It's really cool of the Giants to just keep letting Lamonte Wade play first base. Most teams are so heartless they simply refuse to play the worst guys every single inning of every game.

This is not about protecting Jews, and as Jews it is our responsibility to call out this performative fascism for what it is.
Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

it's becoming clear the nba is being run by a powerful cabal of basketball podcasters who demand increasingly ridiculous content. Nico Harrison was a patsy. Michael Malone just got run over by ad-read moneys.

people say companies are getting more soulless but Capital One helps me conjure happy memories of my mom and I together, by continuing to send credit card offers for her to my house even though she died 15 months ago.

I've told a lot of people over the years that on 9/11 I didn't know what to do so I walked to Rasputin on Telegraph and bought Bob Dylan's Love and Theft and Jay-Z's The Blueprint which both came out that day.
But that is a lie. I illegally downloaded the Blueprint a few weeks later.

Saw a so-so experimental new age set last night. Bless their hearts. But it took me on a mental journey of music I'd rather be listening to...that led all the way back to Mouse on Mars. Why does nobody talk about Iaora Tahiti anymore. I guess that is just how time works.

"Whatever else is true of Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me, people are appalled not by its badness but its integrity..." I'm always grateful for the cascading series of righteous truth bombs dropped by Steve Erickson in this 1992 review, including a parting shot for the ages.

I’m just happy for all these extremely limited, flawed players who get the rare life experience of playing with Steph Curry. They get to wear real uniforms and everything.

well chosen bumper stickers function today like the right band shirts did in the early aughts. only you also get to find out who's watching you park.
I recommend going with your favorite radio station, your favorite nature-y place, or something about space aliens.

should my first post be about how I bought my first pair of ice skates yesterday or about how I don't feel confident in my ability to express the whats/whys re: how bummed I am about the increasing dehumanization of everything.
I also got two sets of skate guards, hard and soft.
