    pardon me, but why is this a uplifting news? i vaguely know about zohran, so i guess part of reason is that you are hopeful in him, but this is not really a news, or particularly uplifting (i am guessing the person is happier making stuff), but that is in a media kind of sense. I am not deleting this post, maybe there is stuff i do not know, but prima facie, this is not.

      Speaking as someone who lives in the US but is currently terrified of what’s happening:

      This gives a lot of people hope to see collaboration between a very public, very vocal progressive candidate; and a band with as much recognition and the kind of fanbase that Wu Tang has.

      It means this is potentially lightning in a bottle. Given what’s happening in the US right now, I think a lot of people might consider this uplifting, even though I agree it’s a bit of a square peg round hole moment for this community at the moment.

      It does promise something greater than the article lets on though.

        You could post a simple picture of Mamdani and I’d consider it uplifting. He’s not only inspiring in speech, he’s inspiring in listening.

            or maybe i do not listen to stuff in that language, or live in regions where they are famous

              Wu-Tang transcends language and region.

                    i don’t understand this either. i’ve only heard the name wu-tang as a joke ever since the 90’s, it just was never a thing here. it seems extremely us-centric. i also can’t keep up with the slang at all and that means the tone is impenetrable.
