@richarddeitsch.bsky.social If ever you thought you might read one of our pieces, this will be my recommended salvo.

Finally, my final 5 in Loom’s 25 Essential 21st Century albums is rocketing toward completion. I couldn’t get going for six months; Norman sent me his in December. Before tonight, the Wordpress reading-time estimate was 11 minutes, a long one; now it’s 24 minutes…with three albums to go. Collar tug

THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

I've been rewatching the SCREAM films with my kid which inspired me to make a list.

Can’t the fuck wait

I love this relic for so many reasons

I fucking love New York

Geez! Spurs got old Donnie again, just like in Vietnam!

Mike Bloomberg incensed that his 75 year Lou Gehrig streak of not touching or being touched by a person of color streak has ended

My God this Reds bullpen

Congratulations to the biggest winners tonight: ESPN/ABC.

co-signed.

Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.

My goodness. @sifill.bsky.social with a perfect, appropriately chilling response to equally appropriate exasperation from @chrislhayes.bsky.social. Screencap included for proper context.

Today in "Absolutely not."

LOL Entourage was abhorrent trash. I should know, I watched until the end. What an embarrassment

Pritzker is willing to lose an NFL team to a neighboring state rather than give taxpayer money to a billionaire team owner, in a year when he’s on the ballot? Do i have that right? Because if so…great stuff

Haven’t listened to this show in ages, and this episode has me riveted

Stephen Thomas Erlewine with a sage consideration of Paul’s lively new opus. There may be Loomery in the future about it, so I’ll keep mine to: I might just love it except for one single ditty that casts a shade of, shudder, Driving Rain & Egypt Station. The rest, though? Top 21st-century McCartney.

I have a paper coming out soon about how the erosion of medical privacy for trans people would lead to this and even I'm shocked at how brazen this is.

This advisory could very aptly apply to dudes opining on, really, any subject even remotely to do with a woman. Or themselves, actually. All guys would do well to speak on serious topics at least 75% less

they're such fucking assholes all of the time

Wait, what??

The estimable @marisakabas.bsky.social walks a fine line here with grace, humility, and extreme writerly precision. I worried, the email noting that Kabas herself is one of the two media women in question—so easy to misstep writing “I”—but MK brings the soul and sticks the landing. Terrific stuff.

New Loom! New Highlight Reel! This time it’s a collection of jams from good ol’ The National. writersloom.org/2026/06/03/h...

Thank you to Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) for reposting this. It speaks truth

Scott Pelley forever

@1988toppspodcast.bsky.social Poor Weiss might be pictured in Webster’s under “scamp”

Rat bastards know the right things to say

Soderbergh + MH rave = ticket

@mikebatestwibh.bsky.social If you’re by chance in Johnson County, rest assured that a vote for Woodruff will not go wasted. He and I go back twenty years. Terrific candidate, phenomenal person.

I’ve never loved Scott Pelley more

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

I love this app but it is a little akin to staring into an abyss

Mercado Media stream reports GEO group private security guards just fired "less lethal munitions" at protesters, in addition to those shot by ICE and state police. Three sets of aggressors.

ICE agents are now hiding behind the Delaney Hall fence and yelling at anyone who comes onto the pavement to step off private property

We need a total ban on gambling ads, partnerships with sports leagues, and gambling apps on phones. Make people physically go to a casino to bet.

@sterlewine.bsky.social Looking forward to your Dungeon Lane review, which I’ll be reading as soon as I get a first listen under my belt

@billtwibh.bsky.social & @mikebatestwibh.bsky.social: In college I took a screenwriting class taught by a co-writer of the James Garner/Jack Lemmon vehicle My Fellow Americans. They’re an odd couple…of Presidents! Dialogue: Lemmon: You know what really gives me the red ass? Garner: …”the red ass?”

as much as i appreciate the democrats responding with vigor for once, the fact that republicans are using "transgender" as a slur for a political candidate is fucking horrifying and dems need to quickly figure out a way to address it head on. calling stephen miller ugly isn't a long-term fix.

He means white people.

lmfao

Okay then

Facebook knows women I dated for a matter of seconds back in like 2019. Shit is creepy

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

Hopped on Facebook proper and updated the sumbitch. This would not have occurred had the fuckers not added to the Messenger app a direct link to one’s original profile. I feel hoodwinked

Unseasonably brisk today. As good an excuse as any to queue up this masterpiece

When this happens, the next reporter has to ask the EXACT SAME QUESTION. This is not that hard!

LinkedIn is garbage. Trash screeds from clowns who think themselves profound, unsubtle chest-beating about workplace achievements, old friends looking more unbearable with every “like.” Kudos, then, to @marisakabas.bsky.social for enduring the toxic fray in the name of anti-AI activism. Props.
