Good news, everyone: After one scary week without him, Teddy Swims's "Lose Control" returns to the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100

I spent Saturday watching a bad football movie ("Him") and Sunday watching bad football (the Giants game). Maybe I should get into hockey. Or gardening.

"The Paper" is trying to split the difference between "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation," I'm not sure yet if it works. It's a surprisingly difficult tightrope to walk

Amydog wants you to know that she is cute

This is just abysmal writing. I read it several times and he doesn't articulate what the principle actually is. The closest is "the purpose is to give cultural institutions a reason or an excuse to row back toward the great American middle," which is not really a "principle"

The movie "Him" uses real-life footage of Marlon Wayans at red carpet events for montages showing what a celebrity his character is. A lot of films do this but in this one you can see very clearly in the background that they're using clips from the premiere of "Fifty Shades of Black."

Let's see what's popular on Hulu right now

Only a true punk legend could have written the best Clash *and* Hüsker Dü songs.

Really astonishing to me that corporate America looked at Trump's re-election and decided that conservatism would be profitable for the foreseeable future

Nicest thing I can say about this cover image is that it does basically look like the album sounds

Kathy Bates had a sitcom on Netflix where she was running a pot dispensary in L.A. called "Disjointed"

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

never post

According to Prime Video's auto-generated subtitles, Leo the MGM lion's roar translates to "Love it."

Don't look it up but trust me you do not want "reminds me of Big Lurch" written about a crime.

No charges yet, but boy that d4vd situation is not getting any better... this might be truly the most gruesome crime a famous musician has ever committed, the only ones I can think of that beat it are Spade Cooley, Big Lurch and (allegedly) Jerry Lee Lewis

Not to excuse Disney's actions -- which are an unconscionable capitulation and an abandonment of first amendment principles -- but I think people just genuinely do not understand how much power affiliates wield in the broadcast TV game. Still! To this day!

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

If you spent even one second of the last decade indulging the free speech claims made by the American right in earnest, I genuinely think you're lacking in intelligence. I do not think you have what it takes to deliver sound commentary on American politics.

excited for this trend to continue when 30 years from now Nick Fuentes takes a principled stance against the policies of President Triple Hitler, a clone containing the souls of three Hitlers in a single body

I don't know if you've heard of this D4vd guy but he had a top 40 hit a couple years ago called "Romantic Homicide"

Get ready for AI generated jokes about Taylor Swift everyone

She said this during her last pregnancy and she ended up calling off a lot of dates

If you just accept that Bush sucks, the first two albums are good. But they suck.

"Tomorrow" and "Comedown" back to back, rough stretch for '90s alternative

Br(y/i)an Johnsons, ranked 1. Brian Johnson, lead singer of AC/DC 10/10 2. Brian Johnson, the Liver King 1/10 3. Bryan Johnson, rich freak experimenting on himself: 0/10

I am going to watch all the television

Few people know that when Horst Wessel was murdered, his assassin Albrecht Höhler had written "no soap radio" on the bullet casings

MEATBOMB!

"Mystical Magical" is a good song for 25 seconds

Sam Gellaitry ft. Toro y Moi - "Curious" (2025) Man, I wanna karaoke with Toro y Moi, that sounds awesome h/t @augetoffmygold.bsky.social

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

What do you mean "joined," I saw a trailer for this movie a month ago

I talk about this a little in the last Song vs. Song but there was this crazy moment in 2003 where Mandy Moore, needing to distinguish herself from the other pop starlets of the time, decided her thing was going to be just having insanely good taste in music www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDva...

Favorite songs of 2020 that rhyme "rock star" and "cop car": 1: BLACKSTARKIDS, "Britney Bitch" 2. Morgan Wallen, "Livin' the Dream" 3) Da Baby ft. Roddy Ricch, "Rockstar"

Finally found out what a labubu is, Jesus Christ they're hideous

There probably is no genre of book or film I enjoy more than "deadly game show," and "The Long Walk" might be my favorite yet, for the simple reason that the "game" fucking sucks

On the Emmys right now, Reba McEntire is performing the Golden Girls theme

We're about to experience the first modern recession caused substantially, and perhaps primarily, by racism.

RUSS COOKIN UP SPAGHETTI AND MOONBALLS

There were two very successful, well-reviewed superhero blockbuster movies this summer and I haven't heard a single person menton them once since a week after they came out. Are we in different times or am I just hanging around different people now

With regard to the events of the last week, I'll note anecdotally that I saw far more vicious comments on Threads than here, and neither of them were a patch on what I saw on Reddit, which suggests to me Bluesky is just a convenient punching bag for the right, blame-wise. This is not news.

I cannot express to you enough how completely in the dark conservatives are about literally everything about the world. My cousin posted on Facebook how smart and well-informed he was because he listens to Joe Rogan

There are no five-digit numbers where the second digit is 2

Ed Sheeran - "A Little More" (2025) Known karaoke fan Ed Sheeran gets his second entry on this account of an avatar doing karaoke to one of his songs (Rupert Grint instead of a puppet this time) h/t @alcartoonist.bsky.social

Best animal in Sabrina's "Manchild" video?

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Boy, the investigator in this cable miniseries sure has a lot of problems going on in their personal life

I personally love spending two days after every shooting terrified that the perp will be sufficiently marginalized to kick off the Day of the Rope
