Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

Anything Alison Roman yassified. Especially that chickpea "stew" (the one with enough turmeric to sprout a 4mm kidney stone) that made many desi aunties cry. Also, she can boil some dried beans with herbs and an onion. Recipe.

Project 2025 is terrifying. The people behind it are also weird. Meet John McEntee, who ran personnel for Trump's White House.
He also runs a shady "dating" app for lonely MAGA men.
The marketing for the app is more pathetic than you're imagining.

Todayโs listen is the eponymous (and unfortunately the one and only) album from The United States of America
It might be the first ever electropsychedelia album in history, or at least the most influential. Then came Broadcast and Portishead
Obviously, the year is 1968

I don't know why Vive La France is trending. This does not really erase all the violence and colonialism in the name of the country, nor guarantees that it will be better. It is the people who said no to fascism are those that must be celebrated.
