Janelle Monae, just such a dang bad ass.

I would absolutely pay the monies to see Beyoncé put her own spin on jazz standards.

As it should be. ❤️

Ah! It’s the Iceland dude from Somebody Somewhere on Severance! Dammit, I don’t think I can handle him not as the human equivalent of a teddy bear.

You know what’s helpful in a time of crisis when emotions run high? Verifying, confirming and fact-checking before publishing. An established news organization should know better.

For every Chicagoan (and non) on here freaking out, this is some incredibly important context. Like everything with regards to the GOP, you have to think like a marketer. Headlines are the end goal — perception assumed as reality — collateral (human) damage be damned.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

I’m not 100% certain but fairly certain this drivel was created in-house at WaPo, and not at an ad agency. It just reeks of in-house fart sniffing, if you will.

Pure, unadulterated magic with nothing but the fondest memories.

Fwiw, re: Jimmy Carter, I had no idea of his political affiliation. Yes, I could intuit it based on his actions, but it’s hardly mentioned in any of the coverage this past week or generally. My impression might be due in part to Reagan being in office when I was born, but remarkable nonetheless.

The mistake being made about Meta is to say they're just doing this to make conservatives happy. They've been doing that a decade+. Removing fact checkers and bringing back political content means there will be more stuff that gets more people mad which creates more engagement. Growth at all costs.

Colin Farrell is truly a real gem.

Anyone else read The Order of the Day by Eric Vuillard? ‘Tis the energy right now.

My only regret about reading the excellent Character Limit by @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social is that I didn’t keep track of the number of times I uttered, “What a fcking idiot” while reading it. Conservative estimates have it as roughly every other page.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking help from the public as it investigates the killing last month of a federally listed endangered gray wolf in Morrow County. On November 8, a radio-collared male gray wolf known as OR 159 was found dead on private land.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY
