The only Epstein controversy is the president of the United States won’t release the Epstein files because he raped children. Full. Stop.

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

And suddenly the Epstein files are not in the news.

As a wily veteran hater, I hate to do this but I give this list the thumbs up.

Refused are fucking dead. The legendary Swedish punk band performed for the last time in their Umeå hometown tonight.

If you keep discovering new music, you don’t die.

Also read the Compact piece about DEI and white millennial men. I'm a professional-class, white, millennial man and have never experienced the things they're complaining about. It's not DEI that got them. It's the consolidation of capital, death of labor power, and the 2008 financial collapse.

Like once a week I see someone on the subway with, like, a $10,000 Leica hanging around their neck or an Hermes shopping bag on their arm and I am continually amazed by how difficult it is to get robbed in this city

wokeness will come back in a way no one is ready for. they got one year of anti-woke culture and they’re seeing it’s cancerous

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Today’s web is fragmented, paywalled & dominated by a few powerful platforms. Some of the internet’s founders & current leaders discuss how it can still be saved: “a game with many winners.” More ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2025/11/10/i... #Wayback1T

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

The Celtics will just never not own Embiid, huh

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

A good week to remember to appreciate Maxwell, who doesn't neatly fit into a reclusive enigma narrative but has a discography of five flawless albums, a reliably killer live show and makes every album worth a nine-year wait. One of the best, ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tCy...

LGBTQIA+ is rebranding as LGBTQIA MAX

I played "Wipeout" too fast and paid the price on the drum solo. Rookie mistake.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

A record where 'this is one of the best LP sides ever?" is matched by "no, *this* one is"

The 2024 Little Richard documentary, I Am Everything, is currently streaming on C4 in the UK. Ignore the usual talking heads who appear at the start as this is excellent. Particularly good on the "queer" subculture of the American South. youtu.be/4YC8WUrWtZY?...

The flaw in everyone who makes a Bluesky bad post is that they come to the conclusion that making the site better involves importing people with centrist politics to talk politics when the actual truthful answer is that we need less politics and more goofs but that’s difficult when the world sucks
