Aside from the knock to the ever-dwindling music journalism ecosystem, I just think about what this all means for smaller and mid-tier bands. If you're not already huge, who is going to cover your album? Who is going to post about your tour? Who is going to…

“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”

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Really great swap tbh

Royals DFA’d Matt Strahm. I knew that he was slipping a bit when the Phillies traded him, but he looked absolutely washed in Kansas City.

Well, here's an exciting thing ... I have a new short essay live today on @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's excellent Welcome to Hell World: www.welcometohellworld.com/who-goes-tra...

Who goes transphobe?

by Sandy Ernest Allen It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go transphobe. By now, I think I ...

Jake Lacy has made a whole career off of being a threatening creep based off of having this face but way more handsome, and therefore less threatening and creepy

Our 2026 NFL Quarterback Tiers results are here. The panel this year consisted of 21 execs and 29 coaches overall. Each voter placed 35 veteran QBs into five tiers, from best (Tier 1) to worst (Tier 5). nyti.ms/4yYcfln

Circling back to this I know they’re all having fun and I’m the crank but man I find this shit stupid and depressing

just woke up to the Jays are buying at the deadline and Pete Crow-Armstrong thinks Babe Ruth was made-up

Those Derek Hill jerseys are gonna hit so hard at Coachella 2034

I'd think it'd really pain Mattingly to watch Bohm play 1st if I didn't think he's totally checked out of this job anyway

It's so funny that whenever Harper has hinted at willingness to return to the OF, the general consensus of those who heard him say it read the inferred text as "like, if we got Alonso or Vlad or something" not the dummy who is already at third and can't play

Moving Harper to the OF so Alec fucking Bohm can play is just insane bullshit.

Get ready to learn ꓘ buddy

Watch Arraez just strike out so many times now that he's part of the Phillies. I'd be disappointed, but not surprised.

Maybe they’ll send Bohm somewhere please oh please

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.

This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.

Another example of the problem with the fixation with Trump’s putative emotions: here a story about the Trump administration’s corruption, incompetence, and venality is framed as one about Trump’s “wrath.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

I am at the game but did not get to see this play because I am behind an extremely tall man with a very large head.

First look at murder through July (still waiting on the Texas cities) shows murder is still falling at unprecedented levels in the United States with no signs of levelling.

MAGA masculinity means declining to publicly criticize the man your daughter has accused of physical abuse, because doing so might prompt a senile 80-year-old man to write mean things about you.

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

"What actually happens if someone stands up for trans rights? Nothing cis people care about!" is the most honest self-assessment you're ever going to get.

Seerat Sohi@seeratsohi.bsky.social · last wk.

What *actually* happens if the Fever, Storm, W, PA or anyone else involved responds strongly? The organizers get what they want and peddle more "intolerant left" BS. Another week of on-court stories being overshadowed. Nobodys mind is changed. Materially, no trans person is better off.
