An opportune time to remind yall media and journalism scholars that there isn’t much scholarship out there on The Onion and I would love a pitch for a monograph or edited collection on the subject…

This story has a quote from me that was completely made up. I reported that to the website who did — absolutely nothing. Beware! #Memesita www.memesita.com/donna-jean-g...

Breaking WaPo: The Trump Justice Department is now demanding all ballots from the 2024 election in the Detroit area — a highly unusual move that comes shortly after prosecutors seized 2020 ballots in Georgia and obtained 2020 election records in Arizona.

Chaya Raichik, the owner of the Libs of TikTok account has moved on from harassing Senator O’Flynn & is now targeting an Irish priest, who went semi viral after he misspoke earlier this week. Now the priest’s name, phone number and address are being circulated online. This is incredibly dangerous

Roses are red I like to sin

Since it's #NationalLibraryWeek, I am going to share a cool library thing every day. Today, I am sharing "Reading Room" a project by Elizabeth Felicella, a photographer, who passed away way too early last year at 58 years old. urbanomnibus.net/2014/11/read...

Pretty frustrating that the New York Times is crediting AP with uncovering the existence of Aadam’s archive when I reported on it 15 months prior. chicagoreader.com/music/gossip...

I also want to add: the acoustics at Hill are phenomenal so $20 for this performance in these seats was an absolute bargain. Don’t sleep on the mezzanine! And UMS sends tips on cheap parking

I was going to go to this and it’s a good thing I didn’t bc I would have booed him so loud I would have been thrown out

Note to Democrats: Stop punching left. The left is fighting mad and the words we use are "Fuck ICE" and "IMPEACH" and "SHUT IT ALL DOWN." Maybe you'd get somewhere if you used those words, too.

I went to Ann Arbor today to see all of Philip Glass’ etudes performed by 10 different pianists & even in the 2d to the last row of the mezzanine at Hill Auditorium, it was amazing. They’re keeping the livestream up for a couple of days: www.youtube.com/live/e5VUO7a...

There’s so much significance to the “New York’s [descriptor] but it’s usually something that’s a more aggressive term so I am always so touched that he keeps calling the kids “new York’s cutest”. It’s so smart

This is amazing.

Much of this story details that the Irish government provides stopover status for SU deportation flights, underlining that the US govt relies on other govts to facilitate its immigration enforcement

Seven years.

WDET is broadcasting the first radio interview with the White Striped right now & Ann Delisi just announced that the 5 songs they played that day will be released today as a one sided record & available only at Third Man Cass Corridor as a fundraiser for DET. There are 2500 copies. Go get em

Small business tyrants want the state to assure they have a highly exploitable, easily disposable workforce to maximize their profits and keep their faulty precarious ventures afloat in a system destined to consume them—and the assurance of a non-citizen status is how to do that.

💥 Hegseth goes to a white Christian Nationalist church in DC on Sundays. (Seriously, his pastor Doug Wilson said slavery was built on mutual affection.) Come on Fri, 4/24 to lobby the senate for a war powers resolution. Stay to scream at Pete on Sunday. 💅

it's really wild how people online just say things that they teach you first day of catholic school or or that you can see on the holy see's webpage

Amazon sells alarm doorstops and I never travel without it and I always use it no matter how fancy the hotel is. There are also hacks about using coat hangers that flight attendants post on eBay but i want something loud enough to wake everyone on the floor

I’m at Peter Wolf’s unsurprisingly sold out show in Detroit & I’ve already watched multiple men recite a section of the Wolf’s onstage patter by heart. It’s gonna be a night.

In honor of both Merle Haggard's 4/6 birthday, and also the tenth anniversary of his death, I picked a dozen 21st c. covers of Haggard songs for Good Country. (Think of this as a companion to the 20th c.-only list I did last week for No Fences Review, link to that one in this one)

FYI: Penzey's has vanilla extracts 33% off right now. Prices are only going to continue to go up & odds are good that most commercial brands will start using lower-quality ingredients, if they haven't already. Stock up now, while the good stuff is still kinda-sorta affordable.

why the New Yorker publishes the brilliant Hanif Abdurraqib and then does not put his name in the social media post about his essay is absolutely beyond me, but anyway, the important thing here is that you should always read Hanif

i don't mean to dunk but not even mentioning that this is an essay by **Hanif Abdurraquib** and not some hedge fund dickhead mad his stocks are falling is really just fishing for outrage

HEADS-UP, IRELAND: A likely ICE flight has just landed at Shannon again, likely to refuel before delivering shackled migrants to god-knows-where. This is the same plane that sent migrants to Uganda — a country they had never been to before — on April 1. #spéirghorm

"Judge Millwood wrote in her ruling that she believed that Mr. Ross’s younger son, Tony Ross, who she said was a retired Alabama state trooper now working at a federal courthouse in Anniston, had used his position as a government employee to have Ms. Ross-Mahé arrested." ACAB af.

"Stories should be specific, reported, and not easily replicated through desk research" and "Rates range from $200 to $300 per story" ummmmmmm

Her work authorization is good for another four years -- but she "stopped working for the government’s side in immigration proceedings ... after seeing the conditions in detention facilities and how detained people were treated" so ofc they're targeting her. www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

Tom Waits in his new anti-war protest song with Massive Attack (out tomorrow): "Now who the hell are these federal pricks Hiding in the Senate like a bloated-ass tick … A coal to a diamond A vote into law They campaign up all the blood they can draw"

Never been more grateful that my parents were city kids who never instilled one iota of fear, prob could have used a little when they let me take the train into Manhattan from CT when I was 15 all by myself. Mom teaching is how to walk into the Waldorf to use the ladies’ instead of GCT

We are all forced to weigh which harms we’re willing to except and which harms are our hard lines. It’s why I never judge people for where they shop. For every bad company we boycott there’s another bad company we use. This is true for EVERYONE and if you claim perfection you’re lying.

Sorry everyone, my wife asked me to delete the thread because it got too big. I'll let you know the next steps we take, if any. Fuck Target, Fuck Self Checkout, and Fuck AI though. We're exploring options with the lawyer.

i was trying to write about the rock hall & went back to read what i wrote in previous years & " the fact that the MC5 were not first-ballot hall of famers completely disqualifies the entire body as a body of governance as to what is rock, what is influential, what is important, and what matters."

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
