For the cover of Businessweek’s December issue, I wrote about the reigning queen of America’s strip malls: Ulta Beauty, the country’s biggest beauty retailer (yes, bigger than Sephora) and quietly one of the more fascinating retailers in the country. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

please let this go to discovery, i want to see how badly this man holds it together during a deposition

Really unfair of this year's oblivious Lexus commercial to use Landslide to try to make me have feelings

Richest country in the history of the world. Btw sorry about your cancer we totally know how to treat but you gotta die penniless in a gutter because you aren’t one of the twenty people we’ve decided to dig up all the riches of the earth for. Also we’ll murder your orphans if they’re gay btw

Toddler parent here. One of the things we're told is that you need to decide to up front if you're going to cave, and if you are to just cave right away. Letting your toddler bully you into what they wanted all along sends the wrong message.

Gotham and Pride deserve each other, going to be a lot more flopping and time wasting and pointing fingers than soccer

Are we gonna talk about how this directly impacted the quarters via Cooper's injury or Yes this sounds salty, that doesn't make it wrong

Esther not starting is nowhere near an equivalent injury to Chawinga and Cooper both unavailable, don't be stupid

Sports are dumb

Love when the camera zooms in on the player with the ball, strips away all context, and then there's a foul off the ball that nobody saw 🫠

KC ties it in stoppage time, Wheeler with the goal

!!!!!!!!!?!!?!?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh lol why is AKB down, this is so fucking stupid

Stop fucking flopping, you twats And stop fucking rewarding it

Sports 😭

Omfg nobody asked for split screen with Brittany trying to explain the advisory board

Is AKB's hair longer or shorter than usual? She doesn't usually look this much like a 15 year old boy.

Immigration is a central if not primary feature of American Catholicism. For its often-awful flaws, it gave people new to these shores a sense of belonging and dignity in a country frequently determined to deny them both. This is antithetical to nearly two centuries of religious practice.

People are dying, Tyler, I really hope your lord and Savior wasn't distracted helping you win the football game.

We throw on 4th down a lot

I used this feature on a business trip recently. All three of my rides were picked up by male drivers. Most cities just don't have enough female drivers for this to cut into mens' opportunities even if you think that's what it's doing

Ew, Spirit

Fucking Walgreens doesn't bother to actually keep ADHD meds in stock and doesn't staff their pharmacies well enough for there to be someone available to answer phones, so every month we do this stupid dance to get meds. And the assholes in charge are like "good, maybe she'll give up"

I hate that this is now a regularly scheduled announcement, but SNAP is 9X the size of the charitable food system. Food banks and pantries need help helping folks right now. If you can donate or volunteer, please do. If you need help, it's out there. Find your Feeding America food bank here:

Wrong answers only, please.

Here's a video Hermes released a while ago showing the process of saddle stitching.

We get it, you're not like other girls, now shut the fuck up

Discovering that Sam Darnold's grandfather was the Marlboro Man should not have shaken me like this but here we are

I know I keep RTing this but they said he was AD, took it back, and now have reaffirmed it again. And I cannot get over that a person who ignored a confession of DV against an LSU athlete is now in charge of the entire athletic department and all LSU athletes.

Stunning story by @jesspish.bsky.social: He became the most famous sheriff in the U.S. after his hunt for his wife's "real killers" inspired a $60 million 1973 blockbuster ($430 million in today dollars). It was all a lie and his hometown can't deal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

People are sick and tired of being a turnout machine for elections but sidelined when it comes to deciding the platform, this person said: ​“We should be electing people that are about us, not whenever they need us. "

inside you there are two wolves "everyone is fighting their own battle and it is important to reserve judgment and provide patience" vs "shut the fuck up, just shut up, you need to shut up"

Huh, assumed that the not quite black block M on the new neighbor's car was a faded Mizzou sticker, apparently it is navy on purpose because I just saw him in a Michigan hat and shirt.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Omfg I am not okay at the Current's teaser post because we either signed Bia or Lo to a three year deal and that almost certainly means we won't sign the other (or Hailie Mace, but I mostly made my peace with that earlier this summer) 😭

IF YOU HAVE A POLICY PROBLEM, BRING IT UP WITH YOUR PLAYER REP, OR THE NWSLPA, OR THE LEAGUE OFFICE, OR EVEN YOUR OWNERSHIP SO YOU DON’T HURT PEOPLE. YOU DON’T WHINE TO THE NEW YORK POST AND FOX AND FRIENDS UNLESS YOU ARE A GRIFTING GRIFTER.

This administration is so sloppy that discovery might actually get defeated?!?! @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social

Actually bullying racists and transphobes sets a great example

a lot of people are quoting this and saying things like “standing up for trans rights is a winning political strategy” and while I agree with this, win or lose standing up for trans rights is important - no, vital - because it’s the right thing to do.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

once again we sr in actual elections that being anti-trans is not actually an election winner, and being pro-trans doesn't actually cost you elections. defending trans people may not necessarily win you elections, but it won't lose them either and it's the right thing to do

Wildly disappointing considering Temwa Chawinga has also received racial and transphobic abuse. It would be nice for all teams to be proactive about backing and protecting all players instead of waiting for something else to happen.

My county offers three designs of "future voter" stickers and I have taken my 19 month old with me to vote enough times that he's had all of them at least once

One would think if someone was a recent catholic convert and the pope called then on their shit personally they'd freak out, but these types of catholic converts begin day 1 being pope of their own schism

Amazing. The man isn't even mayor yet but he's already solving our trash problems.

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

I need to go vote (in Kansas) this afternoon, but it's for city council and school board and the community college board of trustees and the county water board

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

Anyway, Dick Cheney is a fossil fuel now. It's what he loved most. Besides killing.
