I'm looking to interview some non-American musicians or bands who've decided not to tour in the U.S. this year because of ICE. Please hit my DMs if you are willing to chat about this decision.

Nick Fuentes Fandom is the most effective birth control to ever exist.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

"Harold and Maude is the cinematic equivalent of The Velvet Underground & Nico and in this essay I will...."
Harold and Maude is a movie that speaks specifically to its time, but which I mean any time between 1971 and forever. Rest In Peace, Bud Cort.

We can safely sort Geese and Cameron Winter into Dude Woke, I feel.
Bad Bunny being a “hey I don’t really care, I’ll fuck whoever, maybe I’ll fuck guys one day idk” guy means we’re bringing back dude-woke. Brocialism rides again.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Any chance that, say, just $1 million or $3 million or $4 million or $7 million of the $75 million spent on the “Melania” vanity project could have been used to preserve some reporting spots at the Washington Post?
