The goal was never no transgender girls in sports. It was no GIRLS in sports. The goal was to make being in sports so traumatizing for girls that they never start, therefore colleges can take the money from women's sports and give it to men instead.

I hope he doesn’t speak a word of English during the entire performance just to piss people off

reader i cackled

I don’t know anything about Bad Bunny but I am very excited that him playing at the Super Bowl will give the worst people in the world brain aneurysms

Two mass shootings by Iraq war vets in one day. People fought so hard to stop that war not just because they cared about foreigners, but because wars always, always come home.

Dylan. He’s gonna do a 19 minute murder ballad that only he, the original songwriter, and Alan Lomax had ever heard. He’ll strictly instruct the network to not put the camera on his face and he will give no interviews. bsky.app/profile/prof...

ICE is running ads targeting current police officers on local broadcast sports in Seattle. The ads basically say "are you tired of not being able to arrest immigrants cuz sanctuary city? Come work for ICE and you can profile brown people all you like. Oh we'll also give you a huge signing bonus."

Disinvite them from the tailgate. Do not go to the baby shower. Call out their bullshit on Facebook. Do not just purse your lips and nod politely. Ostracize the living shit out of them. Leave their church potluck casserole untouched. These people are extremely vulnerable to social shame.

This is a weird thing for people to focus on. If CBS initiated a report, it follows that Broadview PD have to investigate, per policy. Just standard paperwork. It's not signifying some big political shift among cops nor does it appear they are "standing up" to anything

On view at Tulane University, and it was a joy to work on this. But you don’t have to visit campus to see it. Check out the digitized collection of Black New Orleans nightlife posters, 1979-1980, newly published online via the Tulane University Digital Library: libguides.tulane.edu/BlackNightli...

Farewell to Gerry Brennan, the director for the classical division at All Music Guide during the Y2K years. I remember his oversized presence in the office quite fondly. obits.mlive.com/us/obituarie...

You can buy kazoos in bulk from Amazon or party city. We did that when the Real World was in Seattle and wanted them out of a bar or a neighborhood

Truly one of the safest places in the city.

No one’s really asking me what I think but I came away from that piece feeling like Ezra Klein thinks this is all some kind of cerebral game and TNC understands the stakes

TNC dropped the single most effective line against Klein's career as a project. "Was silence not an option?"

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

(let this also be a public service announcement to NOT TOUCH BATS especially if they are acting weird, ie letting you touch them. Rabies is a terrible way to die, and getting the series of rabies shots to stop you from dying is not super relaxing. DO NOT TOUCH BATS.)

MAGA has turned our government into a weapon against our people. No funding for fascism. No dollars for dictators. No payouts for pedophiles. No complicity in the budget.

@kalebhorton.bsky.social was such a good writer, so truthful, soulful, funny and urgent. I remember being honored when he followed me on social media. @lukeoneil47.bsky.social pays beautiful tribute to him here, w/ links to some of his great work: www.welcometohellworld.com/life-is-a-pr...

Meet PCP, the drug writing Time news alerts

Nextdoor is just 4chan for the elderly. Wall to wall people trying to tell you Trump's dick taste good

Started my day with a fascinating tour of the top 19th-century baseball pioneers buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, not far from our home. Charles Ebbets, Henry Chadwick, Jim Creighton, Jack “Death to Flying Things” Chapman, Asa Brainard and more. Author Thomas Gilbert was a tour guide

TBH there is no way to design any system to counteract an executive declaring "I have all power and can exercise it arbitrarily" when a majority of the legislative and judicial branches responds with "that's right." Such a society is too primitive for modern governance and the rule of law.

WFMU's Hellraiser Fundraiser is coming and will run through October, with DJ specials, new swag, and events throughout the month! Help us out with a donation if you can, and grab one of two new Hellraiser T-shirts. (Pictured: Jersey Devil Shirt by Alicia Berbenick.)

Something to realize is that with Trump’s Antifa EO, and rolling invasion of cities, he’s basically encouraging any accelerationist—left, right, horseshoe, black pilled lone wolf shooter type, whatever—to do something stupid and/or awful to bring about societal conflagration.

The scandal of the US government trying to whitewash Wounded Knee shouldn’t fade in a day or be triaged into silence. Please stay mindful of it if you have to space on your plate to do so

The house next door has a gigantic ancient oak in the backyard & it’s been owned by speculators & it’s just feral & every fall it’s like living under siege when the acorns start dropping & the squirrels run amok. This year seems particularly bad in terms of timing & volume.

Indie rock, we hardly knew you. Where it started and where it went. We talk with @chrisdeville.bsky.social, author of "Such Great Heights: The Complete Cultural History of the Indie Rock Explosion," on @soundopinions.bsky.social. Some spiel here: bit.ly/4gOQufk The show: bit.ly/3IIqp4G

In the midst of the Kaleb Horton tributes I want to anonymously shout out a person who ran a small online pub in the mid 10’s that actually paid writers & one of those writers was Kaleb, before he got picked up by larger publications. Was honored to write alongside him there & later at MTV News. RIP

It is, actually, if we understand what the regime is trying to do. This isn't about stopping a murderer in Utah or Dallas, it's about using individual acts of violence as cover for expansion of collective punishment of "enemies."

Oh of course it's women.

What have the Romans ever done for us!

“It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.” fuck

Kaleb Horton’s piece on the Chowchilla bus kidnapping was one of the best stories in recent years and what a goddamn shame there won’t be more like that. RIP.

« Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. »

I missed this recent Kaleb Horton piece on the end of X (the band). "Sonically, it's still Chuck Berry telling us we're all gonna die for half an hour. Still sounds like some kind of freedom." kalebhorton.ghost.io/the-last-ame...

anyone who RTs this and says "hunh, MTV had news?" gets blocked & can fuck off into the sun. Jessica Hopper and Kaleb Horton wrote for that site, among so many others: here's Kaleb's obit for Merle Haggard, now scrubbed: web.archive.org/web/20210915...

Here’s Kaleb Horton on John Prine. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Hegseth just guaranteed my kids will read about Wounded Knee as soon as the books I just ordered arrive next week.

Having just finished watching it, I agree with everything that @carynrose.bsky.social says in this great piece about the new Lilith Fair doc (and the tour more generally). PSA: the doc is awesome and if you’re in Canada you can watch it on the CBC Gem app. www.salon.com/2025/09/23/l...

The federal government is waging grey war against democratically held cities and states example 1 million.

the racists have taken over the federal government.

thank you Holly! if the Boss is your jam, you can read my deep dives into Springsteen & specifically BORN TO RUN here: www.radio-nowhere.com/tag/born-to-... - i'd love it if you subscribe but a lot of these are not behind a paywall. check it out!

“Obamacare sucks but I love the Affordable Care Act!”

The game of “go offline for a few hours, come back and try to figure out why everyone is making jokes about Amelia Earhart” is wearing me down, NGL

I didn’t know there was a U.S. stage for the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Hi, just a note— The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!
