This person, my son, earned a Pulitzer Prize. If he gave it to me, it would still be his. I am a rational person who fully realizes that i did not earn a Pulitzer Prize.

( of course i wouldn’t accept it)

@andrewhickey.500songs.com Sticking the Jimmy Cliff ep on in the kitchen as I make the kids’ tea has helped a tired man get into an end of term state of mind. Thank you.

I posted on Facebook about my daughter dragging me to the mall two days ago. Look what Google's AI turned the post into for click bait.

WTF is happening to the Internet, man? Seriously. And my post had NOTHING to do with my disability (I'm also NOT a "lower limb amputee).

To add to this, it’s interesting how the 15 yr old boys are not appropriate partners for 15 yr old girls. As someone who was a 15 yr old girl, it’s very flattering to have attention from adult men, right up to the point where you realize you want to say no.
People are making their jokes but this is white Christian culture writ large. Women, girls alike are raised to understand that men goes after young girls because its their sex that makes them virtuous and their pursuit is just a natural thing that happens. Boys will be boys, men will be men etc.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

I do like how American names can be just anything.
I refuse to believe this is a real name
US Politics is full of people like that. Here’s the state treasurer of Alabama.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

not to repeat the obvious but: if they are doing this to one of the most famous Western activists alive, imagine what they are doing to the people whose names we will never know

3 classic albums. No skips. Love songs. Liberation songs. Sensual songs. Fun songs. Black ass music. 51 is too young. D'Angelo can't be gone.

Heartbreaking: Neo-soul legends Angie Stone and D’Angelo both passed away in 2025, just 7 months apart. Stone died in March at 63. D’Angelo died today at 51. They shared a son together. An entire generation’s soundtrack, gone. Rest in power to both 🕊️💔

Funny thing, ending on a Monday. I’m sure it was a choice.

From someone who has listened to every single episode (few voices I’ve listened to more) bless you and thank you, Marc Maron. #wtf

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Mocking hen like this is totally the way to go. Calling them fascists and monsters makes them happy. Calling them weird will always make them upset. Question their manhood and mock them for being shitty fathers. This stuff. Trust me. It will get to them.
