I made the most beautiful mug ever and of course it’s my first piece with a cracked bottom. CRACKED BOTTOM!!!

They are playing KK Slider in the club

It’s so cold I cancelled the in person spin class I was supposed to go to tomorrow because I was legit worried that my sweat would freeze on my commute home.

Okay that’s enough of the primetime feed. Let’s replay the Team Free Dance.

Commentators noting that Ilia Malinin’s backflip is now legal and it’s like, yeah, because a white guy’s doing it now. (SURYA BONALY I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER)

Another great shot of Val Kilmer in Willow!

I love it when I have an idea in my head for design and it actually comes together.

Straight out the kiln 😤

Can’t say I loved the feeling of climbing a hill against heavy gusts of arctic wind, but the things I’ll do to get to pottery.

Good news, I got the behind-the-scenes deets on this week's big poop scene in THE PITT. (Per Isa Briones, there was actually a sniper laser target attached to the "poop cannon"!!!) decider.com/2026/02/06/t...

Love to go from "lol not the Italians honoring paparazzi in this Olympics opening ceremony" to "Oh, Matilda de Angelis. I've met her." 🫠

OH YEAH LET'S GET ITALIAN

I have now saved a screenshot of Lady Gwin of Ashford being aghast by Prince Aerion's vulgar behavior in the lists because I find myself making this exact reaction at least once a day in 2026. (Today was the puppy getting kicked by an ICE agent, if you want to know.)

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

Like it's really as easy as that to just... give yourself a three day weekend, I guess.

Me: So I was thinking of maybe taking Monday off because I have a really light calendar next week and it's not like I *need* a day off, but I could use a day off, and I have all these vacation days, but I don't know. My boss: I just put it on the calendar that you have Monday off. Me: Oh, cool.

Just watched Alysa Liu's short program from this AM's team event and I'm pretty sure she's the first person to say, "True dat," in the kiss and cry.

Wound up just doing a mash of both recipes and it’s so good.

Ahem @amfmpm.bsky.social:

Already home and in pjs and now the most stressful decision I have to make for the rest of the night is how specifically I want to cook a block of firm tofu for supper. Torn between my very blasphemous version of Dubu Jorim or my very tweaked version of Nisha Vora's viral shredded crispy tofu. 🤔

The Super Bowl has given me one good thing: early streaming releases for this Sunday's INDUSTRY and A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS.

HUGE, if true.

There was just something so aesthetically cozy about Bertie Carvel's whole deal during the KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS junket. I keep going back for transcriptions and I just want to have a cup of tea with him and talk about Beowulf in a cramped Oxbridge professor's office.

The astrology girlie in me needs to let you all know that the same woo-woo tarot weirdoes who predicted Trump would win again by a slim margin years ago, are now foretelling a hot spring-summer of society collapse and rebirth. Or not. Astrology is like that. But the history nerd in me agrees?

Brody King has the AEW crowd chanting FUCK ICE loud and proud on primetime cable television. Put every belt on him.

It is always so fucked up how exercising and eating well actually can make you feel better. Hate this for me, personally.

Afternoon addendum:

As a comedy fan whose kept tabs on George Fouracres since he fucking stole the show from peers like Phil Wang and Jason Forbes when their iteration of the Cambridge Footlights came to the UCB like 15 years ago... this is a good cast. (Also shoutout to Hammed, aka my boy Loial!)

Disassociating by listening to Madonna and working on interviews with actors from THE PITT.

just me explaining to my new tall friend, Ser Duncan the Tall, why we need to seize the means of production and overthrow the billionaire class

Oh. I have seen THE MUPPET SHOW. Sabrina is GREAT in this format, perfect even. It’s very cute and I’m 99% sure my favorite hyper specific running bit had to have been written by Gabe Leidman. As you were.

I’m actually quite moved by how swiftly she pivots away from her own grief and trauma - real and justified though it is - to remind us not to take our eyes off the women who were assaulted

i wanna write an Uncut Gems for Quark from DS9

I exercised for 20 minutes tonight while watching the ice dancing docuseries on Netflix - but I EXERCISED.

Look, it only took 10 months, but I finally found the last bits I needed to set up my SoulCycle at home bike so I can exercise in my apartment again.

Slept terribly and woke up with a big zit on my nose. This shall not be endured.

Don't worry, guys, I also got the scoop on the goose egg breakfast sandwich in last night's A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS.

For my hardcore ASOIAF lore nerds... Piggybacking off of last night's prophecy scene, I asked Dexter Sol Ansell and Peter Claffey if they knew ~anything~ about Dunk and Egg and Summerhall, and, uh... GRRM gave them some interesting new details? (or not?) decider.com/2026/02/02/a...

I understand intellectually that one day the snow will be gone, but right now it *feels* like it’s just going to be there, growing grosser by the day, forever.

Queued up some advance screeners for a show that I was hoping would be deliriously bad trash TV and, oh no, I think it might actually be good? Like a good show?

Don't worry, guys, I also got the scoop on the goose egg breakfast sandwich in last night's A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS.

My mid-interview internal monologue was like, "Oh, this sweet child is getting the finer details of Summerhall wrong." [Peter Claffey starts to panic.] "Oh, shit."
