Coming to H&M this fall with a built-in bra. #olympics #figureskating

I have been carefully shielding myself from Olympic spoilers so I can watch the Men’s Figure Skating in prime time and cheer for Ilia Malinin, because I know from all of literature and myth that well-articulated hubris is a solid strategy and never fails. #olympics #figureskating

Help I’m in the last 10% of the audiobook *Nowhere Burning* by Catriona Ward and I can’t stop to sleep. This is some srsly dark “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?” type shit. #booksky #horror

But since we’re judging based on fashion, how would we rearrange those medals? Canada: 🥇 USA: 🥈 France: 🎈 USA wins our hearts but that dress on Piper Gilles was just a wow. #olympics #icedancing

Fashion vibe in the men’s short program: I tore my outfit, I forgot my iron, I somehow got really dirty, and I just wrapped myself up in some brown rags I found. #figureskating #olympics

Sorry, Budweiser, but the horse-befriends-eagle Super Bowl ad just looks like one of those AI videos where a cat rides a polar bear or a woman in a kayak rescues a drowning leopard and trains him to be a defense attorney. #budweiser #superbowl

I listened to 100 new songs from last week and these are the ones I want you to put in front of you today: "Heaven" by Arlo Parks "BLEACH" by Ecca Vandal "Homewrecker" by sombr "Everyone Around Me Dancing" by Gia Margaret "ASSIGNMENT" by Power Snatch "Metric" by Victim of Luck #musicsky #newreleases

Rita Wilson released a new single, "Sound of a Woman." It's theatrical, with a string section and lots of scene and emotion, like it came out of the beginning of the third act of a musical. The video is full of wistful restraint. Women are tired. #musicsky #ritawilson #feminism

Did you know Paramore lead singer's Hayley Williams has a new project called Power Snatch? Their song, "Assignment," is talk rock. It's dry, wry, and fly: "Always men, why men? I don't even like them, on thе whole Just as a concept." I like it. It taps on my shoulder. #hayleywilliams #musicsky

Arlo Parks' new song "Heaven" has fully transported me. It's a let's-party-til-dawn song, but so ethereal and cool and restrained. Like drops on a pond. Immediately put it on repeat. #musicsky #arloparks #newmusic

I love Sombr. Not sorry! Disco ball at the Grammys, gangly and disarming, serving supermodel and goofball at the same time, and his new song, "Homewrecker," is adorable. GenX had "Jessie's Girl" -- well this makes Rick Springfield sound like a disrespectful jerk. #sombr #homewrecker #musicsky

What’s in my earbuds right now. Spooky, layered, and tense. Peter Pan but it’s set at fictional Neverland Ranch. Twisty storytelling and intricate construction. #nowhereburning #netgalley @catrionaward.bsky.social

These colors are everything. #ladygaga #badbunny #superbowl

So unapologetically Puerto Rican and so joyful and beautiful! We love it. #badbunny #puertorico #superbowl

Yes Bad Bunny, we love it. We want you to bring it. #badbunny #SuperBowl

Ready for more from The Muppet Show. Putting a lot of our old favorites on camera was a great idea! I’m glad Miss Piggy hasn’t gotten over herself, and that Kermit still doesn’t let anything get him down when he’s out in front of that curtain. Bravo, Disney! Fire up a whole season. #muppetsky

Amazingly there were two songs called “Dandelion” released last week. Dogpark’s tune is tight, but Ella Langley’s is better because an extended metaphor for a girl’s identity beats an extended plea for a girl’s attention. #musicsky #ellalangley #dandelion

If Sia’s song “Fist Fighting a Sandstorm” (re-released this week to celebrate its 10th anniversary) sounds familiar, it could be that Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” (2013) is in the same key, at the same BPM, and has the same chords, and the same melodic hook. #musicsky #twinsies

If you’ve ever wondered, “What even is the patriarchy?” then Sofia Isella is coming at you with an Old Testament reading in one hand and a heavy flashlight in the other. Her brilliant, unnerving new song, “Numbers 31:17-18” must be heard. #epsteinfiles #musicsky #sofiaisella

Best lyric from a new song this week: “The water is not in love with the cup.” From “Good Girl” by Paris Paloma. So many great lines in this song. #musicsky #parispaloma #songwriting

There are two writers credited as “lyricists” for the new John Summit song, “LIGHTS GO OUT.” The entire lyric is this: “Where do we go when the lights go out? When the f’n lights go out?” I don’t dispute it’s a brave ontological shout into the abyss, but who wrote what? #musicsky #johnsummit

It was kinda weird encountering the new Noah Kahan song for the first time as a Mastercard commercial during the Grammys. It’s a road trip song. Skippy beat, lyrics everyone can easily mumble along to, mildly but not uncomfortably relatable. Everyone has that friend. #musicsky #noahkahan

Should I watch Secret Mall Apartment or The Smashing Machine? #filmsky

Teyana Taylor is the perfect person. Her glasses are the perfect glasses. #grammys #teyanataylor

I didn’t come here to question Lady Gaga. Did you? #grammys #ladygaga

Bieber cosplaying as a guy messing around with a looper in his mom’s basement. High scores for details, because that guy would also have a full length mirror so he can watch his boxer shorts sparkle. #grammys #justinbieber

