Yep it is definitely coercive control when you hear a phrase you do not like
Just a remarkable choice, this headline. No other leader of any other country in the history of the UN would get that headline after giving an address with that quote.
That was Breanna Stewart's first technical foul since 2017, her second year in the league
The Liberty doesn’t have a Big 3. It’s just Stewie and JJ.
My spirit is being crushed by persistent insomnia--anyone have any good remedies?--but watching Ed Sheeran get ripped apart for both sides stance on Palestine is greatly helping my mood.
I just got quoted $600 (!) for bringing my dog into the vet to check on a cough. My vet clinic is owned by private equity as are the rest of the clinics in my area.

Excellent piece on Jen Sey's rightwing grift, which includes quotes from her son. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The woman profiting off the WNBA's trans panic
Sophie Cunningham set off a firestorm. Jennifer Sey was ready to capitalize.

The Times describes this as an "influencer operation" but it kinda just seems like ... Mamdani is popular? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/n...
The U.S. Open makes airport food seem reasonably priced.
This review is spot on. Raygun and Sammy have an odd blend of myopia and naiveté. I'm not sure if it's me being a gym rat, but she was not even remotely training hard enough for any sport. Her defense that women are quick to criticize women is wrong. This is about palpable talent and athleticism.

This article was fantastic. So much criticism of Raygun is mired in weird conspiracy, so it is nice to see a well balanced article that poses a good critique while being accurate and not cruel.

The Raygun documentary ducks a big question about the Olympic fame of a ‘dorky white academic’
A new Netflix documentary finds warmth and humor in Rachael Gunn’s Olympic ordeal but sidesteps the larger questions raised by her viral fame

Last time these two goofballs will meet for the foreseeable future.
I took my mom to the salon for some 86th birthday primping and when she complained about some minor discomfort in the washing chair, I reminded her of what she used to tell me as a child: Beauty is pain.

The oil money lurking behind the WNBA outrage
XX-XY Athletics has an interesting paper trail.

Take time to remember her, but also to listen to her music. Dolly became such a towering and beloved pop culture figure in her later years just for her sheer force of personality and charm that people too often forget that she is one of the best American songwriters. Period.
if there’s a point to fame it’s to do what dolly parton did in the world
I’ve lost track of the number of times an immigrant has told me they had to sit on a prison bus in the back of an airport for six, 10, 20 hours with no food or water and being told to urinate in a corner or onto themselves.
XX-XY Athletics is a hate movement masquerading as an apparel company.
Sometimes you make yourself an excellent egg salad sandwich and that just changes the day.
