and i say this as someone who would've also voted for sombr's, lola young's, and addison rae's songs. "man i need" is just too damn catchy.

"man i need" is the song of the year. no doubt about it. you can chafe. you can protest. you can hope for something darker. but that song is the catchiest god damn thing i've heard in years and a balm for 2025/2026. a karaoke hit for generations to come.

How Catherine O'Hara On "Schitt's Creek" Became One Of The Best-Dressed Characters On TV โ€œIโ€™ve worked with a lot of great costume people, but I have never enjoyed wardrobe fittings like I have on this show,โ€ Catherine Oโ€™Hara told BuzzFeed News.

one of the coolest things I ever got to do was interview Catherine Oโ€™Hara. It felt surreal to hear her voice down the phone. RIP www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davi...

What Is the Avoidant Discard and Why Does It Sound Like a Bacterial Infection? The classic slow fade got an appropriately gross-sounding rebrand.

weird story request but do YOU identify as an avoidant discard? Or no anyone else who might be?

i'd love to do an (anonymous! if you want!) interview with you for a story to try to paint a picture of your attachment style for others! DM me!

They โ€˜Had Done Everything Right.โ€™ ICE Detained Them Anyway.

We profiled refugees who:

Arrived in the country legally.

Applied for green cards.

Were arrested by ICE and detained.

One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released.

This is an unprecedented operation.

A federal judge effectively ordered the U.S. government not to cover up evidence that it illegally executed a civilian, at the request of local prosecutors seeking to investigate federal agents for murder.

Donโ€™t want to overstate things but it feels reminiscent of the run-up to the Civil War.

Colorado parents of man killed in Minneapolis urged him to be careful at ICE protests Alex Jeffrey Pretti โ€œloved this country, but he hated what people were doing to it,โ€ his father said from Colorado.

โ€œHe cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening...He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.โ€
