I tried to post a link to Daniel Radcliffe singing the periodic table of elements on someone’s post on FB. I then tried to post a standalone post with the link which mysteriously would not upload. Seriously?

The child just came down to watch Drag Race with me (and to eat all of the leftover Spicy Miso Pasta. I want to beam this moment to past me and to so many other parents in the dark times. It can work out, my loves. Let me know if you need a personal pep talk!

1/2 This just happened. I have no context. A gaggle of white middle school girls wafted into the barbershop where the kid was getting a line up (the shop is in the mall). They approached a couple of teen boys who were hanging out and asked for $5. Weird but I assumed some familiar relationship.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

A friend sent an article about a certain apartheid era nepo-baby wielding a chainsaw at CPAC. My take? Excellent. May the odds be ever in our favor.

Does anyone have a great Broadway book for a theater obsessed tween? I got her sister “No Legs, No Jokes, No Chance” in the fall, so looking for something else!

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

I have deleted three different responses to someone I love, who is panicking about how much worse it will get. I don’t want to tell any human how they should respond to all this. Or to suggest not paying attention to the curated anarchy we are experiencing. But please guard your hearts.

The SNL moment of bringing out the dresser to get her flowers is the best.

Catching up on the SNL concert: Cher was our last concert before the pandemic. She was lowered from the ceiling of the Garden on a trapeze and her first words were “what’s your granny doing tonight?”

We signed on to a streaming service we didn’t need to watch the SNL concert, and holy shit, Brandi Carlyle and Sista Strings!

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

Wall Street's touching the stove moment might end up being not tariffs or debt default, but rather DOGE techbros causing a bank run by carelessly demonstrating they can now yank funds out of commercial bank accounts on a whim. A very pure distilled demonstration of no rule of law, no capitalism.

“I am happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you as a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”
