Cannot stress enough that @brooklynvegan.bsky.social has been the singular constant in my music life for literal decades now, outliving sites bigger and smaller than it. This is a fucking travesty.

“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”

I'm not a Michael Kay hater (honestly even a bit of a fan!) but I will not be mad if Ruocco keeps picking up broadcasts. Such a good call here for a pretty notable HR

I think Herman Cain's twitter account posted this exact thing when he went into the hospital

A great introduction to both Garcia Jr. and this bot

HOME RUN Luis García Jr. (24) 424 ft (19°, 109.0 mph) off George Soriano (90.0 mph Changeup, 1506 rpm) STL 6-NYY 7 (B7, 2-2, 2 outs) https://www.mlb.com/video/luis-garcia-jr-homers-24-on-a-line-drive-to-right-center-field-trent-gris-slmve9

I think this only makes sense if the Yankees feel pessimistic about Giancarlo’s return; we’ll see how everything shakes out by tomorrow. But 1B is arguably the only spot on the team not in need of an upgrade? Still, incredible bat to get

Pope Leo received singer and songwriter Patti Smith in private audience this morning. The Pope and Smith are both Chicago natives. She was accompanied by @antoniospadaro.bsky.social, undersecretary for the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education.

Going to a new gym I'm really excited about joining, and timed it with my weekly weigh-in, where I finally am back at my all time low (I had hit an annoying ~3 week plateau). Also the last ~50 pounds lost was with nearly zero exercise, so I'm excited to see where we're at by the end of the year

The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

Democratic Socialists’ bus benches remain, city mum on next steps | Port City Daily

WILMINGTON — The handmade bus benches installed by the Wilmington Democratic Socialists of America have highlighted a problem nearly everyone agrees exists: most Wave bus stops have nowhere for riders...

(niche topic warning) I've never been more vindicated about an early "oh, I get bad vibes" opinion about a person than I have been with Gia Gunn. She had fun moments on her original season, but pretty much everything since then has been somewhere between bad and actively harmful to the community

"Rather than take a yearlong sabbatical in Tuscany to write the next great novel, you call in sick two days in a row, hoping that’s enough time to get a few thousand words written. Instead, you end up writing a lengthy Instagram post on millennial malaise. It gets four likes."

instant contender for the most batshit out-of-context headline change I've seen on this account

Change in Headline

it's funny that people in the replies are making jokes about this looking like lower tier college jerseys, because for me this is basically captures the essence of what the NFL feels like to me. This is a "no touchdown celebrations" jersey. It's a "front office earnings projections deck" jersey

The Bills’ alternate uniforms are somehow worse than other alternate uniforms, all of which are bad.

I don't know how much it cost Netflix overall, but I actually dug The Hawk, and hope it gets a S2. Yes, it's Ferrell doing another spin on a character he's played dozens of times, but at the end of the day that's something I still enjoy, and the supporting cast (ESPECIALLY Fortune) are great

After jumping around a few different rewatches recently, I'm biting off a big first-time watch right now- Stargate. I'm a huge fan of written sci fi, but until The Expanse, I really disliked most TV sci fi, but I've recently gotten the itch. Starting with the movie, then following this watch order:

I just watched The Long Walk right into We Need To Talk About Kevin, or what they call the inadvertent "hey, that's a lot of dead teens" double feature

congratulations to Austin Wells on apparently becoming someone's stepdad over the All Star break

Just realized that after suffering through 4 days with no Yankees game, the next 3 games will be blacked out because they're playing the Dodgers. No one has ever been in this much pain
