This week marks the 20th anniversary of J Dilla's death and the release of "Donuts."

@elmattic.bsky.social went deep on the mythology, impact, and legacy of the greatest hip-hop instrumental album ever made.

we got 3 or 4 shows in the works. 3 at places we have never played and one at my favorite venue to play.

we have got lucky enough to have a poet do a short/couple minute piece before we played a couple of times, I like that a lot.

i should reach out to more local poets 🤔

I for one, really like the bass tone on these new Mclusky records.

I dunno if its because we are in the phase of winter where 25 degrees feel warm, but all I want to do is eat and sleep.

I just finished my lunch and started thinking about snacks and how much a lil nap would hit.

Going to be walking around saying “I don’t understand them…do you?” in a Futurama Nixon voice all damn day, I suspect.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, it is well known you were an Elvis man, while this old article shared elsewhere by @anniezaleski.bsky.social shows you had different thoughts of a time regarding another notable group of entertainers. Have your feelings changed either way?

This is a dude dressed like a guy you take out in a Spider-Man game when you are first learning the controls.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Confession: I have had a quiet craving for Panda Express the last couple days. I have not been to the Panda in over 10 years.

it will always be worth remembering that the tribune endorsed Gary Johnson for president in 2016, these dorks deserve no one's respect
From the Editorial Board: Kat Abughazaleh made a show of declining (sending a spokesman, for goodness sake) to be part of the editorial board’s endorsement interviews after first informing us she would attend.

The Kickstarter has exceeded their goal by so much, it appears they actually have the funds to go ahead and build Servo's Tank Rambo idea. Hopefully used to keep the people of Minnesota safe.
