Aw, I feel like a sucker, we built a tech company in NYC and created all these jobs for *zero* billion dollars in subsidies! 🤷🏾‍♂️

What is the Prince gif that would give you away as the author of an anonymous op-ed?

Inspired by Prince's "Little Red Corvette", @StevieNicks wrote "Stand Back" & then asked him to come in & add keyboards. Listen to his part: pic.twitter.com/0Tyxv07FPA

Stevie had gotten married January 29, 1983; Prince's then-new Little Red Corvette single was on the radio & she wrote Stand Back that night.

Today, Prince’s 1999 turns 35 years old. We’re all gonna listen to it later today, okay? https://t.co/2O25y4Brz7

It’s a double album, so the timing works out.

There's a straight line from birtherism to denial of the death of thousands of innocent Americans. This is what Trumpists voted for, and what they support, and he said it plainly — those souls lost in Puerto Rico are the same people he could shoot in the middle of 5th Avenue.

I’ll take known evil over erratic & unpredictable evil any day.

A lot of very kind, thoughtful people told me they think i made a mistake tonight. I'm going to reflect on this & respond after some sleep.

After listening, it's clear I conflated personal empathy for victims of violence w/ institutional support for @NCGOP denying others rights.

That was wrong, and selfish, and it doesn't make sense to oppose political violence by supporting those attacking civil rights. I'm sorry.

This is an absolutely unacceptable doubling-down by the Economist, who are either foolishly getting exploited by providing a platform without any accountability, or are complicit in an awful agenda. https://t.co/op8vCPsO9M

As I've stated before, the Economist needs to make clear its editorial policy on what attacks it will give a platform to. https://t.co/vUF7gwB4e9

I'm on the agenda, and given their doubling-down, I'm staying on the agenda, but not for the listed topic. I'll be addressing the consistent, immoral attacks Bannon has directed against the South Asian American community, from the Economist's stage. https://t.co/hL1aUyWsQo

I’m sure one of my followers knows this answer. I’m not gonna be surprised at this point if the answer is “cold war red scare paranoia” or “it was a method of enforcing zoning biases” or “it can be traced to a ginned-up racial panic”. https://t.co/jyyb22v1n8

Thanks so much to fellow Prince fan @haydude & his colleagues at @nikebasketball for the wonderful @Timberwolves City Edition jersey. It’s 19 on the front + 99 on the back — get it? 🙏🏾💜 (And thanks to @PaisleyPark & the estate for making these happen!) pic.twitter.com/Y70tIT8BQS

Right?!

Due to that Jay Z verse today, a lot of folks are curious about the relationship between MJ & Prince. I wrote a bit about it in this thread. Short version: while the industry positioned them as rivals & they wanted to top the others' work, they undoubtedly respected each other. https://t.co/NFeoVy5E6f

That artistic rivalry often pushed each artist to do their best work. https://t.co/y2qgsqfJiG

In MJ's "Moonwalker" movie, there's a segment where they replicate the "Bad" video, but with kids. Afterward, the kid portraying Michael asks his assistant what his chimpanzee Bubbles is wearing. The answer? "A Prince t-shirt." https://t.co/hT3Af6pOsB

One of Prince’s last huge chart hits was his only one under the name of O(+> and featured a cast of women who’d responded to a print ad he placed, saying “Eligible bachelor seeks The Most Beautiful Girl in the World”. https://t.co/OU0OeqjcBs

This was the print ad that Prince placed in multiple magazines in December of '93. (This one was in @NYMag.) When the video came out, 7 women had been chosen out of the 50,000+ who'd sent in responses about why they were the most beautiful girl in the world.) pic.twitter.com/wSKPYnl9NG

Though it’s far from one of Prince’s best singles, “The Greatest Romance Ever Sold” may well be his most beautiful video, with gorgeous lighting showing Prince at his most luminous. https://t.co/KSQPKWfW3t
