The photos in the datasets were overwhelmingly of women, including adult performers, influencers, and celebrities, but also women who are definitely not famous.

What does it mean to be “Moderate” in the face of starving children? In the face of Fascism? in the face of the destruction of the White House both metaphorically and in dirt and stone? It means losing. It means losing America.

This might be the strangest thought I’ve had today and the strangest thing you’ll read (that isn’t current events): I think Sabrina Carpenter could do an amazing cover of Placebo’s “Nancy Boy”. I think her musical style and cadence would fit perfectly.

I know music on the whole isn’t great right now but it seems like it could be so much worse had we not had Tom from MySpace and Steve Jobs giving a damn about music. Seems like we could’ve been here about 10 years earlier without them.

I’ve been reading “Where Are Your Boys Tonight”, between that & my understanding of the early days of MP3s & the iPod, it’s clear to me we got very lucky that the people behind early digital music & social media actually cared about music.

This is just reporting. This is what headlines in the New York Times and your local paper should look like every day. The New Yorker should be publishing stuff like this, only with an umlaut thrown in occasionally for some fucken reason.

Only two more days of racist attacks on Mamdani’s campaign, and then, God willing, it will be time to pivot to corporate media’s steady barrage of racist attacks on his administration! (Being a hopeful realist, here.) (God willing actually he’ll do such a great job that it’ll spark Some Things…)

I’m heartbroken that my rabbinic colleagues are focused on Mamdani, while Jew-hatred that consumed the lives of synagogue goers has become official GOP — and government — policy. Thanks to @theradr.bsky.social for encouraging me to submit this to The Forward.

Why are we so focused on Mamdani — not Nazi-inspired ideas proliferating on the right?
Jews are concerned about antisemitism amid Zohran Mamdani's mayoral run. They're concentrating on the wrong side of the political spectrum.

To be clear: I’m not talking about disabilities. There are people who make it to the level of professional sports with missing limbs. Blind and deaf people can be successful musicians. But if your able bodied kid can’t seem to dribble a basketball despite practicing for hours, let them down gently.

Tone deaf singer at your church? Gone. Fanfic writer? Gone. Person using AI for “art”? Gone. Help them find something they’re actually good at. Otherwise you end up w/ppl like Ben Shapiro who thinks he failed in Hollywood bc of “liberal bias” instead of just being told he can’t write worth a damn.

Unpopular Opinion: AI exists because we refuse to tell people to accept obvious limitations. Not everyone can sing, write, draw, etc. If we want to stop AI we need to be constructively critical of ppl who can’t sing, can’t write, can’t draw, etc.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

This must be what it’s like to meet Odin when you enter Valhalla. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...
The stars were plentiful, and in the aftermath of the lunacy, one of them stood in the Dodgers' clubhouse, still trying to process what happened. Will Klein, the last man out of the Dodgers' bullpen, a reliever who had topped out this year at two innings and 36 pitches, threw four innings of one-hit ball and struck out five on 72 pitches. The last of them, an 86 mph curveball, induced a swing-and-miss from Tyler Heineman and a scream from Klein, who understood what had been asked of him and knew he'd delivered.

Games don't become classics without efforts like Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going."

That’s not what meta or existential means at all, you’re thinking of is “subtext”. But it’s also not subtext bc it’s very explicit how close he is to dying at all times. Existential horror would be more like I Saw The TV Glow, Requiem For A Dream, or in context of the post, Event Horizon.
