digging out my old kindle to read plays on has been a godsend. ah, the olden days when tech just worked and made you believe things would keep getting better

this is analogous to how tech ctos work: they could have a better product by focusing on better pay, more time off, cutting stress for workers; instead they will pay billions for ai crapware to feed the ego—helping a community and being loved will give similar or better life-lengthening benefits

i would love a crossover between janet and zosia

what do you mean they let go the animals? aren’t there no zookeepers in there?? 😅

reading reddit, letterboxd, and aoty on the arts is gonna melt my brain

what rosalia thought she was doing with lux lol

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent. Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there! It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.

pluribussy (2025)

wait, kiss of the spider-woman came out and left theatres already?!

rauw alejandro’s gorgeous carita linda is such a love letter to not just puerto rico, but focusing on its african and taino heritages—through bomba and vejigante masks. in a year with dtmf as well the boricua pride in 2025 was strooooooong

i’ll be curious if this holds up once the ai bubble crashes, and whether ontarians will just shift the blame to carney

INCREASED

the way the barista at the hipster coffee chain let me know “we don’t have that” regarding cinnamon, like, dude, it tastes good and can help control blood sugar—also are we still doing snobby barista it’s almost 2026

what shows or movies did funny-sad really well? futurama comes to mind with a handful of iconic episodes that could make me burst out laughing and then reduce me to tears

as someone who is already getting osteoarthritis, lemme say that, while it’s early, the red light (photobiomodulation, to be nerdy) and pemf combo appears to be working. i’ve already been doing targeted red light for over a year and i’m looking forward to a few months of full body therapy

hawke is good in “blue moon,” but really you’re going for scott as rodgers. when they’re together, the movie springs to life, and you wish it were a bit more traditional, flashing back to give us a sense of the good times and what we lost—if only to give us more time with these actors together.

phew, forest hill mommies breathing a sigh of relief that toronto only has a 2 hour free transfer window (when transit works)

the prada 2 teaser screams direct to streaming, that’s all

Wow. While we wait for the few remaining ballots to be counted, we feel like we have won this race. The recent drop put us nearly 1,400 votes ahead, just under the .5 percent threshold for a mandatory recount.

JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race. She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%. That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!). Not much left at this point.

"truly it was out of curiosity"

a full business day later, marriott still hasn’t said much more about sonder going belly-up and leaving people stranded without accommodation—and honestly it feels like this wouldn’t happen without it being an era of grifters

you deserve a breather. here’s dumplings with a crispy, browned skirt. i had them yesterday and looking at the photo i’m now hungry again

Ms Rachel says The New York Times asked her if she’s funded by Hamas

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

you just know a bunch of these dem senators were grumbling at zohran as future of the party and found the most on brand (ie stupidest) way to express that

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

never finished before midnight, even though i’ve tried to multiple times. i don’t know why because i genuinely remember enjoying before sunrise and before sunset. will tonight be the night?

Reliquia is one of my faves on the album, but Rosalia framing herself through foreign languages continues to irk me given her history as a white lady appropriating cultures—and the way that her use of other languages impresses only through a shallow western lens youtu.be/Q_Sory6S8Aw

I just watched the trailer and am ready! Plus, a co-sign by the director of All We Imagine As Light, one of my favourite films last year, seals the deal ❤️

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

going full professional strength red light therapy to fight off the seasonal blues!

E.T. holds up so well and I honestly can’t remember watching it since I was a young child! Hearing the music live is such a gift ❤️

Mother

I’ll get to Lux fully because I hear it’s great, but I need the white lady from Spain to lay off Asia because, no. I’ve already been uncomfortable with how she fetishizes Japan—she’s tip-toeing to Gwen—but her Mandarin is mushy and straight out of Google Translate. That’s nothing to be proud of!

This is so weird. Tesla has 3.33 billion shares outstanding, so this adds another 13% to the float. He only gets all of it if Tesla hits $8.5T in valuation, and the current $1.5T is already at a P/E ratio of 320. Truly the king of memestocks

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/fkMmsR4 The simple truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.

Sure, now tax the executives and corporations benefiting from our banking fees and phone bills (and grocery bills and prescriptions and rent)

This is an excellent example of how you can create two sides of seemingly equal worth when in fact one side is exploiting the other side and is obviously not happy about the exploited side having more rights

Note that this was based only on perception by citizens of G7 countries, which should make you ask: Who responded to this, what exactly do they know about other countries, and how much is informed by bias? Why is, for example, South Korea 31st while Austria 12th? Why is Argentina ahead of Mexico?

revenue and daily active users both did really well for the quarter but duolingo is slowing, and even if it isn’t directly because they’ve decided to go all-in on ai slop, it’s still satisfying to see the plunge

Bahahahahahaha

Australia is giving everyone 3 hours of free electricity at noon because they're generating so much solar electricity the price is going negative.

caught a preview of the canadian premiere of the comeuppance and the play is tricky because it is so immediate, set in 2022, but less immediate than when it premiered in new york in 2023. the actors haven’t fully found that vibe yet of people who trauma-bonded through high school together and

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

i want to believe that toronto could vote in a michelle wu or a zohran mamdani, but—

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.
