Just a heads up for all the Sarah Records fans, @logofiasco.bsky.social is putting some of their releases online and in their physical shop in Carshalton this coming week. Here’s a little blog post from their site: www.logofiasco.com/their-secret...

So I think Wuthering Heights is unfilmable because it’s just too complex & holds a tension on the page between the love story & the destructive bleak darkness…that doesn’t mean I won’t be watching this & every film about it ever. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...

MAGA may be trying to buy up -- or kill -- the culture. But it pushed back against the regime in all sorts of ways. I wrote about some of them for the @nytimes.com, including the epic return of @theonion.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/o...

Oh - and if you cannot, CANNOT do any physical exercise, just go outside and sit in the morning sun for 15 minutes a day. Even if there IS no sun. It changes your brain. This is medical advice. I ignored it for too long. It is LEGITIMATE.

When I had access to bound copies of the New Yorker, I'd rootle in them for the Markets & Menus feature. Fun & fascinating insights into 20thc NY culture as reflected in S Hibben's advice to subscribers about groceries, bakeries, candy, drink, etc. HIGHLY recced! www.newyorker.com/magazine/mar...

what are your fave podcasts, blogs, sites, etc. that focus on backlist (like @backlisted.bsky.social), forgotten books, etc.? cc @ds228.bsky.social @neglectedbooks.com

This 1897 ad for Admiral Cigarettes was one of the very first filmed commercials and it shows that the scripts for these things has not changed in 130 years. A group of national symbols sit NOT smoking when a showgirl in a pantsless admiral costume bursts out of a cigarette box with smokes for all

Just reread The Great Gatsby & noticed Daisy is a brunette in the book, and Jordan a strawberry blonde. No film version makes Daisy anything but blonde. Seems an oversight of FSF not to make his femme fatale blonde, THE hair color worshipped in USA

i've been weirdly invested in this dog's sweater alteration IG roodabeguh

an easy way to understand this is that people make clothes cool and not the other way around. so our judgement of what looks "good" is often shaped by the cultural capital of various social groups. punks, skaters, hip hop heads, etc look stylish simply bc they are cool. thus money is not a barrier.

So agree with this. I'd like us all to remember that freedom FROM religion is also supposed to be one of our USian freedoms.

Praise me, because I did my full workout even though my trainer is on vacation. #humblebrag

People who want to get morally superior about how they hand-wash everything really gotta reckon with the fact that machine dish-washing uses considerably LESS water and emits considerably fewer greenhouse emissions than standard handwashing practices do. (And you save a lot of time...)

Any "moral worldview" that brands itself as Christian I'm not voting for. We are DROWNING in that here. We need to push back. Secular. Sharp, and I mean sharp line between church and state.

We're ruled by people in all three branches of government and across the tech/corporate landscape who think it's bad that this happened and wish the mob had prevailed, plain and simple. It's clarifying.

We got about 4” in Manhattan. #snow

NYC has an excellent tool to see how recently any street has been plowed. Check out PlowNYC at: plownyc.cityofnewyork.us/plownyc/ Thank you to the 1000s of hard working men and women at @nycsanitation.bsky.social who are out battling this storm tonight.

Who is this “Christ” they speak about? This god of guns, but not of grace. This god of greed, but not generosity. This god of the womb, but not of the woman. This god who cannot hear children cry. This god who fears dark skin. This god of America, but not all of America? Who is this "god"

To men, both straight and gay, who have power and influence: try hard - like really hard - to not be a total fucking perv. Once you get a taste of the sway you carry, it’s apparently really difficult to not be a creepy skank. But try.

I posted this as a reply but I think it's decent enough to be on main. #StarTrek

"A more consistent theme is that dames are problematic, although a few stories suggest instead that women are troublesome and others that females are a pain. The moral here is that America had a desperate need for no fault divorce."

We are now entering the weird liminal space between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Anything could happen during this time. You could feel weirdly nostalgic, you could see a photo of a cat, you could remember to feed your Neopets. The possibilities are endless.

Hahaha. The ‘what music do you like?’ question is unanswerable to most people who like music. The only possible answer is ‘yes’

You guys caught this too, right? “Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.” Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.” 1/2

That privilege--the privilege to speak of your religious beliefs as certainties that are incontestable--is given to Christians alone in America. And anyone else knows this and tiptoes around it, reflexively. But what if we stopped doing that, like this guy did in North Dakota?
