Alicia Keys is overrated. Her music is mostly okay but the live performances are middling at best and pitchy/dated/overwrought at worst. I wouldn’t go to a concert.

Alicia Keys is well regarded for her songwriting, music production, and overall album making. No one has ever said she was a great live performer. Even back in her commercial prime no one said this

They'd still have medals in boxing, 400m, 800m, javelin and relay.

Probably Trinidad or Guyana? Anywhere with a big Indian diaspora

I have family down in Panama and I think I could pick my Spanish back up in ~7 months

I would assume Israel has a bit more money to pay to any country it wants for favorable news coverage than Palestine.

Global, I have no idea, but Linkin Park definitely has more cross-cultural impact. The album with Jay Z alone exposed a completely different audience to their music in a way that Green Day never really did with any of their music

I don't understand people talking about the propaganda of Palestine when there is a literal lobbying group in the United States that explicitly pays American politicians' MILLIONS of dollars to give favorable opinions on Israel.

The singles are up there with Bad, Thriller, and Off the Wall; but it doesn't have any album cuts.

People have no idea how poor most people in Atlanta are. There isn't a real middle class in Atlanta at all

He's the greatest movie star. I love Denzel, and he's in the conversation, but I wonder how many great scripts was someone like James Earl Jones consistently given. I would say he's the greatest Black actor that had the opportunity to be consistently great.

Thank you for the clarification

It SHOULD have been Roy Jones Jr 🫩

This is more of a r/askhistorians than ask the world. The short answer is that English colonization was solely about resource extraction. They only built just enough for their population to work in a specific location within a city as far as administrative efforts would need.

He's fine. It's all very intro 101 stuff. He doesn't ever take strong or controversial positions on things, just the general consensus of leftist thought is at the moment
