Not that we needed confirmation, but this right here is a sure sign the Slotkin speech was in fact very bad and failed to meet the moment. “Best rebuttal in my memory” lmaooo.

"But I need to stay informed!" Big dawg, not a single word of what he's gonna say is gonna be informative or helpful. Just find something you enjoy and focus on that.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

I'M STILL HERE displacing EMILIA PEREZ for Best International Feature at the Oscars

South Carolina wins the coin flip

This is a great jacket.

America's workers are not "falling" into homelessness. They're being pushed. My essay for @nytopinion.nytimes.com:

Oscar thoughts: Clear top-4 for me in Best Picture — Anora, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, Nickel Boys. The Brutalist was simply…fine. Wicked and Dune II were fun times at the theater. Emilia Perez is a steaming pile of dogshit.

Hey, I wrote a big big column on one of the greatest bands of all time: The Kinks. If you know them you love them. If you don't know them allow me to share some of the best songs ever written. uproxx.com/indie/the-ki...

The Rewatchables does the Dion Waiters Award for best heat check performance in a small role, and her work in Gossip Girl as Georgina Sparks deserves a lifetime achievement Dion Waiters Award. Elite TV villain who stole every scene and also managed to be a revered fan character? What a loss.

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

Love that we’re continuing to expand the Wednesday/MJ Lenderman musical universe.

like why would they zoom in like that 😭 #ncaawbb #wcbb

This game was insane.

Conclave (2024)

This will also be the postgame show on 680 now that they hired Barrett Sallee.

Unsurprisingly, Ruston Kelly’s Dirt Emo version of Avril’s “Complicated” goes hard in the paint. open.spotify.com/track/3RwGfo...

Anklets are back in, baby.

Post a picture of the last game you were at. Last actual game, on the left: Cubs/Pirates at Wrigley, 5/19/24. Game that got rained out, on the right: Braves/Reds, 7/23/24.

Giving Max Fried leeway to explore the studio space with his bad facial hair seems like a real negative. He doesn’t deserve that freedom.

Ben Kweller has never been my particular cup of tea musically, but this new joint with Waxahatchee is a banger. open.spotify.com/track/4SjmBB...

As always, read Soraya.

Imagine being so bad at Sunday school that the pope yelled at you personally

A bill was introduced in the SC legislature that would make what we do a felony. Let’s fund some abortions in his honor. www.donorbox.org/support-the-fund

Got an email overnight from New American Pathways. They’re really needing an influx of donations to meet the needs of recently arrived families left hanging by the federal funding mess. Link to give if you can: fundraise.givesmart.com/form/glrvJg?...

Another total abortion ban was introduced into the SC legislature today — one with an aiding & abetting clause — so it’s a great day to show support for your favorite South Carolina abortion fund: www.donorbox.org/support-the-fund

My main Bluesky observation is y’all aren’t going to make it if you’re going to pull your hair out over every bad NYT headline/story (of which there are many). Literally just screaming into a void that’s going to do nothing but make you more exasperated.

Charlie Baker can go fuck himself

Lenny made it into GQ! They also interviewed me: t.co/dg6vXagkOy

No better music combo right now than Katie Crutchfield featuring MJ Lenderman on guitar and backup vocals. open.spotify.com/track/7leOfp...
