What are you doing with your Monday night? I’m at The Eaton in D.C. watching GZA play chess against all comers.

#WuTangChess
Hey @JenShahade @MauriceAshley, not bad for a Monday chess night, huh?
One of the coolest things about this is how @TheRealGZA is obviously taking his time in playing with folks who are novices. Classy, patient, and friendly. It’s a great vibe here. And plenty of free drinks. 😂🍹
Okay, met @TheRealGZA. The man is a mensch. We briefly talked chess, and he gave me his secret @chesscom handle. 😂💜

It was August 17th, 2015—a typical, hot Monday morning—when I heard booming music outside the bedroom window of my apartment. It sounded like it was coming from RFK Stadium, which was just up the street on the east side of Washington, D.C.

(thread)
I was entering the final year of undergrad and needed a break from getting my class schedule in order and filing G.I. Bill benefits and looking at grad schools, so I decided to take a walk and locate the source of the revelry.
As I got closer to RFK, I saw what appeared to be a stage and a small contingent of security officers keeping watch and no more than a hundred or so people dancing away the hot, late morning.

Turn on your TV.

LeBron James is 8 points away from breaking the NBA's all-time career scoring record.

We will probably never see this again in our lifetime.
Six points away.
Four points away.

I reviewed "80 for Brady" for @metroweekly.

Did I trash Tom Brady? Of course.

metroweekly.com/2023/02/80-for…
@metroweekly "Is the premise compelling? No. Is the writing good? Not really. Most of the jokes land with all the skill of a cocaine-fueled elephant swan diving into an empty pool, and even for a comedy, the dialogue sometimes has about as much charm as gargling broken glass."
"None of these critiques matter. Here are four big reasons: Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field. I love these women. I worship these women. I aspire to be these women. And when these women are involved in any project, I know I’m going to have a fun time."

Lived here for 15 years. Love D.C. restaurants. The District has great food. Anyone who claims otherwise isn't looking very hard and, related, probably calls it "Reagan" instead of "National".
D.C. has great food for anyone who doesn't think sparkling water is spicy.
D.C. has great food for anyone who pronounces "jalapeños" correctly.

FL Governor Ron DeSantis shocked political observers this morning at a press conference where he announced a statewide ban on Pink Floyd, the English progressive rock group generally considered by popular music critics to be one of the most influential bands of all-time. (thread)
The stunning move came less than a week after controversy erupted in response to the release of their 50th anniversary album logo for The Dark Side of the Moon, the group’s magnum opus.
The logo prominently features a rainbow, harkening back to the original album cover that depicts light being shone through a glass prism and then dispersing into a spectrum of color. Because physics.

In an exclusive interview with Associated Press reporter Nicole Winfield, published this morning, Pope Francis said homosexuality should not be a crime and called upon all countries with such laws—67 of them in total—to decriminalize. (thread)
There are currently three majority-Catholic countries that criminalize homosexuality: Burundi, Kiribati, and Saint Lucia. There are also a few countries with a substantial Catholic population that criminalize homosexuality, Rwanda (49.5%) being the most prominent in this group.
Francis was intentional about making a distinction between homosexuality being a “sin”—which he believes it to be—and being a criminal act, which he believes it should not be.
