i think what makes this era especially stupid is that we know should we get a dem win in 2028 we’re gonna revert right back to a barrage of stupid uproar headlines from the media because he, like, wore a fancy watch or knows how to properly pronounce quinoa

now that they film the finales contiguous to the season, it means that the audience for the finale haven’t got to see the queens through the episodes at all, right? makes the initial walkthrough less climactic if the audience haven’t seen the queens’ storylines

just started margo’s got money troubles and michelle pfeiffer is great as expected but shyanne’s age throws me off. from the setup, i’d expect early 40s while pfeiffer is mid-60s. it’d be so interesting if shyanne had margo later in life but it seems like they’re just having pfeiffer play younger?

i’m gonna need another coffee while distinguishing between notar, darse cuenta, fijarse, and percatarse seems like notar, is to notice as in to sense darse cuenta, to notice as in to realize fijarse, to notice as in to pay attention percatarse, to notice as in to dawn upon

ouuuuu this feels naughty. and they say bluesky is vanilla

how schumer voted should be noted by folks who believe that if hillary or kamala won we’d have a different foreign policy. this isn’t meant as a gotcha but rather further context, given the unbearable violence and cruelty we’ve seen, why some people felt they couldn’t vote for either party

he is so, so good at this

so many people i know have been struggling since last week’s news, and i think this passage explains it well. very little in our lives materially changed; but, the lack of accountability requires recalibrating just how broken the system is and to live within this is to slowly hollow out

allbirds the shoe company has announced it will sell off all its shoe-related assets to become an AI neocloud, and in true meme fashion the stock jumped from $2.49 as high as $24.31 if you’re curious where the AI bubble is at right now

ok tmz becoming THE source of speaking truth to us power was not on my bingo card

in the past, news like this would create outrage, but people are so overwhelmed end the media landscape so changed that it barely registers

This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city. It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten. Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.

the scrubs revival is one of the rare ones to bring back the feeling of the original, aside from a few bill lawrence-isms (like way too many unnecessarily complicated and out-of-character moments to bring home a “lesson”)

Recall migrants eating dogs and cats, per DT. Peter Magyar the Hungarian PM-elect is on record in February 2026 to point to Samsung plant's guest workers from Philippines eating ducks and goldfish! The extreme anti-POC/migrant rhetoric remains a staple. Congratulations Hungary on ousting Orban.

perhaps the semiconductor and chip makers should ask claude and chatgpt if hogging all the helium that should be going to medical imaging will improve or degrade the public’s attitude toward LLMs lol

*slash funding for essential services because austerity/efficiency* *service degrades considerably* *public decries worse service, arguing for further cuts since it doesn’t work as intended* i hate that this works so frequently, and there are so rarely countering virtuous cycles

ok thinking of working with queer seniors, and there doesn’t seem like there are too many options, which is honestly heartbreaking for a city our size

Going to be so funny watching people try and act like this never happened one day

people still booking overseas travel for the summer without any precautions (refundable accommodations are a must!!) tells me that very few people are ready for what will hit us in a few weeks time

i love this moment because you can see juicy glancing over at mia, in case it’s a chance for another moment performing together. she’s very good at this awareness, and seeing her find ways to perform with while still performing against really won be over

something i’ve been reflecting on is how western culture dictates a threshold for when grief and trauma is serious enough to be “real” and how this binary nature means many push down examining the losses in their life. i think there’s a clear line from this to our unwillingness to look at death

just fyi, mmiwg2s+ expanded the acronym to include people who don’t fit the gender binary, including 2-spirit, non-binary, and indigiqueer, as people also disproportionately affected by gender-related violence. canada remains smug in its anti-indigeneity, as illustrated by this and the PM’s quip

trying to find queer-friendly salsa lessons and most of the search results are from events a decade ago, sigh

the issue with an all-ru lip sync tournament is you won’t get a natural woman or and i am telling you moment. i adore who won but it would have been interesting to see more variety in the tracks

i’m always a bit shocked how people underestimate the premium they pay for convenience, or rather how quickly that premium has shot up since VCs stopped subsidizing post-2022. i don’t think this person knew many stores upcharge to pass along the fees they pay to instacart

