Laughing quietly as you follow the thing destroying all in its way. & then it turns and sees you. [Poem by Sam Pink]

The message a disappointingly large segment of Americans need to absorb…but won’t before it’s too late.

DoJ releases its Tulsa race massacre report over 100 years after initial review DoJ report acknowledges attack ‘was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence’

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

Babyyyy, I would have dropped to my knees. That's so funny 💀

Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. “would put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

Yesterday I was reminded of how amazing and vital the film community is. It can be so discouraging as a creative to not have a community but building one is crucial! Super s/o to @sheistyler.bsky.social @kyraknox.bsky.social for consistently being DOPE humans and creatives!🤎

This is giving me an unreasonable amount of joy.

In a response several hours after the news broke, a UMG rep told Variety: “The suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue. We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotional campaigns. No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.“

UMG, which distributes Drake's music, made a statement:

I’ve told y’all for 13 years Drake act like the white woman that raised him. Suing your label because you got smoked in a rap beef cements my point

Drake has initiated legal action against Universal Music Group and Spotify over allegations that the two companies conspired to artificially inflate the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” In a filing Monday (Nov. 25) in Manhattan court, Drake’s Frozen Moments LLC accused UMG of launching an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to pump up Lamar’s song — a track that savagely attacked Drake amid an ongoing feud between the two stars.

Drake’s attorneys accuse UMG of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the federal “RICO” statute often used in criminal cases against organized crime. They also allege deceptive business practices and false advertising under New York state law. The court filings are a remarkable twist in the high-profile beef between the two stars, which saw Drake and Kendrick exchange stinging diss tracks over a period of months earlier this year. That such a dispute would spill into business litigation seemed almost unthinkable in the world of hip-hop.
