Rock N' Roll Fantasy is an underrated Kinks song. The Bad Company song with the same name kind of blows.

Multiple large accounts today have posted “the girls are fighting” or something similar. Carol nails it. That’s not what’s happened. These are dysregulated megalomaniacs, and it’s insulting to compare girls to them. Also, using girls as an insult is misogynistic. Please stop doing that!

@meredithea.bsky.social This is a pretty good article about The Rangers and Pride. I know what it's like to root for a team that does embarrassing things. (I still very quietly root for Penn State football). www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Friendship is like an extended I Think You Should Leave sketch (compliantary). Also, Paul Rudd should always have a mustache.