i know i crap on canada a lot but like what does it say that asian and european countries are steadily moving forward in turning that country into a pariah and our media and politicians still can barely muster anything more than empty jargon? literally, move to where the puck is going

so right now my candidate is that a major sporting event or concert tour gets postponed due to skyrocketing fuel prices. it’s a dark horse, but i think that might be populist enough to spark a “oh wow this is really happening” moment

i need to return more purposefully to volunteering. i did a lot more pre-pandemic and it is time to rebuild that muscle

the taco languaging is especially distasteful when you consider, of course, foremost the 90 million people, but also the stories of the working class in southeast asia and latin america struggling to make ends meet due to the whims of the conflict it’s all just a parlour game for the west

legitimately wanted to puke processing today after the ceasefire announcement. lots of smart commentators persuasively shared why the worst wouldn’t occur, but to even entertain it could was (and should be!) difficult. feeling the moment isn’t weakness, but wow it can be hard to stay open-hearted

gonna sign up for mandarin lessons because it’s an obvious bet for the future no matter what happens this week

i think at this point it’s obvious that the reason the dems are so ineffectual is because there’s only minimal daylight between what’s happening and what they’ve wanted. it’s why voting “correctly” wasn’t enough: most dems needed to be primaried for wholesale change

there’s an axios reporter who keeps releasing fake headlines to pump the market and it’s honestly so blatant that it’s become a running joke

The idea of concentrating today on any work that won't in fact be completed today seems several degrees beyond ludicrous.

did not realize just how terrible the owners of this company are. sadly, also likely who supplies costco with their pistachios too

i am not a bunker type, however with everything going on and the lack of clarity around how impactful the damaged infrastructure will be i don’t think heading to costco and having a few weeks of canned and dried foods, if you’re able to, is a particularly controversial idea

it’s obvi they didn’t lip sync to wtp (or any teyana) because then it would have been too clear [redacted] would win and wouldn’t be able to be in the smackdown

fuck it i’m buying myself a bidet. not the toto, because baby steps, but still heated seat and rinse. i’m chooooooosing joy in this messy ass world

i’m aiming more nuance in languaging: instead of using “white gays,” i’m moving to “gays who uphold whiteness.” clunkier? for sure. but truer? yes too. i wanna be clearer on how racialized gays also use whiteness to access the levers of power, and many “white” people work to trouble the status quo

may we have a single person in canadian media that irritates centrists the way hasan does

humans are notoriously bad at comprehending long-term impact (climate change!), and i’ve seen a lot of people saying this war won’t really penetrate US and canada consciousness until it has its “tom hanks has covid” moment

At any moment some man (& they’re all men rn) may have already decided to fire off nuclear weapons thus likely initiating a chain of events that rapidly ends the world as you know it. :D And it’s been like that since the early 1960s! Almost all men except Thatcher, May, Truss & that’s it IIRC

this war has reminded me just how vulnerable so many people in the world are to the decisions of old rich men in the west. it’s so easy to take everything for granted, so i try to be grateful while at the same time understanding this inequality should not exist

i miss the days when i felt safe enough riding a bike around toronto. the last time really was during early covid. the risk/reward of being hit by a car was just too much

the stakes are real and yet the flimsiness of msm coverage just makes me feel more lost. clickbait-like thumbnail aside, i’ve been finding a pathway to reregulating is hearing really smart people meaningfully discuss what’s going on, and interviews like this one at novara youtu.be/Zue3yT2UpFk

you have to somewhat admire the games being played here. the valuation for spacex is nonsensical but the gambit here is manipulating how stock markets work. i’m not an expert in this but this is what i’ve gathered the plan to be:

the worst things on earth are happening and canada’s tepid response is that they are “concerned,” and label them “unacceptable” (even as they will continue to accept them)

hoppers was so slight, especially with the wild robot delivering similar notes better. you really see how the white pixar bro vibes have sanded the studio down to also-ran status

cassava cake really is something special

two months later and still blown away by how full of livingness this was youtu.be/G6FuWd4wNd8
