And, to get academic about it, this child is quite precocious. I'd estimate her at four by appearance, when typicaly a child's synchronisation to the beat is vague at best. This kid is tighter than the adults.

Had a first listen to two acclaimed Meshell Ndegeocello albums—The World Has Made Me the Man of My Dreams (2007) and Comet, Come to Me (2014). She's a true artist. In her 33 year discography, she's really never had a creative drought. Always some fresh exploration. The well does not runs dry.

An abstract image akin to a multicolored fossil reflected in a mirror serves as the album artwork for 'The World Has Made Me the Man of My Dreams' (2007).On the cover of 'Comet, Come To Me' (2014), Meshell Ndegeocello holds her hands with splayed fingers near her face hued in theatrical shades of dark and light gray across her forehead, lightning bolt shapes following her eyebrows, a plank of gray extends to the bridge of her nose, deep purple colors her lips.

The "Sex Cymbal" music video is the most glamorous and sexy I've seen. The highlight is the primal end choreography (courtesy of Sheila's little sister Zina Escovedo) that snippets the remix. In it, Sheila sings, raps, plays, dances, produces... The woman has EARNED her stardom. No contest.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
