This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
I'm going to take this engagement inducing post at face value. With humanities departments being shut down/reduced, censorship everywhere, book bans on the agenda, criticism and reviews of books in newspapers being pulled GenAI infiltrating the arts....
No. We are not.
This year’s tours are going to kill my wallet
It’s been around for a while, I’ve seen it a lot in conversations about American tourists.
On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.
For the love of all things holy, PLEASE more culture coverage
Ohhhhh that is an excellent idea
Okay what K-pop album should I write about
I say this with upmost respect to @ichotiner.bsky.social, the best political interviewer in the USA:
I do not understand why people don't hide in the Canadian wilderness whenever he requests an interview.
My guess is that either the subjects don't know him or think "I'll be the one to beat him!"
This is why this March, we are celebrating women in the entertainment business born in the year 1990. They were, apparently and quite literally born to slay.
PS: these ladies were fortunate to have sensitive parents or mothers unwilling to bend to elders or men’s pressure to not have their babies.
Honestly depressed I didn’t take home a whole tray of them
Apricot and pistachio hamantaschen on a plate
Foil pan of meat hamantaschen covered with pine nuts

Instead of hate reading some nonsense essay about gender by some very hateable fella, you could read my book full of essays that are also about gender, and labour, and death, and addiction, and music, but in a much more curious and much more fun way

Hello, book people! I am the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and speculative books coming out in the second half of the year! If you have an adult or YA SFF/H book out July-Dec (or publicist), share the link/info here!
American publishing regularly punishes women in their 50s by simply not interviewing them for new jobs in the way @saribotton.bsky.social describes here. So it’s great revenge that she launched Oldster magazine on her own, now with 70k subscribers.
Notice how accountability is happening because popular Mangaka are leading the charge, speaking out publicly, pulling their work from the publisher, and demanding immediate change?
This is the proper response to a publisher enabling creeps.
*Warning, pretty dark stuff mentioned in article*
Ohhh I should try that!
Chag Purim Sameach, I hope more Sameach

I spoke with experts about Eric Dane’s and James Van Der Beek’s campaigns, the rising trend of celebrity crowdfunding, and the history of who gets funding for medical debt and who gets left out. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult... @rollingstone.com
If you learn one thing from me, let it be that the Trader Joe’s hot honey popcorn is one of the best things ever
A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

yesterday Conde's biggest cover story of 2025 (I think it's safe to say) got nominated for an ASME: a cover story about a trans woman, produced by a team that i helped guide as a trans person. and in the 11 months since it came out, they got rid of almost all of us
