HI EVERYONE! I wrote about The Materials Show, a big materials acquisition event for the Activewear Industry, and also the future of clothing in the face of IMPENDING CLIMATE AND PLASTIC CONSUMPTION APOCALYPSE for @defector.com! defector.com/the-future-o...

As everyone has said but it's still worth saying again: this is incredible from Collier. Holy moly.

This guy slays me.

Five companies—five—now control 90% of the media marketplace. And they are showing no commitment to anything resembling the public interest. Courage in the face of governmental power is barely present. Consolidation into behemoths with interests beyond just media now rule. trib.al/KmD3q2R

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Well don't I feel stupid

@minakimes.bsky.social speaks for all Seattle Mariners fans. So accurate. 🔱 #TridentsUp

Raleigh vs. Judge what is this a North Carolina gerrymandering lawsuit?

That’s right Ken

My "I'm Not the Antichrist" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

MUST SEE: The ending of this Mariners vs. Astros game is WILD 👀

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

in MLB dot com write ups of Roberto Clemente Award nominees, Liam Hendriks' work with LGBTQ+ organizations was referenced in 2022, 2023, and 2024. there is no mention of it in this year's write up. www.mlb.com/news/roberto... (previous years can be found changing "2025" in the url slug)

I think the school phone bans are good. But politicians, journalists, and activists who are only focused on thumbs up / thumbs down takes on childhood “screens” are intentionally unprepared to deal with the complex and sometimes dangerous cultures kids actually interact with online.

How are you, an adult man in the year 2025, writing this shit www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

UC Berkeley has given the Trump administration the names of 160 students, faculty, and staff as part of an investigation into antisemitism on campus. One of them is Judith Butler. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Read Another Book, Stewie!!!

pretty wild that it so quickly became normalized that immigrants don’t have even basic free speech rights www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

I can't believe Bill Simmons called Pablo Torre a fake journalist and since then he's destroyed the evil NFL union leaders and is currently dropping Steve Ballmer in a volcano All-timer run happening right now

to the extent that certain people are now being held out as harmless and well-meaning conservatives who just wanted to debate ideas, I’d counter that the right-wing “ideas” that “trans people should be eradicated and school shootings are the price of freedom” aren’t really “debate” material

this is just my personal pet peeve but it sucks to feel bad all the time and i am not into it

I encourage people to watch this video. The selected footage shows the professor doing nothing even slightly out of line, whereas the student misinterprets the law and hopes to impose her religious beliefs on the material. Administrators caving to this is terrifying.

The friend who witnessed Michael Brown’s death was shot and killed Sunday morning less than a mile away from where a police officer killed Brown.

Indeed. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

I'm quoted in this piece, and so is @bachynski.bsky.social's excellent book! Worth a read on the latest in helmets. www.theverge.com/design/77177...

Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office

wow, the Oakland B's really took a heel turn!

ICYMI (and you may have, because this website did not exist when I wrote it), I also took a look at the sketchy math behind the Clippers arena's net-zero emissions claim. You could tell it was a scam long before Kawhi Leonard put a shovel in the ground. unstatable.substack.com/p/a-zero-net...

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

on the day doris burke’s demotion gets announced. cool cool cool cool cool cool co

He's literally become Don Quixote.

Truly, a great book.

A great op-ed about football and gender equity in the Los Angeles Times today by Michael Messner, author of THE HIGH SCHOOL: www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... @mam52.bsky.social

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.
