REM's 20 greatest singles of their major-label era As chosen by Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe themselves

From the venerable UNCUT way back in 2003, a selective critical listing of the band’s mid and later-period “singles” (1988-2001). Particularly fun to see the guys’ realtime reactions to some of these songs.

The cafe au lait is something everyone sleeps on when talking about Cafe du Monde, but it’s really quite something.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

Apologize for retweeting the same article twice but - and I say this with no hint of irony - this is a pretext to the single largest, easily litigated lawsuit in human history. This is an egregious violation of IP law, law protected quite literally & specifically by the Constitution. Total insanity.

Most realistic portrayal of a married couple ever captured on film.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

Kinda wonder if this offseason is going to be Correa and Altuve sitting down with Crane and Brown for a looooooong talk about 2026.

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins
There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

Ryne Sandberg in his Cubs blues

Ryne Sandberg in his Cubs blues

Ryne Sandberg meant everything to me in baseball. My first Cubs game was June 28, 1990. I was mystified.

This was when players still exited out the back doors into the parking lot. They all looked like giants to me.

Ryno was 80’s Cubs baseball. RIP 2B.
