Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.
I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.
The real MVP is us. For having to endure such a boring football game with so many terrible AI ads.

The August 27th, 1995 episode of 120 Minutes might have been the best episode ever. Hosted by Soul Asylum. Videos from PUSA, Pennywise, Matthew Sweet, Built to Spill, Geraldine Fibbers, Mike Watt, John Spencer, Wilco, That Dog, Bjork, Ramones, Gas Huffer, CIV, Pavement. All so good.
