I need to be banned from listening to Audrey Hobert's album before I make myself sick of it. Luckily Oct 3 isn't far away...

You know it’s been a good night when the only memento you have is the one that covered your camera

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

As part of my goal to read more classics, I sometimes check with Sparknotes to ensure my interpretation of the books are correct. This time confirming that the gothic novel references really do come out of left field in Northanger Abbey.

Relieved to hear on this week's Every Single Album that @noraprinciotti.bsky.social and @nathanchubbard.bsky.social are equally as puzzled by Nobody's Son's popularity on Manchild. On the other hand, the Abba-esque Goodbye definitely needs more love.

Two pop girl summers in a row, thankful for this musical renaissance 💅🏼

I said I wouldn’t fly to the US for the next four years, but for Eeny I just might.

Is S3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty completely written by AI? No amount of TS songs can save it.

Here's one chain of reasoning in the policy document about engaging with children.

Many excellent, and depressing, observations in this article.

all you have to do is accept a date with a guy you don't really want to go out with and you too can marry your dream nazi

Guessing it's not an incredibly competitive market for CEOs in the world of croquet with this salary...

Me: Pitching legit well thought out story ideas that get completely ignored.. The Guardian:

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.

Rooting for Iga Swiatek as I've found her so endearing throughout the tournament, but also feeling it for Anisimova. Let's not forget Swiatek was also incredibly dominant in the semi- and quarter- finals. #wimbledon

Are we sure cost of living pressures are easing? I paid £16 for a double vodka red bull two weeks ago.

This is a really great story on the sadly dwindling perception of internet culture reporter embedded.substack.com/p/is-the-int...

It's so depressing that a senior editor was like, "you know what I'll do, I will use AI to generate a non-fiction book list." Instead of you know looking around and asking the newsroom, which is/was filled with experienced biz journalists, what non-fiction business books they'd recommend.

Wonder what’s behind Meta’s spendy marketing campaign showing Whatsapp messages are completely private. And no I still don’t believe them,

Although I desperately want to see what #TaylorSwift could do with a re-recording of Reputation, it's also refreshing to know she too keeps putting off important tasks. www.taylorswift.com

It's not surprise that Chelsea just won the FA Cup. What is a surprise that Alexis Ohanian wants to grow women's football but then chooses to invest in the one team that is already extremely dominant and makes watching UK women's football predictable. #FACup #womensfacup #wsl

Microsoft laid off 6,000 employees this week to reduce management layers. Instead they should have just fired Nadella and replaced him with Copilot.

One of my lessons from writing about the VC industry is that the less shady you are, the less money you get from VCs.

“We have a vandal in the neighborhood. He was described as 18 to 24 inches tall, wearing black and white with a red hat.”

It’s amazing how fame and money changes performers. Katy Perry’s very first tour in the Glasgow Barrowlands has always ranked in my top ten because of her killer vocals and off-the-cuff banter with the crowd. Now it’s like there’s no sign of life beyond platitudes and girl power catchphrases.

NEW 🧵 The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border. Story: www.ft.com/content/6dc1...

After 2.5 months, and with the help of some unseasonably warm weather, I am pleased (and relieved…) to have finally finished reading Vanity Fair. #booksky

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit
