I think what irritates me so much about BSG that doesn't with Lost is Lost always felt weird and nebulous. A namby-pamby ending fits, in a way. But BSG felt like it was trying to say so much about the Iraq war, xenophobia, & dying empire. But that fucking last half-season basically undid all that!

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...

A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)

I don’t understand why people just jump to the conclusion that voters are the root of electoral outcomes but don’t consider that the people who control the most sophisticated ‘info’ output & surveillance networks on the globe have figured out how to reliably subvert the democratic process by now

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Obviously, I knew some extreme basics about colonialism. But definitely the approved for rural white American high school version of that story. Which is to say, at best scant and at worst straight up lies.

I squeaked with delight when I saw the subject of the new @thisguysucked.com episode. I've been hating this motherfucker for years. I loved many of Gauguin paintings when I first saw them as a dumb teen. Then I learned about both colonialism & his specific abuses. Can't wait to hate along.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

People often ask me, "How is it being in Ohio?" knowing the attacks on higher education are acute here. But the fact is, nowhere is safe. Here's a story about senseless and devastating budget cuts in Minnesota. There is no political party that seriously defends higher education in the U.S. today.

I told Nolie that when I was his age, wrestlers would get a graphic and then swept away when they passed. He was flabbergasted, because all he knows are these AEW tributes. I wish they didn’t have to happen. But I’m glad Ben, Andy, & Jon’s memories were so beautifully honored.

From *2024*. Not that a lot of people On Here want to read takes about country music from people who know what they're talking about and have been attempting to do the actual work: www.countryuniverse.net/2025/01/21/t...

So they found new audiences to distract, and they doubled-down in 2024. Courting the white, Southern "state college" demographic proved lucrative. Bailey Zimmerman staged his absolutely horrific CMA performance like a literal frat party, complete with a beer pong table and a creepy old dude in a sleeveless shirt who had no business being around college kids. Megan Moroney's entire persona is of a sorority girl who's punching down at people she sees as beneath her in one way or another. And what could be more endemic to Music Row than going all-in on institutions that uphold patriarchal white supremacy? The only surprise is that it took them this long to recognize the collegiate Greek system as a potential cash cow.

Not to get intersectional about the two Discourses, but I've been loudly beating the drum for the last 3 years that Music Row's embrace of Pledge Week Country via the collegiate Greek system (B Zimmerman, M Moroney, H Westbrook) is a function of its patriarchal white supremacy as a $$$ driver.
