One journalist pet peeve TO ME is I hate the use of “exclusive”s for announcements of someone’s death (not that I expected differently from tabloids but still)

'First Wives Club' and More, Dies at 79 (Exclusive)”

Douthat is laundering hard core white Christian supremacy into the mainstream, with the NYT's blessing.

Max Kennerly @maxkennerly.bsky.social · 23h

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

I'm going to start calling essays like this "odes to whiteness" because the underlying premise is that they are like this because they don't anticipate any social cost to smelling bad.

This one is v. frustrating because it tries to lump in perfumes with the broader (problematic) beauty industry

I’m turning 50 next year. I rarely wear deodorant anymore. Many women I know have stopped, too. We don’t talk about it, but I catch it in the air — a faint musk of onion, goat, curry, mustard, salt, sage, fennel, ozone, and the muddy wet marrow of the earth itself. I’m kind of obsessed with this collective stink: the animal symphony of skin, of women being women, punk and unfiltered, taking up space with their scent. Raw, unapologetic BO. The more I live among it, the more I see it not as a hygiene failure but as a radical act of self-acceptance. It’s not polite, but it’s honest — and that feels hot. Hotter, even, than anything a Guess ad ever promised.

An update from WGN on Debbie Brockman: "Earlier today, a WGN-TV creative services employee was detained by ICE. She has since been released, and no charges were filed against her. Out of respect for her privacy, we will have no further statements about this incident.”

This morning, masked Border Patrol agents violently pinned a longtime WGN-TV producer to the ground after detaining another unidentified male in Chicago, eventually arresting her and hauling her off in an unmarked silver van.

SVU relies on contrivance but this one takes the cake. "We need the victim to be a 16 year old actress who in universe plays a jailbait undercover underage cop but we can't literally depict that on NBC so 22 year old Maggie Grace is playing her which WHY WOULDN'T THEY DO THAT IN UNIVERSE INSTEAD"

Meanwhile, not long after the CBS-QVC deal was announced, there was fierce speculation that Disney might want to step in and buy CBS instead. It didn’t—but of course, it *was* interested in the network TV business. In 1995, it announced plans to buy ABC parent Capital Cities.

Charlie Kirk was an antisemite, racist misogynist, and human rights in America will now start to heal without his influence dragging us further into immorality.

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/
