@JackMac You're stupid and this attitude is why you guys always suck

Grow up, be patient and give the man time to build a team. Dan Campbell went 3-13 his first year too.

[Sean Johnson 🔥 @intentionally]

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy.

But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

@bbatts523 I mean GGs! You for sure outplayed me in our sets. But I'm still easily the better player. Congrats on your win tho!

i oscillate wildly between “the average person is smarter than you think” and “the average person can be influenced by shapes and colors the same way a baby gorilla would during enrichment time”

but every 4 years it’s gorilla time for like 6 months non stop

Student activism is never perfect. You’ll always find some protestors who are ignorant or overzealous or narcissistic. They’re like 19 years old. But you also can’t wait for the perfect protest. It will never come.

I really do empathize with the difficult position of leftwing Jews who support the ceasefire but are also wounded by protestors saying ignorant or antisemitic shit like “Israelis go back to Europe.” The average US college student is probably not aware that most Israeli Jews are Mizrahi or Sephardi and not in any sense from Europe. They’re probably not aware of a lot of things, and sometimes their rhetoric is tonedeaf or worse. Those protestors should be educated and corrected.

But the central purpose of the protests is to address an urgent humanitarian crisis. Many students are bravely risking police violence to speak out. So obsessing over the occasional broken window or offensive slogan seems to me like a warped sense of priorities.

How much human knowledge has been lost to history?

Well, this ancient wonder was razed by the Mongols in 1258 — it's said the Tigris River ran black with ink.

Here's what was inside... (thread) 🧵

Hey, OJ, it's Norm. Listen, be careful about the videos you put out there. I recognize the golf course behind your house I know that exact street and could easily print your address. Of course I never would, but others would. Be careful, Juice.

I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative assistant to the President of Student Affairs that semester in the work/study program.

In early 1995, Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian (USC Alumni) walked up to my desk and said they had an appt with my boss. I was studying to be a criminal defense lawyer with a dual major in PoliSci and International Relations so I knew who they were. The meeting lasted about 30 mins.

After they left I looked at my boss like wtf was that all about!? He walked me outside and we sat by the old sprawling big tree outside Topping and my boss lit a cigarette for the first time in years and told me I had to sign an NDA because I could confirm OJ's lawyers were there for a meeting. Then he told me what the meeting was about.

Before OJ could graduate from USC, the university paid off two families of two blonde white girls that he had dated and battered. They had both gone to the LAPD to report it. One claimed he also sexually assaulted her in their relationship. The school had a vested interest in OJ going far in football and protected him at all costs. OJ had been in custody for 6 months and lawyers were in the discovery process for the trial and OJ's friend Robert Kardashian, who knew OJ from also being a student at USC, thought it would be best if those stories never saw the light of day. So a large check was written, given to my boss, and they left. I'll never forget holding that check.

Now, did you hear about this before now? Nope. That's how much power money enables.

After he was acquitted I changed my major to Philosophy/Psychology double major. I understood that I could harm society more than not if I pursued law. This is also why I abhor the Kardashians. They're rich thugs. Nothing more. #OJISDEAD

ScHoolboy Q says that streaming has devalued the art of making complete albums and artists are now incentivized to chase one-off hits:

“Streaming fkd up [making full projects], it’s like 8 versions [of every song]. You got the sped up, the acapella, you got all this sht…Like where do I start the album at? People aren’t really focused on making albums…and people don’t buy albums either. When you don’t buy albums, artists are going to play the game and rightfully so. I ain’t mad at them.”

He would go on to say that he’s worried for the younger generation who is stuck in this short form, quicker rewards model because it does not have longevity:

“They’re making some [money] but how long is it gonna last?…When you’re just recycling…a couple songs, it don’t really transfer to shows. People can’t even tour…We need the younger generation to start making albums again.”

Making full projects is one of the most important aspects of artistry in my opinion, and making a bunch of singles trying for those streams without any cohesiveness or narrative is really dangerous but as Q notes, it’s the streamers (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) and labels to blame and not necessarily the artists

While I'm glad that this resulted in getting chelly on the mic I cant help but be reminded of what I hate as a TO.

Every community problem is up to us to solve. Underpaid and overstressed but all the weight of just doing better. I wish it was spread more throughout the community

[Cody Schwab @iBDWSSBM]

I find it hilarious that every person talking about how the scene’s exclusive says so because they hold beliefs that are inherently exclusive

It’s so preposterously backwards that I think it’s all a sitcom or a big prank

Just shut the fuck up and let people live w/o harassment
