The new Vanity Fair editor sought to make his magazine less woke and some of his first moves were hiring Olivia Nuzzi, publishing an abstract nude of Nuzzi by a person now alleged to have made illegal recordings on her behalf, and putting only men in the Hollywood issue

Really enjoy how I started watching a lot of football to give me something to concentrate on other than our descent into fascism and now I’m overtired and miserable on a Friday morning because of the Buffalo goddamned Bills. (Maybe this makes me a real Bills fan, tho? Misery unites the mafia?)

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Meat raffles are one of my favorite weird-ass things about Buffalo. (Even if I spent hundreds of bucks at my last one and didn't win anything, not even one case of everyone's favorite pizza logs.)
We got a video submitted to us on our Instagram of the Buffalo MACTION Meat Raffle.
A women in a turkey costume holding a rack of ribs at a football game. Just beautiful.

David Herzberg had an amazing op-ed in the New York Times a few days ago! #histmed
UB History Prof Herzberg's excellent op-ed shows how appeals to a mythological American past, unspoiled by dangerous illegal drugs, are used to justify the current administration's "lethal kinetic strikes" on suspected drug trafficking vessels. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...

I'm still thinking about the "quiet, piggy" comment like many other people. How does any man in 2025 get away with such a thing without having his face immediately caved in by a fury of fists?

This is such a routine story at this stage, including the second act: "my friends turned on me when I betrayed our shared ideals - so much for the tolerant left."
"Random Person Leaves the Left" is never not front page news on The Free Press.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
