Toronto Sesame Street factor of 13.5 today. Holy beauty.

What kind of MLB broadcast blackout rules do you think the Vatican has to put up with

Ottawa contains multitudes of weather

Rogue looooves it when i put fresh sheets on the bed

Pope Leo XIV speaks out against AI: ‘A challenge of human dignity, justice and labour’

My undying respect for Andor using the word and calling it what it is: genocide

Andor ended on such a perfect note. The moment when Andor turned to the camera and said ‘I am a communist now’ and then specified hes the exact kind of communist i am was particularly brilliant

But better

The actress who plays Dedra (Denise Gough) on Andor is freaking incredible.

I still cant believe this actually happened. #andor

OISE’s brutalism got some pink fringe

Thought I might try to grab tickets for the 70mm IMAX rerelease of Sinners in NYC that doesn't start until next weekend... But every showing is either sold out or only has seats in the front row (with a few scattered in the second row). Wild! People really want to see this movie!

Crucial context for these people's plan for the future: every single bit of it is impossible nonsense, except the part where we all die. We actually need massive course corrections to keep sustaining human life as we know it, and all the "innovators" who could be working on that are against it.

Someone disapproved of my lying in the hammock without her…

John Schneider on #BlueJays fans here in Seattle: “We definitely felt the support. You hear the ‘Let’s Go Blue Jays’ and see the people behind the dugout. Not quite as full as it has been in the past, and understandably so, but we love every single one that comes down here.”

Instead of the bland, "have a nice day," add some suspense by saying, "I hope you enjoy the next 24 hours."

Can we not make this nasty? Ohtani was having some fun, Lourdes will be grown up enough to just laugh or shrug it off.

I think i planted Gritty

Frens, I, Maris, went inside the LL Bean Flagship store AND an associate gave me treats. It was the best afternoon ever, #CorgiCrew

maybe to you but I’m built different

My dentist: Have you been flossing? Me: Have you? Dentist: [to assistant] Can she do that?

Having a sniff of the Bergamot 🐶

it’s not a net loss. it’s the cost of a service. I don’t have a net loss with hulu. it costs something and I pay it.

How many people watching Andor think they are the Ghor when they’re actually actively part of the Empire

Any day is a good day to repost this reminder that Marc Andreessen's view of South Asia is that he, explicitly, wants to colonize it. Fortunately, Indian activists were able to stop Facebook. In Myanmar, they weren't so lucky, and Facebook enabled a genocide almost immediately upon its arrival.

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

Far too much of the “mocking” of far-right bigots, Reform supporters, etc… involves ableist slurs and/or body shaming. Please… don’t punch down when calling them out.

GIRL. put the blood down and back away from the fraud

having just spent two months researching & writing on this exact topic, i agree! it seems relatively under explored in both academic and journalistic writing but there’s a deep well there. i devoted 7 straight episodes of my show to it & could easily do a dozen more.

Just had the unanticipated pleasure of meeting this polite but rather alarmed-looking gentleman.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Abolish ICE rings so hollow knowing what we know about the people in this country. 2020 taught so many lessons.

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

Same day sellout!

To me, the fact that they arrested him in the course of doing his work as Mayor is more chilling than being arrested at a protest. If they are arresting the Mayor of the city, then we're even worse off.

Today was such a good day wow.
