BrooklynVegan survived the music blog wars of the 00s, only to be taken down by Live Nation. They were a real one.

“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”

At least in Saudi they pay you a king's ransom. Mo is down bad...

The Dodgers traded prospects for Skubal. Any team could've. They used spending not throttled by a cap: player scouting and development. Since salary/quality aren't as correlated in baseball as in other sports, a cap isn't a competitive balance panacea. Support the players. Don't buy the MLB FUD.

Intolerance of inclusion is not the same as the intolerance of exclusion, which is not the same as tolerance of exclusion. False equivalence really shouldn't be that hard to understand, so either she's not very bright, or she's a disingenuous fuck.

Speaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn

Ah yes, an album I own in three formats: CD, vinyl, and cassette

American Thighs is available too but (among people I know well) @bidetofevil.wtf has priority there

This would never happen because a movie where Jackie Chan *wants* to get back to his wife is too implausible.

egg nog fan@wimble.bsky.social · 5d ago

They should have made The Odyssey in Hong Kong in the 90s directed by Lau Kar-leung starring Jackie Chan where he has sick martial arts fights with the Cyclops and Circe and all them

I oscillate between groaning about the lovers of the Wilson piece and groaning about the haters. This discourse is truly cursed because some people think there are objective truths about art.

Why is Jared Leto there?

Trump can’t help himself when it comes to bragging about his scams. In case, you’re wondering where Mitch McConnell is 😵

Who else is here for the hot take that Pablo Honey kind of sucks?

The zoomer belief that The New Abnormal is the best Strokes album is even more egregious than the young millennial belief that In Rainbows is the best Radiohead album

Spin up DeepSeek and ask if anything important happened on June 4th, 1989.

This is … an interesting take on AI in China

FIFA is not a for-profit organization. It doesn't have shareholders. It's not its mandate to maximize profits. Its job is to be the guardian of football. So why the hell are they acting like they were private equity?? (Rhetorical question)

Gee, an author not liking a movie adaptation. That's never happened before!

I was worried that this would be corny, but it's not? I can count the number of authors I've read more than Gibson on one hand: jack this right into my veins.

You'd be surprised how many lefty white ppl who are relatively well informed don't know what tankies are, especially in the modern context. Are so of them that? Who's to say...

Niao Collective@niaocollective.bsky.social · 2w ago

Tankie-ism is people who don't read history scream at others to read theory, which they also don't read.

Not paying £8 to watch a friendly when I've already bought a season's pass on iFollow. Trying to ring that out of fans is really unsavoury to me. Like, how much revenue can that possibly be? #WatfordFC

Some things you just have to know. Like Jake's Cake episode of Paw Patrol is in Season 4, and that's on Netflix and not Prime Video. Even at 3:30AM when you should be sleeping.

He's just creating a buying opportunity. Meme stocks don't depend on silly things like cashflow.

Tesla down -15% today on a disappointing quarter while SpaceX is down -50% from its peak. Even Elon can’t fool all the people all the time.

Is it a hot take to say Argentina played worse today than Brazil did in the 2014 final?

For all that is right in the world please win, Spain!

Simeone is such a rat bastard

Playing Otamendi for an entire half in 2026 and winning will be the definition of "getting away with it"

Technically, they're rap songs. Little known fact: "bars" come from "bards" like Travis Scott.

Do I really think in my heart of hearts that Luton supporters are scum? Yes.

Lani 🏳️‍⚧️@laniodeary.bsky.social · 2w ago

I do worry that we are losing the ability to be petty haters. It's important to sports for people to be haters for haters sake—not on a basis subject to reason. The pettiness is also key. Haterism doesn't mean hatred, it's campy. It's fundamentally goofy to be a hater of a team no matter what

We're all Spain aren't we?

The Brits have a phrase for this: proper basketball match

Watching the Odyssey again tonight, this time in IMAX. This is the movie that will pit the Film Bros against incel dorks with no taste, exposing the latter's utterly disingenuous and nonsensical criticisms for what they are. It's like shouting DEI at Shohei: like, we have eyes, you numpties.

The research done by @tammyeverts.com about rules of thumb for good perf not being universal is on the web only, but I bet my bottom dollar that the same holds for mobile: that if your perf targets, ceiling or floor, are not based on your specific app and user base, you might want to reassess.
