Nah. He sold his soul and died in ignominy. That's the legacy. That's the lesson. Don't soft pedal it. Bye, Felicia.

I hope as they get their bearings, #NolanWells' family will reconsider the team around them. Specifically, #BenCrump came to fame through Treyvon Martin's case, which he lost. He has attached himself to every similar case since with unimpressive results. Biggest name doesn't = best representation.
They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.
BREAKING: Protesters DROWNED OUT Hegseth, Miller, and Blanche so completely that they couldn't finish their speeches at Washington DC ceremony. They came to Washington DC’s Malcolm X Park to give themselves a pat on the back. They left humiliated. DEMOCRATS Take notes ! This is how YOU FIGHT !
For the #4thOfJuly, I celebrate the revolutionary patriotism of Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions' soul class, "This is My Country" in #SongsOfFreedom in @theriffmedia.bsky.social #music #culture #society @rollingstone.com @pitchfork.com medium.com/the-riff/son...

Every time the MAGA Supreme Court expands presidential power, the writing on the wall gets clearer. They don't intend for us to have another free election, or they would never risk handing a President Ocasio-Cortez this much autonomy in 2 years.
Let’s check in on how Jared and Ivanka’s luxury Albanian resort is doing…
When we're hosting cage fights at the White House, we're no longer trying to hide our American Idiocy. #GreenDay tried to warn us. I look back at #AmericanIdiot in the second edition of #SongsOfFreedom in @theriffmedia.bsky.social #music #culture #resistance #2000s medium.com/the-riff/son...

This was a fascinating NBA playoffs in that the best team in the league didn't win, a team that got hot at the right time did. We've seen that a number of times in the NFL. Very rarely in the NBA. The last time was probably the Lakers in the bubble year, but that was the upside down.
This is why people hate Swifties? How exactly did Taylor Swift, attending her first Knicks game ever, and taking at least two seats that could have been occupied by life long fans rally the Knicks to victory?
I've been a part of @theriffmedia.bsky.social 's Album of the Month Discussions for about 4 of its 5 years. A great look back from The Riff's Executive Editor, @kevinalexander.bsky.social. We're open to all, so feel free to join us, Blusky Crew!

Anyone else start out rooting for the Knicks, but now pulling for the Spurs because of MAGA's racist/xenophobic attacks on Wemby and Dolan inviting Trump to disrupt Monday's game? #NBAFinals
I hope Wemby drops 50 in a route and glares right at Trump.
Whose dumbass idea was it to put Trump’s bitch ass on the Jumbotron during the national anthem knowing full well the whole arena would boo.The poor singer probably had no idea why boos were suddenly raining down.
30 years ago, #MichaelJackson released 2026's most resonant protest song. I explore "They Don't Care About Us" in the inaugural edition of #SongsOfFreedom on @theriffmedia.bsky.social #music #Michael @rollingstone.com @pitchfork.com @avclub.com @nytimes.com medium.com/the-riff/son...

Definitely and interesting team, probably a disaster in reality, but the app has them at a 58-24 Contender I just went 58-24, think you can go 82-0? Play 82-0: www.82-0.com/share?id=hnl...
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 2mo agoFor my NBA fans: This game is very addictive. Build your team and see if you can go 82-0.

Mark F 🏴⚽@markfreemymind.bsky.social · 2mo ago#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge Day 28: a song with a repeated word Crème de la crème by Evalyn English language song with a non-English language title. Luckily, eating all those orange cremes has taught that "crème" means cream, even though I don't understand German 🤔🙄🎶
So with #BretMichaels and #YoungMC pulling out of Trump's "Freedom 250" Klan rally, the only two "performers" publicly willing to confirm participation are: Vanilla Ice Fab from Milli Vanilli Yeah, that seems about right. "All the best people...."
