In a Facebook letter posted late Tuesday night, Kid Cudi shared with fans that he was checking himself into rehab to learn the skills needed to tackle depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. 

"I am not at peace," he wrote. "My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it ... Its time I fix me. I'm nervous but I'mma get through this."

Since published, Twitter users have rallied around the rapper. Amidst the prayers and thoughts being sent his way, the hashtag #YouGoodMan appeared to reduce stigma around discussing mental health issues in the black community.  Read more...

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
