such a well reported story worth a read to these people brave enough to come forward in this misogynistic chef culture that continually rewards bad men by insulating them (cough cough Batali)
• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa. Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really

Sating my Brahms No. 4 earworm with the magnificent Solti/Chicago Symphony version. Because duh. A completely satisfying reading of this masterpiece doesn't exist, but this one is closer than any. Plus that legendary CSO brass.

In reality, though I celebrate its bursting into vibrant life like a national holiday, the absolute last thing I need opening its doors less than a five-minute walk from our home is a gaddamn cake boutique.
I can state with certainty that the only thing full of more shit than Vance is a field somewhere, a field where farmers send diarrheaic cows that have eaten the wrong thing, to purge their bovine bowels.
I think about this quote from All The Presidents Men constantly- “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”.
This is not just about the Iran war: it is a fundamental driver of the current administration.
Take Elon Musk. The real reason he demolished USAID was that he experiences the social media world as more real than reality: an atrocity caused by being perilously online.
As in, "snowball fights in Hell" level surprise.
While most of the focus on Inter Miami's visit to the White House has understandably focused on Messi, the real story is the team's owner Jorge Mas, who is using his star player to help bring about his father's dream: goldengoalmag.substack.com/p/theres-mor...
Sometimes long reads don't necessarily flow like a downhill ski run but the reporting is so compelling and eye-opening that you keep reading. This is one of those pieces. Holy shit. It will be interesting to see what kind of traction this gets in the news cycle.
That doc is amazing. It ends with a sequence with The Clash, still punk, on a shoestring tour in Germany. No hotel, hadn't eaten in days, ripping through songs. Worth a watch. Strummer was a force of nature.
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
Hate watching soothes the soul.

The repugnant ... well, one of many things ... thing about this is that Humphries is sufficiently accomplished where she doesn't need to be a transphobe. She understands sport, accomplishment and what it takes and made a conscious choice to be horrible.
She was one of the many U.S. athletes I rooted against at the Games. The vetting process of watching the Olympics, and all.
"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes, according to three sources familiar with the closed-door session."

And of course, the best thing is a couple of live tracks from The Jam, who had just released its first album on Polydor. The quality difference in the music and playing is eye opening. Highly, highly recommended. About 90 minutes.
PSA: Fugazi released the Albini versions of In on the Kill Taker and it sounds excellent
Bonus PSA: a bunch of other top-tier punk records came out this week and you can hear them here: see-saw.fun/punk-this-we...
Lord, this. One of my favorite stories, I think back in my Sun-Times days, I gave music fans a month's worth of shows they could go to for the price of a single Rolling Stones ticket. Damn, that was fun.
Most excellent documentary from 1977 called "London Punk" on Netflix. X Ray Spex does a couple of songs. Fantastic. Chelsea, Clash. Just amazing.
If the U.S. president can't guarantee the safety of participants in the World Cup, then the World Cup shouldn't be played in the U.S.
