i think about this all the time

In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.

“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”

The world needed few things less than more Ted Lasso. But if the revival, with Ted coaching Richmond's new women's team, is thoroughly unnecessary, it's also pretty good.

The New Season of Ted Lasso Is Actually … Good?

The previous season was a disaster. The surprise new one might actually make you “believe” again.

This is kindergarten logic. “We like it when it our athletes take a stand for a good cause, yet we don’t like it when they’re bigots or crackpots?” Uh, yes?

Aaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: married people, and single people who can only legally have sex one night a year

what’s the over/under on how many minutes into One Might Only they make the joke about how there’s one night a year when single people can have sex and married people don’t have it at all

Some clever wordplay would be the way to honor him but unfortunately this just fucking sucks. If you don’t know Trashcan Sinatras, put on Cake. You will know in one point five seconds if it’s right for you, and if it is, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Fuck. pitchfork.com/story/trashc...

the function of social media is to prove that the thing that annoys you personally also annoys one other person, because *then* it's worth writing about

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · yesterday

As a writer I try to remember that the fact that something annoys me personally does not necessarily make that thing important enough to write about

"Son, there ain't no one day a year when single people can have sex no more." "There was one?"

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

One sign of the rise of male supremacy and the decline in women’s status is the ubiquity of online porn lingo in casual speech.

Samantha Morton says she hasn’t had any work since filming ‘THE ODYSSEY’. “I’ve got really good agents & a manager, but at the end of the day, I’m 49. I do believe I’m a good actor, [but] there are other good actors out there.” (Source: @joshuahorowitz.bsky.social)

"While attorneys for the Trump Organization, led by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have alleged Capital One closed more than 300 Trump-linked accounts in 2021 over politics, lawyers for the defendants wrote... that the financial institution closed the accounts “for anti-money laundering” reasons."

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 5d ago

Something I think that underlies a lot of debates within the Democratic party and center-left right now is whether or not you think Trumpism has been successful as a political and ideological project. (Not, obviously, whether it's been good or not).
