I don’t know what to believe anymore

It stresses me out that this platform is so similar to Threads, and it also stresses me out that the one that seems like the “better” option isn’t as popping as the other one, but most of all it stresses me out that these are things that stress me out

I’ve been on podcasts lately… “Making Illmatic” with @seandammit.bsky.social x @midazthebeast.bsky.social Cannibal Ox “The Cold Vein”: www.patreon.com/posts/making...

@seandammit.bsky.social Just checking out your 1995 episode... DAMN. Love this new format. It's the reason podcasts were invented 👊🏽 We did our '95 ep last week and it's interesting to compare and contrast your takes. 94 gets gets all the props but 95 is hip -hop's low-key best year. Yeah I said it

Happy National “opening BlueSky more than normal” Day

Keep it Thoro or Stop the Violence when it comes to maturing lyrics in hip-hop? 🤔 @midazthebeast.bsky.social has some hot takes in this week’s episode of The Questions Hip-Hop podcast youtube.com/shorts/eDg35...

This week on The Questions Hip-Hop podcast: we’re doing the Making Illmatic format again, this time with the newest - and longest! - album we’ve ever attempted to trim down to 10 songs: Redman’s ‘Muddy Waters Too’ 👀 32 tracks down to 10 songs 😰 @midazthebeast.bsky.social youtu.be/Wm9MZWXtde4?...

Mysterious grease stain on my cherished, now-completely-sold-out MF DOOM hoodie and I’m despondent

Facebook.

I know you’re not supposed to talk about these things, but… I have never heard a U2 song that made me think “I want to hear how the rest of this song plays out” Let alone “I want to hear multiple songs by this band in a row”

I guess I’m finding it hard to give a shit about anything award show related when all of THIS *gestures around at what is happening in the world* is afoot.

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you how many times I drove over a median this month

For those who havent listened to rhis week’s episode of The Questions, it’s just this 2.5 minute clip looping over and over for two hours. I promise. They’re actually going to strip us of our podcast license. @midazthebeast.bsky.social @dartadams.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/HrQDN...

Bold claims and rarified trivia on this week’s ’Making Illmatic’ episode of The Questions Hip-Hop Podcast. @midazthebeast.bsky.social @dartadams.bsky.social and I are taking on Roc Marciano’s ‘Marcberg’ youtube.com/shorts/f8-oo...

This is a MUST LISTEN for any serious Rap connoisseur. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Perhaps the most sacrilegious ‘Making Illmatic’ episode of The Questions Hip-Hop podcast yet 👀 @midazthebeast.bsky.social @dartadams.bsky.social and I attempt to trim ‘Marcberg’ down to 10 songs 😫 bit.ly/QuestionsPod

Social media really is something else because I actively, definitively did not want to go to NAMM and I’m still getting FOMO from seeing all the photos friends are posting 😂

The world may be be burning but at least some of the secrets are getting revealed in the process youtu.be/vVfUDEa6JoQ?...

What’s it going to take for artists and the authors who write about them to have a better relationship? youtube.com/shorts/EK5df... New episode of The Questions with author Marcus J. Moore this week bit.ly/QuestionsPod

The Questions Hip-Hop podcast returns from its hiatus with Episode #193, featuring Marcus J. Moore. We talk about the current climate of music journalism, the role of the critic in 2025, and yes…the aftermath of his most recent book, ‘High and Rising: A Book About De La Soul.’ bit.ly/QuestionsPod

Me, a guy who never really used TikTok, watching my feeds on every platform lose their minds right now

Stevie Wonder “We Can Work It Out”

It’s wild how unsafe hospital ER waiting rooms feel

Jeremy Strong’s outfit is a tribute to Kid Spearmint, a hip-hop pioneer I just made up

Forever weirded out by people who seem to exclusively listen to white rap and reggae artists

It’s not a free trial if I have to provide a payment method.

Happy New Year to all but especially to magnesium lotion, which has given me relief from the shingle pain I’ve experienced for *checks calendar* TWENTY-THREE DAYS STRAIGHT. THANK. GOD. Let’s keep the healing energy going, 2025 let’s gooooo

How upset do you get when you follow someone and they don’t follow you back? How upset do you get at yourself for being upset when you follow someone and they don’t follow you back?

Revisited this tonight. Flawless, still.

OVER IT

All I want for Xmas is for us to collectively decide if it’s gonna be this, Threads, or X. We need a resolution

I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I guess if I could go back and change anything about my holiday season, I would have chosen to *not* get shingles

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits:

Words cannot describe how pathetic I feel when I double-post here and on X.

Shingle Bell Rock

There is too much incredible music out there - most of which you have not heard - to focus on music you don’t like.

Raw-dogging reality out here

I went to urgent care yesterday because I thought I had the flu. Turns out I have the flu *and* shingles. Can I make a recommendation? Don’t fucking get shingles 💀

News to me in every sense of the phrase

Who is buying full-sized luggage in the airport after they’ve passed through TSA?

I’ve been regularly entrenched in the nightmare of America’s health insurance system most of my life. In the darkest, most frustratingly desperate times, I have had the thought that the only catalyst for real change would come via a brick thru a window…or something more extreme. It is what it is.

I have a Spotify account but use it infrequently (Apple Music is my main jam). So my unwrapped list is always hilariously random and off-base, and the way the data is presented has heavy “happy birthday, I heard you mention a turtle once so here’s a turtle t-shirt” gift-from-a-relative vibes

Why’s the blue sky? Why is wet water?

When I have 100+ tabs open yet still know exactly where everything is. 🧐

I truly don’t care about this or any other holiday but I wish you all the best today and every day of the rest of your lives

There are certain songs - like Michelle Branch’s biggest hit - that I will hear and I always and automatically will only think of these skits

Got around to watching this last night. Solid, fun action-comedy that would probably be more paradigm-shifting for me if I hadn’t already seen ‘Adaptation’ and ‘JCVD.’ Also, eff what you heard, Cage is a fantastic actor

My experience with an album has never been enhanced by reading other peoples’ unsolicited, newly-conceived opinions of it. Just me?
