When legendary producer Madlib creates and voices an imaginary friend who materializes as a furry, yellow, cigarette-smoking, pig-snouted aardvark and proceeds to converse with it for an hour on his 2000 record “The Unseen,” it’s pretty sick.
It’s textbook topical burnout, the same phenomenon that I felt at the end of high school, when I realized that I couldn’t stomach one more thousand-page fantasy epic.

We can’t keep having marches that lead to nothing. We need to draw from a model of radical change that presents a framework for solutions.
How do you stop yourself from crying when you think about graduation? Also, how many tickets do we get?
