Okay, let me start a new #HouseMusic thread.

First thing's first: I need to post a few junts by the legendary Ron Carroll, who passed away two Sundays ago. RIP!

Here's a classic soulful track with Hardsoul:

People always said it was foul that this was the role that got Denzel the Oscar but this is evidence that he more than deserved it.

He legit just pardoned the president of Honduras for drug trafficking but now Maduro is going to stand trial for “narco terrorism.” This all makes a lot of sense and definitely isn’t about oil.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

rubio pretty much believes in a reverse domino theory for latin america and since he is effectively running foreign policy in the region i would expect him to see cuba as his next target
And I don’t want to sound conspiratorial, but if they feel like they can do this in Venezuela without any serious consequences, they’re absolutely going to try it in Cuba too.

I’m glad they are flat out arguing now that we should stop seeking quality, sophisticated results from these things, and just get used to the lackluster garbage they are peddling

What trash providers they are

I love this book, which is why I acquired it for @starsandsabers.bsky.social. It's got @cornellwriter.bsky.social's effervescent prose, @theahmedraafat.bsky.social's delightful interior illustrations, and @kiwifruitbird.bsky.social's marvelous cover. Small package, big romance and sci-fi.

AI companies hire (and by hire, I mean often exploit) “red teamers:” people whose job it is to prompt AI to see if they can produce offensive and immoral content. This happened because—and only because—the owner doesn’t give a shit.

Also, is he still subpoena’d to testify about that island pedo?

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

In case y’all don’t know, Goddard Space Flight Center is in Prince George’s County, MD.

Again, this administration is doing its best to erase the gains Black folks have made in the DC Metro Area since the seventies.
“The shutdown of the library at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., is part of a larger reorganization under the Trump administration that includes the closure of 13 buildings and more than 100 science and engineering laboratories… by March 2026.”

Of course, I’m generally not a fan of type casting, but if they type cast the young lady who plays Lucas’ little sister for the rest of her life I’m…..cool with it.
