after getting over the initial shock I got a follow-up "oof" remembering he was just in the Sly Stone doc talking about how white rock stars get to grow old and comfortable

RIP to the man with the greatest three-albums-in-20-years career in music history

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.

The Milwaukee Bucks are signing Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way NBA deal, joining older brothers Giannis and Thanasis, Octagon's Alex Saratsis tells ESPN. This marks the first time in NBA history that three brothers are on active roster contracts with the same team.

Easy call.

“The Man Who Saw Tomorrow”. Narrated by Orson Welles. I saw it and had nightmares about nuclear war and the Antichrist who will end the world, forever changing me from a carefree child. I was only 5 years old at the time…

However, Prince saw it and made a classic jam called “1999”

i don't know nothin' from nothin' but when i asked where to go for cheesesteaks when i was going to be in philly the overwhelming rec was John's Roast Pork for both cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches EVEN THOUGH John's does not do broccoli rabe on their roast pork. high praise, man.

Coach Finstock @coachfinstock.bsky.social · 1d

John Bucci from John's Roast Pork should have his own day I think if we're looking for Italians to celebrate. The shop has been open since 1930 and they won a James Beard Award for making sandwiches in Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation. I think he's got the goods
