How is TJ Maxx not getting in on "looksmaxxing," riding it hard for a fiscal quarter of advertising campaign, then walking away with the satisfaction of having murdered the trend.

Linen sheets with the highest thread count you can imagine. And then I’d put them through a dozen wash cycles before I ever used them.

I had chicken nuggets around 2:30 so it’s totally ok if I have truffle Parmesan popcorn for dinner, right?

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

And here I thought they just appreciated soft rock and a talented female drummer

You can talk about much older dudes who go after 18 year-olds being creepy without rolling out pseudoscientific frontal lobe bullshit that's been tailormade to allow parents to control their adult children well into their 20s.

Just got a push notification from a local news channel saying “rain will begin in Boston in 21 minutes” EXACTLY timed to me hearing the rain falling outside. Am I 21 minutes in the future?

I think it pairs really nicely with pistachio but my personal nope is LAVENDER food. I’ve had it done well once or twice but mostly you get a custard or a latte that tastes like soap. I like lavender in soap! But not in my food.

Years ago, a writer friend was passing through on tour. I didn't know him that well, but I liked what I knew of him - and when he suggested that I join him (and the other writer touring with them) to hang and sign stock, I said "Sure, let's do it." So the three of us spent a day doing that. (1)

Oh shit. Substack are the Kik guys? Holy shit. We're talking Roblox level predatory shit on that app. Oh my goodness that's nutso. They're bad people fr

Men continue to think they're more logical and less emotional than women and deserve power naturally and they can't even put their dicks away at work OR make it clear to their friends that "no dicks at work" is the bare fucking minimum!

It’s so funny to me how biblical literalists immediately understand metaphor and historical context the second they hit the New Testament. Like yeah bud I know that the needle’s eye was the name of a real gate, in order to fit a camel through it you needed to unload its pack. Not a subtle metaphor.

TIL what this French wine name signifies

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize. Apple says that because of the collective bargaining agreement with these workers, they "couldn’t offer to transfer them to nearby locations.” The union is outraged, and exploring options to hold Apple accountable.

Not even going to read the details or reasons, simply happy to echo the warning from the Government of Canada that people should immediately stop using AXE body spray. recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-rec...

Today’s small pleasure is that even though my nails are pathetically short & not worth spending the money on a pro manicure, thanks to my son having bought a UV light for resin work, I was able to put my favorite gel color on them anyway! I’m happier when my hair is purple-black & nails pearl pink.

On this day in 1908, Jane Bolin was born. Bolin, America’s first black woman judge, said this about women’s rights in 1958: “Those gains we have made were never graciously and generously granted. We have to fight every inch of the way — in the face of sometimes insufferable humiliations.” #WeTheMen

When asked, My piece of advice for women getting married is 1) do not EVER change your name to his 2) never commingle all of your money. Keep your own checking/savings.

If you’re going to make a list of rights women need, banking and credit in their own names is probably the number one item.

The fact that girls are not told from the jump that you need to control your own money at all times frankly sets them up for financial abuse at the hands of partners.

I am at this point, genuinely wondering what those of us outside of Maine have not heard about the other candidates in order for this guy to still have a chance in hell because every day with him is a total wtf.

Anyway if they want to throw Swalwell in the hoosegow I will defend his right to that standard in a court of law. But I don't need that level of stringent vetting to decide he's a bag of shit that should be thrown out of politics (rhetorically).

There's an important bit of journalism ethics here: do your best to minimize harm. This means taking a trauma-informed approach, not rushing the story and shoving survivors into the worst, period, hell, period before they're ready, and it means getting it right the FIRST time, not later

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

My Spanish is limited to food words and cuss words because I learned it from my kitchen co-workers. Except counting to ten which I learned from Luis and Maria.

eat shit again loser!

good people of Bluesky I just want to say, as a cleaner/declutterer don’t fret about being judged because the worse a mess is? The more satisfying it is to clean. There is no big sense of accomplishment running a duster and a vacuum and a mop over an already tidy house bad messes are more fun

Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner are reminders that Democrats need to stick to their principles or face consequences We don’t have room for sex pests or Nazis

This is driven by a huge drop in 13-17 year olds getting knocked up with no recourse so just take that into consideration

Hey @fairylogic.bsky.social !

Dear @rahaeli.bsky.social , thank you SO MUCH for educating about the CYP2D6 mutation, that turned out to be the MAGIC WORDS my son needed to say before they would stop offering him Tylenol for a RUPTURED KIDNEY CYST.

in ordinary times, we could be pretty sure of getting the funding now, I suspect we’ll never see it

Mel Gibson is the most famous sedevacantist you know because Mel Gibson has Mel Gibson money. he could just buy a building. JD Vance could too, probably. but they are rare exceptions. the hard right-winger cardinals who support them do it quietly because they want to STAY cardinals

my best guess is that a Trumpian Pentagon official, high on his own supply as they all are, thought "get your boss to play ball or we will do an Avignon on him" would genuinely intimidate AN 80-YEAR-OLD CARDINAL FROM FRANCE, which is perhaps the funniest thing anyone has ever done at the Pentagon

people will scold you for joking around when things seem really scary and fucked up. brother, those are the times what we invented joking around for

I don’t have a lot to say but I wanted you to know that if you’re reading this, you’re on the timeline where her caterpillar hatched, stretched, and flew safely into the warm air.

now I can KIND OF see how, if you're the French crown, and you're like "we put this guy in the Chair of Saint Peter, we own his ass," you might feel perfectly entitled to summon him for meetings and kick him around but it's WILD for the Pentagon to treat Pope Leo like they have that right

I have discovered a bar of imported caramel nougat Past Me picked it off the sale rack at Pemberton’s last time I was there and put it in the snack bin and forgot about it thanks, Past Me

SPACE NUTELLA

2028 table stakes is making this illegal

Alas that, having spent the money on the good edibles, I do not have that money to use on late night cookie delivery, the desire for which the edibles engendered

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

Hi it's me shop steward of your dreams here to let you know you can use your protected sick leave to take a family member to a doctor appointment or a dentist appointment! if you know the appointment ahead of time, it's nice to give your employer a heads up. but use sick leave instead of vacation

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

New word watch.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
