You have to admire the commitment to commemorating the ‘99 series with this score.

Don’t be surprised. This is just what Drake Maye does when he sees Drake Thomas on the other side of the field.

Surely we can all agree on the best album of 1989.

I’m late to season 4 of “The Bear” and just want to appreciate Robert Townsend for a minute. He exudes pure joy, even when he’s in a hospital bed. And this show (great as it is) needs that. Glad he’s still doing it, 40 years after making some of the funniest stuff of the 1980s.

Prior to this piece, the word "self-ID" had appeared in 4 Times stories, all time. One was written by Jesse Singal, one by Pamela Paul. Telling.

The language in this screenshot is THE problem with how mainstream media (particularly the @nytimes.com and @theatlantic.com ) and poll-chasing Dems think & talk about trans rights. To them, both sides are special interests. That's not the reality.

First, Democrats should express their frustration and disgust with the ways extremists on both sides have weaponized the issue. Doing so will immediately signal to swing voters that they are trying to resolve, not exploit, the culture wars. Democrats can make clear that on the right, hardcore conservatives have used this debate primarily to inflict harm, painting transgender people as monsters who seek to change our culture and history. On the far left, progressive activists police our language, attempting to shame those who step out of line or do not agree with every item on their agenda. While there is no moral equivalency between those

Kudos to the geniuses who finally figured out how to make this a game.

The front of a box for the “Bluey Keely Uppy Game” game. Bluey’s on one end of a little cardboard seesaw thing. The other end of the seesaw thing is a balloon being blown aloft by the blower in dad’s hands. Blue and Bingo and Mom chase it.
