“We’re bringing back cheesesteak, but in audio form” Bruh, you make no sense. 🙄

Tired: “Happy Fourth of July!” Wired: “It says ‘All men are created equal,’ regardless of citizenship or job status.” Inspired: *Actively throwing off the chains of tyranny*

This is too wholesome

What does the new Pope think of Ricobenes?!

Fantastic reporting here by Cat. And honestly, tea!

Wishing every dictator and oligarch a very wary Ides of March. Senators, do your job.

Bruh, the Dollar Store.

Listen, I understand the motivation of folks like Gavin Newsom trying to ‘meet folks where they are’ but let me say this clearly: Scapegoatting trans folks is not the answer. Giving in to the people you think are winning the culture wars, does not itself win you the culture wars.

What a good time to watch last weeks “Have I got news for you!” @roywoodjr.bsky.social @amberruffin.bsky.social & @michaelianblack.bsky.social are (as always) the perfect antidote to gaslighting. And this week @davesfoley.bsky.social & @jasmineforus.bsky.social are a breath of fresh air!

To help homes survive more intense disasters, FEMA has been developing recommendations for stronger building codes. The Trump Administration has pulled them back.

Hey Siri, where can I get a Chris Kluwe jersey?

*that one gif of Judge Judy tapping her watch* It is Monday.

We back!! @hignfyus Season 2 kicks off tonight. CNN 9/e or stream it tomorrow on @StreamOnMax

TFW you accidentally make the same argument as Pharoah before he kills thousands of babies.

This but now it’s the Oval Office.

I could really use an ORTBO right about now.

He saw that Cooper DeJean interception and said, “That’s it, no more copper, getting rid of copper, nobody likes him.”

Wait, they have a DEI Quarterback?! 😡

Oh I see they got a DEI ref. Re-flip!

Hot tip: That statement about “owning Gaza” is a blustery distraction from the richest man in the world dismantling the U.S. AID and attempting to seize OPM & the Treasury Dept.

My colleagues at @npr.org have a really great searchable table of Trump's first week of Executive Orders, and what precisely they do/call for. Really useful! www.npr.org/2025/01/28/n...

Chat, am I talking to myself?

I have friends who work for Head Start programs and I’m hearing that they cannot make payroll because of this. Translation: Not only does this place childcare for thousands in jeopardy, but the people who SERVE those children and families may not even be able to make ends meet.

This. But mine is: Arcade Fire! At The Disco (not so much cursed as wildly dangerous.)

Listen y’all, don’t drag me for this, but I don’t hate this red dye ban. It may be performative and ultimately not change much itself; but, it isn’t a *bad* idea.

The richest man in the world doing THAT while the President signs an Executive Order to try and end birthright citizenship certainly *feels* like an intentional distraction.

Something something blah blah Grover Cleveland, something something something.

Happy convergence of winter holidays!!

Wait, but seriously, imagine watching ‘Boy Meets World’ and thinking Cory Matthews is a jock.

For the first time since 2005, Christmas and Hanukkah start on the same day. I wrote about that and my interfaith crew for @nytimes.com. (Gift link for the holidays!)

If you didn’t see (or don’t care about lol) my thread on Wicked, this is the @nprmusic.bsky.social Tiny Desk I mentioned. So at the very LEAST, give yourself the gift of enjoying it! 🧙‍♀️🫧💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFgW...

Just got out of the theater after seeing Wicked and I thought it was fantastic! I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with the show; love because I think the music is very good, which—while we’re on the subject…

Idk, to me it seems like it is only possible “to make something a scandal” if you can expect the perpetrator to face any amount of blowback. Otherwise it’s just scandalizing into the void.

An autistic journalist covers the nomination of RFK Jr., who has theories about autism. www.npr.org/2024/11/29/n...

I need to stop listening to Pop Culture Happy Hour in public. @lindaholmes.bsky.social @aishaharris.bsky.social & @ohitsbigron.bsky.social got me out here looking like a fool nodding my head in agreement and verbally affirming a conversation I’m not even a part of! 😂

WARNING: Hot take in 3…2…1… I don’t mind motion smoothing and—on occasion—I enjoy it. *cowers as the masses grab their pitchforks*

Someone called me kind earlier. So yeah, it’s a good fucking day!

Question for the chat: What other phrases give the same vibes as “Where my hug at?”

Me, once again, trying to explain the difference between NPR, PBS, CPB and your local public radio station.

For the record, in this house we WILL quote Troy’s <<problematic>> Fences monologe! (The one after Cory asked “How come you aint never liked me?”) Because. That. Is. Writing.

Excellent! 👇👇👇

Has that SNL clip of Daniel Craig saying, “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Weeknd.” made it over here to Bluesky yet? Because it’s Friday, soooo...

Ok, but when ‘WWF No Mercy’ on N64 shows up on standardized tests, my kids are going to be way more prepared than yours!

I whipped up a Starter Pack for the hosts and producers of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour -- please spread it far and wide!

Alright “Blue-ski” let’s see how you do with this… ‘Red One’ is not exactly a *good* movie, but it is kind of a FUN movie! Join @lindaholmes.bsky.social, @mrsfridaynext.bsky.social, and me on our unofficial mission: “To spread cheer asshole.” www.npr.org/2024/11/15/1...
