Apropos of the moment: a somewhat deranged Americana interior from “Decoration A To Z” by Betty Pepis, 1965.

The mayor of New York City is doing more than the senate and house minority leaders

I take back what I said about liking what I’ve seen of 2026 so far.

“Churu” maps perfectly to “Hero” in songs if you happen to be singing to cats who are holding out for a hero who will feed them a Churu.

Just once I'd like to wake up to people freaking out for good reasons

Hi good morning

I am going to become the senate

(How are so many of y’all experts on literally every news topic tho?)

It’s a dark night when you look at the news and are forced to admit that you no longer believe in the power of the FIFA peace prize

Why are people who share a provincial nitwit’s race and gender biases the only “real” citizens of their country?

Wrap-around catio.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

I'm well aware that this cbs line is just cynical but also it would be so funny if they actually made a nightly news cast that is just like: ZERO EXPERTS, ALL ANALYSIS IS FROM SOME DUDE WE PULLED OFF THE STREET AND HES CONFUSED ABOUT WHY WE ARE FILMING HIM IN THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS PARKING LOT

Parallels to Elisabeth Homes: -ability to charm and hook wealthy, conservative older men -grift = incredibly obvious to those who are not charmed, which is most people -apparently limitless confidence and self-regard for reasons few can comprehend -curious lack of embarrassment or shame

Philly was mentioned in the Stranger Things finale because: we are not a real place.

Maybe She's Born With It, Maybe It's ✨An Ancestral Curse✨

I also love America and believe in its stated values. And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.

you can tell bari did this herself because of how poorly written it is

She flees, pursued by a single candle.

If this Ann Lee movie spurs more Shaker aesthetic appreciation, I recommend a) Hancock Shaker Village https:// hancockshakervillage.org b) Canterbury Shaker Village www.shakers.org c) Shaker exhibit opening in Philly Jan 31 icaphila.org/exhibitions/...

This is the Rosetta Stone of douchebaggery:

One of you recommended the Reddit board r/StealthBombers to me a few months ago, and I truly cannot thank you enough for, whoever you are.

Could not agree with this more.

The “strangest thing“ of all is love

Wait it’s not seriously *Thursday* is it?

I love the idea of raising kids in NYC seeming possible to young families now. I had a total blast growing up there at the last moment it was faintly affordable for normies.

Mamdani: "While only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn along side you, and not for a second hide from you."

No one: Decorative arts curators:

I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

maybe this will be the year it finally happens

Goodnight, sweet prince.

My husband has food poisoning so that seems…an apt way to ring out 2025.

just want to remind folks that pushback and public outrage stopped them from closing the CDC library. i bet pushback will stop them here, too

😬

“You can’t fire me, I quit”

Not exactly, but close
