The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…
she’s right and i’m glad she said it. sleeping is good.

back in the summer of 2014, i went to philadelphia to interview a rising songwriter named Alex G for Rolling Stone. that interview was print-only at the time, but it's online now: rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…
A new Nick Drake box set on his 1969 debut shows him as he really was: gifted, charming, and ahead of his time. Read our interview with the late songwriter's sister and collaborators on 'The Making of Five Leaves Left' rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

Spend all my 9-5 being told by “music people” that traditional press doesn’t matter and Clipse makes the most noise for a hip hop LP year with….traditional press lol
the clipse album is incredible. hearing pusha and malice go back and forth for an entire LP is one of the most enjoyable dynamics in music - we're lucky we got another album like this
reviewed the first album in 15+ years from one of my favorite groups ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ rollingstone.com/music/music-al…
Clipse are back. Read the interview with the duo where @andrejgee first got to listen to 'Let God Sort 'Em Out' last fall rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

By now, the waters have been thoroughly muddied with misinformation about Mamdani, much of it characterized by Islamophobic hate. Here, we debunk some of the most viral and persistent lies so far. 🔗 rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
thank you! written music journalism rules, imo
You guys have gotten a lot of us back into written music journalism and that is the most impressive thing about all of this
