and then another was seeing a preview of the first Magic Mike in Austin on like a 102° day with a theater full of women primed for it, hooting and hollering. while I maintain XXL is more fun, that crowd ruled.

one good one was when about half my high school went to see The Doors opening weekend at the Barton Creek Mall and it was a theater full of teens who smoked and drank throughout the entire movie. there was a halfhearted effort by the staff to calm it down but they gave up pretty quickly.

why does he look like he’s about to grab that mic and start growling “god money i’ll do anything for you”

Tubi needs to add a "share your to watch list" feature, in my opinion

Another winner from Lisa Fain, the greatest Texas cookbook author of my lifetime

Dinner rolls, dessert and beverages are the only acceptable storebought items to bring to a Thanksgiving. This is a softening of my Granny's attitude--she would have said only beverages. www.inquirer.com/life/thanksg...

The kind of state senator who could be president of this great country (of Philadelphia) someday!

One of my neighborhood's fancy bakeries named a donut for Mamdani this weekend

Ariel Pink went to my old Portland club a couple nights ago after his show at the Star and one of my former coworkers asked him --from the stage, audibly to the bar-- "Hey, where were you on January 6th?" and his body man said "hey, NOT cool!" while the bartender lost it laughing

Sandwich case a wrap as hero found not guilty; jury determines government’s case a turkey, claims ICE testimony didn’t cut the mustard

Also just a real rebuke to assholes in general

The only thing I ever saw that even comes close to this was Ann Richards' victory speech at the Austin Hyatt, but she sure as hell didn't quote Debs! Incredible.

not mentioned in this sweet piece, but a fun gay Texas fact is that Matt Bomer and Lee Pace were in high school theater together outside of Houston

this is one of those songs I think about once a year and it is I think an ultimate 1990s "you had to be there" track...I could explain the context of Michael Stipe's rap but that only goes so far youtu.be/CzxeqD6_dCw?...

that Bluestockings announcement is a real bummer. Making sure to blame your own members for not reaching a consensus on the way out is certainly a choice bluestockings.com

back in the old Tits and Sass blog days we had a whole category for strip club tax evasion stories, but this one is in a class of its own, involving the execs of a publicly traded company and a NY state auditor www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/n...

Is it commonly known that Andrew Dice Clay was sampled in "Unbelievable," because I had no idea.

Gawker was a good website

Tom Greenhalgh just asked the audience at the Mekons show if anyone knew Sophie Lewis

I'm in Philly but they really got me with the free hat

Congrats to Don's Auto, the most honest inspection you can get in Philly. When other shops told me they "couldn't" inspect my 1992 car, Don told me they were just being lazy and he got me fixed right up!! Great place to get your brakes done, too.

what the fuck! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Same way we bought everything. You went to a physical location and purchased your items. which is still a way you can buy things to this very day!!!
