If you're a sports lover, enjoy this weekend, because we've got loads of play-off baseball and tons of football of the professional AND collegiate sort. Also,[ if you need a new sweater, we've got you](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-cozy-sweaters-10-2022/). This is an excellent piece at the LA Times: [Iranian women at home and abroad cut their hair to protest Mahsa Amini’s death](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-06/la-me-iran-protests-diaspora??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Oooh[ boy, this is real bad re: Brad Pitt.](https://pubx.co/w17sDi?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Very interesting, from Lainey: "This has been the focus of my coverage on the Brad vs Angelina situation – how Brad has weaponized the media against Angelina, positioning himself as the defender when in the courtroom he’s actually been the aggressor. Once again, I repeat, because there are people who still aren’t getting the full picture of this: he brought the lawsuit against her first." I don't think I knew that myself, actually. (I mean, I *must* have read it but it didn't really sink in. I assumed this whole thing was actually more of a mutual legal contretemps.) Also very interesting (and lighter) at Lainey is[ this take on the Tom and Gisele breakup](https://pubx.co/CzMRA9?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Now there's [an IRISH DANCING SCANDAL](https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irish-dancing-rocked-by-major-allegations-of-competition-fixing-involving-dance-teachers-and-judges-42043659.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)?

I remember being in New York for Linsanity, because it overlapped with February Fashion Week that year. As a sports fan, it was REALLY fun. (That was a weird Fashion Week, though; Whitney Houston died the same week. The vibes were all over the place.) This is an excellent interview. AGREED: [Why the TikTok butter board trend is totally disgusting.](https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2022-10-05/butter-board-trend-disgusting??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Someone I follow on Twitter was like, "I keep thinking about everyone's hot breath on that butter" and those words keep popping into my head. \[LA Times\] This is nice news!

I don't technically NEED it, but..........look at it. (That's an affiliate link.) Well! I don't know about this!
