BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Pirating new albums is another skill lost to time.

Some important info on Kaleb Horton and his writing for MTV: as I learned, he'd reupped the Merle piece on his site earlier this year, but otherwise his 2016-2017 work there was scrubbed and long unavailable. Happily, I was able to find a Wayback link with them all. Share, read, and remember.

You’re probably sleeping on DC’s best modern BFF odd couple (and their book, too!) - Homeworld An assassin and a New God walk into a laser tag arena...

I wrote about Birds of Prey being excellent and underperforming in February, so its ending is both a gut punch and not surprising.

Still, this was an incredibly bright spot on the market, and I will always be there with bells on for more Big Barda and Batgirl.

Mets fans blaming pride night and Chappell Roan for their downfall is the best thing ever. I couldn't ask for more.

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived

RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

So fucking sick of losing my favorite co-workers to cancer. Fuck cancer every fucking day but especially every day this week.

One of my best friends rightfully deeply regrets selling his Rats off to ya. He got me into TGTTM. Somewhere I have a bass fest and a pipe camp shirt. (Also the Taumpy Tearrs episode is one of my favs!)

Still love this piece!

KISS has several songs sung from the point of view of an adult wanting to have sex with a teenager, so this all tracks.

Ok but surely you have some Ima Robot hot takes

Did you also in your research happen upon the last time they played 10 seconds down?

I feel slightly irresponsible not pointing out LJG's friend's response she posted, which puts this in a quite different light. It's silly trying to parse out situations from a parasocial perspective, but as we know from Mizzou j school, it's important to see all sides even if choosing one.

Have not seen it and everything I've read makes me feel like it's going to be bad even for a quite forgiving fan like me. Makes me really miss the Dirty Work sequel we never got and still might never have gotten if Norm lived. If it happened, you know it wouldn't be like this.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

Hate to be a buzzkill, but Google Laura Jane Grace news. Not sure what to make of it but no matter how you slice it it ain’t good

I wonder if the people doing the EGM book kickstarter where one of the perks/things being sold is the complete archive of EGM are happy about this

Will this be the time that I and everyone I follow on the other site come here for good?

Probably only using this if the other site becomes paywalled but hey I’m here now! Screw it: if you’re reading this anyway bobmcmahon.bandcamp.com
