I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

This isn't just for protection of today's target of choice for right wing extremists. It also stands for real journalism and truth when other news sources are being sold like roadside beef. It should be ENOUGH to try to protect Trans voices but it also protects the rest of us. Please take a look.

This is my first time watching Ilja Dragunov wrestle, and if the only possible quibble I can find is that he could use a different haircut, then he's doing pretty damn good. #AEWDynamite

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

Remember when Tony Schiavonne and Britt Baker were besties? Pepridge Farm remembers.... #AEWDynamite

i actually really hate that everyone's been adding nazi and/or incel vocabulary to their lexicon to seem more cool makes everyone on the internet nowadays sound like 12 yr old big ass losers but you cant say shit without being called too woke

I turned 42 and shortly after developed hip issues and a corresponding limp. Seriously: What the fuck????

Glad to see this post go somewhat viral, not enough people know about how non-transparent Canadian institutions are. This is a good place to learn more, from the Globe and Mail, though it doesn't include the stonewalling that often come from comms agencies www.secretcanada.com

This is a publicly funded government agency refusing to share weather warnings and their own public warnings with a journalist at Global News, one of the larger mainstream news outlets in Canada. I really want you to sit with the bare facts of that.

This week I’m joined by Sean Frasier, the founder and head of Wise Blood Records. We covered everything from the label giving a start to bands like Castle Rat and Mother Of Graves, to Wise Blood Records’ classic slogan “Our riffs are mean. We’re not.” 👉 mostlyyelling.substack.com/p/wise-blood...

I caught up with Mother Of Graves guitarist Chris Morrison to talk about the band’s brand new album The Light That Keeps Us, which I’d wager is their best (and saddest) effort to date, our love of Edge Of Sanity, the magic that is Dan Swanö, and more! 👉 mostlyyelling.substack.com/p/mostly-yel...

This is deeply troubling.

should have included this in my official post election analysis tbh

I have heard the phrase “silent majority” invoked twice this month as a reason to do something and once was by the Mayor of Vancouver for his plebiscite on drug use and the other was by John Cena to Foghorn Leghorn as a reason why ACME should get to explode the Looney Tunes

Lots of talk about how Alberta’s separatist movement is driven by rural hillbillies and conspiratorial convoy types Important to remember this stuff is also pushed by wealthy business types who hang out at Calgary’s Petroleum Club:

NEW: Previously unseen video shows Danielle Smith worried Alberta separatism was gaining traction with Calgary business elites Smith told conservative conference separatist grievances were resonating with ‘establishment business people’, not just ‘the cranky grassrooties’

I propose that we make the Canadian Senate an Indigenous led institution. Don’t let the PM decide and don’t have phoney senate elections like Alberta does. Let Indigenous groups appoint senators to provide the sober second thought. (I can already hear heads exploding!)

Is it fair to say that Queen Aminata currently executes the best headbutts in wrestling? #AEWWrestleDream

What do a Young Bucks PPV match and Jojo's Bizarre Adventures have in common? They should have ended at least four times before they actually finish. #AEWWrestleDream

I applaud Alex Shelley's commitment to swoopy, Skrillex-esque hairstyles. I do not applaud the AEW Live Audience's insistence on using "bald" as some kind of taunting chant even as it is repeatedly no-sold due to the inanity of it. #AEWTailgateBrawl

This should be a cold take: The Wallflowers have the best cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" that's been recorded to date.

The FBI plans to have UFC fighters train its federal agents. Many of those fighters are affiliated to Trump or to FBI director Kash Patel. Others are repped by MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz, a former FBI informant with ties to the Trump admin. My latest: www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/o...

I'm not the only one who thinks this video's a fake designed to pump Tesla's stock prices, am I? Like, were any actual journalists there to verify this or do we just supposed to believe a video put out by Elon Musk? I need a lot more due dilligence from y'all

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Is it just me, or has the internet completely ruined some people's ability to the tell the difference between being impressed by something and being horny for it?

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...
