The Dead Thread 2024

"Reports of my death have been exaggerated."

Kind of a fucking weird April Fools joke... 🐢

Not if you’re a crypto scammer. It’s niche and wholesome enough of a topic to make people naive. Why would fake the death of a tortoise? I questioned if it was an April Fools joke when I first heard about it yesterday, but then some other media picked up on it, and again, what an odd topic. Though in some ways that makes it the perfect April Fools.

Me too, because it has no aspect of what makes an April Fools' Day joke good. (1) It wasn't a "gotcha!," (2) It wasn't slap yourself in the head "I shoulda known, I'm an idiot", and (3) It wasn't funny in retrospect.

Just mean and stupid, like the times.

Got it. So these people send say fake alerts that your child was rushed to the hospital for, you know, a joke.

That tracks.

In retrospect, cracking down on elementary school beat downs was probably a mistake. Kids like this used to be corrected by the community.
 
One of the founding trio, with DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash. Also a founder of Universal Zulu Nation, which was at least good-adjacent during a very bad time for NYC and the soil for Tribe, KRS-One, Rakim, Public Enemy, and a bunch more.

The art and the man are separate. At least they better be or we lose about half of all great art.

So yeah, screw him, but god bless the music and activism.
