the people “becoming their parents” in the Progressive ads are actually selflessly offering help to strangers and modeling a social order rooted in mutual aid

Did I spend 12 hours at Farm Aid and just write about the final 3? Not exactly but kinda.

shoutout Sarah McLachlan!!

Dunno who has been responsible for the Depeche Mode and New Order bumper music on this FOX Cowboys-Bears broadcast but I would like to be their college roommate

2012 Coachella when I could hear "Levels" coming from the dance tent

Gonna be paying that one off karmically until 2035

What a greedy fucking win that was for the Birds holy shit

I have no idea how any writer manages an entire review of 'Am I the Drama?' without spending at least one graf fixating on the title of the "Pleasure Principle"-sampling song being spelled "Principal."

Nicest thing I can say about this cover image is that it does basically look like the album sounds

OK maybe Buehler can start Game Two

Phillies have three usable starting pitchers for this October. I'm sure Rob Thomson would prefer it was four — if Zack Wheeler hadn't gotten hurt it would have been — but it is three. I pray he is able to approach the situation as what it is rather than what he wishes it was.

According to Prime Video's auto-generated subtitles, Leo the MGM lion's roar translates to "Love it."

FABO IS A LEGENDARY VOCALIST

He’s right

Really maybe the greatest '90s pop star year, straight up. TLC had absolutely everything going in '95.

a sentence I think about a lot

I will always read a Keith Harris live review, even on a band I have zero strong feelings about.

CMAT. If you don't know... look out.

Days where I'd argue it's better than The Main One

anyone interested in buying these Jordan 10 Retro Maya Moores off me? women's size 9, barely worn but a little dusty (i'm sure if you're a sneaker type you could make them look brand new) - dms open for a bit, let me know what you think (would appreciate rts from sneaker/wbb people)

"We can't let them communicate with each other" maybe a new level of bone-chilling here. Good lord.

damn RIP to Omen, who among many other things crafted this beautifully vertiginous beat www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQxW...

howling at Joe Davis’ very exasperated “you gotta be kidding”

Was fortunate enough to be watching the Dodgers broadcast on this one and earned one of the most dejected "You've got to be KIDDING" calls I've ever heard

It seems that the only trans person known to be in the orbit of this horrific Kirk assassination saga expressed shock and horror, and immediately cooperated fully with law enforcement.

Natalie, man. No one else would take on a 50-year-old consensus classic this thoughtfully and critically and still make you want to watch it again just to see how much you agree with their take.

Joyce Manor at Coachella hell yeah

"We thought, 'Things might be bad with the Sixers but at least we don't have to do THIS anymore.' And now here we are, with a player whose ultimate success and happiness we want many times worse than we ever did with Ben Simmons, once again doing THIS." www.rightstorickysanchez.com/p/are-we-rea...

With the Oasis stadium tour conclusively demonstrating the public's enduring appetite for both long-overdue '90s alt-rock reunions and bucket hats, I truly don't know what the New Radicals are still waiting for

In 18 appearances for the Phillies this season, Jhoan Duran has still yet to give up either a home run or a walk. Two earned runs total. 21 Ks. 14 saves, which is a bigger number than any Philly reliever has posted since 2023. And still might not be the biggest add the Phils made at the deadline.

"I met someone and we hung out for a while and did stuff" WOW HOLY SHIT DOES IT COME WITH A DIRECTORS COMMENTARY

The "tell me more" backup singer friends in "Summer Nights" really need to get a life

Sabrina Carpenter Rollout Report Card time! Sizing up an album and accompanying era whose reputation went from back-too-soon fizzle to Justice For fan favorite to maybe just another great hit album, actually in about a week's time. www.billboard.com/music/pop/sa...

I'm sorry and maybe this is being so naive or whatever I don't know but this is **legitimately** shocking to hear. The comfort in saying it in front of millions of viewers. I'm fucking speechless

Think it would've been even funnier if the title just had zero relevance to the rest of the song — though I must admit that saving it for the final 10 seconds is still pretty funny

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

good fun of course but feels like they could've done much better bar-wise than "Call it the opposite of a double fault!"

OTTO KEMP STANDS ALONE AS THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES CAREER HOME RUN LEADER*

It's true, though I don't know if "your normal pop star" even really exists anymore. This might actually be pretty close to normal for 2025.

NYT on the alleged messages on the shooter's weapon:

My biggest question about this album: Why was "Entertain Me" never a single? As long as you're going full 'Darklife' why not push the song that successfully reinvents that album's big vacation single as an escapism-is-futile ennui anthem? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Mc...

anyway! think this might be the last Nothin' But North Texas before my maternity leave :) tune in, may just do a little chicks mix and get emo in the studio www.knonnow.org

Everyone is out of their goddam mind.

appears to be a fortunate thing that the Phillies will have home-field advantage in any potential Mets series this postseason

Lets the cowards off the hook imo. We should get to continue to properly celebrate the Tony Wrotens of the world for their boldness in this field.

As I say here, I was incredibly excited to be included in this episode of the best music podcast about two of my favorite songs — but even more excited to think that anyone might hear either or both of them for the first time as a result of it.

Every damn time
