I went to the Meet the Breeds event for the Westminster Dog Show and a woman told me her dog was chosen as a “Select Bitch”. So anyway, that’s what I’m gonna by now

I am tired of writing posts that essentially serve as obituaries for decency, quality, and merit. I hope we all survive long enough to write obituaries for the other stuff.

DAILY MEMO: 'They're Going To Kill Him,' Toddler Says, As Border Patrol Arrests Her Father @eltragon.bsky.social

This is a fascinating, deeply researched and reported story that goes well beyond "Isn't A.I. terrible?" while keeping one foot firmly planted in "Yes it is."

@lulamaybelle.bsky.social I watched #Levitating #ParaPerasuk just now and thought it was fantastic. Not a perfect film, but so much of it is rendered in beautiful eye-popping ways. I’ve never seen a film quite like it. I love seeing things that are so original!

If you have relatives with long covid and will be seeing them tomorrow (or won’t be because they have long covid) please spread the word about this trial of tirzepatide for LC. I’m enrolled, the anecdotes I hear from patients on it for other reasons are very encouraging.

We wanted to understand how regular Americans feel about the Trump administration. So we talked to three Russia-funded content farmers at a tea house in Islamabad.

@lulamaybelle.bsky.social I hope you’ve had a chance to see #LateShift. I saw it tonight, and it’s one of the best things I’ve seen lately. The filmmaking, social commentary, and emotional truth are first rate.

@lulamaybelle.bsky.social I like the idea of this creative, talented mom coming up with these taglines, rather than some cynical old ad man. Barbara Gips, Creator of Memorable Movie Catchphrases, Dies at 89 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/m...

September is doing its best to crush my spirit. #RIP Claudia Cardinale.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...
