There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

Whoever it is that transcribes all my videos on Fandom wikis seems to have given up after more than a decade, and that makes me very sad, having a transcript of all my stuff has been very useful for me

No matter how many times I ask who Ethan Klein is, my brain deletes the answer. It's trying to protect me

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Even funnier is this anecdote is in the service of selling you A.I. For Girls

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Of all of David Naughton's acting roles, I have to say my favorite was his episode of Seinfeld where he played "guy who instantly hates Jerry Seinfeld"

I got that dog with a blog in me

The flipside being stuff that probably doesn't need one like BORIS, a band without a lineup change since the late 90s, that's three people, previously four. Radiohead, having never had a lineup change, don't have one...

you know a band is good when there's a chart like this on their Wikipedia page

As a side note, these charts are one of Wikipedia's greatest inventions

The issue that matters most.

Amydog brought me: a ball

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

With Tom Skerritt I'll always think of this super-zoomed-in shot from his lone scene in 'Singles,' where he politely-but-firmly turns down Campbell Scott's Seattle Supertrain proposal. Not a lot of actors would be this immediately recognizable/unforgettable just from the bottom half of their face.

And as a Patreon bonus episode exclusive, we also had @maggiemaefish.bsky.social on the pod to help us understand "Mamma Mia!", a movie which split the podcast in half www.patreon.com/songvssong/p...

it’s true, i saw DNCE at the U.S. Open. this is the same show where i decided that you should have the ability to tell who else is high on marijuana in a crowd….like everyone should wear the same green hat

One thing I think we're going to be grappling with for the next few years is the way in which "group optimization" for things like recommendations runs up against the unsavory sense that an LLM has created the content, poisoning even the basic concept of aggregated results

R.I.P. John Anderson, a great

My favorite thing about Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes is that she's always doing something extremely weird with her jaw and mouth in every scene
