As someone who taught Sunday school for over a decade, it's always amusing to me how the people most vocal about religion are often the least educated about it.

Today is the last day to register to vote in California for this unexpected election! #YesOn50 registertovote.ca.gov

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I was listening to 'Voodoo' last week and holy shit 25 years later that album is still e v e r y t h i n g. Rest in power, King. www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip...

but Say Now babes why are we buying our conditioner at the supermarket that’s what an Ulta is for ?

While technically true, this is only possible in the streaming era and mostly significant because of how Billboard started weighing plays on paid vs free streamers. So until this the 2020s, no other artists could have done this. But still... congrats to the Showgirl!

Every day is Indigenous People’s Day.

doesn’t seem right that a member of the First Wives Club would die before a VIP member of the Epstein Island Club😒

How the hell can he even see what’s happening on the streets of SF from way up in his tacky ass tower? (Or from his colonizer castle in Hawaii?)

There are many things that are wrong and unjust about the streaming music economy but on any given Friday, I also get giddy at how many new albums I get to listen to. Teenage me would never believe we'd have such a bounty at our fingertips 🎧

'The Life of a Showgirl' could be one of those Taylor Swift albums that people who don't think they're Taylor Swift fans will listen to and realize they were wrong.

Hegseth’s “no fat generals” pep talk reminds me of a place I used to work where I was told by a superior that I needed to “get in shape” while the CEO was in far worse shape than I was.

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is. Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

We are no longer at a “tipping point” or “an inflection point.” We are no longer “sliding” toward autocracy. Donald Trump no longer “aspires” to be an autocrat. Last week, Trump went full-bore authoritarian. The United States currently is not a functional democracy. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Good week for Kneecap. Yesterday, they were announced as part of Primavera Sound 2026, on the lineup between Role Model and Mac DeMarco. Today, this…

Watch this against the backdrop of the regime’s meticulous efforts to vilify the political left after the shooting at the ICE facility in Dallas:

There are few fascists as infuriating as the MAGAgays.

I'm surprised we're not making more of a meal out of the fact that Brendan Carr's wife Machalagh Carr, a former staffer for ex-GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy, is currently head of global policy at Peter Thiel's Palantir.

When Madonna inked a 360 deal with Live Nation it was hailed as sign that record labels and perhaps even records were over. Major artists (Beyoncé, Kylie, Taylor) did move away from typical album release cycles. But moment is over. Madonna is back on Warner. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Nexstar is a big player but their ABC affiliates are a fraction of the network’s stations. (Their channels in major markets NY/LA/SF broadcast the CW.) Given the negligible impact of losing Kimmel in towns like Harrisburg or Richmond, Disney’s capitulation here is 👀 variety.com/2025/tv/news...
