recall, it was incredibly cryptic off the bat without any establishment of characters. It felt like I had to decode everything. It’s not the type of dialogue I usually vibe with.

I wonder if you can set up automated responses to key words that give them incorrect advice.
