Important update: When Snoop's debut album came out, I thought "Murder Was The Case" was corny. Now I think it's one of the better songs he's done.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Here, it's a summer Thursday. So let's ask: What's the best hip-hop track in history?
Every American should have a strong opinion about this.
Not enough KRS responses (1); perfect number of Tupac responses (0).
Seeing them perform this on "In Living Color" was a defining moment in my life.
It's still amazing.

Trump's Manchester rally was all over the place, with a weird rock-star entrance in which he didn't enter and a speech so rambling that he had to rush through it at the end to get it done.

And his fans couldn't have cared less. wapo.st/2HaL2n4
As for the speech, here's how it flowed. wapo.st/2HaL2n4
I videotaped the AC/DC intro and @RiegerReport added closed-captions that are extremely funny to me.

In 1999, Orange County was the only California county in which a majority of registered voters belonged to the GOP. As of this week, it has more Democrats than Republicans. wapo.st/2KlXiTP
Note that the ten counties in which the Dems and GOP gained the most advantage since 1999 were ones in which one party eroded while the other stayed flat. wapo.st/2KlXiTP
So why's California so blue? Well, let's scale those charts by county population. wapo.st/2KlXiTP

The Post's story on Sayoc. Will be updated with more from inside the courthouse. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Sayoc spoke in the court room and addressed the messages he posted online prior to the bombing.

"Now that I am a sober man, I know I was a sick man," he said. "I should have listened to my mother, the love of my life."
Sayoc's attorney claimed that he "slowly became deranged" by political news he saw, some of which was fake. He saw himself and Trump as mutually targeted, his attorneys claimed, rolling negative responses to his van's messaging into his paranoia.

@HARRISFAULKNER here's how you fact check @KamalaHarris on whether she was the 2nd class integrated in Berkley CA. This 1963 Berkley High Yearbook pre-dates the lie she told last night and it looks pretty integrated to me. Harris was born in 1964
And the same can be seen here in the Berkeley 1964 yearbook the year Harris was born. Already integrated.
Harris’ parents, a professor and a researcher, attended graduate school in Berkeley where the family lived. But when they divorced, the then-seven-year-old Harris moved to Canada with her mother where she attended grade school and high school.

While basically everything is wrong with Giles Fraser's idiotic piece, one bit that got lost in the middle of all the sexism and nostalgia-wanking was his misunderstanding of the modern workplace.
He writes about people changing jobs regularly as if it's been created by demand, entirely driven by arrogant digital nomads, who don't want any ties and think they're citizens of the world.
This is pretty common. Treating the gig economy like it's grown out of a desire by people to avoid being tied down.

A friend claimed I was spreading "fake news" about Kamala Harris listening to Snoop and Tupac before either of them were out

So...
➡️ The interview:
➡️ Harris's bar admission date: members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Licensee/D…
➡️ Tupac's first album: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2Pacalyps…
(Snoop's first album came out a couple years after Tupac, in 1993)

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doggystyle
Argue it's a non-story, argue it doesn't matter amid all the other reasons she [is | isn't] qualified to be President, but let's not pretend she didn't say exactly what she said 🙃

-- au where sirius plays and his mates are in a band, remus drags lily to their concert, and everyone gets more than they bargained for
meet the band!

james and sirius sing, sirius plays guitar, james plays bass guitar, pete plays drums.

they're preparing for their first tour after their new album has hit the charts.

(... the display names were a prank.)
meet remus and lily, bisexual besties since sixth form.
remus, the bloody hipster, has stanned the marauders ever since their debut album came out, but lily has yet to be converted...

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)
