I would have posted "Don't look at Quincy Jones! Quincy Jones can't help you!" but this works, too.

Making a real effort to completely leave Twitter for BlueSky for the sake of my sanity, though it will probably take a while

The Morehouse College Man in me is saddened at the loss of Dr. Willie Sheftall '64 but seeing that he passed away on Monday at the age of 80, essentially pulling a Quincy Jones, I ain't mad at it.

See, the election wasn’t about “political” differences. It was about moral differences. That’s why I won’t talk to you.

I've come to realize it *is* really nice to talk about the weather

I'm Day Dreaming now until 6pm PST at KMHD Jazz Radio 89.1 KMHD.org

Music is art not sports. Music is art not sports. Music is art not sports. None of this matters. Abolish statistics-based fandom.

When that five piece nugget stopped being $1, I should have known something was up

I'm finding it hilarious that one of the contenders on my year-end album list showed up on my radar two days ago because it was playing (uncredited!) in a TikTok one of my leftist friends posted on his Instagram Stories.

Prepare for Scaramucci to function as a measurement of time again

I've been slowly importing all my tweets to the account elsewhere. It's the same name as this but without the "_". I've already stopped simulposting here and there for weeks now, only liking things and following the last couple stragglers until they wise up, too (please).
