@nplusonemag.com Asking for a friend (me, an idiot), but is there any way to let someone know I mistyped my email address for the bookmatch donation? I emailed GiveLively.

I am not a "tech critic". I am an antifascist, a feminist, an anticapitalist, an engineer. My criticism of tech flows from my politics and values. Not from a desire to save or destroy tech. Tech is an expression of power and that's what the whole conversation is about.

All academic sources indicate that the origin is the other way around, i.e., that the origin is English, even though the etymology is uncertain.

Louis C.K.'s set in Riyadh is going to be like, "Women want to drive cars. Women WANT to drive cars. They WANT to. You WANT to? Who wants to drive a car? I wish someone would tell me I wasn't allowed to drive a car. Please!"

I miss your podcast, the healthiest parasocial relationship ever, feeling at home listening to you and Paul talk about horror. This is one of the gems I'm thankful to you for sharing.

The crowd was mostly old 90s indie rock kids like me, and it was fun to see an alternate world where Pavement was as big as we thought they were.

I saw it with my 15 year old, who only really knew Pavement from Harness Your Hopes becoming a surprise social media hit. I was worried it wouldn't make sense to him, but he loved it.

It piggybacks on the 2002 Slow Century documentary by Lance Bangs, but takes as its conceit that Pavement is the most important band in the world, and fictionalizes a response to their great success by mashing up that past footage with a jukebox musical, a Hollywood biopic, and a museum show.

People need to learn that soccer is used wherever football rules that permit handling took precedence, which explains not just the U.S., but Ireland and Australia.

And soccer was in common use in the British press in at least the first half of the 20th century.

I think Everton's Bluesky account is managed by the recruitment team. It's just as active.

Ah, the tried and true video game strategy of signing as many young keepers as possible to create steady revenue. Wait.

Look at Forest in August 2022. I think they had about a dozen, including loans.

Those photos are from S.A.T. Soccer in Miami, where he trained with Charly Alcaraz and Thierno Barry last month. I wouldn't read too much into it, though. His contract situation is too difficult to make any deal work, Farke is open to keeping him, and he started in your recent friendly with Man U.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone did it wistfully once upon a time, just daydreaming that their hero had actually signed it.

Someone who reaches out to see if I'm interested in leading the frontend team at their shitty AI company hasn't done their homework. Maybe a chatbot did it for them.

That seems an odd thing to fake, but it looks like a fake to me, just at a glance. For one, it's misspelled "Lactford" and the second b on Bob is always lowercase, but here it's upper case. You could go into more detail if you wanted, like look at the way the loop from the o in Bob connects, etc.

How many times does Senegal have to batter Dean Henderson before Thomas Tuchel realizes Pickford is far and away the better keeper?

Bluesky's UI makes it easy to inadvertently unfollow someone. If you try to click on their handle after their display name, it's one accidental click on the unfollow button and done.

That’s true. Your dad is right. Also, I own every kind of classic car. I even have doubles of some of them.

Not looking for a punch in the face, but didn’t they send the dog one minute into the future and then just wait a minute? There was no back.

A media company that sells ad tech by recycling and padding content already published elsewhere can reveal exclusively that they too have read what Paddy Boyland said hours ago about Everton's progress on signing Thierno Barry.

Anyone else might’ve caused trouble, but Slick Rick don’t bother nobody.

It is interesting, but I think it's more phenomenological than ontological. "Not one post" (disappointed? incredulous? amused?) seems to say a lot more about how the speaker experiences the absence of posts than "zero posts" does.

Have you received a discount code from the new Forever Blue membership? I haven't seen one yet. Wrote to fan services today.
