This morning at the White House...

Ebro speaks on streamers using hip hop for personal gain without being part of it: “There’s people who [are] just an internet person. You didn’t care about music…you built a fanbase and now you hustling the algorithm and using hip hop as part of the discussion” @oldmanebro

well tiny desk said no to me a couple times so I exercised free will and built my own! 'giant desk' out June 10th. 6 songs live from an office with these cool cats.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.” “I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking) “I don’t want you to ever forget this story.” “20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?” Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.” Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.” “We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.” Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
