I miss Obama-era indie music because boy, did we have some great jams and we were happy. Especially white folks. We weren't worried about doxxing and propaganda and all that shit. We just wanted to dance to Two Door Cinema Club and Santigold and hear white women do acoustic covers of rap classics.

I haven't said anything here because I have too MUCH to say, like a whole essay's worth of thoughts and feelings, and that's a lot to subject you all to—plus All You Can Ever Know is one of the many books affected by the sale, and I've been told nothing. I am, to be real, sick with anxiety over it.

Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse: "She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"

The scary thing about living in this world is that I am a firm believer that there is a thing as going too low, and unfortunately there are people who don't.

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is facing backlash over an ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother, urging voters not to elect her. Acton’s mother lost custody of her children after her husband was charged with sexually abusing Acton as a child.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

I worked at a pastry shop and I was told to close up when I was only a few days in. I'll never forget how dark it looked outside and there was this lone white pick up van in the back where I had to dispose of trash. I just graduated high school. I never went back.

I haven't been on X since October 2023 and I'm often shocked by how much I don't miss it, considering how the platform launched my career

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social

I left X almost exactly two years ago because of the violent, celebrated rape culture that was dominating the platform. Two years later, I’m undeniably better off, and the culture around sexual violence at large is arguably worse. I believe X has played a serious role in that.

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan
