Then the Grinch showed up!

I love New Orleans on Christmas Eve.

"Real discussion" = smoke blown up my ass

Search your first name and then "glamour shot" and post a photo. 😎

Absolutely scuffed. Nothing left. Call it a day.

Last night I made a reservation at N7 for 5:30pm (!) because, according to Resy, that was all they had available for a two-top. Come 6:30pm there were six two-tops still open!

This didn't make it in, but I tried telling the reporter that the reason students use LLMs with impunity is that 70% of faculty are temporary, contingent workers who require perfect student evals to continue having a job. Cheating is a problem we chose to have and pretend to be mad about.

There are only two movies for adults playing nearby, and the old man and I are arguing. He: "'Hamnet' sounds boring, unless you like mud. It's about the mud times." I: "It's about Shakespeare." He: "You know who didn't write it? Shakespeare."

Today in enshittification: this J Crew sweater is one month old

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

Joseph Cotten, who should've been nominated for several performances, especially "Citizen Kane" (1941) and "Shadow of a Doubt" (1943), among others.

it's Christmas Eve but it's also the 16 year anniversary of the time an art historian for the Hungarian National Gallery spotted a long lost painting while watching Stuart Little with his 3-year-old daughter, recognizing it in the movie set

Lena Horne backstage at Carnegie Hall in New York City, 1941

Well, I did watch it after Snidely Whiplash posted it on Bluesky, so

A reminder during the holidays, this includes family gatherings! @dasharez0ne.bsky.social

A Lake Charles woman has been summoned for hit-and-run driving, driving under suspension and operating a motor vehicle with no insurance in reference to a horse-drawn carriage crash near Millenium Park.

“…since they are Canadian, I would not rule out treachery”

Had a French waiter ask me if I was still "working on" my cocktail, so we've lost that battle.

I guess my hot take is that AI isn’t the bubble, it’s the pin that pops the bubble.

"Delaware State Police posted on X about the active shooter and said more updates are to follow." This is why I never get critical emergency updates in this state of 25 people

Everyone being confused about what's real and what isn't real isn't an accident.

The people who file these lawsuits should be burned alive to keep endangered queer animals warm

Animals are smart and humans are, despite everything, *incredibly* prosocial. More than anything, that's what's allowed us to dominate Earth. We are hard-wired to help each other. That's why the arguments against empathy are so bizarre. They're not just wrong, they're fundamentally anti-human.

I’ve been giggling for the last 5min

Why is it important that we know she's a "mom?" Headlines like this annoy the shit out of me.

imagine if we had a media that screamed for the blood of powerful sex criminals the same way they scream for the blood of shoplifters

I mute posters I generally support, but who annoy me occasionally, to take a break. If I see quote posts that intrigue me, I'll unmute them temporarily, or until they annoy me again.

Happy Festivus to all that celebrate….is everyone ready to air out their grievances?

IT COULD BE ANYBODY WE JUST DON'T KNOW

how did i not know about this site, this is wild www.jmail.world

Oh

This is wild. Why would a line like this be redacted: “Epstein also threatened harm to victims and helped release damaging stories about them to damage their credibility when they tried to go public with their stories of being trafficked and sexually abused.”

One of the three extant buildings from Storyville, the famous red-light district in New Orleans, is facing demolition. I found that it'd been a Black bar, making it the only link to the community of color that lived and worked on the backstreets of the district. acloserwalknola.com/places/joe-v...

Everyone is 12

I suspect a fair number of us share Broderick Crawford's sentiment this year. (Pastiche by the great Cris Shapan)

looking for a last minute gift at williams sonoma

Me tomorrow

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Someone needs a pardon.

I just feel like the appropriate response to white supremacists claiming Black Americans are not Americans is a simple “fuck off,” not dragging up the descendants of some slaver’s rape babies. Seriously. Fuck that shit.

Chef Pro-Tip: you're actually destroying the meat if you throw em in the pot. They tense up and the muscles get hard as death sets in. Knife isn't just more human but better tasting. Also true with fish as the Japanese have a particular method for sushi: www.aftco.com/blogs/ocean-...

Dec. 22, 1925: Alice Heine, the U.S.-born princess dowager of Monaco, dies at 68 in Paris. The heiress to a New Orleans fortune had been married to the microstate’s ruler from 1889 to his death in 1922, and collaborated with Diaghilev in creating its world-class opera and ballet.

Just apropos of several things going on on this site, I don’t want to be see mean or judgy (this isn’t a value judgement, to be clear), but I really feel like a lot of people are functionally illiterate. This goes beyond reading comprehension issues.
