The Batallón’s legacy lives on in Los San Patricios, the Mexico City Gaelic Athletic Association club, who sport these amazing jerseys

He’s such a Chicago Pope that he’s even channeling Michael Mann cinema energy

The soccer is going great, thanks

I tried to add Len Chandler's "Move on Over" to my Instagram post today and it wouldn't let me, so why don't you listen to it here?

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Sad if expected news out of the US Supreme Court this morning. Solidarity and love to all trans people, and their allies, fighting for rights and recognition in the US right now.

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

my face when I'm reading the news every day

Saw Disclosure Day and all I can say is it’s like if the director of Indiana Jones made a quasi-philosophical movie about aliens being real.

Disallowed in the end but unreal effort by Ian to even be in the game there on his own, honestly

This is part 2 of Big Dad Energy summer, following last month’s monster truck rally.

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty stoked about going to WRESTLEFEST III tonight, put on by the local pro wrestling league. Not least because they’re leaning into the props for this one. (“TABLES. LADDERS. CHAIRS.”)

The belief that country music is not and has never been the purview of any one person is foundational to what we've tried to do for 22 years, and we strive to elevate the work of diverse artists around here every day. To recognize Juneteenth, a thread to highlight some essential black artists:

A comb carved from a moose antler by a Haudenosaunee (likely Seneca) artist in the 17th century. One of the figures is in European dress, perhaps depicting diplomacy. Sky Woman, who fell to the earth in the creation story, was born after her mother straightened her father's hair with a comb.

It seems both hilarious and totally apt that Australians are most highly concentrated in Fort Lauderdale while for Kiwis it’s Vancouver, WA.

Smokey the Bear had nothing on BC’s old forest fire awareness campaigns.

False. I don’t care how smart this bee is, nobody can solve a chimpanzee.

(A) incredible and (B) an excuse to post this

Backrooms (2026)

A warts-and-all biopic of George Orwell. India, Eton, Burma, Paris, London, Spain, the BBC years, Jura, the works.

This is a pretty wild disclaimer to read at the top of a document called "Report on the State of Scholarship in the Humanities and the Humanistic Social Sciences." In other words, if this would not pass peer-review, why has it been released?

Great stuff on the one-string guitar, AKA diddley bow! youtu.be/rFtP7Xc_Fbo?...

“sir idris” is one ”i” away from being a palindrome. A missed opportunity, is all I’m saying. Congrats tho

“Books exist to impose dreams of stability and order on the processes of reading and writing that are attached to them….” Wonderful essay on books, libraries, and what we lose when we turn away from knowledge slowly won, by @seeshespeak.bsky.social

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

I love that this tiny subset of men, for whom The Odyssey is one of a very few specific types of movie they can picture themselves enjoying, has committed themselves to hating it.

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

I just watched Interview with the Vampire for the first time and let me just say that we used to make movies in this country.* *not THIS this country, but you know what I mean

So this won an award for best news writing and honestly fuck yeah it was a labour of love www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

106 years ago today, on May 7th, an undergraduate at Christchurch College, Oxford, drank a glass of port then left through the main gates for a walk. I've been thinking about him, & his walk, for years now. It's taken a long time for me to figure out why - why I've kept returning, near obsessed.

Using the rules of linear perspective to combat ai slop can I get a hell yeah

Signs and wonders, eh? Pity if there is nothing wonderful in signs, and significant in wonders!

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

We're doing a project on public infrastructure for music in Canada and doing a final call for musicians to participate in a survey on musicmaking at this particular moment. If you'd like to do this, please email me at: [email protected]. Or pls share with others who may be!

I’ve owned this Canadian prog-rock opus on vinyl for a few years but am only just digging into it now. When Geddy Lee’s guest vocals hit on “Battle Scar” it was so Canadian that it automatically renewed my passport (but charged me GST for it ☹️)

Amid all the MJ biopic furor, I figured I should watch Leaving Neverland if I’m even considering watching Michael. I am halfway through the four hour stretch and I don’t know if I can finish it. Horrific testament to his monstrosity, and damning indictment of our collective indifference.
