I make sure not to write about sports as much anymore because the second you do, everyone in the literary world designates you as the sports guy who has to only write about sports. Similar to the second you write anything about your identity as a non-white person (and often even if you don’t).

Won’t die but I’ll live on it. I gave them an honest listen because so many people were into them, and the music was bad. Which is fine. But they’re just not good.

They’re awful. I said it on Twitter and people were like “you just don’t get it” while praising that dude’s voice like it doesn’t sound like a goose being strangled. It’s like everyone’s doing it ironically.
A lot of people whose music taste overlaps with mine love this band, so I keep trying, and I just cannot get into them.
Everyone I know who is into Geese has just fallen down the rabbit hole with their obsession and I think its beautiful that every new generation gets their own Pavement

Glinda spent the whole second movie trying to get her friend to give up her fight against injustice, because she liked being liked. Great songs. Terrible character.

“Ronaldo’s presence in the White House is unsettling but hardly surprising, given that the Trump administration is overflowing with men who have been accused of assault, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., and Trump”

The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Well, it’s gotten her a big book deal and a Vanity Fair job. We find it repulsive but she’s being rewarded for it, and the other journalists are finding ways to make what she did seem cool and transgressive instead of disqualifying.
I personally would never want to become famous as “the woman who slept with a geriatric racist with a brain worm” but to each their own I guess

Infantino has to go. He’s sold the game to cozy up to Trump and whatever dictator pats him on the head. Somehow makes Blatter look like a man of courage.

It feels like racism for liberals is seen like an edgy / unfortunate opinion. Especially when it comes to the media and literary world. It might have been Malcolm Harris who said that bigotry is disqualifying on a foundational level, which I agreed with. I can’t take the person seriously after.
