One of the things that made George Michael unusual as a popstar was his activism. He was pathologically incapable of keeping his mouth shut, whether it was speaking out about apartheid, AIDS, Cool Britannia, or the Iraq War, even if it attracted mockery and abuse. He once said that his political views made him "look like somebody who’s been let out of an asylum. It’s true. Everyone around me thinks I’m my own worst enemy." But you know what, he was eerily right, a lot of the time. My new book, Tonight the Music Seems So Loud: the Meaning of George Michael is published in the summer and tickets are now available for launch events @intelligencesquared @unionchapeluk and @hayfestival. https://t.co/EdSxsCNKGM #GeorgeMichael #Wham #TTMSSL
The Afroman Trial.
-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.
This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.
We will remember Joe Biden as no friend of working people.
Instead, we will remember his loyalty to the same oligarchy and billionaires he warned us about in his farewell speech.
We say good riddance, Genocide Joe – and proclaim the struggle for a socialist horizon continues.
MSNBC now has chyrons about oligarchy, and its talking heads are hitting on how oligarchy has been building in the background the whole time. Weird, because I remember when they took offense to the word "oligarch" being used, just a few years ago, when a campaign warned of this.
I believe that TikTok should get banned purely because Vine got banned. You zoomers must too face the brutal, unforgiving circadian cycles of man that are doomed and predestined to repeat themselves. You resist like King Lear battling the raging tempest storm. Let it go my child