They’re not the gloomiest couple of the night; they’re the gloomiest couple of the night *so far.* #grammys #justinbieber #joyless #redcarpet

Ladies in leather. Faux or no? I think no. #grammys #redcarpet

The first fashion that made me go “Ooooh” was Sombr’s glittering suit. #grammys #redcarpet

I put a movie on with no sound, to go with my book. What movie? #fourthwing #booksky

I’m starting Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros right now. I have two flights and a layover to deal with. Will I finish it before I get home? #booksky #romantasy #

What’s the most withering, brutal book review you’ve ever heard? I think I just heard it, from @joshilyn.bsky.social : “I never got to the f*cking, because I forgot I was reading it.” That burns, all the way over here. Don’t worry — it wasn’t my book and it wasn’t yours. #booksky #bookreview

Pride and Prejudice is 213 years old today. Girl, you still got it. #booksky

Look, it’s your book club’s pick for April! The much-anticipated thrillama: Missing Sister by Joshilyn Jackson, on the shelves in March! Get this one. It’s twisty.

The Boots Pharmacy version of Emergen-C is undeniably superior. If you’re trying not to get a cold in the UK this winter, I highly recommend chugging it twice a day. Blackcurrant flavor is A+.

I know I’m just a lady in khaki capris and a blue t-shirt but I’m kind of confused about these sweaters that are just sleeves and a neck. These are the parts of a sweater I hate the most. It would be like a fish sandwich that’s just fins and teeth. #knitsky #crochetsky #whysky (📷The Snuggery)

The best new songs released this week are: "Excuses for Love" by MIKA "BLINDERS" by Ruby Waters "Slight Werk" by Honey Dijon "23" by Lime Garden "Church Girl" by Carly Pearce "Time Will Tell" by Poppy Top favorite for Joshilyn: "23" Top favorite for Lydia: "BLINDERS" #musicsky #newmusicfriday

If your doctor told you no more London raves, not with that blood pressure, well fear not, strobe light soldier, because Maesic has a hypnotic new release, "Hold It," featuring Kilimanjaro serving meditation to the beat. Joshilyn: Zzzzz but in a good way. #newmusicfriday #maesic #musicsky

Here's the thing about Andrew Sherriff, lead singer for Chapterhouse, that only GenX will know: His mother was the Swedish duo named Horse Vision and his father was a wet eucalyptus leaf. Anyway, Horse Vision has new music out this week. #chapterhouse #GenX #horsevision

Megadeth's new song "Puppet Parade," explores the existential alienation of the contemporary working man. This completes the literary trajectory, folks: Bartleby, Gregor Samsa, Megadeth. #musicsky #megadeth #newmusicfriday

We love "Church Girl" by Carly Pearce. If you're gutting out the opening verse, worried she might say "Hey church girl, Jesus will love you the second you stop fucking" -- don't worry! Keep going for inclusive, sex positive vibes, with zero calls for repentance. #musicsky #churchgirl #newmusicfriday

Lydia: If you love Tom Petty's "Last Dance with Mary Jane" then you'll kind of like Truman Sinclair's new song, "dust to dust." Joshilyn: Hey, I did love Tom Petty's "Last Dance with Mary Jane" so turn this shit up. #newmusicfriday #musicsky #trumansinclair

I don't deny that Jesus is a rock and roller, especially now that Joshilyn called out Jamie McDonald's new song "Won't Let Go" as Christian by the third line. #newmusicfriday #musicsky #jamiemcdonald

Violet Grohl submits a credible girl-rock track this week with "THUM." The vocals lean shoegaze, but the band is tight. #musicsky #newmusicfriday #violetgrohl

The new song from Arctic Monkeys, "Opening Night," is gunslinger grunge. Gritty cowboy, meet tube amp. We're calling it; it's a thing. #gunslingergrunge #arcticmonkeys #musicsky #mesaboogie

Today my guest, listening to at least a minute of the 100 songs on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist, is Joshilyn Jackson. We both really love the video for XG's new song, "Hypnotize." It's like "Shape of Water" meets J-Pop cryptid hunters. #musicsky #jpop #newmusicfriday

Harry Styles' new song is called "Aperture." If that title seems like he phoned it in, wait 'til you hear the overly long intro and monotonous melody! Joshilyn: "As an unrepentant pop stan with a long attention span, bring it. Go go go." #harrystyles #musicsky #aperture

This week, author @joshilyn.bsky.social Joshilyn Jackson joins me to listen to all the 100 songs on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist. What follows will be her commentary, my commentary, and our commentary, pureed with chia seeds and almond butter. #musicsky #authorsky #booksky

Hey Ryan Murphy, why are you dunking on Hilton hotels so hard in the premiere of The Beauty? #thebeauty #hulu

Listening to this audiobook. It’s #goblincore in an actual #cottagecore. With cooking and baking and gardening, and mobiles made of sticks and moss. True love at the harvest festival. Maybe the cutest book ever? #netgalley #howtoloseagoblinintendays
