It’s nice that an actual country song that is emotionally intelligent is actually getting great airplay… country radio has been on meth for far too long.

An amazingly stark example of how the US economy has broken: Zaslav clears nearly a *billion* dollars amid a CEO tenure where he made basically anything he touched worse, harmed multiple prestigious brands, led huge layoffs—but delivered a corrupt merger for shareholders. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

I’m on a flight next to a guy who is listening to Seinfeld with no headphones and all I hear is the laughtrack and the worst bass noises of all time every 15 seconds and all I can think about is this.
Pftompkins.bsky.social: The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

Sadly I think that’s how Newsradio came up with it’s horrible auto cues… imagine being Dave Foley coming from Kids in the Hall where “Shadowy men” helped make that shows aura to one of the worst original soundtracks ever… I think that’s one of the things that held Newsradio back.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

i'm just saying that i actually HAVE encountered a bear in the woods while hiking, and it was scary, but i held still and it left me alone because it was just going about its business. and it was far less scary and way cooler of a story than the time a guy chased me to my apartment gate

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

No More Freeways @nomorefreewayspdx.com · 19/09/2026
Don't want to spend your life stuck in traffic congestion? Turns out, the best way to prevent traffic congestion is to stop building billions of dollars of miles of freeway and instead invest in transit.
This matters because this is an important lesson, a potential teachable moment for all of us, about how the transportation system works.  Expanding highways in urban areas results in what is called “induced travel”–the greater supply of road capacity prompts people to take more and longer trips than they would otherwise.  That’s why widening roads to solve congestion never works–roads, no matter how wide, fill up and become congested, like Houston’s 23-lane wide Katy Freeway which actually is slower after its most recent expansion than it was before.  This is what economists now call the “fundamental law of road congestion.”  And this fundamental law also works in reverse:  take away some of the capacity, and as everyone of these supposed Carmaggedon’s shows, traffic evaporates.  Once we understand that traffic responds to supply, we can recognize we can limit traffic by not building so much capacity.

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.
