Are all these people just so effing wealthy they are completely removed from the issues most people face? I mean, many would consider me a rich white woman and yet! I support these candidates, universal healthcare, tax the rich, and car-free zones and yes, I could GO ON. They are in for a surprise.

“All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done.” - Tish James on Mamdani 👀😳

Bored or anxious or blocked? May I suggest a simple silent retreat? I wrote up how & why to do this. The main point is to remove distractions, inputs, outputs so the detritus sitting in the pit of your tummy & the back of your brain can surface & be swept away. www.roxannedarling.com/inthetransit...

Who's keeping the odds on whether Jaime H or Mark Z will win the post-election ratio this week? Both are making solid advances today. IYKYK

Once again, an anti-woo woo person discovers merit in silence. FYI, this is re: a silent meditation retreat, which is different from a silent retreat which is different from a mediation retreat. So many retreats to choose from! apple.news/A2gM_1BfyS1G...

Everyone deserves to be happy. Relationships cemented in the “must last forever” mentality are already decaying. I’ve had 3 longterm relationships. It was painful ending each one. And, I regained good, even happy, terms with each ex. Consciousness is our friend. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/w...

Irony: The Road Less Travelled is the one with more adventure. So, to have more adventure, don’t do what you’ve always done. 🤷‍♀️

NEITHER IS EASY

Art may just save us after all. These are brilliant and funny.

The most redeeming thing about reading the NYT is how they’re constantly schooled by the readers. Go see the most-upvoted comments shredding this stoopid headline & lack of evidence in the article. The Times is not changing, but we’re making our own paper of record.🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/n...

Hey @support.bsky.team Since I was given access to chat, there is a persistent blue bubble and the number 1 over my Chat icon. I have cleared all messages and for days now, can’t make it go away. Can you please help? Thanks very much.

Reposting this useful and centuries-late science update. I mean, for the photo if nothing else.

This ragebait posting is so unhelpful. It was more than one bad debate. The human brain wants these singular moments; there's always more to the story! It's no excuse they don't give a similarly harsh treatment to the current pres. They are two separate issues and they should be addressed as such.

i enjoyed the contemplative musings in this interview w writer Ben Lerner—the weaving in/out of real & imagined lives, choice of 1st, 2nd, 3rd p voice, & inability for even the smartest to resolve the ambiguities that define life as much as anything else. 📚💙 link.newyorker.com/view/656d1ea...

Hey USA! Our UK friends are getting the early shot to see this. Be sure to head outside at/just after sunset today to catch this.

Start at the top Of this thread. This takeaway re embodiment is the key we are seeing more and more related to AI. The so-called 'wetness' (as the bros refer to our flesh-based attributes) is what separates us and I think elevates us far beyond AI's possibilities.

“Joyce has a most goddamn wonderful book. It’ll probably reach you in time." -Ernest Hemingway describes #Ulysses in a March 1922 letter to Sherwood Anderson Happy #Bloomsday, everyone! (This Al Hirschfeld caricature is from @ransomcenter.bsky.social's art collection.) #BookSky #modernism 🗃️📜🎨📚

The first biophilic president — notice how the official portraits continue to include plants, flowers, greenery, light — a return to nature and its essential force of life, not AI modernist monstrosities. And painted by a human being, not a machine. 🌿

“the Stones have never stuck to one genre or style and yet always end up sounding just like themselves.”

I'm sitting outside, listening to the thunder as I get an emergency weather alert, and I think they might be talking about this:

I know I am petty but I haven't forgiven them for getting rid of the copy editors and the public editor. A measurable portion of our complaints about their headlines are just from idiocy. Like they have an intern on it or something similarly dumb.

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

All of this! The post, the pic, the man. I just love it.

All credit to Rep. Beatty. And yet she persisted.

So good. So short. So packed with, "yeah, I can relate-ness." Thank you @jamesmontgomery.bsky.social

Groundbreaking research on cancer prevention. The subtext is a near perfect combination of using genuine human research, w available efficiencies of LLM's, to speed up results. As usual, binary thinking on anything obscures both its negative & positive traits. erictopol.substack.com/p/a-new-path...

And yet another meme is born, the meme wars being all that we have to save our sanity and hopefully democracy.

Dios mío! “ASMR” as the workers speak Spanish doing the work of restoration of at least one law in our Nation’s capital. 😂

David Hockney. May we see a surge in deeply felt whimsy as he and his genius leave us.

Gift link. The author bemoans the state of the legal profession‘s in$ider ba$eball, yet launders a horrendous fellow lawyer’s complicity, hence, being the exact problem he “seeks” to change. And what image consultant told her to dress like a Mormon wife? 🤮 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/o...

Hey! Let's talk about SALUTOGENESIS. It's the study & focus on creating health vs stopping illness. In the new field of neuroaesthetics, designers & architects are realizing their main job is not to make things pretty (or different or unique) but to create spaces that grow health. 🧵

I'm starting an ICE Air podcast with @jjindc.bsky.social, called Worst Airline Ever. First ep will drop soon. I get most of my news from podcasts tbh, maybe you do too? It'll be depressing and enraging, yes. BUT we'll also tell you what you can do to fight back. www.patreon.com/cw/worstairl...
