Rauw Alejandro Takes a Spin Around the Caribbean Puerto Rican hitmaker Rauw Alejandro offers wide-ranging tour of Caribbean music on his latest LP.

NEW: If "Cosa Nuestra" was another side of the coin to what "DTmF" offered, "Capítulo 0" raises the value of that currency even more. It’s an excellent expansion of the conversation that, to no one’s surprise, Rauw manages to make great music too.

All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

TIL there's a huge major comedy show in Saudi Arabia happening and also that Zach Woods remains a king

ah, well

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

I think it’s totally consistent with an information environment in which attention, not the ballot, gets treated as the purest representation of the public will.

This. A true accounting of where a lot of the responsibility lies.

I don’t disagree with the point being made here, but also they do this like every three weeks. They were calling for Civil War about the Cracker Barrel logo.

Nice to see that the relationship has gone public

this is the way rich people think about health insurance

Bad Bunny urges Puerto Ricans to own their rhythm in emotional hometown show On the opening Friday night of his Puerto Rico residency, Bad Bunny rallied locals — and LeBron James — with new songs from his sensational 2025 album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos."

NEW: I went to the opening night show of Bad Bunny's San Juan residency and wrote about about witnessing an artist in full command of his talents. He entertained thousands and fearlessly weaved a message about identity, history, and culture.

the fact that these people can only write like they're losing when they're winning huge reveals such a sad inner life, man. shunned by who, you miserable fuck!!!!

As he wrapped up his speech, Brad Lander again congratulated Mamdani, whom he cross-endorsed. And Lander, who is Jewish, declared, "We are not going to let anyone divide Muslim New Yorkers and Jewish New Yorkers."

♥️

"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!

Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything. Is That Bad?

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

This is like watching gangrene work its way up a limb and consume a cancerous tumor.

It doesn’t solve anything and it definitely doesn’t change anything but it is kind of nice to know that he knows that his big macho honk honk birthday parade sucked

this is such a good representation of American Christianity

Boy George wrecking JK Rowling

lmao get her

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader.

This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent.

If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

Billboard featuring Mickey Mouse saying read marx

Someone defaced the Silverlake Disney billboard and Mickey is telling people to read Marx

True of writing books too.

And what are Dems doing now? They're pushing out all the younger members like David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta for actually trying to bring young people into the party. It's political suicide.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection.

Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

ai has already kind of materially ruined the basic act of looking at pictures
