Notes (20)
What the Trump administration is showing us is that the President has enormous power in the bully pulpit.
After Trump, we'd likely have a corporate Democrat as president; one that will say he can't accomplish anything cause of the parliamentarian and the supreme court. 🤦🏾♂️
Intifada is a word he never used but if Zhoran is made to condemn that word, the next time they'd ask him to condemn the words Free Palestine. They'd keep moving the goal post.
If it's true that Mamdani cannot achieve any of the things he is campaigning on, then why are millionaires panicking the most?

There are lots of highop tracks that has little to no drums but still captures the vibe of what real hiphop should sound like. I respect such production ingenuity.
Hiphop artists, especially the older ones, should have more of such embedded in their albums.
Don't despair if a corporate Democrat wins more often in Ranked choice voting than a more progressive candidate.
The flip side is that it would encourage lots of states to adopt it thinking it wouldn't make a difference, and that's when the difference will come.
Lupe Fiasco's "Samurai" owned 2024.
So far, it's looking like Little Simz's "Lotus" owns this year.
Of course there is still time for someone else to do better. Nas is dropping with Dj Premier, so who knows what would happen?
Usman won and I'm happy for him but he should seriously consider retiring now. At this high level, all that's left in his game is takedowns. Future opponents are well versed at defending takedowns.
I'm speaking from the perspective of a casual so maybe take this with a grain of salt.
People tend to forget that Israel has nuclear weapons.
It's hypocritical to have nuclear weapons and then try to prevent another from acquiring it.
Get rid of your nukes and then you'd be righteous in your pursuit of ensuring that Iran gets rid of theirs.
Reason why Nas is my favorite rapper, is that his albums tend to touch my soul in undescribable ways. Lauryn Hill too.
Another rapper that does it for me is Little Simz.
It's like high quality art work that 'breathes' differently each time, and she's the most consistent.
Honorable mention; Common.
Why I prefer Bluesky to other major networks is that it doesn't feel noisy. That noise can bring with it addiction.
I'm sorry but the Little Simz Lotus is growing on me way faster than I thought it would. It's treating me like shallow water.
On first few listens, I gave it a good 8/10 but now I'm beginning to think I might take it way higher than that.
Give it time to break in, or break open. 😎
I'm more curious about those who are mean on the surface but kind on the inside. They just have walls up.

Giving Little Simz new album 8/10 and Lil Wayne's new album a 3/10 but I fear that I may be overrating the Wayne album. Only time would tell but I won't be revisiting for that to happen.
Here is some Ice Cream. 😎

Brilliant move by Samsung. We've all hated Bixby but this partnership could be what makes people embrace it.
I tend to prefer Perplexity over Gemini as an assistant. One of the things missing is the ability to use a wake word. That's where I think Bixby will come in

Non-scientific and this shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone.
I've been thinking about how planets and stars are so far away that those which could host life require faster-than-light travel, something humans can't do.
But what if our souls could? What if that's how we got here? 🤔
