Why does the lead actor in The Secret Agent look like Brazilian Pacey

Spent the afternoon at the special exhibition of Australian indigenous art at the National Gallery. A feast for the eyes and I learned so many things Highly recommend, it's only here for a couple more weeks!

Perreo has officially broken containment

8yo is working up rules for a new sport she's invented called speed curling It's a race down a long straightaway on ice skates and you have to keep the curling stone with you using a metal pole or you lose You also have to wear a fancy outfit

I went outside on a sunny 60 degree day and it did, in fact, fix me

South America let's go!!!!

Tonight my very not online book club friend came over and asked me to show her the halftime show since she hadn't seen it yet, so I got to give her the live annotations and it was so fun

I'm just gonna say it. Men figure skaters have really great butts.

Someone should do something about all the dust in here!!!

First of all: hell yeah Second of all: these are all amazing songs from the halftime show setlist but he has SO MUCH MORE great music to explore, I'm happy to provide song/playlist recommendations!

Every time a new story about this comes out I feel better about moving our newsletter off Substack. I'm happy to talk to anyone who's interested in learning about moving to Ghost (what we use) or other platforms. It was easy and we didn't lose subscribers

Happy Friday Alexandria! The snowcrete is finally melting and @oconnell.bsky.social and I are thawing our futtocks in the new issue of ALXtra:

One day I'll be able to resist arguing with people about bike lanes on the elementary school PTA listserv. Today is not that day.

Check in on your environmental lawyer friends today, it's been a toughie (even for those who work on issues other than climate)

Reading Alito retirement rumors and remembering who's in charge of picking his replacement

Genuinely concerned about the people on r/figureskating

Me when cool people discover Bad Bunny: Hell yes!! Welcome to the party! Let's listen to Benitoooo Me when Meghan McCain discovers Bad Bunny: Get my man's name out of your goddamn mouth.

America vs América

I heard y'all wanted a thread on "El Apagón"

Playing "Un Verano Sin Ti" in the office this morning and getting a little misty eyed about how when this album came out in 2022 nobody I knew wanted to listen to it with me I'm so happy this week

Personally I'm very excited to have drafts. My intrusive thoughts need somewhere to hide until the time is right

Oh my god

Hey new Bad Bunny followers, do any of you happen to live in Alexandria VA?

I typed out a few thoughts while eating lunch now that I've had a chance to sleep* on it and identify the things I loved most about last night's performance. I promise this is shorter than the other thread lol *I did not sleep last night

Coworkers: I really enjoyed your Bad Bunny thread Me (forgetting they could see the shit I say on here): All of it? Like... all the parts?

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Now the whole country knows what perreo is!!!!!!

Have to put away the 5 pounds of tostones I cooked earlier then gonna rewatch

When he says "América" he means ALL of it

Look how happy she is

Fact check true and I'm not sorry

Guys

Why isn't it halftime yet

Less than 4 hours till kickoff. I am here to answer any last-minute Bad Bunny related questions. AMA

Good morning to @beckyhammer.bsky.social on this day where all her dreams come true.

People who are just discovering the spreadsheet today: I'm sorry. It's too late for you. Do not attempt. Just rawdog this halftime show along with the other 95% of white people in America

I'm so excited I couldn't sleep

I know we already did our halftime show prep for the day but I've had a couple cocktails and I need some perreeeoooo

Today's halftime show prep is "El Apagón" (the blackout) Easy version: the song itself is 0:00-1:00 and 1:40-4:30 of this video Advanced version: watch the whole 22 minute documentary (w/ English subtitles) about displacement, gentrification, and the Puerto Rican electrical grid

Hey Austria I hear your eagle lost its plumes

Also I made a YouTube music playlist from your insane spreadsheet youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Excited to learn that the Italian national anthem is basically an Austria diss track

Why I love the Olympics: my 8 year old now considers herself the world's foremost expert on slopestyle skiing despite learning about its existence two hours ago

Currently watching mixed doubles curling to cheer on the American team, Cory and Korey

Everyone laughed when I said this at the ted talk but for real

@westofrome.bsky.social can we please add Cerissa to alx skeets?

Tonight's dinner: caramelized fennel linguine (with fresh pasta) and a fairly decent winter tomato salad Not pictured: 🍷

I regret to inform you the dog is from Fake Alexandria
