I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

These emails between Michael Wolff and Epstein strategizing on how to help Woody Allen’s image in the wake of Dylan Farrow’s CSA allegations are just stunning.

For years, advertising has been how Stereogum made money to pay its writers. While we made progress moving away from that model, Google AI search has decimated the business almost overnight. Today we relaunch with a greater focus on subscription. We’d love your support: stereogum.com/2478838/ster...

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.
Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

Donald Trump has pardoned former Army Ranger Cameron Poe, convicted in 1989 of a federal manslaughter charge in Mobile, Alabama. Poe served 8 years in federal prison and was paroled in 1997. Today’s pardon restores his military rank, giving him access to his Army pension and a military burial.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
