Any other theatre and/or music kids have a show or piece you can’t escape? Like it’s picked in totally different contexts by different people in different places several times over the course of your life?

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Ugh

Hey shopping sites- Let me fill a cart and then save that whole cart as a list for later rather than individually moving things about. K thanks

A giant Christmas ornament is rolling down whiskey row propelled by the wind like a holiday tumbleweed.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom: We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Went into Zootopia 2 wondering if it could be used in equity ed like the first. It can. Stories about being the token success, about being partners with different cultural norms, and most importantly about rewriting history, stealing intellectual property, and literally icing out the Latinx-coded.

I recognize that in the context of the US I carry oh so much privilege from whiteness. But we also love to create hierarchies within whiteness. Nearly every time I meet someone they immediately comment on my hair color and, more commonly, on how remarkably pale I am. At best. Often it’s derisive

The thing about “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is that life comes first for a reason. You have to be alive to do these things and healthcare is what keeps us alive. How dare we even claim our foundational documents when we have paved over them with inequity.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

@kaine.senate.gov as someone who came to appreciate you very much during the 2016 election and was disappointed you would not be in the VP spot, I sense you know the deep lies and pain Trump causes. Please don’t side with ending the shut down. The illusion of relief will cause more pain. Fight.

Speculating loudly about the UPS crash without information as a passenger on a flight heading to Louisville is a remarkably inconsiderate and distressing thing.

Honestly, one of the great American poems. Arguably the great American poem.

Every reminder to stand from my watch on a long flight is a tiny battle.

Hey Delta. I would just love to see the stats of how many people start and finish Swiss Army Man as their setback entertainment.

A reminder that Democrats aren’t asking for anything new. They’re just asking that what has already been covered under the ACA continue to be covered. (Which already was a compromise with Republicans to get it to pass and is supported by 75%+ of Americans)

The distorted guitar playing Taylor Swift’s Antihero that plays on Delta flights now is honestly a disservice.

What a mensch.

I find the medications that come in the most difficult to open packages are often the ones you need for urgent relief of a situation.

Gracias a Delta por la versión de piano de Despacito en mi vuelo a San Juan. Muy apropiado.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

Amidst all the awfulness there are still ongoing petty annoyances which are perhaps more annoying that usual for knowing their triviality… Nevertheless I need someone to make cute wide width shoes.

Y’all. She’s 35 and happily engaged. This album feels exactly like that and it’s a bop. Not all albums will speak to your life. Because they’re speaking FROM hers. Just enjoy shared happiness and stop hoping for something that breaks your heart.

I’ll say it again- the reason he sold out his family for Turkish Delight is because it is covered in powdered sugar and it was mid-rationing in WWII.

The government will shut down in less than 12 hours if Congress doesn't act. Republicans control the whole government, and they're nowhere to be found.

Hey @nytgames.bsky.social @nytimes.com- for today’s mini it’s worth noting that n and ñ are actually different letters…

The 17pro colors look like cheap men’s shaving brands.

Who is writing these scripts for mayors to read over airport loudspeakers?

The man in front of me is sharing smutty TikToks (not of him, of women- not made by him either) from one account and then engaging from his FIVE OTHER ACCOUNTS. Some of y’all need hobbies.

NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.

The pleather to vegan leather and vegetarian to plant-based pipelines should be studied by marketers everywhere and thrown out the window because they’re just there to appeal the wealth and masculinity and don’t mind me, please don’t trip on my soapbox.

As a long time Emily Haines and Metric fan, this new Hayley Williams album is an absolute joy.

Hey @deltaairways.bsky.social , Went to change a flight. Was giving me a $75 ecredit to change flights. Accidentally went back a page in the process. Now the flight is adding $90. Make it make sense.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Hear me out. Bo Burnam as the emcee…

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

What if all the disasters in Revelation were effects of climate change? What if the feeling of apocalypse is appropriate because the very thing we created is what was envisioned? I’m not generally a literalist and certainly not a God is out to get humanity type, but we seem out to get ourselves.

For those who see powerful statements when denominational meetings conclude, remember that many churches have different meeting schedules. Just because one group is poised to make an urgent response in one moment, doesn’t mean others aren’t doing similar work and haven’t spoken/won’t speak. 1/

We are most faithful to our laments when we let them transform our lives and reform our world. Lament cannot be confused with stillness. It must be a kinetic force.

i give it a year tops before some administration account is tweeting pro-slavery propaganda

Movie posters need to use images of the actors in the same order they list their names. If there are four actors in a row, I need them under their names.

There are so many stories x10 more urgent than the Epstein files...those involving potentially innocent people suffering right now in foreign torture prisons and US concentration camps. But whatever it takes to upset MAGA, I guess.

They finally made the milk from that hotel

🧵of things I cling to about being a Presbyterian in the context of our current world: - God is a part of all things. Therefore it is important to consider all aspects of life (politics, education, food, health, environment, our bodies, everything)as a part of our call towards God’s kin-dom.*

Big Beautiful Bill is a little too close to BBL and that feels intentional.

Leave it to Danny Boyle and Alex Gardner to have me terrified, laughing, crying, profoundly introspective, and saying “wtf” all in one movie.

I need a phone setting where I can say: the sound I chose to play on (insert app here) overrides any other sound that’s being auto played elsewhere.

Box, pandora, something or other.
