For 'Sly Lives,' Questlove asked artists 'the most frightening question.' Watch him discuss that in our Pass the Remote panel about the film.

“My first memory in life is Sly Stone.”

Thank you to filmmaker/EP Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson & producer Joseph Patel for an excellent Q&A after our sold out free screening of SLY LIVES! (AKA THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS) (2025) over the weekend during ‘This Is Not a Fiction.’

Saw this fantastic documentary today, and, like everything my boy @jazzbeezy.bsky.social touches, it's marvelous. He produced it, and Questlove directed, just like "Summer of Soul."

Thanks for the sweet shoutout, Jazzbo. Love you always. You too, Exo and Kimson. XO
This new Sly Stone documentary is so much more than a piece of music history or a biographical portrait of a musical icon.

Watch it. It's so in touch with what's going on in the US and the world right now.

"Sly Lives! has a not dissimilar mission, because Hall of Fame or no Hall of Fame, the man born Sylvester Stewart in 1943 has all but outlived what legend he had, and as Thompson sets out to prove, that’s not right."

Remember: every time you read about a new Broadway box office record, it’s not because they added more seats to a theatre. It’s because the prices are higher than before.

for the one millionth time, the dept of education just monitors access to education. civil rights, title ix, disabilities, making sure everybody gets a fair opportunity.

this is not about curriculum. states design those standards. this is an attack on the idea of fairness in education.
if a senile old man can wave his little marker and say the department of education is gone we don’t really live in anything remotely like a democracy do we

Adolescence on Netflix is as good as everyone says it is. And technically mind-blowing how it's shot.
