This was always the problem with terms like woke: it's irresistibly catchy but (post-appropriation) has no fixed meaning, so it becomes a blank canvas to project whatever you personally dislike about "the discourse" and then speak as if that's self-evidently what it always meant

Kaseem Ryan was born on August 11, 1972. Today Ka would have been 54 years old.

Rest in Peace ❤️🕊️

@mr_bobbins You gotta calm down man :) I was almost certainly here before you on that front, ask your boy about me

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

Gotta say, I don't see how this particular clip warranted all the "what are we to do with this kooky Hasan guy" handwringing that comes after it?

[Pod Save America @PodSaveAmerica]

Chris Hayes and Alex Wagner discuss the roles of Hasan Piker and the establishment after Abdul El-Sayed's primary win.

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

@ZacharyLipez I don't love Chi's catchphrase but I thought her follow-up right after this clip ends gave it a better framing

@Freshdotdaily @AuxGod_ "don't tell minister farrakhan" is a bar for the ages tbh

It would be a red flag if he DIDN'T get booed here

[Jeff Coltin @JCColtin]

Mayor Mamdani got booed on Staten Island at the NYPD National Night Out event at Midland Beach, per this Facebook video. He smiled through it and kept remarks *very* short.

@Bboy_Izilla Discovering Stephen Chow back in the days was life-changing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

@norabird Agree you can still find a form of this joy of discovery when an algorithm's on its game but I think they're right that it's missing the "gamble," been thinking a lot about how the effort/risk/commitment required by the old ways added different layers to the experience

@heavyspoilers nooooooooooooooooooo come on

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

Sun Ra Arkestra opening for Sonic Youth at Summerstage

[SPIN @SPIN]

Who is the best opening act you've ever seen before the main headliner?

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

@Slangdini When that Barcade announcement alluded to how "the nightlife has faded away" down there that hit me in the heart 🥺

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

This is getting retweeted by the same people who said Giuliani was "America's Mayor"

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

@hilaryr With all respect the "defining issue" of any election can only be decided by the voters. And thinking such things can be mandated from the top-down instead is exactly the kind of in-the-bubble arrogance that brought us this era of catastrophic Dem failure

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

@AsadFromNYC Oh they knew that they chose it lol

[Jay Smooth @jsmooth995]

@Cupcakes_n_Rap @MickeyFactz I think it was only the guy behind the counter and he was like "uhh I dunno man I don't think ppl are thinking about you?"
