thanks, my dude!
shoot, aubrey o'day had stories too!
he's ... an interesting cat. i can definitely understand how he made his living as a rapper/writer, but yeah. He seems like he's had a difficult time.
One of the rappers who wrote “Bad Boy for Life” is one of many who’ve been waiting for Diddy to face a reckoning for yrs of trampling people & their careers en route to becoming a music mogul.

"These are dark days." I talked with tenured LSU journalism professor Bob Mann about why he stepped down and why Louisianans, particularly residents of child-bearing age, might be in for a world of hurt under their next governor.

It's like when your old favorite club has a shooting, or some racist incident where a security guard keeps out a group of black dudes for wearing Jordans. Yeah, we had some *great* times there but it's time to move on and find somewhere else to hang out. Guess this might be the new hangout.
In a grim bit of timing, we wrapped up Slow Burn: Becoming Justice Thomas just ahead of the Supreme Court vote gutting affirmative action in American higher education. In many ways, it's one of Thomas' crowning achievements in more than 30 years on the bench. This pod covers how he—and we—got here.
Where Clarence Thomas came from, how he rose to power, and how he’s brought the rest of us along with him, whether we like it or not.
