Cher and Kevin Costner sitting next to each other at #SNL50 is everything I’ve wanted since this pic

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

What a wonderful profile! @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social frequently delights me while watching a game and it's amazing to get a glimpse into the process.

eating the super bowl appetizers we didn't eat yesterday for dinner tonight.

De Blasio: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

After last night's All Star Haterade, it feels fitting that my first lunchtime long read is another reflection on how to be a Hater. "Love is..." and whatnot.

Fishtopher stuns in new photo

They have trashed valuable products your tax money paid for.

“Here we are, allowing zealots to burn our ideals to the ground… They are happy to throw my version of America atop the pile because that version does not privilege them. Or, should I say, it doesn’t privilege them enough. And so, rather than learn to share, they would rather burn it to the ground.”

My dad was a proud NTEU Union Steward for years before retiring and I have spent all week thinking about how he and his cohorts would be dragging the "Fork in the Road" message for filth. NTEU delivers.

Amazing! “Please, don’t recycle bowling balls! ‘We don’t know where they are all coming from. We see a ridiculous amount,’ Napolitano said. ‘They’re not recyclable, and they get stuck in weird places.’”

This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

I just realized that this year’s Super Bowl ads are all going to be AI nonsense. It’s going to make all the stupid crypto ads from two (?) years ago seem quaint.

i’m just photoshopping muppets onto the cover of harper’s bazaar: thread

pls take a 10s emotional break and look at my cat

In case you missed the latest discoveries of a private bathhouse and occupants of a house in #Pompeii www.bbc.com/news/article...

Perfect, a viral photo can be called a hot flash.

I talked to the Black residents of Altadena who say they’ve lost everything but hope. “When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

My father would womanize, he would start land wars with Denmark. He would make outrageous claims like claiming ownership of Greenland. Sometimes he would refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Respect to the listing agent for declining to euphemize some of the, uh, fixtures

Who knew the world was capable of such poetry?

Spending my Friday night with a rewatch of The Wrong Trousers and Vengeance Most Fowl double feature while craving cheese is possibly the best thing I could have done, eh Gromit?

Got added to a new submittal exchange ON MONDAY while on vacation and came back to a hundred emails from this one stupid system, most about stuff I’m not even supposed to review. No “heads up this is happening!” Just BOOM SPAM and half of them start with “this submittal is overdue.” 🤦‍♀️ I hate Jan 2nd

all my plans for the rest of the year

The weirdest part of any Christmas song is when Paul McCartney goes ‘The choir of children sing their song, they practised ALL YEAR long’ and then it turns out it’s just them saying ‘ding dong’ a few times

The tragedy of bringing a beautiful panettone home for the holidays only to have my dad turn his nose up at it “because it has raisins” 😭😭🤦‍♀️

snowball fight, italy, ca. 1400

when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

Second time on the subway this month where a stranger decides to “help” me with my sudoku or crossword. One more and it is officially my least favorite trend!

[post credits Samuel L Jackson] “a complete unknown.” Did you really think you were the only one traveling? I’m here to talk to you about the Wilbury Initiative.

Oh my god. Well and then you get to the kitchen which just... I don't know what I expected, and I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

My recent trip to the Met was all about finding weird little guys that I could try to replicate as a project in my pottery class. I'm all about weird little guys!

Every museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys

This is the kind of wholesome content I need in my timeline.

Love to check tracking numbers for my packages and see them doing a circuitous route from NJ to Long Island and then back to NJ. What a fun 5 day vacation my socks and flannels have had, completely bypassing my city in between those two locations!

Glad this popped up it was much needed.

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my week— it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted “I am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.
