Listening to this morning’s Stay Tuned with @preetbharara.bsky.social was frustrating but ultimately a good exercise. As Preet and Neal parried over university cancel culture, it helped me sharpen and clarify my thoughts on why Niall’s position that “cc is ruining universities” is the incorrect one.

A downside of turning off phone notifications is that I had no idea the #Oscars nominees were announced. Conclave as a Best Picture nominee?? And what’s Anora again?

Melania’s outfit today and the one for the Carter funeral were hiding something. It’s possible there’s a security concern and they want her wearing bulletproof protection underneath.

Grocery prices fluctuate and many factors affect them. Expect some prices to go up and some to go down and prices to change over time. That’s why this “I voted based on grocery prices” was poorly thought out to start with.

Ladies, please love yourself more than to put up with this. #FeministBluesky

Suddenly feeling really bad for anyone who has a tattoo from The Sandman or Good Omens.

Speaking objectively, the men on the Argentina version of #LoveIsBlind are objectively the least attractive in any iteration of the series worldwide.

Won’t you kiss me on the mouth, and love me like a sailor? And when you get a taste, can you tell me what’s my flavor?

This is really, really important to read. Really. THE NEW RASPUTINS Anti-science mysticism is enabling autocracy around the globe. archive.ph/2025.01.07-1...

Have been listening to podcasts telling the story of Giséle Pelicot, and every single time, the story shocks me. Every single time.

Everyone needs to read/reread Animal Farm right now. There’s more to it than the “some are more equal than others” line.

It’s normal to break up with someone who basically sees you as a sx doll to re-create pcrn scenes with.

The Wizard of Oz is very precious to me (see profile pic). #Wicked isn’t on my radar bc it sort of interferes with the story I know and love.

I’ve used Threads daily since the day of its launch. I’ve used Bluesky only occasionally since I was able to join. On Threads I get some engagement. On Bluesky I get almost none. People talk all the time on Threads about how it compares with BS. I haven’t seen a single BS post about Threads.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait…they’re doing Spaceballs 2? Seriously?

Listening to @karaswisher.bsky.social and @scottgalloway.bsky.social talk about Trump’s cabinet picks and here’s the thing: Trump doesn’t care. He wants to install yes men, pardon himself, and then fk off to MAL and play golf for the rest of his life. He has no interest in the work of the presidency

Hey, maybe if all the women you want to date find your political views so abhorrent that you have to lie to find a girlfriend, maybe think about why that might be.

In 2018 there was a big gov’t shutdown. A reporter went to check stats on how many gov’t employees were affected, so they went to the website that would give them the info. Turns out it was a gov’t site and wasn’t available bc of the shutdown.

Looking for podcast recommendations! I love News and politics but as you can understand I’m not going deep on those right now. Non-poli podcasts I love: Omnibus Who Weekly Critics at Large Search Engine Crime Writers On Life After MLM Decoder Ring

Building a house is hard; burning a house down is easy. For years Rs have been the party of burning the house down, because Dems haven't built the house perfectly. Voters chose the arsonists over the builders. They think the arsonists will rebuild the house.

Allegations like this haven't stopped them before.

What happened yesterday that $DIS spiked yesterday?

#Bookshelf post, finally! CC @emigre80.bsky.social

Chit, I gotta do my bookshelf post.

My rule of “curating” a timeline on the birdsite is out the window. I indiscriminately follow everyone who looks interesting and all starter packs.

Last year I bought the best winter gloves and I lost one and I’ve been googling the brand for months and they’re only on EBay and I don’t do eBay and I think they’ve been discontinued and I’m just bereft. 😭
