I know that saying The Cure were the best show I saw in 2019 makes me sound like a 30-year-old who’s hit early “boomer-hood”, but Robert Smith’s voice has not aged in 40 years, and the rest of the band sounds as good as ever. They were in full festival mode this year with less variation than usual between shows, but…

This is gonna be the most cathartic bracket ever. Immediately after voting I was filled with a feeling of peace and weightlessness, albeit temporarily. I guess imagining a world without YouTubers really was that therapeutic!

I am so glad Florida Project made it so high up. That movie still messes me up every time i think about it.

“But it is a heavy burden. So heavy that none could lay it on another. I do not lay it on you. But if you take it freely, I will say that your choice is right; and though all the mighty elf-friends of old, Hador, and Húrin, and Túrin, and Beren himself were assembled together your seat should be among them.”

As progressives, we need big ideas with big solutions. Like abolishing the undemocratic institutions of the Electoral College and Senate.

Excellent. I love that she was celebrated (which she deserves) and when Kavanaugh made his first public speech, the amazing people at We Demand Justice looped her testimony on a giant screen outside where everyone attending had to see it, had women dressed as handmaiden’s where people had to walk past them to enter,…

So I am white, hetero, and cis-gendered. I did not grow UP insulated by wealth in any way.

Clearly, the winner here is Gen X for absenting ourselves from this slapfight.

Why did the 90's not get an illustration? Are we just expected to go look up YouTube videos of Lisa Loeb and mentally place them in the article?

Leaving Agrestic should have been the end. It never worked once they left the original premise behind.

Luke and Leia’s theme from RotJ has always been one of my favorite pieces of his from any of the movies and it’s never gotten a lot of attention. He doesn’t do it very often at concerts and I’ve always thought it was criminal that George didn’t use it when the twins were born in Revenge of the Sith. So when Luke…

I’m the opposite, I need even numbers. The thermostat, volume on the TV and such. We all have our quirks. 

I take an Iyengar yoga class where adjustments are sometimes done. Prior to the class starting, the instructor will inform students that when adjustments are necessary, s/he will ask students if they’re comfortable with that. When the opportunity arises, the instructor will discreetly request permission from the…

An educated, informed populace is a threat to authoritarian regimes, and less easy to control. Free access to information is also a threat. Librarian here.

The British press will never get over the facts that 1) Meghan is black and 2) She didn’t (and doesn’t) need the Royals to make her famous. Anyone marrying into the royal family is supposed to be so incredibly thankful for the chance to be associated with them that they give their entire future to The Country. They’re…

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

The book is about NBC killing the story and Farrow trying to get it published.

Squat and crunch endlessly with her pink kettlebell and yoga ball. These are fun, right? Exercise is self-care, especially when the equipment is whimsical. Keep squatting and crunching until your body aches but your mind is quiet.

You’ll get no argument from me singing the praises of Whip-Smart. Or whitechocolatespaceegg, for the matter.

She showed guts removing confederate flags and references from her properties as well.
