@KamalaHarris You were phenomenal. Amerikkka on brand like a mug is all.

My heart is full today—full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

@naima It does sort of feel like we are hanging out at mar a Lago, victims of elons algo

Also, I'm wrapping up my time on X this week. I'll talk more about that later

Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman "And I need you more than I want you." C'mon, nobody writes like that anymore... That line slays me every time. Absolutely gorgeous songwriting.

Thanks Jeff Lawson for buying the Onion so we could get this great zoom in on electoral coverage. No other news source has gone to this level of detail.

Quincy Jones’ album “Gula Matari” is a bold fusion of jazz, funk, and African rhythms. Each piece pushes boundaries, with soaring solos and lush grooves. A 1970 classic that still inspires. Rest In Peace Q! #Jazz #QuincyJones #MusicInnovation #RIPQ

Shirley Chisholm rightly predicted that… before a woman would become President of the United States, we’d need to see a woman become Vice President first. I know she’s looking down just tickled that it’s about to be the same woman. 💅🏽

R.I.P. Quincy Jones, March 14, 1933 — November 3, 2024. Here he is in the studio with Herbie Hancock in 1984.

#OnThisDay in 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to Congress. The Brooklyn, New York native represented New York’s 12th congressional district for 7 terms from 1969 to 1983. Learn more on our Searchable Museum: s.si.edu/4fyX1sq.

If you attended a predominantly Black kindergarten, middle school, or high school in the early 1990s, there is a large chance that your class sang “Tomorrow” at graduation. The nostalgia. 🥹 There is very little in American music that has been untouched by Quincy Jones. RIP. 💔
