I love that someone wrote a detailed synopsis of the Find a Way music video for the song's wikipedia page

The video starts to Alicante, Spain in outer space, with a wide view of Earth that is later revealed to be a decoration in Ali Shaheed Muhammad's car. Ali spots three girls, and Q-Tip decides to flirt with all three. A scene of Alicante appears and shows the group walking on the beach while Phife Dawg is rapping. Next, the scene changes to a party, showing Q-Tip experiencing a romantic moment. From there, the video shifts to an art museum where Q-Tip is talking to his girl. The video then returns to Phife Dawg on the beach, telling a girl that he will do what she wants. The video ends with the group in a club, dancing with women and having fun. During the final chorus, the video pans once again to outer space, then shows the group sleeping in Ali's car. There is an iconic sing-along style bouncing ball each time the chorus plays.

Some of it is out of his control, I think. The actors with the most success post-GOT are those who were killed off when the show was still good.

I hate that I still remember the first administration’s officials. Remember Scott Pruitt? I don’t want to, but apparently I can’t forget.

In 2009 in Greenpoint my neighbor had a New Year’s party and her ex boyfriend got really drunk and violent. I had to walk 1 block to the 94th precinct on Meserole and literally drag the officers down Lorimer St.

The last time I saw block the box enforcement in NYC was in 2008. That same year I also saw a window tint checkpoint on Bedford Ave. That was the last time I ever saw an NYPD officer do their job.

One of the highlights of college was a unit on Hogarth in a course on 18th century English lit. Truly the Stan Kelly of his day.

So the NY Times had no push notification on the Iranian missile attack that Trump is raging about, but they’ve sent 2 about Fauci that frame him as scandalized.

He should wear a fedora like old timey newsmen. One with safari flaps in the back, so he doesn’t get sunburned while reporting.
