I have a good, professional job with good health insurance. Last month I needed a biopsy. The results weren’t bad, fortunately. But now I have a bill for a thousand dollars. I’m too weary of it all for any insightful commentary, but we are very obviously doing this wrong. I mean jeez.

Public service announcement: In a grocery store landscape that offers many options for small, sweet, seedless citrus fruits, don’t let these little divas fool you. They taste nice but they spurt so much juice in every direction after i peel them my hands AND my glasses need washing!

@kentremendous.bsky.social I just finished rewatching The Good Place and I want to thank you for it. Things are really rough right now and that show is an antidote. Not as escapism but as a model for something better. I’m going to start (and hopefully finish) the Scanlon book.

Life with an ADHD brain: (I put laundry in, start washer) (20 minutes later, I hear washing machine running) Me: Oh I guess my partner is doing laundry.

I don’t like it when it takes me 5 guesses to get the Wordle and then it says “Phew” like my poor performance has stressed out the game. I want unwavering false confidence only.

I got to see some Ed Ruscha works on paper this morning and this one reminded me that @jessethorn.bsky.social did a great interview with him.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

In Hot Frosty, a Hallmark-style Netflix Xmas movie in which a magic scarf turns a snowman into Dustin Milligan, who fixes Lacey Chabert’s house & heart, the absolute wildest, most unbelievable thing is this font on medical records. It’s like a grim diagnosis was published in Highlights magazine.

We only have a couple of days to fix this, but we need to commit: surely it’s GLINDIATOR.

Alright, maybe I’m back on here? I don’t know. Here’s a photo I took in London last month. Because London is where I always wish I were.

@kennethwreid.bsky.social Hey, you were great in S Deerfield last night! My bf got our tickets and I hadn’t been paying much attention so I didn’t know who was opening. On my way in I said “I hope it’s Ken Reid” and then my wish came true!

Two months today since I saw #Macbeth at the #DonmarWarehouse and I’m still thinking about it. Shockingly hot take: David Tennant is a very good actor, especially in Shakespeare.

Why do I keep dreaming about famous people? Olivia Colman recently, Michael Sheen a couple of weeks ago. Last night I was dogsitting for @joshgondelman.bsky.social while he was on the JoCo cruise. They all seem super nice. At least my brain is choosing well!

Last night I dreamt that Olivia Colman’s official website was sadpotato.com. It’s not, I checked. Phew. She deserves, at an absolute minimum, a happy tuber.

Public service announcement: The Beekeeper has a 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. But it is a bad movie. I say this as a stone cold Jason Statham fan. It just was not good with a slow, dumb plot and middling action sequences. Please, just rewatch the Transporter 3.

Amazon, Trader Joe’s, and SpaceX are all fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional. All three companies have a disgraceful history of worker abuse and union busting. They can’t stop workers from organizing, so now they want to destroy the whole system.

A few days ago I met a pal, an OB-GYN who is working at a service that sends abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) to women who need them in states that ban abortion. She asked me to help spread the word about how to use the service, and asked me to ask you guys to pass on the info. 1/6

In my anger about this, the only constructive comment I have is this: if you are NB, trans, or in any way gender-non-conforming, I appreciate you. I don’t tolerate that aspect of you, I like it. It’s fucking great. And you deserve happiness and to be left the fuck alone by sewer-dwelling bigots.💛🤍💜🖤

I hope David Tennant keeps that grey Paul Smith hoodie forever because I’d like to continue getting occasional Staged-related sketches for as long as he and Michael Sheen are on this earth.
