@jehansdream@TotalMusicSnobs I know it’s been awhile since yall have put out a pod but after hearing the news about D’Angelo I immediately wondered how yall would eulogize that brilliant artist. Hope yall are doing well. Peace.
When I was 12 years old first hearing this on the radio, I knew I had to convince my older cousin to take me to the record store so I could buy it. The pure joy it gave me, the sounds that filled my ears. The raw emotion that exuded through his art. Rest in peace sir.
Rest in peace, D’Angelo…
Today, the music world is mourning the loss of a true soul pioneer. According to multiple reports, the legendary singer Michael Eugene Archer, better known as D’Angelo, has died at the age of 51 after a quiet battle with pancreatic cancer.
From his breakthrough debut Brown Sugar to the richly complex Voodoo and his long-awaited return with Black Messiah, D’Angelo’s work changed the shape of modern R&B and neo-soul. He blurred lines between genres — infusing gospel, funk, jazz, hip-hop — always with a raw emotional core.
He wasn’t just an artist; he was a guiding light. His legacy will live on in every artist who strives for authenticity, depth, and a connection beyond the mainstream.
To his family, his children, his collaborators, and every fan whose heart he touched — may you find strength in his music, comfort in memories, and peace in the knowledge that his voice will echo forever.
Rest well, D.
Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."
This video says everything you need to know about the GOP's school funding bill.
Asked repeatedly by @JamesTalarico if HB 2 catches schools up to 2019 levels, the bill author won't give a straight answer.
Why? Because it doesn't.

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard.
You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway.
You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard.
And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school.
Say no to vouchers.
Speaker Mike Johnson said proxy voting was "unconstitutional" (after he did it himself—39 times.)
Last week, GOP Rep. Byron Donalds voted remotely—while in LA. Let's just call that what it is. It's voter fraud.
Maybe he thought nobody would notice. I noticed.
We can’t forget what Greg Abbott did.
When a bipartisan coalition rejected his voucher scam, he retaliated by withholding funding from our public schools.
He’s sacrificing 5.5 million school children to please his billionaire donors.
It’s unconscionable. Immoral. Unacceptable.
