thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"

The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"

One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need.

Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

The teacher speaking is Mr. McCant at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County, Georgia.

Is this what is being taught to students? It's no wonder people are feeling stressed, but it's the left indoctrinating people. 🙄

Would this be considered grooming?

When I first reviewed #Task, I specifically called out this week’s penultimate episode as its best. Revisiting it to recap just cemented my thoughts: this is one damn good hour of television.

So Zach Bryan basically responded to the White House with a good ole boy version of “I said what I said”.

And there’s nothing more patriotic about speaking up when America is hurting. This administration will never understand that.

Whoa there!

You guys!

The podcast I produced “The Man Who Calculated Death” just won a W3 Gold Award from the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts!!

It’s been on a roll lately because its true story of a family as their nation falls to fascism is unfortunately so timely.
