It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

I’ve never watched a single episode of Euphoria and I’ve been grieving what happens in the finale for the last few days.
valid to criticise but honestly I think it's worse: I think he is lying. I think he got into politics because he exposed himself to public comment on Twitter and kept getting his ass kicked in every post I think he's scapegoating her now to reframe his choices as acts of conviction for his family

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

Really super fucking rude of Noah Kahan to write an entire album about my relationship with my dad.
Feels flippant to use the term Streisand Effect here, but that's what happened. Japan ensured a statue very few people would've seen and even fewer would've understood won't be put up, and instead people all over the world are going to read about their system of sexual slavery during WWII.
