Cedar waxwings are quite possibly the most punk rock looking bird. Someone had to say it.

Tonight's episode of Severance ("Chikhai Bardo") was stunningly gorgeous, captivating, and absolutely heartbreaking.

All the adults who were Harriet the Spy nerds as kids (it me) reveal themselves after hearing the sad news about Michelle Trachtenberg. Harriet = writer goals + style goals.

This might be my favorite part of the review for Fucking Adelaide by Margaret Lyons: "I know what you’re thinking: Is there a gender-nonconforming tween magician in this show? And the answer is, You know it, baby."

After reading Neko Case's memoir The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, her song "Nearly Midnight, Honolulu" breaks my heart even more now that I know she had a similar relationship with her own mother.

Just learned about the "Three Marias." In 1972 they wrote “Novas Cartas Portuguesas” (New Portuguese Letters), a collection of letters they wrote to each other about their problems as women in Portugal. It angered the country’s dictatorship & the women were arrested. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/w...

Wow, NYT, this is particularly bad. He isn't "committing illegal acts", he's merely opening the throttle on blowing through apparent legal limits, often with no clear public explanation for how their actions could be consistent with the rule of law. Not "breaking the law", merely defying statutes.

So looking forward to Amber Ruffin doing the White House Correspondents Dinner. Not that Trump is going to show up, but Amber is going to absolutely tear him up. He's going to hate a black woman roasting him... and I can't wait!

Wow, I completely missed this story. I loved “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” and thought Adele Haenel was great in it. I like her even more now. variety.com/2025/film/gl...

Now the Spanish Football Federation and Saudi Arabia want the women's Supercopa to be held in Saudi Arabia too. FC Barcelona player Patri Guijarro, who is never shy about speaking out, said "Taking the Supercopa outside of Spain and to a country that doesn’t respect women? I don’t see it."

Questlove's documentary "Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music" has a really fantastic intro. It's a 7 minute mashup of Saturday Night Live musical performances.

At the end of this article about the Googie architecture style (think The Jetsons), there's a thoughtful reflection on where we are right now as a society: "The sense of excitement for tomorrow that fueled Googie is hard to find in general these days..." www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/r...

Heard the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia cast is going to appear on Abbott Elementary, but I had no idea how they would blend differing styles. Turns out each show will have an episode of the same story told from their own perspective and in their own style/tone.

Never would have guessed this: In 1977 Andy Warhol took Jimmy Carter's 79 year old mother Lillian to a party at Studio 54. He also painted a portrait of her. Lillian Carter sounded like a fascinating woman. She also joined the Peace Corps in her late 60s. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

Another great Jimmy Carter story: In 1974, when Carter was Governor of Georgia, he attended a Bob Dylan/The Allman Brothers Band concert in Atlanta. He invited them all to a reception at the governor's mansion afterward. (1/4)

Jimmy Carter was such a fan of poet Dylan Thomas that when he attended his first G7 conference as president in London, he had the prime minister arrange for him to visit Thomas's birthplace. And he gave the archbishop a hard time because Thomas isn't memorialized in the Poets' Corner at Westminster.

One thing that really summed up who they were as presidents and what priorities they had: Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the White House in 1979, and then Reagan had them removed during his administration.

This is great. The BBC radio service in Somalia has been playing an instrumental theme song since 1957, but the BBC was unaware that the original song (given to them by Somali composer and broadcaster Abdullahi Qarshe, who removed the lyrics) is about rebelling against British rule and colonialism.

Was not expecting this article on fruitcake & candying your own fruit to end on this thoughtful note: "It brings a sense of scaling up skills & quiet contemplation to the kitchen during a moment marked by violence & institutional turmoil around the world. 'Unwind, de-stress and connect to beauty.'"

Lol, Dylan from The Great British Baking Show fell in love with the Thermapen on the show, so he ended up swiping three from the set and brought them home.

This kind of blew my mind: Bath & Body Works releases 250 new fragrances every year. I would have guessed they had 100 total fragrances in their whole history.

I loved that David Letterman had the tradition of having Darlene Love come on the Late Show each year at Christmas time to perform “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” For the first time in a decade, Darlene Love revived the late night tradition by performing it on The Tonight Show w/Jimmy Fallon.

Well, this is a bummer. After Netflix saved Girls5Eva and gave the show a third season, now they're canceling it. I guess there's not enough of an audience for a sweet show with multi-talented women who are delivering super clever jokes at a rapid clip. Hmm, I wonder why...
