I have grown semi-frustrated by cis critics writing about I Saw the TV Glow in a way that either sidelines or ignores the film's transness, even in pieces I otherwise loved. So I wrote about it! On the film's ending, nostalgic poison, and egg cinema! www.vulture.com/article/the-...

I Saw the TV Glow’s Ending Is Full of Hopewww.vulture.com There’s a way to read the end of Jane Schoenbrun’s masterful new movie as grim, even nihilistic. But you must actively choose to see it that way.

i can't stop thinking about it. it was so incredibly precisely close to home for me that i'm kind of in the midst of a little tiny baby dissociation event

anyway for every related take you consume from a male sports generalist you need to read at least three pieces from people who covered women's sports pre-caitlin

The Liberty return back to action tomorrow afternoon vs. the Dream. How exactly did they fall to the Lynx in the #CommissionersCup championship? Turnovers, stubbornness in playing through JJ and adjusting to Sloot and B back in the lineup. More below for @thenext.bsky.social: ⬇️

The young woman who got meme’d for eating ice cream at the CWS has spoken out, and she’s saying everything I and so many other women feel. I hope the ESPN camera op, producer, director, and higher ups for the Men’s College World Series are deeply ashamed. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNY4CAqB/

If you want to understand the origins and solutions of the American homelessness problem, a really important starting point is to understand that the problem mostly exists in places where *there are lots of jobs and the labor market is really strong,* not in economically depressed areas.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Private ownership in the American major leagues pits fan against fan, city against city, and profit against community interests. My latest explores if it must be that way while chronicling the history of municipalities trying to get their hands on the ball www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/pub...

if you can't get a hold of Hochul, take a minute to dial up Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer and yell at them too.

For those wondering: It’s currently a 20-minute hold time at Gov. Hochul’s office if you want to call and tell a human being how embarrassing her last-minute effort to kill congestion pricing is.

Call and email every elected official you have if you live in NY. I have managed to talk to a human being at every office except Schumer’s. Hakeem Jeffries’ office was very receptive to my concerns.

From the sound of things it was basically Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer who pushed Hochul into backing down, not that she didn't hear from other people, of course. You can call their offices to let them know what you think. Jeffries: (718) 237-2211 Schumer: (212) 486-4430

if anyone needs a template: "Gov. Hochul, I am extremely troubled by reports you are considering delaying implementing congestion pricing in New York City over concerns about the upcoming election. Our City badly needs the revenue from congestion pricing to upgrade our public transit and

If you care about this, and you should, give Gov. Hochul a call at 518-474-8390. If that's busy (and they're saying 90 minute wait times on the line) send her a fax at 518-474-3767 using faxzero.com like I did. Maybe do both!

The Texas Rangers — the only MLB team without a Pride Night — have changed their website banner. Here are screenshots from May 29 vs. today. “Run it Back” has given way to “Straight Up Texas” At best, it’s really unfortunate timing. At worst, it feels antagonistic.

if you are a giant homophobe you can just be a better person and not be one, but if you somehow can’t do that, you can very easily mute or ignore things that make you mad instead of having a meltdown on main over there not being straight person recognition month or whatever

This is AMAZING — a map in the Paris town hall of the schools, and the corresponding “#SchoolStreets” that have transformed car spaces to kid places next to schools as part of the larger #Paris project of making the city more walkable and enjoyable for everyone. Via @EmmanuelSPV
