Welcome to June.

Don't stay too long where you know your time has expired. Don't chase the distractions or force the thirsty horse to drink the water when your obligation was simply to lead it to the river.

Give yourself grace but don't be afraid to recognize your excuses.

No, I'm Not Just Anti-Netanyahu, I'm Anti-Zionist

Pro-Israel no more

"I also believe that Israel and the major Israel lobby organizations — AIPAC, the ADL, the AJC, and the broader “Stand With Israel” infrastructure — have undermined the safety of American Jews by loudly insisting that Jews everywhere are politically and morally identified with a state many Americans increasingly view with horror. Identifying Jews collectively with Israel risks turning Jews into proxies for the actions of a foreign state. In practice, it fuels antisemitism rather than combating it."

The quiet thrill of not being for everyone

The power of refusing to perform

"These moments feel uncomfortable initially, but something interesting happens: your body starts telling you before your brain does that peace exists where performance used to live. Each time you choose authenticity over accommodation, you're rewiring your stress responses. The nervous system learns that social disapproval isn't existential threat."

New album, 'Experimental Rap' out this Friday May 21, 2026

This is why you don't title your album ICEMAN right now.

Trump's WH staff tweaks Drake's album cover, which features Drake's hand (wearing Michael Jakcson's glitter glove which the Canadian Pop rapper purchased), to work as a "fun" promo for MAGA.

No new diss songs needed, Drake defeats himself better than anyone else could.
