🔗: Fender Bender (Flaming Hydra)

🔗: Fender Bender | Misha Angrist (Flaming Hydra) I was not aware that Fender was scorching the earth and their reputation in court right now. Or more accurately, the private equity company that bought Fender is tanking their asset and 80 years of goodwill. On the Stratocaster: It will look like the future and the present and the past. It will be contoured, curvy, sexy. Indeed, a German court will…

🔗: The Right Has Created Their Perfect Trans Athlete | Lauren Theisen The hypothetical trans girl who’s supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can’t fight back, she can’t disprove anyone’s assumptions, and she can’t garner sympathy when she’s the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one…

In exchange, we take on the…

There is only one World Cup

Like much of the world, I have spent the last 3.5 weeks awash in soccer (or in European parlance, football). The 2026 tournament has been the best one in memory, delivering high drama and elation and devastation to the largest field of teams and fanbases and countries ever assembled. Living in the host nation helps a bit, with the games broadcast in my local timezone 1 , but there is so much…

Massively (e)ffecting

I am finishing my second playthrough of the Mass Effect 3 remaster (I think 4th if I include the original release), the end of my favorite video game trilogy , and realized that I never blogged about it. I’m rectifying that immediately. I don’t know if this is how it happened, but my headcanon is this: BioWare, a game development company in Vancouver, had created some all-time hits…

The Tragedy of Appreciating SOBs Too Late 🔗

Really great writing from Ray Ratto on the untimely passing of both Claude Lemieux and Kyle Busch: The tragedy of appreciating SOBs too late | Defector The question of whether his often confrontational and always high-collision style of play led to some level of brain impairment is an inevitable one; the idea that he died performing for fans is one each person must wrestle with individually, and…
