    The video, but it’s more a campaign ad than a discussion:

    https://youtu.be/yPbtARzHHHw

    It’s cool to see a nationally recognizable politician legitimately geek out meeting celebs tho. Biden hanging out with Clooney was such a bad look, because they were both so used to it.

    This was humanizing for Mamdani, and rather than just say he’s great, all the celebs made it about what he can do to fix shit.

    It’s the opposite of tone deaf.

      These were the dicks who sold the only copy of an album for $2m to a pharma bro. It’s a bit tone deaf.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_Shaolin

        It’s a lot more interesting than that.

        It’s a commentary on the financial aspect of art, and how traditional art can’t be shared with everyone for free, but music can.

        There’s an 88 year clock before the owner can sell copies, and they’re not supposed to give out duplicates. But since the date of purchase the owner, and only the owner, can release it publicly for free.

        Either it’s for everyone for free, or one person for an exorbitant amount of money that’s clearly not worth the price.

        It’s some deep shit, not everyone is going to get it.

      The whole wu tang slang comes from their neighborhood in NY. Shaolin is their name for staten island.

        How anyone doesn’t know this is incredible. I’d argue Wu tang are the most famous New Yorkers when it comes to music

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
