Annoying final game of the season for the Saints, but a lot to like in the 2nd half of the season. This team is winning the division next season. #WHODAT

Alabama, Oklahoma, and yes…Ohio State are far worse teams than Notre Dame. None could have beaten the Notre Dame that finished the season. None would have come close.
Maybe Alabama and Oklahoma didn’t belong in the playoffs and Notre Dame did?

Very late to the last SML record, "How You Been," and if I wasn't it surely would have been near the top of my albums of 2025. Ridiculously good.

The corporate media continues to minimize elite complicity in this administration’s cruel policies. This is not a nameless Ninja Turtle. This is Michaelangelo. Name and shame these guys!

As far as I can tell, GOUT is exacerbated by large amounts of red meat, seafood, and alcohol. And I don't know how we are not in the midst of a National Gout Epidemic every year between December 24 - 31.

«Rydstrom was not a stylish player, by his own admission. He once wrote in a blog: Our goalkeeper has a friend who thinks of me when he has sex with his girlfriend. He thinks of me to delay ejaculation. That’s how unsexy my style of play is.»

There might not be a better thing on planet earth than how Romanisti treat our legends. De Rossi is welcomed and cheered like a beloved son by the entire Stadio. The entire team stays out during an extended standing ovation to DDR. Awesome stuff.

Not very nice what Roma did to De Rossi’s Genoa, but it’s a necessary result.

This is so funny especially considering Politico, Axios, and every brain dead performative centrist in media was tripping all over themselves to exalt Youngkin as a "reasonable and moderate Republican." Meanwhile, anyone who paid attention to his actual words and deeds saw right through him.

It’s so funny that the thread this AEI fellow links to includes a few Free Press “debates.” There is no self awareness in those who defend Weiss. No context. Just utter hackery throughout. To be honest, very on brand for AEI.

This is damn excellent. I absolutely loved Fading Frontier and Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared and felt like Deerhunter was entering their most interesting phase and then....silence. Please come back!
Happy Boxing Day! I wrote about why Deerhunter were the greatest indie rock band of their generation (despite Bradford Cox hating “indie rock”), why I barely covered them in my book about indie’s mainstream glow-up, and how badly I want them to come back:
Deerhunter Hated "Indie Rock" And Were The Greatest Indie Rock Band Of Their Generation
The latest B-side from my book SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS examines Bradford Cox and friends' formidable legacy against a backdrop of indie rock gentrification
