My only parenting advice: Don't smell your kids laundry just assume it's dirty and put it in the wash

My only parenting insight is that both of my daughters would be easily put to sleep by dancing to "Tusk" and only that song.

Today’s mood.

I often think of Trump Steaks, the official Trump branded steak that you could only buy at consumer electronics shop Sharper Image and teleshopping network QVC.

If your band plays Alt-Rock and you start adding pop elements to your sound then you just end up playing Pop Rock, which is still okay, but if your band is Alt-Country, well that’s a much slipperier slope

Did people miss what happened with uber? I can't tell. Destroy an entire industry with a lot of dispersed ownership, concentrate it under one company, and now its 3x as expensive to get around everywhere. Except the "dispersed ownership" here refers to "the whole internet and all information"

i think people seem to still be under the impression that corporations are seeking to achieve profitability when they are instead searching desperately for ways to further precaritize labor

No one in Europe or the US wants to admit that these guys are WAY to the right of the European Far Right. Like Meloni is probably slightly to the left of, say, Fetterman these days.

Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.

We talk a lot about how the GOP has become the party for bigots and the party for dummies, but we should spend a little more time talking about how the GOP has become the natural political home for losers.

I'm really not one for rival bashing, I find a lot of the EPL fandom really silly in that respect. But. Absolutely shameful stuff from Tottenham here. Forget the inclusion aspect of it, how are you going to let Slavia Prague tell you what flags you can fly at your own ground!?!? Pathetic.

As a parent I love walkable neighbourhoods cause I can send my kid to the store to get stuff I need. No big conspiracy, I'm just lazy.

This entrance in the middle of summer 2022 when the season was starting to get that "maybe we are that good and will make a run" energy was something that just is so beautiful when it happens organically. I will miss this:

I wonder if arsenal would do this?

you WILL be open to new experiences. we are no longer asking.

As much as I love weirdos, a few people could be a tad more normal

I swear youre not alphamogging your workplace by bumping your shoulder against the doorway on the way in

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

Their analysis never goes further than "these are just silly children who need to be told to grow up". I think it's because the last time any of these monsters had any political positions that weren't just pointless cruelty, they were students. So they assume thats the trajectory everyone is on.

“This is a strange, perilous moment for arts coverage in America, a moment of atomization and almost purgatorial transition to new forms that no one, it seems, can yet see clearly.” —Matthew Aucoin

Do you know what classical music is? The term is applied to radically different compositions across more than 1,000 years of history, Matthew Aucoin writes. We need a better definition.

I hope that coffee set really exists, Fred.

i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.

Lyon lance sa Fête des Lumières 2025

I don’t think any other animation school treats its student film releases like a major event more than Gobelins. They have a whole marketing arm for them. Each film has their own social media accounts. There’s even merchandise.

Our school is in the news, but not necessarily for good reasons www.leprogres.fr/education/20...

🎁 Les fêtes de Noël approchent et vous cherchez quoi offrir à votre tante mélomane ? Bob Dylan, Nico, Sister Irene O’Connor… Libé a sélectionné pour vous quelques pépites musicales à placer sous le sapin 👇

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

Stories like this beautifully written one by @laurayuen.bsky.social should forever eclipse Garrison Keillor’s cartoons of the state (not to mention the nightmarish “fall of Mpls” vision sold to MAGA—the entire enterprise was started in the Phillips neighborhood) 🎁

I buy the Cabaret theory of modern politics: current right wing politics was, once upon a time, a thing elites sold to rubes while merely pretending to believe themselves while they pursued wealth, but now the True Believers are actually in charge and acting on sincerely believed insane nonsense.

My roadmap for the American dictatorship of the proletariat runs through the Post Office

I don't think the scene in Lyon is rigorous enough to support this art zine launch. Any takers out there?

Big question on the Netflix deal is - will they buy my wife's pilot now?

Holy shit

6, 11, 14, 16, and 18 are still a big part of my life!

Swoon

I'm not actually a big Tarkovsky guy, but this is one of the goats. Every frame a painting type thing. The extras on cc are also worth a spin.

#letterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched -Fassbinder getting weird with Stoppard/Nabokov -possibly the worst thing I've ever seen -hot take - Bogart would have been better than Grant here, and the guy who played Gent would have been a better Lord Jim/McPherson - Herzog, c'est ça

Four Christmas movies to know me by:

Kael could've been a JCO level poster.

When you are Finnish, everything looks like sauna

"elite capture of the fourth estate" feels like the grim answer to a lot of questions these days I gotta say they're emboldened to say this shit because they know the entire media apparatus will just hand them the mic, applaud afterwards, and tell anyone who says WTF?? to shut up

Are we in a game of chicken to see how far a handful of freaks can push things until we bring back consequences and / or guillotines? How have we hyper-normalized them saying this shit out loud in public?

This might, subversively, be one of the books for our times (bad).

Perhaps the smartest #ClimateAction investment in cities is in public transit. While others make excuses, Paris is building a WHOLE NEW METRO NETWORK CONNECTING SUBURBS. “…the Grand Paris Express, a new 200km system with 4 new lines & 68 new stations.” #ActionStartsHere @mayors4climate.bsky.social
