Protect your heart from breaking by padding it with soft cheese.

If this offends you, you are the problem.

If they hate so much the things we’re into, why are they watching?

Blessings upon their house!

He sure as hell healed something. That’s Dr. Bad Bunny to y’all.

Truly. This show is just FUN. 🤩

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

We have a winner.

My Olympic skating theme.

Doubles. Love Shack. There would definitely need to be at least one backflip.

Men’s singles. Glengarry Glen Ross - on ice! From the gold medal podium, I will tell you three times to go lunch.

Queen.

State your Olympic figure skating event and theme. Ice Dancing Inspo: Persuasion by Jane Austen Music: Unbreak my Heart by Toni Braxton

State your Olympic figure skating event and theme. I'd be men's singles, SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL.

10/10. No notes.

Women’s singles and this would be my vibe:

Ice dancing. Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Every year around this time, everyone awaits the Superb Owl. Here she is.

I'd do women's singles to BARBIE GIRL. There'd be no Ken because he'd just steal my thunder.

State your Olympic figure skating event and theme. I’d be women’s singles, Maleficent. WITH HORNS.

Me, reading the recaps on that piece on the enraging nightmare plagiarist slop queen in the NYT:

athlete: so if triathlon is running, biking and swimming, that must mean biathlon is running and biking? coach: [taking out skis and a gun] haha yeah you’d think so

“Meats and ferments”? Oh, lands. The way that man must smell.

the French tricolor enters the chat

Fire. 🔥

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

There was a time when the office of the President of the United States stood as a symbol of integrity. Leaders like President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama reminded the country what that standard looks like at its best.

The dancing in the streets will be like Mardi Gras had a baby with millennial New Year and they all went clubbing with V-E Day and took molly with Carnevale.

All of the country placard bearers at the Opening Ceremonies: No one speak to me or my cocoon.

Escandalo!

Am I dying of dysentery? NO, I’M JUST STRUGGLING WITH A PLOT POINT, THANK YOU. PLEASE BRING ME WINE WITH COCAINE IN IT OR AN EXORCIST

When I say we are in the absolute most inexplicable timeline.

Wow, the world’s richest man is miserable? Guess he didn’t listen to those three ghosts who stopped by on Christmas Eve.

Someone wrote this with their own hands. And fourteen people liked it.

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

Gorrrrrgeous. And they look toasty.

You want 'British values', here's national treasure Ian McKellen performing a speech by national hero William Shakespeare about how we should be humane and welcoming to migrants and refugees. bsky.app/profile/lala...

no disrespect, but I'm not subscribing to your Substack for reasons that should be obvious if you google words like "substack" and "nazis"

No lies.

I have decided that at 57 I’m definitely going to dress for the male gaze. But not the straights. I care only for the approbation of men who care for other men.

There is serious ice dancing drama about to happen and I’m going ALL IN.

It’s here! KILLS WELL WITH OTHERS, the sequel to KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE is out in paperback this week. What happens when you’re a 60-year-old female assassin and the organization you work for would rather kill you than let you retire? Read it and find out! 🔪

I love France on all days in all ways, but especially when she’s all, “Don’t make me tap the guillotine.”

Someone outside the US: So, let me get this straight. The groundhog... Me: Is clairvoyant, yes

A giveaway! 🦋 bit.ly/4a01PWM

Me: I meet challenges with patience and light. Also me, to my printer: Don’t be a little bitch, Margo.

Streaming Bridgerton 3 on repeat while I write because this album is a banger as the youths say.
