I push buttons on a keyboard connected to a computer and then the numbers associated with my money get bigger for a period of time. It’s way rad. He/him/his

If you're still on substack, you are letting techbro dildos use your left-leaning journalism to launder right-wing extremism and it's just a terrible idea. You should stop doing that

We’re a queer, disabled couple and we need just $70 now by Monday for urgent bills. My paycheck only covers rent, and we’re struggling to stay afloat. Any help, even sharing, would mean so much.

@frontofficesports.bsky.social is the shilliest of shills for capital in the sports entertainment industry. You'd find more objectivity about an industry at an ExxonMobil investor meeting.

Shannon Sharpe Out at ESPN After Settling Sexual Assault Lawsuit Shannon Sharpe, the former NFL star who was a commentator on ESPN's 'First Take,' will not return to the show. The decision comes after he settled a sexual assault lawsuit filed by an ex-girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Pat McAdouche is still on the air for @espn.com regularly. It tells you a lot about who ESPN is willing to bend over backwards to protect and who it won't do the same for variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Only the @nytimes.com could frame Israel's genocide of Palestinians as "the war" and pat itself on the back for doing so, like "the war" is an invasive species that latched onto a boat.

Oh no, we found some more war. I guess we have to starve a sick kid now. Hands are tied.

A member of the LGBTQIA+ community refusing to defend trans kids is inexcusably heinous. I hope you enjoy your fleeting political points with bigots who are ultimately going to hate you regardless, Pete. It wasn't worth it.

Spurs’ arena taxpayers cost could reach $1B, local media says this won’t cost taxpayers anything San Antonio Spurs owner Peter Holt proposed a plan late last week that would require the public to cover between $700 million and $1 billion of the cost of a new $1.2-1.5 billion arena, and how did th...

One San Antonio reporter pointed to a chart and said "this doesn't come from your tax money, this doesn't come from your tax money, this doesn't come from your tax money," a funny way of describing a pie chart where two slices are literally tax money.

When the @nwslsoccer.com says one of its franchises "could have done more" to provide a safe workplace, it's admitting that the league has zero true oversight authority. "Could have done more" is PR-speak for "What you did was wrong, but we like your money, so we hope you will just be nicer."

Terps' Locksley: Lost locker room amid pay divide Maryland coach Mike Locksley admitted Tuesday he "lost" the locker room in 2024 over which players to compensate.

If you're not madder at Gavin Newsom for trying to normalize transphobia like JK Rowling Jr. than you are at trans people for saying that won't ever vote for that shit, you hate trans people, or are at least indifferent to their suffering. And you should fix your heart.

Ranking as the worst for working conditions in a league where every franchise exploits its athletic labor is quite an accomplishment

It feels like the plan is to have the women’s club play at Anfield twice a year as a façade of “investment” while spending as little as possible on the women’s club the other 363/364 days of the year then cite a “lack of on-field success” as an excuse for not spending to acquire/keep talent.

The two parties aren’t the same. In this situation, the difference is that Democrats will strip away your rights to bodily autonomy while also sending you an email asking you to donate $5 in celebration of Pride Month.

On my way to hate watch Jurassic Afterbirth. I hope everyone involved in making this shit sandwich of an abomination was extremely well-compensated for their labor.

Please just ignore anything related to the new Harry Potter show. Do not give it your time or attention. If you see something about it, remember that part of every dollar it earns is used to hurt real trans people.

To some degree, yes, it’s a no ethical consumption under capitalism thing. However, sportsball entertainment isn’t a necessity. Fun? Maybe. It’s difficult to fully enjoy when it’s tainted by league decisions and owners being what they always will be until there are significant consequences, though.
