@sarahmackattack.bsky.social are you familiar with the Welsh indie musician Cate Le Bon? She has a song (and album) called Crab Day and the origin story seemed up your alley. Seems like a better April 1 holiday! youtu.be/y7249oqQO7A?...

In this episode they answer my listener question and decide that the Seattle Sounders are the only ethical soccer club to support (at least that’s how I chose to understand it)!

Tired: 10 minute VAR reviews Wired: 2 month CAF reviews

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Here’s a young Buster Keaton with his family on the Vaudeville circuit dressed as an Irish.

My best picture power rankings: The Secret Agent >> Marty Supreme > One Battle > Bugonia > Sinners > Sentimental Value >> Train Dreams >>> Frankenstein (didn’t see Hamnet yet but will, didn’t see F1 and won’t) And my actual favorite movies of 2025

I also dream of scoring a meaningless goal in a 4-1 defeat.

Glad my anti Ayatollah Khamenei t-shirts will still be relevant.

these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years. this year i'm once again supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, whose work is tragically as vital as ever. please consider giving if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

Don’t wear white after Labor Day? Tell that to an arctic fox, dumbass.

The Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a new set of rules attempting to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth nationwide. Take action and tell HHS: No bans on gender-affirming care.

One Battle After Another really captured the inherent weirdness of people who are too into Christmas. Up there with Disney/Harry Potter Adults.

If I killed someone because of his vulture eye, hid their body under the floor, and the police didn’t seem to notice the beating of his hideous heart, I think I’d just keep that to myself. Why draw attention to it?

Not sure why prognosticators are surprised that lukewarm reviews have hurt The Smashing Machine’s box office numbers. Everyone knows that paper beats Rock.

‘Hit the Road’ is an especially charming and accessible entry point

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

I wrote about the World Cup.

Very patriotic of the USMNT to make sure the World Cup next summer won’t just be an embarrassment off the field

@empiregass.bsky.social hey, just wanted to say I really appreciated your righteous anger and flagging the deportation defense hotline in the latest @soccerwisehq.bsky.social episode. thanks for doing something to help make soccer for everyone

Come to the New York Times, the paper that’s unafraid to call a spade “what critics are describing as a small shovel.”

"Woke" -- changing norms through social pressure -- is not, contra the reactionary centrists, another form of tyranny. It's the *alternative* to tyranny. It's new norms winning through the marketplace of ideas. The alternative is what we see now: enforcing norms via the threat of state violence.

This feckless idiot doesn’t have any feck at all. I want a minority leader filled to the brim with feck. Feckful even.

Gonna be calling my senators in the morning and asking that we get a senate minority leader who is up to the challenge of the Trump administration. Because Schumer ain’t it.

My favorite genres: 1. A young woman yearns 2. A seaman feels strongly 3. A melancholy ill-fated romance 4. A samurai seeks revenge 5. A bunch of surreal ideas with a threadbare-at-best plot

Immigrants, trans people, palestinian rights activists, eventually it’s going to be your turn when the regime decides you are an enemy

Apple has so much of my data and screen tracking and every button I ever press. So why the fuck does it think I ever want to listen to the Hamilton soundtrack (which I never have) instead of Hamilton Leithauser (who I listen to all the time)?

Vegan holiday gatherings will be extra extravagant this year: Tofurkey has announced a turducken-style dish they’re calling a Tofucken

The solution to keep people from using generative AI is to have Greenzo from 30 Rock tell them which penguin their ugly “art” just killed.

I saw an emerald green duck in Green Lake. Scoured my bird books and realized it’s probably an escaped domestic hybrid.

Going to bring back the Canadian flag patches US kids had on their bags when studying abroad in Europe during the start of the Iraq war, but for weekend trips to Vancouver.

Area man has opened the throttle on blowing through apparent blood alcohol limits while operating a vehicle, often with no clear explanation for how the number of drinks he’s had could be consistent with the law.

I don’t have time to do the math - if Margaret Qualley is at the Grammys, does that mean Demi Moore gets to come out for the Oscars?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

these people are segregationists and their position is that no one who isn’t a white man is qualified to do skilled work of any kind

In heaven

Football’s fired fascist falconer fortifies following phallic frenzy: fans furious!

This is appointment viewing every year for anyone who has the movies in their heart

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack I went out for a paddle and I never went back Like a river that don't know where it's flowing I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

Back on my bullshit [listening to an unhealthy amount of Nick Cave]

Ironic? I don’t care

Where’s the starter pack of self-described heterodox thinkers who’s radically centrist priors happen to explain the election results? Starter pack and/or block list

I’m despairing of and despondent about this dumb fucking country
