I was once gifted a subscription to the Atlantic and the first issue had a David Frum cover story with a headline wondering how much immigration was too much. I asked to not have it renewed bc it is embarrassing to have shit like this come in the mail

Holy fuckin' shit! Yacht Rock's pilot episode screened for Channel 101 over 20 years ago. I remember watching all the new episodes as they kept afloat for another month & I never would've guessed it would grow into what it is today. It definitely deserved all the fandom it's garnered over the years.

This is a MAJOR point in favor of Joe Burrow
I always post this but it’s always complementary. To my knowledge Joe Burrow is one of the very few millionaire professional athletes who isn’t a piece of shit but he does love the movie Pootie Tang so well here we are.

We need to bring physical media back in a big way. It’s great we can get what we want on digital, sure, but how am I going to organize my Blu-ray’s by genre and then alphabetically without hard copies?

why it's almost like there's a concerted assault on informed consensus by extraction class owned media conglomerates to replace what was left of U.S. political journalism with lazy controversy hounding infotainment and right wing and corporatist agitprop
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Why the fuck do these people think so many of us MOVED TO BIG CITIES IN THE FIRST PLACE
it’s ironic how nothing makes you sound more like you live in a weird little bubble than when you make the bizarre assumption that liberals in big cities have never interacted with a conservative before
The educated liberal big city US folks outraged at Trump's renovation of Lincoln bathroom really need to scroll some Facebook of their less established relatives and friends to see what kind of aesthetic resonates with Trump's target audience.
