What I'm tripping on is this has happened repeatedly. I remember my first AWS outage (try explaining this to anyone 11+ years ago) like, this won't happen again. And, like, no one has tried to implement something different? Like none of the big players. Idk, fam. Idk.

Having to parent your parents when much of your childhood was spent being educated (euphemism AF) to not talk to them like you're on level footing is not in the getting older handbook.

You'd think all these repeated AWS outages and their impact would be the impetus to move toward something else. Alas.

stop fucking replying to this about headphone jacks. i don't give a shit about if you have to figure out bluetooth. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE WATCHING A VIDEO AT ALL TIMES. JUST FUCKIN PUT IT DOWN. READ A FUCKIN BOOK OR SOMETHING

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

I read this in Mr. Johnson's voice. The camera zooms in to a shocked Jacob.

The things, ideas, beliefs, what have you that people choose to cling to as everything crumbles around us is.. something.

Fam got tired of aging and simply decided not to do it.

I, too, for the longest thought that was a Kanye beat. It has been debunked several times, but the interview with Kanye is kinda funny. He said he didn't take credit for it initially but people kept giving him credit anyway. So he just started saying "thanks."

I have no idea why I started this, but there for a while I'd start my Fridays at work off by playing the Down and Out beat. Anywho, I decided to revive that today. youtu.be/Rjx0_Uf6YuE?...

I walked by somebody sitting in their car blasting Playa Playa. Just sitting there, parked. Same, fam. Same.

I looked too quick and was like "What's Meg doing on an episode of SVU?"

I watched some more Soulquarians stuff. Who got what beat between Common and D has always fascinated me. I'm SO glad they did not give Common that Chicken Grease beat. *Whispers* I wish they would've given D'Angelo Funky For You too, though, in hindsight, I'm not sure it would've fit Voodoo.

If anyone, let alone a legend, hit me and my music with that compliment.. Idek.

What a god damn compliment. RIP, D'Lo.

I'm drinking a cold brew shandy right now. It's cold brew and lemonade. It's good, and I'd drink another. But it's funny cos even though it's good, with every sip I still don't know if this drink should've happened. KnowwhatImean?

Not only that! You could order a large pizza, give the driver $20, and have change left AFTER the tip.

51 ain't old at all. SMH

Damn man. About to run my Voodoo vinyl into ash. Trash ass year.

"Holy smokes!"

If you: 1. Go to chrome://flags 2. Type in "AI" in the Search Flags bar 3. Turn all the "Defaults" to "Disabled" You can turn off ALL the AI bullshit in Chrome. Here's a demonstration www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si1s...

He did it on a video before. It's either 11 or 13 counts (which is itself sociopathic). Something like that. Anywho, that's Louisville's finest, Bryson Tiller, aka Pen Griffey, got dammit. 🫡

You know those types of people who don't smile when they laugh? Terrifying individuals those, IMHO.

"They" being the Roots. Questlove's hips do be lying. SMH.

Delayed response AF: I was thinking about that clip of Eve that was doing the rounds some days ago. Eve didn't get credited in You Got Me (TDIL*) and didn't they screw Jill Scott out of the feature, too? They straight up tried Philly's women artists. SMH

Oh, Kaytranada, fam. What are we doing?!

Funny enough, I got into a conversation about the Circle of Fifths with another musician. He told me he was having trouble connecting what he was hearing to the piano. I told him to memorize the Circle of Fifths and everything would be unlocked. Truly a life changing discovery.

Saw an Excel formula with Y$7 and did a strong double take. Like, I had no idea we were calculating the percentage change of Young Thug. Anywho.

Special place in hell for the first person who sent "thanks in advance!" Even more special place in hell for the person that took it and made it a staple in the corporate lexicon.

We are about to get hit even harder with the prices in the grocery stores & skin care. If you know any deals, tricks, and dupes please share your resources. Help the sky folks out! (Feel free to thread them here) ❤️

But always have grace for that version of you that thought everyone was watching. There was a reason you felt that way. That's how I stayed sane after this realization, anyway.

I have slowly come to a somewhat blasphemous realization: I don't like barbershops.

I really need to migrate away from Bluesky. 😫

It hit the mid to high 80s this weekend in Detroit. That's Detroit in late September. Fam.

Yeah, man. Maybe I shouldn't have thrown away that revival invitation I found on my car.

You said you needed peace Then spent the week in Greece Phone off you said you were sleep I know you was getting your cheeks beat BITCH!

If Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote it, I will [grab my dictionary and] read it.

Eclipse season trying to get ya boy up outta here.

There's a special place in hell, if not a special hell on its own, for people who get paid to rage bait on the internet.

Fantastic. Now turn the making of the halftime show into a documentary to win an Oscar, then turn that documentary into 'Beef: The Movie' The Musical to win a Tony and do the funniest thing by EGOTing.

Being the exception to the rule is my MO.

Apropos of nothing but also everything, I love Bronzeville. I love this neighborhood, its history, and the community.

My mom is older than Ruby Bridges. She vividly remembers this whole episode.

This apostrophe epidemic is upsetting to ya boy. It's like a huge mass of English speakers up and forgot how to use it's and its.

If you bought Clover Valley coffee from Dollar General, you might've been brewing glass. www.newsweek.com/coffee-recal...

My DST aunt stays mentioning "[her] friend, Evelyn." I was joking about this with my guy whose mom is a Delta. He was like "bruh, Mom always talks about her friend, Evelyn too!" Does every pre-80s Delta line have a friend, Evelyn? 😂

A reminder that Steve Bessent over saw a global hedge fund and taught Economics at Yale. And he knows he is lying.

I love how this song uses a "traditional" jazz format. open.spotify.com/track/0FUooJ...

It physically pains me when not all skin folk are kinfolk.
