Like my brain keeps wanting to make comps between Snail Mail and Pink Floyd, but that’s just such a disservice to Lindsey because she’s leagues more talented as a front-woman than Roger Waters ever was

Good boss. If you're the kind of person losing your shit on someone working retail or in food service, go fuck yourself harder than ever. You clearly have never worked it before and I promise you couldn't handle the job.

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"

Idk much about how these apps set their odds either, but I can say for certain that 3/4 of the ads during a sports broadcast being for gambling makes me long for 2023 when that wasn’t the case, and that in itself is a crime worthy of wiping every one of these apps off the face of the earth

lol well when you put it like that. But ig I was more thinking specifically in the context of Pete Rose, since he was betting directly with a mafioso, so it was pretty easy for them to rig betting based on whether Pete bet on himself or not

Josh “Please Ask To Read My Novel” Berman @boshthejerm.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I agree, but I do think it’s worth noting that betting on yourself to win serves as a signal to other bettors about when to bet against you (i.e. when you don’t bet on yourself). But yeah, unless it gets abolished entirely, that’s about the best you can hope for from an athlete

1 am disappointed in Tom Morello, and I feel really let down by someone I've looked up to, who I thought understood the difference between intent and impact at the moment that mattered most.
But l've been thinking about it, and the band was called Rage Against The Machine, not Vote Like Your Life And The Lives Of Every Vulnerable Person In Your Country Depend On It Against The Machine, so I guess this is really on me.

ok new test: if you think rape is bad and should never be tolerated, like and repost this. if you think rape is a “complex issue,” just type “not all sexual assault is rape” in the comments.

It honeslty just shows me how much rape culture exists. With James Somerton, we all collectively agreed he didn’t deserve a platform anymore, and he disappeared. I’m sure he’s got some job somewhere, living a life. But an admitted rapist, well, he we must forgive, because some of us liked his stuff.

I think what I resent the most is that all of us, especially the women who worked with him, were a part of his rehabilitation (at least image-wise) without us ever getting to choose if that was something we wanted to participate in. He didn't let us or his audience make a choice. How ironic.

i think if you’re having complicated feelings about a man you looked up to being outed as a sexual abuser the thing to do is work through those feelings before/without writing an essay about it. the take economy has cooked your brain.

I also believe in restorative justice but I don't think that means you get to become a pillar of a community and garner an audience and an income that relies solely on everyone including yourself staying silent about your actions. In the VIDEO GAME SPHERE no less.

The fact someone can commit sexual assault and be punished in a discrete manner so as not to “ruin their life” and then years later become a popular entity in media, causing even more trauma when the assault is revealed? If the initial punishment didn’t favor the assaulter, this’d be less common.

On Jacob Geller

I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

feeling this hard -- i am so glad that there is an actual conversation that's taking place around cornell, and that survivors coming forward isn't being dismissed as 'woke 1' or whatever the fuck. and it's also hard to ignore that we've been here before, in the recent past, and nothing changed.
