This was a @scottgum.bsky.social jam but I agree!

Episode 176: The One About 'Such Great Heights' with Chris DeVille The Stereogum managing editor joins us to discuss his debut book, which explores the 2000s, "indie" music, and how culture and technology shaped the scene

I was excited to go on The Brian Lennon show to talk about the many threads of my book SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS (plus a little football)

A Nurse Who Served Veterans Was Killed. Where You At, Country Music? I'm not going to lie to you, newsletter readers: it's hard to newsletter "normally" today, though, to be fair, I could almost say that about any day for the last near decade. Outside my window, the to...

A Nurse Who Served Veterans Was Killed. Where You At, Country Music???

After rocky start, Bari Weiss to cut staff, add commentators at CBS News CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss came in with a mandate to reshape coverage. She is set to announce plans for newsroom cuts and the hiring of many new commentators.

The Bari Weiss plan is for CBS News to employ fewer reporters charged with finding things out and more (right-skewing) commentators charged with telling them what to think. Same playbook Wash Post is using. www.npr.org/2026/01/27/n...

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Weird that hiring away a few checked-out Tory alcoholics from British dailies and emphasizing op eds about Why Your Boss Deserves A Tax Cut didn't deliver better results but what can you do? What, at the end of the day, can you do?

By far the most surreal part of that statement is the part where he talks about finding help for his mental issues on Reddit. Can you imagine you’re a normal person venting about being bipolar on Reddit and literally Kanye is on the other end of the computer being like “damn that’s just like me fr”

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Pick Heard Round the World Ten years ago, the Super Bowl ended in the most unlikely of ways thanks to the most unlikely of players. For Malcolm Butler, that was just the beginning of a roller-coaster career.

If you're a sportswriter seeking Malcolm Butler this week, you should know that Ringer H'wood Bureau Chief @alansiegella.bsky.social already found him. www.theringer.com/2025/02/05/n...

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

“Tyranny is execution followed by a press release”

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

I love it when people ask questions like this to try to trap people. We had a whole bunch of requirements that moved people to vaccinate their children and they've been slowly dismantled by kooks! You don't need to vaccinate at gunpoint, just bring back the requirements!

I was gonna write this but I'm so glad Tom did bc he smashed it and my piece would have been more like "overrated innit"

Arctic Monkeys' 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' Turns 20 “It’s an old story. You’ve heard it before. It goes like this: There ain’t no love here. No Montagues. No Capulets. Instead, it’s banging tunes. DJ sets. Dirty dancefloors. Dreams of naughtiness. The ...

Wrote about the generational hype vortex of the first Arctic Monkeys album, which is now the same age that Alex Turner was when it came out.

Chairlift's 'Moth' Turns 10 Looking back on a launchpad for Caroline Polachek and Patrick Wimberly.

It cannot possibly be true that the last Chairlift album came out 10 years ago, but here is @abbyfjones.bsky.social with the retrospective to prove it. "Romeo" and "Crying In Public" are perfect songs.

this whole thing is about the dumbest athlete stanning ive ever seen in my life

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels.

Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

The moment we've all been waiting for: Fernando Mendoza's "Here's What I Learned From Winning a National Championship" LinkedIn post

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

WaPo Breaking News Trump asks for 'immediate negotiations' to acquire Greenland, says he does not intend to use force to gain territory WSJ Live Updates Trump said the U.S. won't use force to take Greenland NYT Trump Speech at Davos President Trump called for immediate talks to acquire Greenland, but said he "won't use force" to obtain it. 40m ago

What if the push alerts were “Trump stumbles through major speech, not knowing the diff between Iceland/Greenland; rants about political enemies (both real and imagined); as world watches in horror” instead of this?

This album and Rabbit Fur Coat coming out within a week of each other feels significant

Having Meta platforms flooded with this kind of misinformation is a choice. Mark Zuckerberg chose this.

If Indiana can do it, we can do it It’s the greatest story in college football history. Maybe hope and belief aren't so naive.

got fully in my feelings about Indiana winning the national championship, the greatest story in college football history.
