D’Angelo, a legendary R&B singer who helped pioneer neo-soul, has died. He was 51.
His family wrote in a statement: “The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life…After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce that Michael D’Angelo Archer, known to his fans around the world as D’Angelo, has been called home, departing this life today, October 14th, 2025. We are saddened that he can only leave dear memories with his family, but we are eternally grateful for the legacy of extraordinarily moving music he leaves behind. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time but invite you all join us in mourning his passing while also celebrating the gift of song that he has left for the world.”

I saw a TikTok from a young woman about how she paid $1000 to go to a yacht event in Monaco and people invited her to parties on some yachts "because I was dressed to impress...you can dress to show you bring value to the yacht."

Remembering Chadwick Boseman. Forever.”
in honor of it ends with us becoming a movie, here is a thread of the worst lines from colleen hoover's books in hopes that trees will stop dying for her terrible writing:
Two young lads decided to throw 2 bricks through Hays Travel Sunderland today. Why? Seriously why? We’re a Sunderland based business who do huge amounts for the local community, dedicate nearly £1m a year to charities across the UK, we’re taking on more than 500 apprentices. Why?
