Friday T&A – Skate and Annoy

Alex Cooper in Cosmopolitan

I saw this in issue in an airport but I didn’t get a chance to flip through it. Alex Cooper is the host of an apparently very popular podcast titled Call her Daddy. This is one of the covers from the November 2023 issue of Cosmopolitan, which based on a promo video might also contain […]

The Birth of Skate Punk Culture

Preach! I’d love to credit the source of this image but it’s just being reposted everywhere so I have no idea. Maybe it was Avril Lavigne. Update: Thanks to a certain “knowitall,” the original creator has been identified as Cat from LaterlOser. You can even get your own.
