Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

Probably the song I've danced to the most times over my entire life.

I love when Uncle Robert gets salty on the internet.

A reminder that cities used to have terrible air quality like we have today on a regular basis and the current administration continues to actively dismantle the protections and regulations that cleaned that up.

hey, remember: don't eat anything and don't breathe

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

Note to self: savour the process, don’t endgame. The end is always the same - six feet underground. It’s how you get there that matters.

I am not a climate scientist but when I was a kid the number of times we couldn’t go outside because of Canadian wildfire smoke was zero times

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

Describe your favorite musical as boring as possible: A couple goes into business making pies.

Eric Clapton's biggest contribution to music was being enough of an asshole that an entire festival of actually good music was arranged specifically to tell him to fuck off.

amc is trying to sell a trojan horse popcorn bucket and man i ain’t fallin for that

It's ugly and rotten-hearted to speak ill of the dead if they were a powerful politician who pushed constantly for war and misery. It's perfectly fine to speak ill of the dead if they were some nobody immigrant who was near a cop.

RIP Dave Kendall, who treated the Smiths' breakup like the death of a president. youtu.be/sYInKIth25Y?...

For someone who lived just out of range of the "cool" radio stations, 120 Minutes was a real lifeline. Even during the school year when I couldn't stay up til midnight, the VCR would be set and I'd be watching right after school on Monday. RIP and thanks, Dave.

What?! No way!

Wildfire smoke got the center of the solar system showing up like something's wrong with the camera lens. Source of all life on the planet looking like a plastic pumpkin light.

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

I wonder how much work "non-urgent" is doing here

”abolish ICE“ means (1) abolishing a particular agency and (2) salting the earth so that nothing that does what it does can ever emerge again—no matter what it‘s called or who is in charge of it.

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

Happy 5th anniversary to my favorite-ever, most relatable professional baseball quote: “if you always feel miserable, it offers a sort of consistency.” @jrfegan.soxmachine.com

Remember: you either die a hero or live long enough to (check notes) still die a hero because people are too spineless to acknowledge what a piece of shit you were because of misplaced notions of civility.

I thought the Spanische Hofreitschule would be fancier.

Aaaaaaaaagh!! 😭

politicians want everyone to speak well of terrible people who died because many of them are terrible people who will die

Interesting to see McConnell honoring the ancient pharaoh's tradition of taking your pet along with you to the afterlife

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Waking up to realize there is at least one Etsy witch out there who has both great power and terrible aim.

Don’t live your life so that when you die people say “oh I was hoping it’d be the other guy, but I’ll take it”

Now that Lindsey Graham is dead . . . South Carolinian Stephen Colbert has the potential to do the funniest thing

hearing lindsey graham got his head stuck in a honey jar and as he was struggling to pull it off he stepped on a roller skate and slid across the room where he fell out a third story window and into a hippopotamus pit

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

Brooklyn craft beer packaging goes hard

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

My house isn't messy, that's just quality environmental storytelling.

American cheese, mustard, relish, fritos

I, for one, welcome our new gay baseball overlords.

Yo lets get into womens baseball

The hottest team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox, have brought their record for the season up to a scorching level of...normal bad.
