Umpteeth reason to boycott the Men’s World Cup this summer. If FIFA is going to continue finding ways to betray the world’s game, we don’t have to go along with it.

We’re always on the lookout for researchers, writers, and editors to pitch in and help us make and maintain these pages. Here’s how to join us: unbreaking.org/how-to-help/

Ah the "announcers keep mispronouncing Black players' names at a much higher rate and mixing them up" discourse has begun for professional volleyball. This feels like a stage of growth for any sport, as much as it's frustrating as hell that announcers are bad at their jobs.

It is free to simply not comment on something you have not read.

This essay is good, actually, and this skeet is not at all what it's about. Hanif done dirty by whoever writes these posts, the replies are all arguing with something the essay does not argue at all this shit makes me fucking insane.

San Francisco is holding the line — we’re going deep on how. Join us & @coyotemedia.org April 28 at the SF LGBT Center for a live interview series featuring leaders in the fight for trans rights, interviewed by trans journalists who ask the right questions.

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

The report about the surveillance at Madison Square Garden and other James Dolan properties is insane and towards the bottom, there’s a reveal that this kind of surveillance will also be used against fans during the World Cup www.wired.com/story/madiso...

I'm not the person to write this but I think there is maybe a piece to be written about Bullock & Witherspoon seeing AI through the lens aging actresses trying to figure out how to fit themselves into an industry that loves women when they're young and hot and then drops them when wrinkles appear.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

COYOTE is a Bay Area publication through and through, but I think this piece probably has corollaries in a lot of big cities struggling to figure out how to fund the arts. Under what conditions do you accept tainted billionaire money to stay alive as an artist? www.coyotemedia.org/how-could-yo...

In case you missed it yesterday, @emmaruthless.bsky.social gamely tried to answer a question that pretty much every SF culture person is grappling with right now: how the fuck am I supposed to think about the Civic Joy Fund? Boycott worthy? A necessary evil? www.coyotemedia.org/how-could-yo...

This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

I'm not necessarily going to bat for Anna's here but it's fucking WILD that companies will scream bloody murder to the tune of $millions when my work is scraped for archiving, but startups get funded to the tune of $millions when they're scraping my work for LLMs. www.nme.com/news/music/a...

SF’s Civic Joy Fund is one of those hidden-picture tests: Do you see a lamp or a woman’s face? Are billionaires using tax loopholes to advance a technofash takeover of public space, or are they philanthropists swooping in to save the arts when no one else will? www.coyotemedia.org/how-could-yo...

The brave and talented @emmaruthless.bsky.social took on a BIG question today for @coyotemedia.org: What the fuck is the deal with the Civic Joy Fund? Can you ethically play their shows? And what would real arts funding look like in San Francisco? www.coyotemedia.org/how-could-yo...

Really good piece that captures so much of the frustration I feel every time a woman gets caught having a relationship with a source: defector.com/dianna-russi...

It has been 13 years since Israeli soldiers murdered Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer. This is a really compelling piece by her mother.

Just noting these sort of custom/hacked orders are making workers' lives hell www.eater.com/23399320/sec...

One cool thing about writing the @coyotemedia.org calendar is that I'm listening to music a lot more widely now to check out bands that are playing and see if I want to put them on the calendar. I'm slowly building a playlist of the songs I've liked best from that listening. Maybe will share?

the responses to this are such a joyous look at what the internet could be

This week's @coyotemedia.org calendar has whale tracking, paper flowers, poetry, a LAN party, and the word "gobble hole." Go out and do stuff! There is good shit happening! www.coyotemedia.org/coyote-calen...

This is why Susan and I started a business together lol

There’s so much wrong here, but in particular it’s noted in the article that the creator of this project met with a bunch of stakeholders who told him the idea was shit, and he did it anyway.

And yet they must report this bad news to the king.

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

Wow. In 2017, @avitalnn.bsky.social and I reported on the women’s rugby team at Quinnipiac and the school’s ongoing failure to comply with T9. I guess now that T9 is defunct in practice, they finally did what they’ve wanted to do. www.sbnation.com/2017/4/3/151...

It is always an honor to be the first guest on a podcast, and this one is a fun one!

The first episode of @dreamingagainstthemachine.com is up! @reveleth.com and I had a lovely conversation about who gets to be a futurist, radical almanacs, and our least favorite manifestos. Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts! pod.link/1890733564/e...

ngl I probably said too much about the project I'm working on but haven't actually finished the proposal for/pitched on this podcast but... oh well!

It's time! Episode 1! @adambecker.bsky.social talks with @reveleth.com about the future & why certain visions of it endure in American culture. They also discuss problematic faves, radical almanacs, horrifying manifestos, and the virtues of being cheesy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR0o...

it is SO GOOD, and is just a really great reminder of the types of things going on around us all the time. hard to look at this page and not feel a spark of love for the whole bay area

Hey if you're in the Bay Area and wondering what there is to do, @coyotemedia.org puts together a weekly calendar that is pretty fucking good. I write it, so I'm biased obviously. But you can get it for FREE on our site and in your inbox: www.coyotemedia.org/tag/calendar/

wet hot medieval summer

"Schapiro is a bean influencer. There are several of these in the Bay Area. I paid big money for a college degree so I could write things like this." www.coyotemedia.org/in-beans-we-...

Happy Monday, have some beans. www.coyotemedia.org/in-beans-we-...

We're super thankful for all the support people have already shown for DATM - and now it's T-2 days for our official first ep. It features the very cool @reveleth.com, and it's dropping Tuesday. Don't miss it - join us on Patreon, or wygypods :) www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Signal has a setting to stop this (Settings > Notifications > Notification Content). It's likely not an issue limited to just Signal, but more fundamental friction between secure chat apps and phones. Very interesting data point when talking about forensics www.404media.co/fbi-extracts...

New rule: Democrats are not allowed to use the word "distraction" anymore.

Hey! Hey! A couple more hours left of the 50% off deal at COYOTE! Support indie, worker owned journalism! Please? www.coyotemedia.org#/portal/offe...

It’s pretty hard to identity white supremacy more than thinking White South Africans are the only people in the entire world that deserve refugee status.

Hey it's Local News Day and that means you can get a COYOTE subscription for HALF OFF! We can't do this work without members, please consider becoming one today: www.coyotemedia.org#/portal/offe...

I know this sounds hopelessly naive and plaintive at this point but a large part of me is just shrieking WHY THE FUCK DOESN’T SOMEONE FUCKING DO SOMETHING

I yearn for the time when podcasts were podcasts and not badly lit YouTube videos.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Oh shit I have to make...so much stuff...for this soda and wood fire coming up oh fuck.

Can't WAIT for @pochoboymeetsworld.bsky.social's latest poetry collection to drop. Here's a taste, that we're lucky enough to publish at @coyotemedia.org plus an intro from the author about displacement, space (near and very far) and creativity: www.coyotemedia.org/these-spaces...

The Grey Lady must be missing her heart. A respected employee asks to work remote while caring for his 96-year old father, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease? Rejected.
