I feel pretty good about my first three hour show today. Now to get through four more of these marathons this week.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be producing three hours of radio a (week)day. Three years ago, I was making three hours of radio a week, and one of those hours was partially an echo of the other two or vice versa. Times have certainly changed.

For John Coltrane's centennial birthday, we dug up our conversation with Bennie Maupin from the KMHD archives and let Blaire Stapp put it in motion with animated wizardry.

It's apparent this week has tired me out because I just forgot the name of my radio show and defaulted to saying my old show's name from my old station as my mind just blanked and I rushed to kill the mic.

I honestly don't know. I probably should have written a book by now, but I imagine 20-year-old me wouldn't be all that surprised at my flying by the seat of my pants into the life I lead.

I am fascinating by the ongoing Ed Sheeran story and the way it strikes right at the heart of the fading viability of "Oh, I don't do politics."

"Unc" being perceived as an insult instead of the honoric it has always been amongst Black folk is yet another sign of white colonization of AAVE.

Here's Collider's amazing interview with Lanterns writer Vanessa Baden Kelley, explaining exactly why Sunday's episode, featuring a bold, unapologetically Black version of John Stewart's origin story, was so meticulously crafted. READ: loom.ly/2Knw6Gc

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

I have not been 43 for a very long time, but one thing I remember vividly is that the collective delusion that "some of us look 25" lasts exactly until the moment that an actual 25-year-old enters the room.

“No, we stole that term from you Black folk. And now it’s ours, because we use it. We use it to mean that the concerns and perspectives of you Black folk are annoying or wrong or dangerous, as a way of ignoring and dismissing those concerns and perspectives. Like I’m doing now—does that make sense?”

If asked "how's it going?" or "how're you doing?", if the response is "alright", never dad joke retort with "only alright?". I'm making a point of answering back with "I just said all was right. Was that somehow insufficient?" You made it weird, I'm just rubbing your face in the situation you made.

This is, of course, the only real response to that expression. "Just like that" is the reflex response to "when I move, you move" in the same way you're supposed to respond to "God is good" with "all the time".
