This is what the DMV underground sounded like over 10 years ago 💽

Artists like Mike of Doom, Rezt & Iceberg Jettson were pushing the 30Whop movement and creating a sound that felt completely unique to the area

I was lucky enough to witness some of it firsthand 🧵

My guess: at 83, they gave his family a gang of money (they throw tens of millions left&right) he wanted the income stream4them& feels like "AI" will fall on its face anyway, so he doesnt give a fuck

If that's not the case, extrafuck him. Separately, go see I Love Boosters today

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Boots Riley believes his new movie, ‘I Love Boosters,’ in theaters today, is his best work yet.

Each of his previous projects, ‘Sorry to Bother You’ and ‘I'm a Virgo,’ chronicles a character’s awakening to their exploitation by powerful global forces — and the freedom they find through collective struggle. ‘I Love Boosters,’ about a crew of Bay Area retail thieves subsisting on the margins of the fashion industry, capitalism, and at times reality itself, fits squarely within that tradition.

But it’s also because Riley spent more than three decades sharpening his artistic and political point of view before going pro as a filmmaker. In the early 1980s, he was a teenage communist organizing farmworkers in California’s Central Valley and he rose to prominence in the 1990s as part of the left-wing rap group the Coup. In spite of these heady inputs, Riley’s work rarely feels didactic, in part because it is as rich with eye-popping visuals and off-kilter jokes as it is with politics. “No matter how didactic they say my stuff is, let them accuse it of not being fun,” Riley says.
