Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Long shot, I know, but I have someone looking for firewood in Winston Salem, NC area. We can get a quick pick up for her, if you have a lead.

i do not know how this goes on for three more years

“Paul Cohen is, as far as he knows, the only Jew in Greenland.” Write me a novel that starts like this story

Oakland Animal Services has been absolutely slammed this month and they are over capacity. There are 4 dogs with a Monday euthanasia date right now. I’m picking one up for foster & hopefully you can too! Go grab one of these babies!

Hundreds of millions of earbuds, headphones and speakers need a security update (yes, you need to update your earbuds) to prevent a wireless hacking technique that can hijack audio, eavesdrop via mics, and in some cases remotely track the accessory’s location. www.wired.com/story/google...

How skilled is this job

Men created AI-generated images of this woman and used them to create an OnlyFans account so they can make money off abusing her. They can do this to any of us, and no one’s doing enough to stop them. I feel like I’m screaming into the void.

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Waiting for “Waiting for Godot”

You know it's bad because they got him to go from Queens to Brooklyn

“The Phoenician Scheme” as it should be seen

I cannot wait for the all-ferret production of Jurassic Park

Very I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell energy

Bernie has arrived! My tree is done!

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

“Wake Up Dead Man” is a goddamn masterpiece. Someone could make just that movie and be proud of their entire life. It’s the only thing that’s ever made me reconsider the idea and meaning of the church - not Catholicism, the church. An incredible, moving feat overall

I always hope to see my parents in New York footage from this era. It would have been totally plausible for this one because my mom furnished our home from Bloomingdale’s and loved to shop there. When I was little we regularly went to browse dresses and have frozen yogurt at the one in Queens

Nobody writes a celebrity food story like @ralter.bsky.social and this gives me everything I wanted to know about hot ice cream

Curious if anyone has read this book

I have had a terrible year and I couldn’t exactly afford a birthday gift for myself this year but I bought one anyway. It was supposed to be delivered today but got stolen. Truly appropriate for the time I have had lately

From harm to children & vulnerable adults to systems that discriminate in ways that are not just unethical but actually illegal -- plus all the disemployment of artists by systems trained *on their work* it's crazy to *not* be upset about AI writ large

I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful: All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

AI sounds exactly like the type of people who use AI. A real chicken and the egg situation

I knew they would come for the Italianx

This planet is wild

This started selling out everywhere after I posted, so I caved and bought one of the last ones out there. It’s being shipped from Brooklyn, my paternal borough (I’m Queens on my mom’s side)

we recently moved the bookshelves to the front of Astoria Food Pantry and ppl have been using them much more which makes me SO HAPPY but also means we need more books! we love donations from neighbors, authors, publishers, (galleys are great), etc. you can DM me or email [email protected]

This guy has all of your data

I am begging someone to make individual LED Hanukkah candles

I really want this ornament but I cannot justify the price www.etsy.com/listing/1054...

Wait, this weather is called Winter Storm Chan? I finally got a storm named after me?

Somehow I have never read "The Secret History" until now. I am only partway through but have rabbit-holed into the world surrounding it. If you have any interest in Donna Tartt, Bret Easton Ellis, or Jonathan Lethem or just like gossip, set aside a few hours and hit play on this

Wearing the fluffiest coat imaginable for my birthday

“Sagittarius and Scorpio have absolutely carried the brunt of this retrograde.” As a Sagittarius sun and Scorpio rising who has had an unbelievably hellish last few weeks, I will not doubt astrology again

I am not for celebrating the winter holidays before December but I did stock up on Italian Christmas staples

There’s Christmas music playing at CVS the day before Thanksgiving and that’s what happens when Republicans control all three branches of the federal government.

How long is too long to hold onto an app just for a bit?

It doesn′t matter if you love him or capital H-I-M Just put your paws up 'Cause you were born this way, baby My mama told me when I was young, "We are all born superstars" She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on in the glass of her boudoir

I have been going through a horrible time but today I went to get a haircut and then took myself out for a slice and a nonalcoholic Aperol Spritz that I enjoyed while reading the end of “Ghosts” by Dolly Alderton

I have read the poem that you put behind a paywall and which someone should have told me to save for after breakfast I will not forgive you you’re all atrocious so dumb and so gross

Grizzly Man (2005)

There is nothing wrong with the Issey Miyake iPhone bag but this is a shonda

This pains me as a woman journalist but it is incredible content
