Reporting on how Talarico is reaching new people with his relatively run-of-the-mill mainline Christianity really shows how the media and political dominance of right wing evangelicalism has constrained the American religious imagination.

Spent some time with Emotional Rescue this weekend, and that album sorta rules. Excited for this series.

Oh hell yes. I was relatively late to SML, only getting into them late last year, before becoming obsessed this spring. And yet, it still feels like they are just getting started. Super psyched for this.

Get that last sun of the weekend, buddy…

I’ll never forgive Donald Trump for killing John Prine.

Happy 21st to the best music website ever. Only the good shit.

Really looking forward to hating the Spurs for two weeks. Bunch of jabronis.

Legitimately LOL'd at that ending.

I’ve fell asleep twice during this match already.

I am struggling to decide whether it would be funnier to see PSG humiliate Arsenal (like they did to Inter last year), or to see Arsenal lose in close and heartbreaking fashion.

Liverpool In Crisis

Now listening to my first Brown Horse song (Wreck). It's ridiculous, but I'll allow it.

Finally getting around to the latest Sean Thompson's Weird Ears. Jeez louise that's good.

Was parked on Main Street in Beacon, NY today. Opened my door to get out of my car and my door nearly ripped completely off and is damaged enough that it can not shut, and the indoor material of the door is hanging, detached from the door. Great start to the weekend.

Was actually listening to Sonny's The Bridge when I came across this petition. Let's go.

New York Times publishing hate speech. Smh.

conservative pundits (sneering): actually our christianity is more a set of ideological views about race and gender than anything resembling faith or observance everyone else: yes we know, it's not a secret

They are so desperate for their God to have a huge dick.

Matt Yglesias already furrowing his brow, stroking his chins, and writing a 5000 word substack on this one.

Bing Bong

It might be the dreariest Memorial Day weekend since the all the other ones. But LIVE RUST still fuckin sounds great played LOUD

Absolutely incredible to see Roma and Como claim the last two Champions League spots and Juventus and Milan miss out.

Hell yes...

No it the fuck was not.

Happy Birthday, Bob Dylan.

Bing Bong

There is someone in Beacon, NY who I have not met who had multiple Hull City stickers on their car. Happy for them.

I can't be the only one who grunts "PROTECT THIS HOUSE" in Under Armour commercial voice when I see him perched on a table or counter in obvious mouse hunting mode, right?

“I’m quite confident we were selling high” - Daryl Morey after trading Jared McCain to the Thunder

5 months into 2026, if I had to revise my top albums of 2025, HOW YOU BEEN by SML would definitely be in the top 5.

On the Calculation of Volume II is way better than I in ways that are difficult to explain.

Eat shit, you racist, incompetent assholes.

Farewell, Tulsi Gabbard. You didn't stop any regime change wars, but at least you pretended you would.

I made the mistake of visiting National Review to see what their headlines were today. There were multiple pieces celebrating the end of his show and a few mocking his Catholicism as inauthentic. Give me the Catholicism/faith of Colbert any day over that of JD Vance, Mike Johnson, or National Review

Good thread!

Our beautiful boy, Keenan the Cat is six years old today.

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

Maybe the only feel good story of this god forsaken tournament.

Nine years ago today, I stood in front of Big Pink for the first (but not last) time, grinning like a goddamn fool.

Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers, everyone!

Knicks on a 19-8 run since I opened the Utz Party Mix. #bingbong

Big night for Lifelong New York Knicks Fans, like myself.

Happy 40th birthday to Peter Gabriel’s So. What an album.

JD Vance may never be President. But when the history of this era of American politics is finally written, he'll probably be recognized as the most pathetic, craven piece of shit of the entire era...which is also quite an accomplishment.

Self-proclaimed "moderate Republican" Mike Lawler will be hosting Donald Trump for an event in Rockland County on Friday.

There is only one answer. One man with unparalleled knowledge of the league and opposing locker rooms, and a career of excellence. Kei Kamara for Manager/Player of Columbus Crew. #crew96

Keenan the Cat update.

Man if that 96th minute goal is what keeps Eusebio Di Francesco's Lecce up, I'm gonna be so happy for the man...

Phillies are back, baby.

It's a shame that West Ham is so terrible that they have sucked all the drama and humor out of the final weeks of Tottenham Hotspur's season.
