Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Wyatt Cenac & @donwill.bsky.social return to Nitehawk Prospect Park next Thursday with another Blaxploitation classic for their next edition of SHOUTING AT THE SCREEN

Wrote a lil something about the 15 year anniversary of my debut album

dog

happy 15 year anniversary to my first solo project time flies!

I've been posting my DJ sets over on my Mixcloud page. This joint is perfect for a long drive

the hyperfocus on boycotting target instead of spreading that energy around is kinda weird to me i am not pro-target at all but it just feels like tunnel vision

You made it to the weekend, so treat yourself. This week's What's Good has new joints from PremRock, Goya Gumbani, Previous Industries, Squadda B, and much more. Also I played around with the format a bit, and give a preview of next week. Tap in! blog.djregular.tech/whats-good-w...

That State Farm ad campaign that featured all the cool celebs had a roll out like it was an actual film. All of this shit is dumb

this feels oddly symbolic at the moment

at first i thought maybe i need to take instagram off my phone but actually maybe i just need to take my phone off my mind

I have some thoughts about the new Playboi Carti album.

very interested to see how this story develops because historically black ppl trying to protecting ourselves always goes left. couple that with the region and climate this is happening in and well...

Just finished going through @donwill.bsky.social's newsletter for the week, and had to note that I wore "Aight, New Drink" out back in the day. From back before I actually used the Bandcamp mobile app and had to pull everything onto my phone manually.

new Paul Barman produced by DJ Harrison feat ME! and there's a whole album where this came from. mcpb.bandcamp.com/track/killin...

New Music Tuesday #66 This week we got Madison McFerrin, Yukimi, Homeboy Sandman, NAO, IDK, Little Simz, Kaidi Tatham, 6ix feat Buddy, Blu and Like as well as Talib Kweli feat Black Thought, Posdunous, The Jungle Brothers and Busta Rhymes also a fundraiser for a dear friend. Tap in!

did you guys know french montana did a song with lara trump? I didn't either and while i'm not into sharing music i don't like i can't help but tip you off to it's existence I offset this random piece of info with a ton of great new music by jose james, durand brenarr, the pharcyde and even myself!

John Oliver continues to do some amazing work

I make a lot of content around new music. Here is a link to the latest episode of my show on East Village Radio. If you got 2 hours to burn press play.

New music Tuesday is here with a fresh batch of releases. This week was mostly about indie artists which is dope. So if the only album you knew about dropping last week was Drake you should tap in! Also as always chime in on the comments and tell me what I missed!

What is the difference between even.biz and Bandcamp?

Our full tracker of the DOGE folks, with new additions, is here: projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do... A @propublica.org team effort: @chrisbing.bsky.social, @shaw.al, Avi Asher-Schapiro, @justinelliott.bsky.social, @andykroll.bsky.social, @kirstenberg.bsky.social + more

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

We need more of this. People who used to host public access TV shows and just casually unearth gold like, I dunno... actual video footage of the creation of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) at Firehouse Studios in '92/'93 and the crew listening to the beat for "C.R.E.A.M." for the first time?

Whole lotta new music dropped last week and a lot of the stuff I enjoyed and wanted to share can be found in my newsletter

. @wyattcenac.com & @donwill.bsky.social are back with a special guest and another Black cult cinema classic in SHOUTING AT THE SCREEN, Thursday 2/20 Nitehawk Prospect Park

Using the word woke as a pejorative is so fucking lazy and vague.

what happened to all the QAnon folk?

I see we're going to require a lot more honesty about the USA's habitual and continued violent white supremacist land theft. It's not hard to find empathy for Palestinians when the state does the same shit here.

does adam22's audience hip hop and porn audiences overlap or are they separate? i would assume his hip hop audience is young men so i feel like they would know about his other career but just curious. also i don't like adam22

Helena Durham-Harvey: first black person to say ‘now this dont make no sense’ after standing in line too long

In a very strange turn of events Substack is filling the void that X left more than BlueSky is.

forgot to mention that I dropped my weekly substack and its got a ton of new music that you might have missed from last week as well as music videos, movie trailers and dates to catch me live this month.

CVS stands for Complicating Very Simple shit.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I will add to this the other folks that go unseen who are also crucial: the ones who digitally preserve, restore, store, & help dissimante materials (my line of wor). All are needed & work together so just know there are more ppl involved & more ppl to tap who can be of service.

I did not know this. I also don’t remember the soundtrack at all lol

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Where do you get your local news from?

What I did on my Christmas break: Officially picked up my pen for the first time in a while, went home to @vibemagazine.bsky.social, & talked to one of my storytelling heroes @questlove.bsky.social @ SLY LIVES!, Black genius, Black trauma, and why artists crash out. www.vibe.com/features/dig...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Gotta start an app that tracks all of this and call it DeFundMe

what happened to the loudness wars?
