If you were completely blown away by the newest Heated Rivalry like I was, here is your reminder to watch Letterkenny. JUST FUCKING WATCH IT. It’s raunchy as fuck, but so god damn lovable and queer-friendly.
Thank you Jacob Tierney!!!

Everything is so shitty now. I hate literally every good and service I use so much. Every device. Every app. Every streamer. Every website. Even most of my chirpy and ineffective appliances.

I waited for months to grudgingly install iOS26 & macOS26. Liquid Glass is so much worse than I feared. They have totally ruined their OSes. I know the criminally shitty design chief who has been fucking all of us since Ive left is now leaving for Facebook. But Tim Cook still deserves all the blame.

Why in the FUCK is Apple convinced that whatever I am doing I need to be interrupted to let me know that my fucking Airpods are fully charged? Like how does a company get to the point where nobody stands up and makes that shit an opt-in setting? The arrogance and ineptitude are staggering.

JFC iOS26 is a nightmare. Not a single new idea. It just makes everything about using my phone 17% worse.

Has The xx’s debut album always sounded this limp and dull?

Enshittification Watch: Google cramming unwanted AI features into every interface and making them impossible to turn off. I am perfectly capable of noticing the open slots when scheduling a meeting. I do not need overlapping green boxes to show me. I am not a fucking moron, but Gemini sure is.

You know how gay people on the street will do the nod to other gay people? Well, mustache guys do the same thing. You can imagine how exhausting it is for me to walk through Logan Square.

Good luck to the new Teen Vogue in its quest to cover issues teens really care about, like how to burn a cross
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

As I remember London
As soon as I was old enough to travel on my own, London was where I wanted to go. Compared to Copenhagen at the time, there was something so majestic about Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and even the Tube...

I just need to stop looking up to straight men. Period.
It was bad enough finding out Joss Whedon was actually Spike in "Seeing Red" all along. And that Neil Gaiman really identified w/ Richard Madoc & not Calliope.
Watching DHH chase the rest of the tech industry into hyper-capitalist fascism is just the icing on the cake.

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.
One thing that I think some not-youngs forget (and is different from 20 years ago) is that Kirk used his ‘debates’ to generate video that could go viral and, to use an old phrase, catapult the propaganda. His debates weren’t in any way, shape, or form educational.
When Charlie Kirk, who put together lists of professors he didn't like so people could target & harass them, used the phrase "free speech", he used it in the same way creationists use "teach the controversy." For Kirk, it was just another way to bludgeon the left and also to promote his propaganda.
