Friendly reminder for media people outside of Texas that the Dallas Express is not a real newspaper, it is a conservative mouthpiece run by a Chicago conservative media company that bought a historic Black newspaper and now uses it for propaganda (h/t @stevanzetti.bsky.social)

Dear Marvel, MissileToe. Sincerely, Aryn Keen

Fun with the American healthcare system, episode #5384: During a recent routine gynecological visit my wife was informed of some abnormalities. The doctor we've known for years, who delivered one of our children, assured us she wasn't concerned, but surgery could be involved. Then it got worse. 1/

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

Going to see Jeff Rosenstock tonight, motherfuckers!

Aging Senator Explains That Young People Should Get Involved In Politics Because She's Fucking Out Of Here

The first half of tonight's Jimmy Kimmel is up on YouTube, and what I've watched so far is good stuff.

Gary Cohen wasn't sold on how the Cubs and Matt Shaw handled his absence to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial. "I don't want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the thought of leaving your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency, really strikes me as weird."

For the ‘boycotts don’t work’ crowd… “Target Corp.'s (TGT) stock has plummeted 33% since the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, wiping out over $20 billion in shareholder value by mid-September 2025.”

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

I wonder if Jeffrey Dahmer ever had carnie asada.

It is the year 2025. Lilith Fair artists Sarah McLachlan and Jewel are boycotting a Lilith Fair documentary over Disney’s decision to sideline Man Show host Jimmy Kimmel for comments he made criticizing coverage of a dead white supremacist. Explain THAT to 1997 you 😵‍💫

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

We don’t have Disney so I can’t cancel it, but I will kick the Hollywood Blvd. Mickey Mouse in the nuts next time I see him.

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."

“This can’t be interpreted…as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.” In my first byline for @teenvogue.com, I spoke with trans students, with Texas teachers, and those who support them about this troubling law that's singling out trans, enby and gender nonconforming young folks:

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Softball conversation about music. Him: If don’t know them they aren’t famous. Me: Nope. You don’t know all the music. You’re over 50. You’ve lost track. Him: I would still know them. Me: Do you know who sings this song? It’s the Killers. Him: Never heard of them.
