This is quietly a very big deal

Oregon Republicans know they can't use an image of the actual (small, tame) protest in Portland to illustrate Trump's fever dream and their fake intel, so they had to make one from stock photos of South American "Policia" leaning on riot shields + what looks like Brazilian football fans with flares

[sees the Bills all white uniforms] No. Hell no. Absolutely not.

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

This is such a fun interview

This post has my full endorsement.

How do I know soccer has made it in Nashville? I'm getting IG ads for knockoff Open Cup Champions t-shirts for @nashvillesc.bsky.social WE'VE MADE IT!

Goff is the best. Adjust your bookmarks.

Amazing feeling. That was so much fun

Piss poor showing by Austin fans tonight.

A-plus. No notes.

Too dark. They're supposed to be a dark blue, but they look black.

Really good piece from our Zip Code Project by Eden Turner ...

Downtown Chicago, today. The little girl …

When I was at the Scene a decade ago, I recapped "The Private Lives of Nashville Wives" and I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever seen with the city's name on it. I may have underestimated Hollywood's ability to hit rock bottom.

You know, I respect the fact that if the Titans are going to be this godawful, they're doing it in the shortest time possible. That's all I've got.

Only by sheer volume.

Wish I was at the NashvilleSC game tonight to see this glorious TIFO in the supporters end. Amazing.

One of the greatest sounds in the SEC is when all of those cowbells go silent.

Look, I’m not saying you should drop everything to go get the rub special in lemongrass BBQ sauce at Curry Boys … but you should totally drop everything

I’m old enough to remember when war zones looked like [checks pictures] war zones

Scoop: Trump fired a U.S. Attorney in Sacramento less than six hours after she told his California border patrol chief to abide by court orders and the Constitution while conducting his immigration raids. With @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

#cosigned I demand Spurgeon be brought out of retirement, @dpatrickrodgers.bsky.social

This will be quite a match-up: Trump's personal attorney who has never tried a case vs former Chicago U.S. Attny Fitzgerald who among other things "went after the Gambino crime family, al-Qaida and even the White House in court — not to mention several Illinois politicians"

This statement is insane on multiple levels 9 months ahead of the event, not the least of which is he cites Chicago, which is not even a World Cup host.

Super interesting piece by @steveharuch.bsky.social

As noted in this morning's @nashvillebanner.bsky.social newsletter: Every category of serious crime has decreased in Nashville compared to this point last year, according to latest figures from the Metro Nashville Police Department. Homicides down 29.6 percent. nashvillebanner.com/newsletters/...

Kimmel's monologue has 9M views on YouTube in less than 12 hours. Great job by Nexstar and Sinclair keeping people from seeing that.

Bold move by a broadcast group to dare viewers to go find something online. Wonder how that's gonna work out.

Excellent illustration of the power of unseen editors, the myth of “objectivity” and the urgent need for reality-based coverage of the Trump regime. h/t @adamkeiper.com

A CDC committee further limited access to Covid vaccines. Left unclear was whether Americans could still walk into pharmacies for the shots.

Why music writers shouldn’t use AI for research. Thanks Matthew.

Seen in the wild an hour from Canada …

Contrary to Trump’s claim that “the radical left causes tremendous violence,” sociologists find that right-wing extremists account for the vast majority of attacks and deaths from domestic terrorism.

It’s been clear for months that this administration is ten times the threat to the First Amendment that “wokeism” ever was. If this doesn’t wake the fuck up all the comedy podcast bros, nothing will.

This is garbage.

What makes Bluesky different: it’s open source, so anyone can contribute to building the experience they want. And even if you build a whole new app, the protocol means you can migrate with your data, identity, and relationships intact.
