RIP BeatKing, the club Godzilla, who struck the perfect balance between Three 6, Screw & Swishahouse - a colorful, hyper-quotable, Houston original, always filthy & hilarious & bringing the heaviest bass imaginable.
Every strip club needs to have a moment of silence tonight.

Journalism is endangered. Local news & cultural analysis are becoming extinct in real-time. The oligarchs, machines & scavengers are winning.
The LA Times is a civic treasure & bulwark against the corruption & dysfunction of LA politics.
Existentially saddened by today's news.
L.A. Times began laying off at least 115 people in the newsroom beginning today in an effort to stem deep financial losses. Many cherished colleagues - including some with years of service - are being forced to say good-bye. @latimes latimes.com/entertainment-arβ¦

The epitome of doom scrolling is checking to see which of my favorite reporters lost their jobs today. We take local news for granted. Itβs disappearing before our eyes.
Really sad, disturbing day for all of Los Angeles.

I can't believe I have to spend the rest of my life feeling nostalgic for when there were more than three websites.

Shocked and saddened by the Pitchfork news like everyone else. Solidarity to my friends & colleagues over there who were helping to keep this weird and important tradition afloat against the constantly rising red tide.
What a senseless decision in a senseless time.

A perfect example of how corporate media brain is completely out of touch with the worlds + audiences they are supposed to serve. Devastated that this the fate of the most influential music publication in the world. Sending love to the Pitchfork staff.
