Carly has a dozen all timers, but When I Needed You hits just impossibly hard. Bass line plucks something in my soul. youtu.be/6LaC5LYGNXk?...

Strongly disagree with one of the words belonging in the Yellow category of today's Connections.

I’ve become a big fan of the unexamined life. Huge.

Spoilers for Leviticus . . . . . . . . . . . . This is a romance, by the traditional definition

LGBT= Lebanese, Guatemalan, Bicoastal and the T still just stands for Trans

Not breaking any new ground here but, my god, “City on the Edge of Forever” is so great

Not to nostalgia post, but strawberries have never tasted better than after we picked and washed them from my parent’s garden when I was ten. And I can’t remember any of them being much bigger than a 50 cent piece

get in girls we're doing discourse

Brb, taking an enormous bet out on Polymarket that the next move the Trump admin does is just cover the Reflecting Pool with a giant blue tarp…

the 'heh, look at these cringes voting' shit is just more evidence for my thesis that pretty much everyone would be happier if a lot of folks putatively into politics just got really into like avant-garde art/music scenes or something, where you can exclude lames to your heart's content

Leftists when liberals are organizing to defeat the pro-meteor party

Not even like… poops?

Couldn’t be me saying “c’mon baby, you can do it” like the babu frik guy all week. Couldn’t be my partner saying “that’s a big pipe huh?” Couldn’t be.

Trump $250 bill is fitting, it’s what you’ll need to fill up a tank gas soon

Excited for this new movie coming out called IMAX

Critical enjoyment -> enjoyment of criticism -> criticism of enjoyment

I just discovered that E-mail exists in Star Wars

Don’t love the new Harry Styles song but the music video fucks

“Directionally very bad” is the phrase this era deserves

A very large and material part of my job is navigating the changes in rules the Supreme Court promulgates and the idea they don't make policy is facially risible

Generic ballot will peak for Dems in month or so and then tighten over the summer and everyone’s gonna wig and then it will open up again after Labor Day and everyone will be so fucking surprised that Dems take the House and Senate in November.

I made a 40 minute video about the F-slur in MM Romance for you: youtu.be/f55FjzkNkfU?...

Barnes & Noble doing a "double stamps" weekend over Independent Bookstore day is real loser shit

Kids making the Metro announcements during Autism acceptance month 🥹

Hall of fame FT correction

CRJ is the Dostoevsky of pop music, as many have said

Shuffle knows what’s going on

If you’re an “author” who obviously uses AI for marketing and you follow me, you’re going on the list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Fuck, space is so cool

Hot sauce politics

“Tap to pay”: you do what it says, perfectly understandable “Contactless”: you literally have to contact the thing, what is wrong with you

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

Real normal day on Twitter.com

"antisemitism-shaped" works as a term. It really does capture how conspiracy theories almost inevitably assume a form isomorphic to antisemitism, and from there sooner or later turn into pure antisemitism.

My body is a temple. It’s an ancient, crumbling ruin, haunted by ghosts of the past.

In the distant future, the bards will sing of how the gods punished the imperial capital with intense heat and bitter cold for the insolence of the mad king.

Going to my local coffee shop owned by a woman named Kathy, hoping no one recognizes that I softly hum Kate Bush “Wuthering Heights” every time I come.

Again, I know this isn’t a popular view, but turning AIPAC into this lurking bogeyman, treating it as the core villain of politics, the hidden hand behind all our woes, flies uncomfortably close to some far darker stuff. The amount we’re talking about it.. just doesn’t make a ton of sense to me.

Every evil dude in the Trump admin looks like they had a list of names in high school that would have gotten them sent to the counselors office.

Absolutely wild chart from @data.ft.com on the impact of sports betting legalization and credit scores.

Better at messaging than Democrats: the Lays potato chip company.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Very on-brand for Gingrich to seek out a new, younger canal the moment the current canal starts having health problems
