tbh i'm making no predictions until we see how the white sox do this postseason. big east rankings depend 100% on the mandate of heaven, and after what the pope did for the nova knicks anything is possible

I think we get a decent dose of chaos in the Big East this season. Here are my 11 dart throws.

another absolute banger, and one that pairs nicely with a recently-finished Mormon Wives binge

I wrote about the end of the MAGA makeover, the aesthetic normalization of bigotry, and the mall store selling fascist sweatshirts to teenage girls. New for @theflytrapmedia.com!!

I dunno, maybe you're just an elitist pig who'll find any excuse to criticize not only the poors but the brown guy.

Lots of "I hope someone tells these proles to turn off their phones and not talk through the performance" commentary in response to NYC's Met ticket giveaway, as if theaters aren't already overrun with people who pay hundreds of dollars to leave their phones on and talk through performances.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

3. That college is about reading for “the workforce.” No, it’s about development for the adult force. Of which work is a part. 4/

The international chess Federation banned trans women from playing women's chess. CHESS. It's not about fairness. The fairness argument is intended to radicalize people into more violent forms of transphobia.

That rock skipping, yes tossing stones across a pond or river, is a gender segregated sport, should tell you something about how gendered sports are not about fairness of physical ability, and is instead about the male ego

Thesis: well paid media obsession with Campus Culture Polarization/ Civility etc is just helicopter parenting by proxy. Leave college kids alone to fuck weird peers and say stupid shit and wear stuff that looks terrible on adults. This is their right!

this is embarrassing enough to retroactively justify all the bluesky thinkpieces lmfao

To be abundantly clear - if you are generating thumbnails for your videos or art for your projects using AI, why should I assume that any of your writing, opinions, work or design are not just shite spat out by an LLM? Won't click. Won't buy. Won't work with. Fuck Off. Get. In. The. Bin.

[yanks the word “performative” out of your hands]: I warned you to be careful with this or there’d be consequences. & don’t you dare start crying.

We’re not in the habit of recognizing celebrity deaths here at 925. That said, Dolly Parton is a national treasure and some folks here joke that Dolly is our Locals patron saint. After all her song “9 to 5” is our anthem. Today we remember all the love and kindness Dolly brought the world.

(3/3) Dolly called and asked if there was any way to help with this tragedy. Abumrad replied she was on a vaccine research team but it was expensive and they were still seeking grants. When Dolly heard this she replied "Well I have money" and donated $1m. Abumrad's team produced the Moderna vaccine.
