Rick Rubin the totally chill spiritual vibesman who parties with Diddy, invites Peter Thiel on his podcast and appears in Polymarket adverts because he just wants to inject creativity and positivity into the world

RIP David Hockney. There are infinite images I could post. Across medium, technology & time, relentless in returning the gaze to see better; colour, value, detail, mystery, wonder, joy in the world, inviting us to do so too. His life is a manifesto of what art can be. My hero

DJ Haram is currently under police investigation following comments made during a speech at the 25th Biennale of Sydney.

RIP Nate Dogg, the greatest hook man and rap-singer of all-time. Nobody did it better.

Gone 15 years ago today.

Most acting, not best acting. Terrible choice of Sean Penn for a terribly directed, misdirected performance

@somanyshrimp The hold Violent by Design had on much of the same crowd certainly supports that theory

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

@somanyshrimp I’m sure it did- just something I don’t remember being all that emphasized at the time I first remember a big ground swell reapplication among the aging Ekko bucket hat crowd. TBF tho that era had so much of that, maybe it more made it translate vs felt noteworthy?

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

@somanyshrimp You could put it in at a smoke session in the late 90s and everyone would nod and maybe you’d even get one person who didn’t know it and made you feel like a head for spinning it

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

@somanyshrimp I think it’s this- his sound is just very platonic idea of a certain kind of rap authenticity of that era but was *just* enough outside the main discourse at the time to feel surface level discoverable

[can you 👁️ me now @junkiesRpeople]

got bored and decided to program a fictional film festival with the one catch being that i can only choose from films that have rap songs named after them lol

@alshipley Ha. Always appreciate when the morally correct stance also saves me from two hours of mediocrity. I’ve dutifully watched all the previous ones but the last one was pretty rough. Happy to bow out.

@facetedcarapace Nicki Minaj landslide victory here

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

@profitofdoom999 @facetedcarapace Unfortunately I feel like MIA is genuinely very smart but just extremely misguided/delusional? Uniquely insightful/prescient about like 15% of stuff then deeply wrong about the rest. Azelia Banks phenomenon. Even more of a bummer tbh.

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

I remember the same thing RE: him suggesting he’d only serve for one term. Literally a thing HE floated as a campaign strategy but if you mentioned it after he was elected people responded like you were a delusional ageist who wanted republicans to win.

[ebonically intelligent papi 🌻 @julianakilrose]

This is small in the grand scheme but I began to see people lie about things that had happened just months prior for no reason.

I had said Biden promised to cancel student loan debt on his campaign and people were arguing me down saying he never said that. I was like oh…..

Iran has not attacked a country unprovoked in it's 5000 year old history. Israel has attacked six in one year. Who is the threat here?

@netanyahu As a Jew, I say fuck you.

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

Pitchfork convincing a new generation of hipsters that the Carter 2 and Under Construction were worth critical attention was a net positive for music not some slippery slope. And before you say no not those - there was plenty of hand wringing about both at the time

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

There’s arguably two main touchstones for the anti-pop mentality that inspired contemporary poptimism: punk, and the rock radio reaction to disco. The former was deeply indebted to 50’s/60’s radio pop and the latter a kneejerk defense of stadium acts.

[industrial streaming information logistics @somanyshrimp]

Ppl just giving away their age here. Appreciation of trash and popular culture was not invented by “poptimism” or in the 2010s

[j. goose @gooseprotocol]

It’s the same laziness that’s existed forever, made so much worse by the consolidation and then faux-organic nichification of culture- not to mention existential exhaustion. It’s become harder to branch out at the same time brands have gotten better at micro targeting
