Graduations are generally awful except for maybe pre-school.

Very true. It felt like 6 hour lecture more than a joyful ceremony. I actually didn't want to attend mine and instead get my diploma mailed to me. But my family insisted on attending since I was the first in my family to get a degree and I complied.

Twenty years from now, every student is going to go to the stage with a pro-wrestling gimmick and a choreographed ring walk.

Hopefully, they all choose The Ultimate Warrior so that the ceremony could be done with faster.

Old man yells at cloud.

The last graduation I went to was my daughter's HS graduation last year. Nothing abnormal happened at all.

If people are dancing on the stage, why not just share their apparent joy?
bingo.

Yup.

Though I always loved The Ultimate Warrior's entrance. Would die laughing to see every graduate shaking the dean's hand the way The Warrior shook the ropes before stepping into the ring.

Powerful video though I'm wondering how the audio-only edit will work.

Childish Gambino reminds me a bit of Tommy Wiseau.

I think it's genius because it's openly mocking and deriding the very people praising it but I might be in the minority.

This is pretty funny imo. Fans of both seem to hate it.

Oh man, why Grimes?

Elon Musk is losing his ****ing mind. He went off Jeff Skilling style on an analyst call last week; Tesla is burning through cash at a staggering rate, not helped by the idiotic Solar City merger he jammed through, was recently downgraded to junk, and is completely ****ed.

I actually just found out yesterday that the smoking hot British host in Westworld is his ex wife. Huh.
05-07-2018 , 07:47 PM
Holy crap at that story about Schneiderman. What the **** is wrong with people?

I find this genuinely entertaining.

Grimes looks like a Ferengi. The hottest ferengi ever. But still.

The anti-abortion crowd should have a lot of fun with this.

No matter what tragedies we go through, we dance through them. It’s both a coping mechanism and a shame. I think Donald is saying that the things we do to be able to deal with this world also don’t allow us to fully comprehend what is happening to and around us. Whether we’re doing the Gwara Gwara, the shoki, the wop or the Nae Nae, around the diaspora, we move because maybe we’re afraid that if we stop, so does our fight. Whether we’re in post-apartheid South Africa or Trump’s America, we are constantly presented with enemies we wanna A-town stomp away.

In what I see as an indictment to hip hop and new rap, Gambino dances with all the might he can muster, with a fake smile plastered to his face as he raps “Look how I’m geeking out/ I’m so fitted / I’m on Gucci / I’m so pretty.”

As he’s doing all of this, the place around him is literally burning in chaos. There’s a car on fire, there’s protests, there’s cops chasing people. And all he can muster in that moment is to talk about designers and what he looks like.
DRAG FOLKS THEN, DONALD. DRAG US FOR FILTH!

Black joy is a form of resistance in a world that loves Black pain but where is the room for the fight if we want to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil?

Tesla jumped $8 a share on news that Elon was dating some really weird singer? Makes as much sense as most market news I guess.

When NPR does music reviews that calls for instantly changing the station. Listening to someone review or analyze music is the third most horrible sound behind a baby crying and someone talking about their dream.
05-07-2018 , 09:58 PM
Those are video/performance art reviews though. Music reviews are uniquely terrible.
