I guess we should just be grateful he didn’t say something on the De La record about “bitties in the Bitcoin lounge”

Never thought he’d top the baguettes are from Paris line, but…before he even gets to the Mr Cryptocurrency Scarface bit… (Pretty sure all crypto ‘keys’ come with a password? Everything comes with a password.)

There should be some kinda loyalty card, like for every Nas release when you post your hot take you get a stamp. Collect 10 stamps and you get...idk, a Nascoin or a Nas Fungible Token or 10% off the latest Illmatic reissue or whatever.

Got to wondering today: do Terminators have genitals? Do they work? Incognito search is a good look for questions like this.

It’s really amazing though, those mainstream lists of 100, there will be EXACTLY 10 rap albums and not one more or less.

As List SZN reaches its full spate, interesting to see that: 1) Mixed genre lists still keep to their quota of a maximum 10% rap music 2) Loads of stuff I never heard of that sounds pretty good 3) Wild variety and almost no consensus (except for Golliwog +/- Earl +/- Aesop)

Saw this and immediately thought of Ghost’s giant wrist bracelet thing. (Also America’s military dominance fading is a good thing, c’mon.)

Today marks 4 yrs since my friend, mentor and brillant writer Greg Tate died at the age of 64. He'd been in my city the month before but I'd blown off the chance to hang, figurin' there would be a next time --Afrodisiac: A Textual Meditation on Greg Tate https://t.co/20ghmyBMHd

This isn’t even Rembrandt’s "Two Moors" anymore

Somehow in all the dystopian sci-fi of how horrific the future will be, no one came up with “real-time maps for betting on when people will be killed in a never-ending war.” https://t.co/bk47hKLZTu

A new platform called Polyglobe is helping gamblers visualize real-time geopolitical conflicts to bet on through Polymarket.
