Hey Seattle Kraken crowd, there are only supposed to be five players on the ice per team at one time. It's like, the rules. Again, brush up on your hockey knowledge. What are you booing for?

Hey, dumbasses in the Seattle Kraken corner booing right now. Once the puck is covered and the whistle blows, the play is over. Stop booing and learn how hockey works.

Hangin’ with my doll Luna waitin’ for the jets game! ❤️🐈‍⬛🏒 #catdad #GoJetsGo

For coming from a party that loves to crow about supporting small business, Trump’s cuts to the ACA are the biggest attack on small business people imaginable

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

The Onion brings the truth.

It’s time to chuck Schumer

Hey Anaheim crowd — offside is offside.
First time watching hockey, or what?

The centre doesn’t hold.
It folds.

Primary Schumer.
Primary the caving cowards.
History doesn’t remember those who kept their heads down.

How many times do they need to be compensated for not lifting a finger?
Where’s that “freedom and liberty” they keep preaching to the poor? 6/

This is how democracy erodes — not in one blow, but in a thousand polite concessions.
While billionaires collect more — tax cuts, subsidies, loopholes — rewards for simply existing. 5/

Centrists don’t lead revolutions.
They manage decline.
They don’t win victories for working people — they explain why those victories are “unrealistic.”
And every time they “reach across the aisle,” the aisle moves farther right. 4/

As Tariq Ali wrote in The Extreme Centre:
“The political class has become a single entity defending capitalism while pretending to offer choice.”
It’s theatre, not leadership — a costume change between red and blue. 3/

They lose ground to the right, then celebrate it as maturity.
They hand over public wealth to corporations and call it “partnership.”
They accept cruelty as the cost of stability, then brand it “bipartisanship.” 2/

The centre doesn’t hold.

Centrists love to lose gracefully.
They call it “governing responsibly.”
They say “we all have to compromise.”
But what they really mean is: we gave up first. 1/

“This is an emergency! Get me a new haircut and swap these contacts—immediately!”

More power to you, Ms. Cyrus. 🎧

I can’t imagine growing up in the public eye the way she did, under endless misogyny and scrutiny. Much respect to a truly notable artist of our time.

For all the people who parrot those shallow Fox News rants about “the elite,” here’s the reminder: humans are still humans.

What a glorious surprise. And the song’s about making peace with her father.

4/
It hits me right in my Buckingham happy place — that propulsive Mick groove, that signature guitar tone — and Miley’s vocal absolutely holds its own.

3/
Even as a mid-era convert, this record really surprised me. Getting Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham to back her on a song that could sit comfortably on Rumours… just, wow.

2/
Honestly, I think it’s just a button that gets pushed every time certain people see anyone but a young white man take control of their career and succeed.

Wow. It’s been fascinating to watch Miley Cyrus come into her own over the years. She’s always followed her own muse — endlessly more creative than her chauvinist, ageist critics ever give her credit for.

I still get chills when he goes up at the end for “Yes, all I really want to say is that my love is true…”

Those lovely keyboard rhythms, with that minimalist harmonic pulse, bring this to a level where it could have appeared on The Blue Nile’s Hats.

Absolute bliss.

Once it hits that bridge, I tend to listen from there to the end over and over again. This is how we wore our cassettes in our Walkmans out in the eighties.

Parked Cars has been on repeat lately — for hours at a time. Pure, simple, romantic, harmonic blue-eyed soul joy.

Stephen Bishop has written so many lovely songs, but this may be my favourite (though It Might Be You would also qualify).

So many people tuned in to the premiere of Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus that Apple TV actually crashed last night.

Mine froze near the end, and for a second I thought it was intentional. It fit the moment perfectly.

It’s so damned good. Vince is a genius.
