- Today I learned that Pusha T and Stevie Wonder have the same birthday. There’s a joke about keys here but I haven’t figured it out yet.
- Cassie is on the stand recounting her time w/ Diddy and the updates are incredibly hard to digest. The now infamous CNN footage of the physical abuse at the hotel was *DURING A FREAKOFF.* (Hence her exiting w/o shoes and Diddy running in a towel.) She tried to leave before it was over.
- Happy 75th birthday to a one of one. None before him, none to come. @jackhamilton.bsky.social wrote this ode back in 2016 and it remains evergreen. Long story short? Stevie Wonder is the best to ever do it. slate.com/cover_story/2016/12/the-greatest-creative-run-in-the-history-of-pop-music.html
- In 2016, @slate.com created a package called Wonder Week (16 pieces total) for no other reason than to give Stevie Wonder his flowers while he can still smell them. As we celebrate him on his 75th trip around the sun, we also examine what made him such a visionary. slate.com/culture/wonder-week
